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. 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 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.

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. 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, 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 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, 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.

Tea Pain's great, Tea Pain's great, Lacy, what do you think of it? Would you go? No? No, I don't need to go there. No, 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. 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 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 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 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. 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 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, 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. 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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. 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 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, 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 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 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. 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, 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, 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 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, 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 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, 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 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 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, 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 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, 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, 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, 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 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, 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 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 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, 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, 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 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 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 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? 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, 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, 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 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. 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. 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 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 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 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.

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.

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. 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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.

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, 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 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, 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.

Tea Pain's great, Tea Pain's great, Lacy, what do you think of it? Would you go? No? No, I don't need to go there. No, 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. 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 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 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 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. 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 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, 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. 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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. 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 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, 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 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 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. 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, 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, 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 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, 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 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, 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 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 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, 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 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, 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, 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, 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 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, 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 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 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, 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, 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 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 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 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? 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, 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, 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 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. 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. 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 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 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 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.

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. 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 there the business at security, and I was they were bitch. First of all, we always get the business.
