Lil Rel Howery

Look at us. We're looking good. No, you look great.

All I did was not curse.

Am I like taking my head off? No, that's weird. No, I didn't do that.

I mean, that's with any of this stuff. Because with kids, you've got to be very, very, very, very animated. And my kids pick on me because they... So I guess as a dad, I'm usually pretty chill like this. But my kids say I've got a performance voice. And so it's really irritating. They're like, Dad, you know, around the house, you're like, hey, what's up?

But then you're on TV like, hey, I'm Lil Rel, everybody. I'm like, shut up.

Yeah. Well, I read the books to them. They're teenagers now. So, like, you know, they're always excited about all the projects I do. But they're really excited because, like, the chief character, once again, my kids are bullies. You know what I mean? So, chief is a lot like me because I'm always irritated. So, my kids love laughing at me being irritated. Right.

So, like, when we go to dinner and somebody, like, messing my order and I start making my face, like, here you go. I'm like.

They love me being annoyed. It's just, it's so, it's annoying how much, and then they're telling their friends, so I'm like, got this group of teenagers all laughing at me, waiting on me to be annoyed. Right. Yeah, it's really, teenagers are mean. Or like 31-year-olds are that say you have poopy breasts.

But you know what I'm laughing at? So I just turned 45 last month.

And so as you can see, I have my glasses off because I'm at the age where anything too close, I can't see it. Because I do have the glasses where you got the nearsighted at the top and the farsighted at the bottom. And I was trying to be cool in front of the kids, so I wore the ones that's just the one prescription. And so I was like, dang, I got to read. And... Right. It's not nothing.

So I fell off a curb two days ago. I sprained my ankle. I took. Oh, yeah. You don't crunches. Yeah. I took the book out and I couldn't see it. So I had to tell you this crazy. You got to explain something about being 45 to 70 years old. I don't care. Right. I was like, oh, yeah, you know, because I got to take these off because I'm 45 years old and I can't see. I could see.

OK, what chapter are we on?

Why y'all apply this? Because I didn't really answer this question. Oh, you really want to know. It's just a thought. First of all, you sat there with the news anchor face like, yo, what's the answer, right? But it's weird because that's a great, really dark question.

Well, I can't say what I want to say because we're still doing press for this movie.

You know, it's changed my life in so many ways. I think it's made me a funnier comic because it's not everything from a very dark place anymore. I'm able to, like, just pretty much talk about anything. But therapy has been so beautiful. Like, I'm at the happiest I've ever been because I've been able to unpack things over time. So, yeah.

And then a PA knocking, hey, hey, time. But I do both actually. It depends on what my scheduling is because I do like going in person. It's just in person is always so crazy because like, especially if you've been crying a little bit, it's like awkward when you leave. Yeah. You could tell the therapist wants you to go because it's time. They keep doing this. Yeah. Yeah. But you like this.

And so they're like, yeah, so.

You know, I'll say this, especially having a tagline. It's not too many times you can do a movie where you have something. Like, this was my yippee-ki-yay mother . So to have T.S. mother is still, like, one of my favorite. But I hate when I do go to the airport, and I always thought I'd have favor after doing a movie. Like, oh, yeah, they're going to look out for me.

And they'll be like, oh, yeah, T.S. mother. Take your shoes off! Thank you very much for coming.
