- Steve, I've been with my
husband for about 19 years, and we have two children together. He's the disciplinary in the household. However, at times, when he's going in on our boys, I'll chime in because I feel like he's being
a little too rough on them. He feels like I'm making them soft. How should I respond to this, or how should I act in the situations when he's disciplining our boys? - Well, you don't have to
agree with everything he does, but why don't you just stay out the way? I mean, and I'm not being
sexist, but listen to this. Why did you marry your husband? - Because I love him. - Is he the man of your dreams? - Yes, he is. - Is he the man you hope
your sons will grow up to be? - Yes. - So, why would you stop him
from raising 'em into that? - I'm not stopping him. I'm not stopping him. I just feel, at times, he's a bit harsh with the punishments. - He is hard on them 'cause they boys. Undisciplined boys grow up
to be undisciplined men. Do you know the problem you're gonna have? - [Guest] Yes. - Undisciplined men end up in the hospital or in a prison, or they end up in a grave. That's what happens to undisciplined men. I got four daughters and three sons. I have raised my sons entirely different than I raised them girls, 'cause I had to, 'cause it's a different set
of expectations on the boys. Now, do I want my girls to be successful? Yes. Do I want 'em get equal pay? Yes. Do I want 'em be treated fairly? Yes. Do I let men run over them? Ain't no way. I've raised my daughters
to be strong, independent, and all of that. All my girls got college degrees. (audience applauds) But them sons of mine, and they mothers know, let me have these boys. I ain't over here trying to
turn the girls into women, 'cause I don't know how. I know nothing. But I know about these boys and I know what it take to be a man. So I got 'em. Now, my wife has told me,
"You too hard on them boys." - That's what I think
he is, he's too hard. But they play us against each other now. So they know mom is more laid
back, dad is more strict. So they play the role of, if my husband's yelling at him, my 11-year-old will say, "Well,
mama said I could do it." - And why do you think he does that? 'Cause mama said. - He's playing us, but he's
playing us, Steve, and it's... I don't know. - Because kids are manipulative. - [Guest] Yes. - They are master manipulators. They don't mean no harm. They just doing what they can do. Kids are slick. Now they playing y'all
against one another. Marjorie and I came to a conclusion, when the girls come in
there and ask me something or the boys come in there, and I know, I got a
feeling they been upstairs, I say, go ask your mama. When they go and ask her,
they say, go ask your father. Now they go, "Well, I already asked mama." Well, what did she say? And whatever she said
upstairs, I go along with that. Now, if we disagree... (audience applauds) Marjorie and I, our kids are older now, Marjorie and I never allowed them to see us disagree in front of them. You can disagree with your husband. You just can't do it in front of the boys, because once they see it
in front of each other, then they got you, and here they come, 'cause you done stepped in too many times. (audience applauds) Have you picked up anything? - Yes, yes, I have. - [Steve] Thank you very much. - Thank you. - Let let your husband raise them boys. You might mess around and
have two fine young men, like the one you married. - [Guest] Yes. - All right, where's Rayna? - Hi, Steve. - [Steve] Hey. - So recently, a coworker of
mine had a family emergency and he needed to borrow some money. Now, we're not really close friends, and I felt sorry for him, but I didn't have any extra money myself. So what I did was, I referred him to somebody who had money and I ended up co-signing
the loan with him. The problem was, he ended up being late on his payments, and I had to pay off my own money to pay off the interest of his loan. So after this scenario, I kind of got traumatized in helping people out who needed money. So my question to you is, what do you think is the best way to deal with people who borrow money? - Okay, look... Can you come down here please? - [Rayna] Oh. - No, this is gonna be... (audience applauds) Hi, how are you? What's your name? Rayna?
- Rayna. - Come, here, come here,
you can come here too. Okay, now, I'm gonna show you
how to do this right here. Okay, now, I'm you. Ask me for some money. - Hey, Steve, can I have some extra money? - Yeah, well, what's happening? - My sister had to go to the hospital, and we don't have any
extra money to pay for it. - Oh, okay. (audience laughs and applauds) - [Steve] Yeah. Thank you very much. - [Rayna] Nice to meet you. - Thank you, darlin'. - I've been a chemistry
professor for 14 years. - You're a what? - A chemistry professor for 14 years. (audience members chuckle) - I already know I can't help you. Go ahead. - I love what I do, and I am very thankful and grateful to have the opportunity to touch lives and to influence young people. However, when I meet people,
they have similar reaction. Right? So people have that disappointing, kind of disgusted, like, face, like, "You're a chemistry professor?" - Yeah, because most of you flunk us. - [Audience Member] Yeah. (audience cheers and applauds) - I am blamed for the fact that
chemistry is hard to grasp, and it's not my fault. I actually enjoy teaching
people something hard. So you being the king
of comedy and so cool, what can I do so I get my students to, not to be resentful, and what can I do to make
people that meet me... I mean, men run away. - First of all, you ought
to quit teaching chemistry. (professor laughs) I'm 61 years old. What did I learn in
chemistry that I've used yet? Tell me. - It allows you to understand
everything around you. If it wasn't up for science, how do we get everything that we get? - Well, I ain't got-- - [Professor] How do we get medication? - Yeah, you can clap for her. You can clap for her,
that's cool, that's cool. What in chemistry have you used today? - Your favorite pie is
perfect the way it is because it's chemistry. Your ingredients are measured-- - My favorite pie? - Yes. - What chemical is peach cobbler? - Sodium bicarbonate, and then-- - [Steve] Sodium bicarbonate? - Yes, and when you heat that, and that-- - Salt? No, you, uh-uh, what
peach cobbler you eating? (audience laughs and applauds) We use peaches, peaches,
flour, baking soda, sugar. - Yes, the baking soda
is sodium bicarbonate. That's the scientific name of baking soda. - I don't have to know that. - No, you don't have to. You don't have to. (audience laughs) But if you put too much or too little, your pie is not gonna come
out the way you want it. - You're absolutely right about that. Yeah, I took chemistry. We didn't one time make
a pan of peach cobbler. (audience laughs) You should stop saying you're
a professor of chemistry and say that you are a professional, a professor of social chemistry. - I tried. People don't get satisfaction. People are curious and nosy,
and they wanna know more. I actually start any conversation by just saying I'm a teacher, because teacher is sweet and cute. (audience laughs) And then I'm like, "Oh,
that's interesting. "What do you teach?" I'm like, "Chemistry." I'm like-- - Well, lie. (professor laughs) You still keep telling the truth. Stop saying you a teacher
and telling the truth. Lie. - Okay. I did not come here
expecting that, but okay. (audience laughs and applauds) - Look, you're a sweetheart of a person. You're this really, really wonderful woman who has a wonderful profession
of teaching children and changing their lives. But you're just gonna have
to make the adjustment in the conversation. "I'm a chemist of social behavior. "I tell you how your chemical makeup "allows you to interact
socially with other people." You see what I'm saying? Now you got people interested in you. You ain't got to tell 'em about no iodine and all this bio de carbonate, whatever you say it is. It's baking soda. Don't even mention the... Just say baking soda. (audience applauds) Are you single? - Yes. - Okay, let's try something. Lemme show you how to get un-single. - Okay. - Lemme come up there. (audience cheers and applauds) - Okay, now, I'm a man, and I done came up to you. We out at an event. We at a social event. All right, now, you keep talking like
you a chemist teacher, and I'm gonna show you how this work. So, how you doin'? - I'm doing very well. How are you? - Yeah, what do you do for a living? - I teach. - Yeah, what do you teach? - I teach at a community college. I teach chemistry. - [Steve] Chemistry? - Yeah. - Oh, do you feel that right now? (audience cheers and applauds) - That's the... That's the branch of chemistry
I would like to explore more. (audience cheers and applauds) I might be good at it
because of my background. - Oh, okay. So then what we need to do is, like, exchange some of this H2O. - I'm sorry, but this is, this is kind of not the
chemistry that I am thinking of. - Yeah. As a matter of fact,
your eyes look like H20 with a little bit of nitrogen. - You need to work on your
flirting a little bit. - You don't understand. Let me show you how this go right here. (audience member screams) - She grown. Come here. Come here. Come here, watch this. Come here, come here. - Okay. - Come here, she grown. (audience applauds) How you doing? - I'm great. - Okay, would you like
to change your life? - No, I'm great. I'm thankful the way I am. - Lemme quit talking to these two crazies. (audience cheers and applauds) Do you wanna change your life? - I do, I do. - Today? - Yes. - Thank you very much. Would you like to change your life? - Oh, sure. - Today? - Yes sir. - Thank you very much. Would you like to change your life? - Yes. - Today? - Yes. - Thank you very much.
