There's someone in the audience today
-
who may know my staff better than I do.
-
Her name is Tracee Lopez.
-
She follows all these people that work for me.
-
She's such a big fan.
-
She did something that I'm very proud of-- she
-
requested the day off to watch my premiere show last Monday.
-
And for that reason, she gets to sit right here.
-
Tracee, come on down.
-
[ELECTRIC PIANO MUSIC]
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
Hi!
-
Oh, boy.
-
Sorry, I'm a mess.
-
Yeah, let me put this on your beautiful EV1 sweater.
-
Yes.
-
Of course you noticed.
-
Yep.
-
All right.
-
Hi, Tracee!
-
Hello.
-
So happy umm happy--
-
welcome.
-
Hello.
-
I'm so sorry.
-
OK.
-
No, that's OK.
-
And good things come to people who write in for 12 years.
-
13.
-
How many-- 13 years.
-
13 years.
-
It's amazing.
-
I mean, when I hear people started
-
watching the show when they were 12 years old,
-
it's quite something.
-
So--
-
I'm sorry.
-
So you wrote in at 12 years old.
-
But you wrote in under fake names
-
because you were trying to-- what did you do?
-
Well, my aunt was 18 at the time.
-
She actually had an email.
-
I didn't have one.
-
I was only 12.
-
So I just went under her name and I would say, like, hey,
-
my niece and I love you.
-
We watch you every day.
-
But it was really me that was the niece.
-
And so, yeah.
-
I was just doing anything to tag along even if I wasn't--
-
Right.
-
And so, you follow all these people that work for me.
-
Half of those people, I don't know who they are.
-
I mean, like--
-
Well, they're really funny.
-
They're really, really funny.
-
Are they?
-
They are really funny.
-
I'm sure they are.
-
I mean, there's so many people who work here.
-
Yes, and they have such a good bond together.
-
Yeah.
-
They do.
-
I'm sure they're wonderful.
-
So you got the call that you're getting tickets to this show,
-
and you've been waiting--
-
I can't believe how long.
-
I've heard that people wait for a long time for tickets.
-
But you've been waiting this long,
-
and you finally got tickets today.
-
And you work at the Apple Store, right, in San Antonio?
-
I do, yes.
-
I do.
-
And so, your boss, you just told him you needed the day off
-
so you could watch the show?
-
Oh, well, yeah.
-
I mean, I just saw, like, I was not going to work that day.
-
It's Ellen's premiere week.
-
That's just going to happen.
-
That's not going to happen!
-
Well, you should change jobs so that you can watch it
-
every day, don't you think?
-
I do.
-
I should, yes.
-
Yeah, you should work at night or something.
-
Well.
-
I don't know.
-
Think about it.
-
Yeah, I'll think about it.
-
All right.
-
So you help out your family when you're not working.
-
I do.
-
What are you doing?
-
Right now, well, I'm just trying to help my mom actually.
-
We were talking.
-
My mom took in a lot of my friends when I was young.
-
They didn't have a place to go.
-
And so, they're still my friends.
-
I'm just kind of working towards becoming that.
-
My mom and I volunteer for basketball together.
-
We do a lot of things together.
-
And I just want to grow up to be half the woman she is.
-
And that's what I'm just excited for.
-
It's amazing.
-
Yeah, she sounds amazing.
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
[INAUDIBLE]
-
So I know that you asked for a lot.
-
You're wearing my EV1 sweater, and you're wearing the socks.
-
Be Kind socks, yes.
-
And you're wearing-- yeah.
-
So I wanted to give you something
-
for your 25th birthday.
-
So I got you a bunch of the Ellen products
-
so that you don't have to wait and get--
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
Thank you.
-
Hi, Andy.
-
Hi.
-
Hello.
-
That's Andy.
-
I know.
-
You follow Andy?
-
Yes, I think so.
-
All right.
-
I think so.
-
All right.
-
And so, you have a bunch of stuff in here.
-
You have t-shirts.
-
Also, Shutterfly is celebrating 20 years,
-
and they want to celebrate your 25th birthday with $25,000.
-
[SOBBING]
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
Thank you so much.
-
You're welcome so much.
-
Oh, my gosh.
-
Thank you.
-
We'll be right back.
