- 2:15Speaker 1: So look, you're safe and sound.
- 2:18Speaker 2: I am safe and sound. Thank God.
- 2:20Speaker 3: Thank God, because it's a chaos back home in Dubai.
- 2:24Speaker 3: It's literally a chaos. We were hearing missiles being shot.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Over our villa. We had to get our kids out. Yes, but.
- 2:32Speaker 2: We're here.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Back in the hometown of Miami.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:35Speaker 2: With the family, with the Jamaican side. Yes!
- 2:39Speaker 1: So how does it feel to be back in Miami?
- 2:41Speaker 2: It feels good.
- 2:42Speaker 3: I always love coming back home. You know, I have
- 2:45Speaker 3: my mom, my grandmother, my brother, my aunties, my cousins.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Everybody's here. So coming back to Miami is never an issue.
- 2:52Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 2:53Speaker 3: It's always like coming back home, but it's nice. My
- 2:56Speaker 3: kids get to eat rice and peas and curry gourds and.
- 2:59Speaker 2: You know, they get to be normal, which is good.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Very on Dubai.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Yes. Well, look, now that you're back in Miami, um,
- 3:07Speaker 1: Are you able to resurrect the Real Housewives of Miami
- 3:12Speaker 1: by joining the show? Because, first of all, I love
- 3:15Speaker 1: the show.
- 3:16Speaker 2: I love Miami. It's my favorite.
- 3:18Speaker 1: It's one of my favorites, too. Yeah. Alexia's my girlfriend. Larsa. Hey, Larsa.
- 3:22Speaker 1: That's my sister. Gertie's my sister. Kiki Bart's my sister.
- 3:28Speaker 1: I love them. I love the girls. Me, too.
- 3:30Speaker 2: I'm friends with them. I love them. Will I be
- 3:34Speaker 2: on the show? I don't know. I mean, never say never,
- 3:37Speaker 2: but for now, it's... It's a no. It's a no.
- 3:42Speaker 2: I live in Dubai. It's a no.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I mean.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Look at you. You're like moving to your house.
- 3:49Speaker 1: I mean... We're not going to act like you can't
- 3:53Speaker 1: afford to hop on a flight. Yeah.
- 3:57Speaker 2: I mean, my whole life is here, right? I have
- 3:59Speaker 2: my house.
- 3:59Speaker 3: I have my family. It's... It seems right, but... Right now,
- 4:05Speaker 3: I'm just focused on just getting the kids settled.
- 4:07Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I don't know when we'll
- 4:09Speaker 2: be back to Dubai. I don't. And it's chaos. But
- 4:12Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't imagine my kids going to
- 4:15Speaker 2: school here. I don't know, Carlos. Honestly.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Is it concerning for you? Because the thing about it
- 4:20Speaker 1: is this. I've never been to Dubai. But of course,
- 4:24Speaker 1: I've heard amazing things in terms of like the school
- 4:27Speaker 1: system and just like how things are conducted there and
- 4:31Speaker 1: things like that. So is it a culture shock? Because
- 4:34Speaker 1: you have three boys, seven, nine, and 12.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Yes, yes. Oh, look at you.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Yes.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Did you hear, uncle? Mag seven Christian. He knows your age.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I know your age. And their birthdays just passed.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Yes, they're all in June. Yes.
- 4:48Speaker 1: How did you make that happen?
- 4:50Speaker 2: Well, the first one was a trap. Not a trap.
- 4:53Speaker 2: The other two planned.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Not a trap. You better.
- 5:00Speaker 2: You know, you got to do what you got to do.
- 5:02Speaker 1: You said you will be mine.
- 5:04Speaker 2: You will be mine.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Forever. I'm joking.
- 5:09Speaker 3: But yeah, no, it will be a complete culture shock
- 5:12Speaker 3: for them. I mean, Dubai is so different. It's so safe.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Never say never. But the thing is this. So you were.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Born and raised in Miami.
- 5:22Speaker 2: I was born in Jamaica, raised in Miami.
- 5:24Speaker 1: So talk to me about like what part of Jamaica
- 5:27Speaker 1: was you born into and who was Lisa as a
- 5:30Speaker 1: little girl?
- 5:31Speaker 2: Oh, I love this question.
- 5:32Speaker 3: So I was born in Kingston and Lisa as a
- 5:35Speaker 3: little girl was really the baby version of me.
- 5:40Speaker 2: No, really.
- 5:41Speaker 3: I've always been that girl that knew, I always knew
- 5:45Speaker 3: who I was.
- 5:46Speaker 2: And I credit this to my mom.
- 5:48Speaker 3: My mom was always so Backstory. So my mom and
- 5:53Speaker 3: then I have an adopted Chinese dad. That was the
- 5:56Speaker 3: household that I grew up in.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Right.
- 5:59Speaker 3: My adopted Chinese dad obviously looks very different to me.
- 6:02Speaker 1: When you say adopted Chinese dad, what does that mean?
- 6:05Speaker 3: So my mom was pregnant. She met this guy. She
- 6:09Speaker 3: was in love with this guy. She fell out with
- 6:12Speaker 3: my biological dad. And this guy loved her so much.
- 6:14Speaker 3: He was like, I love you.
- 6:15Speaker 2: I love all of this.
- 6:18Speaker 3: And I'm whoever, whatever this baby is, boy or girl,
- 6:21Speaker 3: I want to be a part of his or her life.
- 6:24Speaker 3: And so he raised me. I have his last name. Well,
- 6:27Speaker 3: now I'm married, but I had his last name. He
- 6:30Speaker 3: raised me as his own. He's Chinese Jamaican. So I
- 6:33Speaker 3: grew up in a very, very multicultural background, but he's
- 6:38Speaker 3: very Jamaican. He's a Chinese man would talk like, yeah,
- 6:42Speaker 3: bring the right tribe.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Like he's very Jamaican, but he's Chinese.
- 6:46Speaker 3: And so my mom always instilled with me, especially I
- 6:49Speaker 3: think in Jamaica, there's no racism, but there's very much
- 6:53Speaker 3: so colorism.
- 6:54Speaker 2: And so my mom is very fair. My dad is Chinese.
- 6:58Speaker 3: I think back then she probably didn't think about it,
- 7:01Speaker 3: but she was very, very intentional about telling me how
- 7:04Speaker 3: beautiful I was, how beautiful my skin was, how much
- 7:07Speaker 3: she loved my brown skin, how much she wished she
- 7:10Speaker 3: had my brown skin. You know, so I always grew
- 7:12Speaker 3: up knowing that I was her and nothing less. But
- 7:17Speaker 3: it's because of the nuggets that she always instilled in me.
- 7:21Speaker 3: I never wanted to be lighter. Actually, with my mom
- 7:26Speaker 3: being lighter, I used to be like, oh, my mom
- 7:28Speaker 3: wants to be like me.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Oh, poor thing. You know, lighter skin girls.
- 7:31Speaker 3: And it wasn't until I think I moved to America
- 7:33Speaker 3: when I found out people didn't like being dark skin.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Like it was like a taboo.
- 7:39Speaker 3: That to me was like unusual because I love the
- 7:43Speaker 3: color of my skin.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Never wanted to be lighter.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Even my makeup artist, she thinks I'm crazy because I'm
- 7:48Speaker 3: always like, don't make me too light. If people send
- 7:51Speaker 3: me a photo that's edited that has too much flash,
- 7:53Speaker 3: I'm like, no, dial it down. Like I always felt
- 7:56Speaker 3: like my brown skin was like my superpower.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Does that make sense?
- 8:00Speaker 1: No, it does make sense. And what's interesting is Because
- 8:04Speaker 1: you know this does exist, right? Yeah. In Jamaica, unfortunately,
- 8:08Speaker 1: there are some women who do bleach their skin.
- 8:11Speaker 2: A hundred percent.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Because is it true that in Jamaica, your currency lies
- 8:16Speaker 1: within the standard of what they believe beauty is, and
- 8:20Speaker 1: that is lighter skinned women?
- 8:22Speaker 3: Most times, but I wasn't privy to that. My parents
- 8:25Speaker 3: sheltered me from that. My Chinese dad was always like,
- 8:29Speaker 3: you're the prettiest girl in the world. I can't wait
- 8:31Speaker 3: for you to be Miss Jamaica, which I was. You know,
- 8:36Speaker 3: you know, like they always I don't know. It wasn't
- 8:39Speaker 3: it was so crazy to me. It wasn't until I
- 8:41Speaker 3: got older that I saw how much they poured into me,
- 8:45Speaker 3: maybe knowing that you know, the society I was going
- 8:48Speaker 3: to grow up in, but also because I had all
- 8:51Speaker 3: my cousins that were lighter with long, pretty hair. You know,
- 8:54Speaker 3: sometimes I look back and I'm like, do I, I
- 8:56Speaker 3: don't have a skin color complex, but do I have
- 8:58Speaker 3: a hair complex? Because I do love to throw my
- 9:00Speaker 3: wig on. I do love a little wet and wavy,
- 9:03Speaker 3: you know, maybe I.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Have some hair complex. I don't know.
- 9:05Speaker 3: But as far as my skin color and my looks,
- 9:08Speaker 3: my parents always, always drilled it in me you're the
- 9:12Speaker 3: most beautiful girl in the world.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Like things.
- 9:15Speaker 3: And so even with my three sons, I'm very, very,
- 9:18Speaker 3: especially because my husband's white and my kids are my color,
- 9:21Speaker 3: which I prayed for, you know, I wanted my kids
- 9:24Speaker 3: to look more like me, you know, no offense to
- 9:27Speaker 3: them being lighter. That's also beautiful, but I just see
- 9:31Speaker 3: so much beauty in Brown and black that I so
- 9:34Speaker 3: badly wanted my, I like manifested it, you know?
- 9:37Speaker 2: And so, I don't know.
- 9:38Speaker 3: I think overall in general, Growing up in Jamaica was
- 9:43Speaker 3: one thing, but now living here and seeing people with
- 9:47Speaker 3: different skin colors and people not appreciating being black. For me,
- 9:52Speaker 3: when I moved here, it was crazy.
- 9:55Speaker 1: When you moved to Miami and you started going to school,
- 9:58Speaker 1: did girls like you?
- 10:01Speaker 2: No.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Girls didn't like me. And I used to get bullied
- 10:06Speaker 3: all the time. I had a straight nose. They used
- 10:08Speaker 3: to call me Michael Jackson nose. Pre-lip filler days, I
- 10:12Speaker 3: was the DSL. So fun fact, I moved here and
- 10:17Speaker 3: DSL back then was wired internet.
- 10:20Speaker 2: Do you remember DSL?
- 10:21Speaker 1: Of course I do. Okay.
- 10:22Speaker 3: So when I came and they were like, oh, DSL, DSL,
- 10:25Speaker 3: I thought they were asking me about my internet. So
- 10:29Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I have DSL. Not knowing that
- 10:34Speaker 3: it's dick sucking lips. And so when I moved here,
- 10:37Speaker 3: I didn't like my nose because they said I had
- 10:39Speaker 3: Michael Jackson nose.
- 10:40Speaker 2: I didn't like my lips.
- 10:42Speaker 3: There were a lot of things about me that I
- 10:44Speaker 3: didn't like because I came from everyone saying I'm beautiful,
- 10:48Speaker 3: my parents, my family, to now people telling me that
- 10:52Speaker 3: my features, things about me was different. And so I
- 10:57Speaker 3: feel like, thank God I had that background. But no,
- 11:00Speaker 3: when I moved here, girls didn't like me. But I mean,
- 11:03Speaker 3: I was different.
- 11:05Speaker 2: I was different.
- 11:06Speaker 3: I learned to embrace what was different. And I did
- 11:11Speaker 3: different things. Like I was a cheerleader. I was, you know,
- 11:14Speaker 3: and they'd be like, oh, she's an REO, you know,
- 11:16Speaker 3: she's doing all the white things. Cause I didn't dance.
- 11:18Speaker 3: I didn't join the dance team. I joined the cheerleading team.
- 11:21Speaker 3: There were, there were a lot of differences, but you
- 11:24Speaker 3: have to remember growing up in Jamaica, where majority of
- 11:27Speaker 3: the people are black, it's a very, very different experience
- 11:32Speaker 3: to growing up in the U S right. And so I,
- 11:37Speaker 3: I always say this and one of my followers actually
- 11:39Speaker 3: pointed it out because there was something on the internet
- 11:42Speaker 3: about this one Jamaican girl and she was like, I
- 11:45Speaker 3: don't get this whole racism thing. It's because we've lived very, very,
- 11:50Speaker 3: we're all black people, but we've lived very, very different lives.
- 11:53Speaker 3: When you grow up in a country where it's predominantly black,
- 11:58Speaker 3: the leaders that you're seeing are black. The people who
- 12:01Speaker 3: are crowned Miss Jamaica and most beautiful are black. You
- 12:05Speaker 3: look at the world very differently, you know? And I
- 12:09Speaker 3: feel like, in general, when you come to the U.S.,
- 12:12Speaker 3: it's a whole different ballgame.
- 12:13Speaker 1: You just hit me. I now understand why you do
- 12:17Speaker 1: have concerns of your boys being infiltrated into being in
- 12:23Speaker 1: the States because you were... in Jamaica and you're like, oh,
- 12:29Speaker 1: this is all good. And then when you came to Miami,
- 12:31Speaker 1: you were bullied and had all these adversities. So now
- 12:33Speaker 1: I understand why as a mom, your boys had a very,
- 12:38Speaker 1: you know, sheltered life in Dubai.
- 12:41Speaker 3: But it is a very different world, you know, and
- 12:45Speaker 3: America is a very special place. I grew up here.
- 12:48Speaker 3: I know the ins and outs of it. Miami is
- 12:51Speaker 3: my city. Miami is very different to the rest of America.
- 12:55Speaker 3: In many ways, because it's so multicultural, it is a
- 12:58Speaker 3: melting pot. Dubai has those similarities, you know? So there's
- 13:01Speaker 3: so many things that I feel would be a culture shock.
- 13:05Speaker 3: But at the same time, Carlos, I feel like they
- 13:08Speaker 3: could benefit from.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. Because at the end of the day, you're
- 13:11Speaker 1: raising black boys. Yes. Do you know what I mean? Yes.
- 13:14Speaker 1: So I will say.
- 13:16Speaker 2: Who, by the way, know they're black.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Good.
- 13:18Speaker 3: I'm very proud because they have that very Jamaican... You know, Jamaicans,
- 13:22Speaker 3: we kind of think that... You know, if I die
- 13:24Speaker 3: three times, I want to come back to make in
- 13:26Speaker 3: the fourth. We think this is our world and everybody
- 13:31Speaker 3: should pay us taxes. And they very much have that mentality.
- 13:35Speaker 3: You know, my kids play soccer and they run track. So,
- 13:39Speaker 3: you know, their dad's English. So they feel like, OK,
- 13:41Speaker 3: the English side is the soccer side, but don't get
- 13:43Speaker 3: it twisted.
- 13:44Speaker 2: I'm black. I'm Jamaican. And they're very, very proud of that,
- 13:47Speaker 2: you know. But yeah, coming here.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Would be beneficial in the sense where I feel like
- 13:54Speaker 3: they would grow up quite fast.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Which I don't think I want.
- 13:57Speaker 1: And they'll be able to experience the real world, right?
- 14:01Speaker 3: Yes.
- 14:01Speaker 1: And to your point, depending on what they decide to
- 14:05Speaker 1: do as adults, whether it's stay, not stay, but like
- 14:09Speaker 1: live in Dubai, live in the States, at least it
- 14:12Speaker 1: won't be such a big culture shock as adults.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Yeah, it won't. 100%.
- 14:18Speaker 1: You were Miss Jamaica. How did that even come about?
- 14:23Speaker 3: Not the conventional way because of College Hill. So I
- 14:28Speaker 3: was crowned Miss Jamaica, but I grew up here. So
- 14:32Speaker 3: already going back there, it was, is she Jamaican enough, right?
- 14:37Speaker 3: Because she's a girl coming from the U.S. Her accent,
- 14:41Speaker 3: she's Jamaican. We can tell she's Jamaican, but she still
- 14:44Speaker 3: has that twang.
- 14:45Speaker 2: To it, right? So it was that.
- 14:48Speaker 3: Than me beating this girl up on TV. Like, is
- 14:51Speaker 3: that beauty queen-like? Like, is that Miss World? You know,
- 14:54Speaker 3: and so it was not conventional the way I became
- 14:59Speaker 3: Miss Jamaica because my first introduction to it was through
- 15:02Speaker 3: Miss Jamaica World. I feel like they used me to
- 15:06Speaker 3: bring tickets and to get the audience and stuff because
- 15:10Speaker 3: it was post-College Hill. And they disqualified me without me
- 15:15Speaker 3: even knowing. I didn't even have a dress. So they
- 15:18Speaker 3: had a designer that was like designing dresses for all
- 15:21Speaker 3: the contestants and she didn't have a dress for me.
- 15:23Speaker 2: It was literally sabotage.
- 15:26Speaker 3: And I remember saying to my mom, like, why? Why
- 15:30Speaker 3: did I even bother? You know, this was a lifelong
- 15:33Speaker 3: dream of mine. I've been doing pageants literally my whole life.
- 15:36Speaker 3: My mom had me beauty pageants since I was little.
- 15:38Speaker 3: I came to the States. I did all the teen
- 15:40Speaker 3: USA pageants. And I could have gone that route, but
- 15:43Speaker 3: I feel like my dad was always like, I can
- 15:47Speaker 3: see you as a Miss Jamaica one day. So I never,
- 15:50Speaker 3: ever thought I wanted to be Miss USA. I always
- 15:53Speaker 3: wanted to go back and be Miss Jamaica. So anyways,
- 15:55Speaker 3: long story short, when I got back there, I went
- 15:59Speaker 3: through the whole process and then they didn't even have
- 16:02Speaker 3: a dress for me for the final. I was backstage.
- 16:05Speaker 3: Eventually my mom had a backup dress because she's a
- 16:07Speaker 3: pageant mom. I went on with a wrinkled dress and
- 16:10Speaker 3: I didn't even place. And I was devastated because I've
- 16:12Speaker 3: never not placed top three in a pageant.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Like I was trained for this. So surely I should
- 16:17Speaker 2: at least place, right? No, I didn't.
- 16:20Speaker 3: And it was a learning lesson for me because life
- 16:24Speaker 3: is not always as you plan, right?
- 16:27Speaker 2: And so.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Janice Davis, she was amazing. She was a pageant director
- 16:32Speaker 3: and she was like, I saw what they did to you.
- 16:34Speaker 2: I need you. I'm going to host a pageant.
- 16:41Speaker 3: And I already know, just come as you came in
- 16:43Speaker 3: Miss Jamaica world. And I already know you'll get crowned.
- 16:47Speaker 3: And so she convinced my mom. We went ahead.
- 16:50Speaker 2: I did it.
- 16:51Speaker 3: I won. And it was my second round, basically. It
- 16:55Speaker 3: was my second round, but I went, I represented Jamaica
- 16:58Speaker 3: in China. You know, it was like over a hundred
- 17:01Speaker 3: contestants and I did really well. And then it just,
- 17:05Speaker 3: Flourish from there.
- 17:06Speaker 1: No, baby, you are flourishing. And listen, you have flourished.
- 17:10Speaker 1: So even going backwards a little bit, we were first
- 17:14Speaker 1: introduced to you on College Hill.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Yes. College Hill.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Big show on BET. Yes. How did that opportunity come
- 17:23Speaker 1: about first?
- 17:24Speaker 3: So I was a student at FAU, Florida Atlantic University.
- 17:28Speaker 3: And this guy, he was on MySpace and he like
- 17:31Speaker 3: messaged me and he was like, Hey, they're doing this
- 17:34Speaker 3: casting for College Hill. I think you'd be great. I
- 17:37Speaker 3: think I'm going to get picked and I want you
- 17:40Speaker 3: as a girl in the house. And I was like,
- 17:44Speaker 3: I don't know. And he was like, yeah. And then
- 17:47Speaker 3: I had a boyfriend at the time. He was a
- 17:49Speaker 3: NFL player. And he was like, no, why would you
- 17:52Speaker 3: want to why would you want to go and be
- 17:54Speaker 3: roommates with that? Yeah.
- 17:57Speaker 2: And I was like, you know what? I want to go.
- 17:59Speaker 2: Maybe I'll get picked. Maybe I won't.
- 18:01Speaker 3: I went to the audition and I think they called
- 18:03Speaker 3: me back like the next day for a second audition.
- 18:06Speaker 3: And then the next day for a third audition. And
- 18:08Speaker 3: then boom, I got picked and I was on College
- 18:13Speaker 3: Hill and I loved it. I actually loved College Hill.
- 18:16Speaker 3: It was different for me. I grew up as an
- 18:18Speaker 3: only child for my mom. My dad has a whole
- 18:20Speaker 3: bunch of kids and I'm the only.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Girl on both sides.
- 18:24Speaker 3: And so for me, it was, okay, I get to
- 18:27Speaker 3: see what it's like to live in a house with siblings.
- 18:29Speaker 2: You know, like, that's how I viewed it. And I
- 18:34Speaker 2: liked it. I mean, Kyle... Kyle was Kyle.
- 18:37Speaker 1: Kyle was crazy. Kyle was good TV. No, crazy in
- 18:41Speaker 1: a good way.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Yes, I always say Kyle walks so saucy Santana.
- 18:46Speaker 1: No.
- 18:47Speaker 2: And all of them could run.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Till this day, I always go with the rim and
- 18:52Speaker 1: sit on the... And... My imaginary hair.
- 18:57Speaker 2: And you know what was so crazy? It's not like
- 18:59Speaker 2: reality TV is now.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Like the cameras are just rolling and we're just living
- 19:03Speaker 3: our fucking best lives, you know?
- 19:05Speaker 2: And this was what he was like on and off camera.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Shout out to Kyle.
- 19:09Speaker 1: What is he up to now? You know what?
- 19:11Speaker 3: He's living like a very private life and I keep
- 19:14Speaker 3: trying to bring him out of his hiatus. I'm like, Kyle,
- 19:19Speaker 3: start a podcast. Do something because he's so freaking entertaining.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Still. Still.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Still. And he's one of my biggest cheerleaders.
- 19:28Speaker 3: If I post an outfit, he's in my DMs. And
- 19:31Speaker 3: I'm like, Kyle, I'm going to loud you up so
- 19:33Speaker 3: bad so that everybody sees your page if you dare.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Oh, so he doesn't want to be... No. Wow.
- 19:40Speaker 3: He's completely living like a very private, happy life.
- 19:44Speaker 2: And he's good. Yeah, but I'm like, Kyle, you need
- 19:47Speaker 2: to like... Kyle.
- 19:50Speaker 1: You were everything on College Hill. We still do the,
- 19:52Speaker 1: you did this, honey. You had the ribs. And the
- 19:55Speaker 1: fake hair. And the fake hair. Baby, when I say
- 19:58Speaker 1: to you as a little queen, honey, I was like.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 20:01Speaker 1: That's my sister.
- 20:02Speaker 2: They dragged me over Kyle. They dragged me over Kyle.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Why?
- 20:05Speaker 3: And we didn't get along on the show, but it's
- 20:07Speaker 3: crazy how close we are now.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Like, he's amazing. Y'all were young at the time. We were.
- 20:12Speaker 2: We were 18.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I know.
- 20:13Speaker 3: You know, like BET snatched us up as soon as
- 20:15Speaker 3: we were legal to sign.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaking of 18.
- 20:18Speaker 3: Yes.
- 20:19Speaker 1: How old were you when you did your first boyfriend,

- 21:29Speaker 3: Like, his mom will always have a special place in
- 21:32Speaker 3: our hearts because she's done so much for me and
- 21:34Speaker 3: my family.
- 21:34Speaker 2: You know... That's a whole nother backstory.
- 21:37Speaker 3: But our families grew up. We grew up in the
- 21:40Speaker 3: same neighborhood. We're all from the same place. And yeah,
- 21:44Speaker 3: it was just high school, uni type thing. But we're
- 21:48Speaker 3: still really good friends. He's with an amazing girl, I think.
- 21:52Speaker 1: And.
- 21:54Speaker 2: And his son is gorgeous. And he loves my boys.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Every time he comes to Dubai, he does not come
- 21:58Speaker 3: to Dubai without being like, yo, I'm here. You know,
- 22:01Speaker 3: my husband's met him.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're good childhood friends.
- 22:06Speaker 1: But Carlo! I'm sorry, I had to ask the question.
- 22:10Speaker 1: I'm not done yet. No, you're not done yet.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Carlo's not married.
- 22:15Speaker 1: No, I know. I'm not going to go. I know, but.
- 22:18Speaker 1: But what else do you know? Was he your first love?
- 22:22Speaker 3: I don't know if I would say love. We were
- 22:25Speaker 3: in high school. We were kids. You know, my first crush, maybe.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:30Speaker 2: My first crush.
- 22:31Speaker 1: I mean, y'all dated 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- 22:34Speaker 2: To like uni days. Like it wasn't.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Yeah. So for five years.
- 22:38Speaker 2: It was on and off too. It was high school.
- 22:40Speaker 1: It didn't.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Does that really count? Do we count high school?
- 22:44Speaker 1: Well, as a gay boy, I didn't have a boyfriend
- 22:46Speaker 1: in high school because back in my day.
- 22:49Speaker 2: You were hanging out with other girls?
- 22:50Speaker 1: I wasn't listening. It was like you was a baby, Lisa. Yeah.
- 22:58Speaker 1: I have always been Carlos King and I've always hung
- 23:01Speaker 1: out with the girls. I get it. In high school.
- 23:04Speaker 1: I get it. And I ran a gossip column in
- 23:06Speaker 1: high school for the school newspaper. Oh, did you? Oh,
- 23:09Speaker 1: I love that. I can see it. Yeah, it was
- 23:10Speaker 1: a gossip column.
- 23:11Speaker 2: So you were baby Carlos before Carlos.
- 23:14Speaker 1: No one I went to high school with is surprised
- 23:16Speaker 1: by all of this. Same.
- 23:18Speaker 3: So actually in my high school yearbook, I think the
- 23:24Speaker 3: most I was.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Most likely to succeed or most likely to be famous
- 23:29Speaker 2: was me. Something like that.
- 23:33Speaker 1: This is Reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Let's get back into the show. And that's the thing,
- 23:40Speaker 1: that's why I always tell parents, Look at your child
- 23:44Speaker 1: and really cultivate what comes naturally for them. Because that's
- 23:48Speaker 1: what they're going to dive into as an adult. So
- 23:52Speaker 1: with you and Jason, we know that he dated Jordan
- 23:57Speaker 1: Sparks for... Yes. Did he? For.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Continue.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Word on the street.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Hi, Giselle. Word on the street that Giselle Bryant drives
- 24:12Speaker 1: down in her Range Rover. It has been said that
- 24:18Speaker 1: Jason Derulo and Jordan Sparks' relationship was a PR stunt.
- 24:24Speaker 1: And based on my research, it's alleged that while he
- 24:29Speaker 1: was dating Jordan Sparks for TV, you guys were actually
- 24:34Speaker 1: still dating. Well.
- 24:36Speaker 2: I don't know if it was a PR stunt.
- 24:38Speaker 3: I can't speak on what arrangement they had, but I
- 24:41Speaker 3: do remember the night he met her. Like she opened
- 24:46Speaker 3: for him at a concert in the Bahamas and her
- 24:50Speaker 3: mom was there and they were like.
- 24:52Speaker 2: You're so pretty. You're so sweet.
- 24:55Speaker 3: And the manager wanted to take him away so they
- 24:57Speaker 3: can have like business discussions.
- 24:59Speaker 2: But I always felt like it was okay, why do
- 25:02Speaker 2: you have to take him away?
- 25:03Speaker 3: I've been around him with other artists before. It was never,
- 25:06Speaker 3: and like my gut feeling, I felt like it was more,
- 25:11Speaker 3: you know, and it did.
- 25:12Speaker 2: End up being more.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Were y'all dating at that time? We were. Was that
- 25:16Speaker 1: your man?
- 25:18Speaker 2: Yes, it was.
- 25:20Speaker 1: So the night that the manager took Jason away to
- 25:25Speaker 1: meet Jordan Sparks, that was your man? Yes. And what
- 25:30Speaker 1: happened after that night?
- 25:32Speaker 2: God, I'm not going to get into all of that.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Why not?
- 25:35Speaker 2: Because it's so long ago.
- 25:37Speaker 1: But I pay for studio time. You know?
- 25:44Speaker 3: You know, to be honest, I don't know what happened
- 25:46Speaker 3: with them. I really genuinely don't, but I knew I
- 25:49Speaker 3: was not going to be a part of that. Like,
- 25:51Speaker 3: I was not going to be a part of any
- 25:53Speaker 3: of that. Like, this was my boyfriend. You know, now he's...
- 25:58Speaker 3: going out in public with someone else. Keep in mind,
- 26:01Speaker 3: I did College Hill. So in my mind as well,
- 26:03Speaker 3: I'm like, I am that girl. Like, you want to
- 26:07Speaker 3: go out in public with somebody, it should be me.
- 26:10Speaker 1: But did he give you a heads up?
- 26:14Speaker 2: Yes and no.
- 26:15Speaker 3: It was kind of like, it kind of, I don't know,
- 26:17Speaker 3: it was, I can't remember, it was so long ago,
- 26:19Speaker 3: but they kind of just dropped it.
- 26:22Speaker 2: And I was just like, It's me or her kind
- 26:25Speaker 2: of vibe.
- 26:26Speaker 3: And then when it became a juggling thing, I just
- 26:30Speaker 3: stepped away because I've always known that I'm never going
- 26:34Speaker 3: to be second. I'm never going to share. I'm never
- 26:37Speaker 3: going to be none of that. You know, you can
- 26:40Speaker 3: check my track record.
- 26:41Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not that girl. You know, I'm actually
- 26:46Speaker 2: that girl.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:48Speaker 2: So I never needed to do that.
- 26:50Speaker 3: You know, like for me, he wasn't, it was high
- 26:53Speaker 3: school and I knew I had.
- 26:56Speaker 1: I love you so much.
- 26:56Speaker 2: There was bigger potential out there. You know, it wasn't.
- 27:00Speaker 1: You said bitch at 18, I still knew.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Like at all, at all. And I sure did swoop
- 27:07Speaker 2: on and up and out.
- 27:09Speaker 1: So you left that relationship.
- 27:11Speaker 2: I did. I did.
- 27:12Speaker 3: I left that relationship for what it was. And we
- 27:15Speaker 3: didn't leave on bad terms. It was just like, okay,
- 27:18Speaker 3: you need to figure out what you want to do.
- 27:20Speaker 3: And I'm not going to wait around for it. You know,
- 27:22Speaker 3: my grandmother always say, you can't put love in a
- 27:25Speaker 3: pot and cook. Which means you can't cook love. So
- 27:31Speaker 3: onwards and upwards. You know, and so I never... You know,
- 27:34Speaker 3: my mom always also said, you don't waste your youth
- 27:37Speaker 3: on a man. And I feel like I always had
- 27:39Speaker 3: that ticking time bomb. Like, I'm not going to give
- 27:42Speaker 3: you so much of me that I forget who I am.
- 27:46Speaker 3: It's not going to happen. And I've been like that
- 27:48Speaker 3: my whole life. I don't give guys, I mean, high
- 27:51Speaker 3: school is different, right? Because in high school, you don't
- 27:53Speaker 3: really know. But I think from 20 and up, I
- 27:57Speaker 3: don't think I give anybody over a year to waste
- 28:00Speaker 3: my time. And by the time I was 23, I
- 28:01Speaker 3: was married. You know, so just to put things into perspective.
- 28:07Speaker 3: And there were loads of people that came between Jason
- 28:08Speaker 3: and my husband.
- 28:09Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 28:10Speaker 2: You know, and it was just not, it was just
- 28:12Speaker 2: not for me.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Yeah. You did mention that there were, you know, a
- 28:17Speaker 1: couple of guys that came in between Jason and your
- 28:22Speaker 1: husband that you married at 23. That we'll get into
- 28:24Speaker 1: that too. But I also heard, and listen, this is
- 28:30Speaker 1: for you to clear the air. Because like you said,
- 28:32Speaker 1: you're not that girl anymore. You're that girl.
- 28:34Speaker 2: That one. With a capital T-H-A-T.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes. So I want to be able to
- 28:40Speaker 1: confirm that you've always been that girl. And none of
- 28:45Speaker 1: this is a surprise to me based on you. Because
- 28:49Speaker 1: the thing is this, you are strikingly gorgeous.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 28:53Speaker 1: I can't. I can't. I can't.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 28:58Speaker 1: I mean, I can. And I will. But... It's besides
- 29:06Speaker 1: the face.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 29:08Speaker 1: And the body and the personality and everything. Like you are,
- 29:13Speaker 1: when Nimi says, The I and the T. You're that
- 29:18Speaker 1: in capitalization. I love NeNe, by the way.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Shout out to NeNe.
- 29:20Speaker 1: Yeah, no, NeNe's fantastic. Like, you're the definition of having
- 29:23Speaker 1: the I and the T. And it's bolded, it's italicized,
- 29:27Speaker 1: it's capitalized, it's laminated, it's notarized.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 29:31Speaker 1: It's FedEx next day shipping. It's all the things, right?
- 29:34Speaker 1: Thank you. So, you are misguided. Jamaica. And at that time,
- 29:43Speaker 1: there was like Mr. Jamaica, Usain Bolt. I can hear
- 29:51Speaker 1: my teeth. I'm sorry. Did he prep you guys? No.
- 29:56Speaker 1: First of all, some rage drops. Y'all can't see this,
- 30:00Speaker 1: but Chanel, the stylist of the stars, is behind her
- 30:04Speaker 1: because they've been best friends for years. And what y'all
- 30:07Speaker 1: are missing is every time I say a name, they're gagging. Literally.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Like Lisa's team behind her, they're gagging at my... So
- 30:17Speaker 1: when y'all try to not give me my props for
- 30:19Speaker 1: being a journalist, I know how to do my research.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Oh my God, do you?
- 30:24Speaker 1: Usain Bolt, who I heard allegedly... Well, you're married, but
- 30:29Speaker 1: I definitely heard.
- 30:30Speaker 3: We.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Were friends. We were friends.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Yes. I didn't know... Was it Prince with Benefits? Oh,
- 30:40Speaker 1: my God, Carlos! I mean, this is before you were married.
- 30:43Speaker 2: I have three sons!
- 30:44Speaker 1: I know, but they need to know that mom was
- 30:46Speaker 1: always that girl.
- 30:47Speaker 2: She was.
- 30:49Speaker 1: And is. And will always be. I was going to say,
- 30:53Speaker 1: and always will be, bitch.
- 30:55Speaker 2: We were friends. We were friends.
- 30:57Speaker 1: How did y'all meet?
- 30:59Speaker 3: Um.
- 31:04Speaker 2: I think I was on a Miss Jamaica run, but
- 31:08Speaker 2: not doing sprints. Carlos!
- 31:19Speaker 3: Yeah, and we met in a nightclub. We met in
- 31:22Speaker 3: a nightclub in Jamaica on one of my Jamaica tours.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Yeah. And he came up to you?
- 31:27Speaker 2: I can't remember the details, but we were friends for
- 31:31Speaker 2: a while.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Okay. What type of person would you say he is
- 31:36Speaker 1: at that time?
- 31:38Speaker 2: A great person.
- 31:39Speaker 3: I mean, at the time, I think it was fresh
- 31:42Speaker 3: off the back of him winning all these medals. He's
- 31:46Speaker 3: like an icon in Jamaica. And honestly, another, like, it's
- 31:50Speaker 3: crazy because I'm friends with all my old friends. You know,
- 31:54Speaker 3: in the sense where I think everybody just has this
- 31:56Speaker 3: respect for me because I've always just been very true
- 32:01Speaker 3: to who I am. You know, do you meet these
- 32:03Speaker 3: criteria that I'm looking for? If you don't, I will
- 32:07Speaker 3: politely excuse myself from the situation.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Every guy I've ever dated or been friends with, I've
- 32:15Speaker 2: always been very clear. Like, I want to be a wife.
- 32:17Speaker 2: I want to be a mom. What are you looking for?
- 32:20Speaker 3: You know, and so they will string it along as
- 32:23Speaker 3: long as they can. But if you're wasting my time,
- 32:26Speaker 3: I'm going to move on. And it doesn't have to
- 32:28Speaker 3: be something that's messy, dramatic, you know, a crazy breakup.
- 32:33Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be any of that. It's just,
- 32:36Speaker 3: are you ready to give me these things that I'm
- 32:37Speaker 3: looking for? I didn't care if it scared people off.
- 32:41Speaker 3: I didn't care because if you're not on the same
- 32:43Speaker 3: page as me, we're not going to work. You know,
- 32:45Speaker 3: I always felt like anybody, I've never had a one
- 32:48Speaker 3: night stand. Shout out to the girls who have no judgment.
- 32:52Speaker 2: I don't give a shit. You know, your body, your choice.
- 32:55Speaker 3: But I've never done that because I always felt like
- 32:57Speaker 3: the exchange of it's an exchange of energy. And so
- 33:01Speaker 3: because of that, I've never done that. So for me,
- 33:03Speaker 3: anybody that I've shared my life with, been in my presence,
- 33:07Speaker 3: shared my body with is someone who I I look.
- 33:10Speaker 2: To the future with.
- 33:11Speaker 3: Right.
- 33:12Speaker 2: And so if you weren't giving me that, I was
- 33:15Speaker 2: going to move on.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Good for you. Yeah.
- 33:17Speaker 3: And I've always been like that because I can't, as
- 33:20Speaker 3: my mom said, you can't waste your youth, Panama.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Okay. And men do that.
- 33:25Speaker 3: And I think my mom went through that. She gave
- 33:27Speaker 3: my dad her whole youth and then to be left,
- 33:31Speaker 3: you know, when she's older to, to find somebody new
- 33:34Speaker 3: to start over to build with, you know?
- 33:36Speaker 2: And so, and he didn't give her that commitment. He
- 33:38Speaker 2: didn't give her all of him.
- 33:41Speaker 3: You know, it was always him out and doing him
- 33:44Speaker 3: and then she was being loyal. And so, you know,
- 33:47Speaker 3: I don't know if it's like a thing that black
- 33:50Speaker 3: women feel like they need to be loyal to men.
- 33:54Speaker 2: You know, no, you need to be loyal to yourself.
- 33:57Speaker 2: you have to choose you.
- 33:59Speaker 1: And that's how a man will respect you as well.
- 34:02Speaker 1: I love the fact that just because we're Jason Derulo,
- 34:05Speaker 1: because at that time in his career, I mean, the,
- 34:09Speaker 1: at that time, the biggest black male pop star, like international, right?
- 34:16Speaker 1: And the fact that you, back.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Then he was just starting out. He was, he was
- 34:19Speaker 2: a high school kid.
- 34:20Speaker 3: I was in music. He was in music. Um, you know,
- 34:25Speaker 3: and then it, His career was just taking off. It
- 34:28Speaker 3: didn't like skyrocket to what it is now. And to
- 34:32Speaker 3: his credit, where it is now is because of how
- 34:34Speaker 3: hard he works.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Yeah. But I'm proud of you that you didn't feel like, well,
- 34:38Speaker 1: let me just stay on the ride. No. Because I
- 34:40Speaker 1: see the potential.
- 34:42Speaker 2: Absolutely freaking not. Absolutely not.
- 34:44Speaker 3: I choose me in every fucking life, Carlos, in this
- 34:48Speaker 3: and the next. And I never, ever felt like that
- 34:52Speaker 3: was the best I could do. And I think a
- 34:54Speaker 3: lot of women, they don't move on because they feel
- 34:57Speaker 3: like they've hit the jackpot or they hit the best
- 34:59Speaker 3: that they can do.
- 35:01Speaker 1: You know?
- 35:01Speaker 2: No, honestly.
- 35:02Speaker 1: No, I'm receiving that.
- 35:04Speaker 3: And I never felt like that because I always felt
- 35:07Speaker 3: like I was the prize. I never felt like any
- 35:10Speaker 3: of these guys that I had in my past was
- 35:13Speaker 3: the prize. And by the way, the ones you listed
- 35:15Speaker 3: are not even scratching the surface. You know, I've moved
- 35:19Speaker 3: on to bigger and better as time went on until
- 35:22Speaker 3: I got to my husband, who's the best. But really,
- 35:24Speaker 3: I never felt like they were the prize. I felt
- 35:27Speaker 3: like I was the prize. I felt like I brought
- 35:30Speaker 3: as much to the table as the person that's coming in.
- 35:33Speaker 3: And it's not a financial thing. I was never attracted
- 35:35Speaker 3: to money. I was always attracted to ambition. I can
- 35:40Speaker 3: make any man rich. Any man rich if he has ambition.
- 35:46Speaker 3: So I never looked for a man that had money
- 35:49Speaker 3: because I know the drive that I have, whether I'm
- 35:52Speaker 3: a housewife, whether I am not a housewife, I am
- 35:56Speaker 3: going to get you to where God wants you to be.
- 36:00Speaker 3: So I never looked at a man like, oh, I
- 36:03Speaker 3: see that he has potential and he's going, yes, he
- 36:06Speaker 3: may have potential. He's going where he needs to be.
- 36:08Speaker 3: But are we moving in the same direction? And if
- 36:11Speaker 3: we're not, I'm moving the fuck on. Because I know,
- 36:16Speaker 3: my husband, for example, when I met him, he was successful,
- 36:19Speaker 3: but not as successful as he is today.
- 36:21Speaker 2: And he'll tell you that. He will tell you that.
- 36:25Speaker 3: I never leave a situation with a man being worse
- 36:28Speaker 3: than when he got into my presence. And that's not
- 36:31Speaker 3: even me being arrogant. That's just me being who I am.
- 36:34Speaker 3: I am so ambitious. And I just see the world
- 36:39Speaker 3: as my oyster that I feel like anything that I manifest.
- 36:43Speaker 3: And by the way, my husband and I, when we met,
- 36:45Speaker 3: we bonded over the secret, which my mom introduced me to.
- 36:49Speaker 2: As a child.
- 36:51Speaker 1: A child.
- 36:52Speaker 3: My mom introduced me to as a child. I was
- 36:55Speaker 3: like a young teenager. She brought the book home. I
- 36:58Speaker 3: wouldn't read the book. And she was so persistent. She
- 37:00Speaker 3: brought I think it was it was either VHS or DVD.
- 37:03Speaker 3: But she brought it home and she was like, let's
- 37:05Speaker 3: just do movie night because movie night was our thing.
- 37:08Speaker 3: And it was the secret. And I've lived the secret
- 37:11Speaker 3: my whole life before manifestation was a thing before vision
- 37:14Speaker 3: board before Instagram before all of that. And so I
- 37:18Speaker 3: always knew I wanted to be a mom. I always
- 37:20Speaker 3: knew I wanted to be a wife. I always knew
- 37:23Speaker 3: I wanted to have a successful fashion brand. I always
- 37:26Speaker 3: knew all of these things. So like when you asked
- 37:28Speaker 3: me when we started talking, Lisa, what were you as
- 37:31Speaker 3: a child? I was little Lisa. Everything doesn't always work
- 37:36Speaker 3: out how I plan it, but it works out better
- 37:41Speaker 3: most times.
- 37:42Speaker 1: I'm really fascinated by that because the beauty of you is...
- 37:50Speaker 1: you speak with conviction, right? And because you actually, you
- 37:57Speaker 1: walk the walk and you talk the talk. Like, this
- 38:00Speaker 1: isn't some PSA bullshit that you're trying to do to
- 38:02Speaker 1: sell a course. Like, this is something you truly believe in.
- 38:05Speaker 1: The reason why I'm silent is because the powerful affirmations
- 38:11Speaker 1: that you are even giving me, you know, across from you,
- 38:15Speaker 1: the energy is so... tangible that I can feel it.
- 38:21Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And it's me actually, truly
- 38:26Speaker 1: receiving the energy because I believe in all that. I
- 38:28Speaker 1: read The Secret. I watched the same movie you watched.
- 38:31Speaker 1: That's why I'm like, no, girl, I know everything you're
- 38:34Speaker 1: talking about.
- 38:35Speaker 2: But I've always been like this, Carlos.
- 38:37Speaker 3: I mean, if you go back to even my college
- 38:39Speaker 3: hill footage, people always tag me when my first introduction,
- 38:44Speaker 3: they pulled a big yacht up and out of nowhere,
- 38:46Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm going to own one of those. And
- 38:49Speaker 3: Kyle was like, you know, and I'm like, I'm going
- 38:52Speaker 3: to have one of those.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Oh, I'm going to.
- 38:53Speaker 2: Oh, we pull up to the house and start. Oh,
- 38:55Speaker 2: that's going to be mine.
- 38:56Speaker 3: I've always been like that. Not on purpose, not consciously,
- 39:01Speaker 3: but my subconscious is always in the now and in
- 39:06Speaker 3: the future at the same time. You know, I don't
- 39:09Speaker 3: even know how to put it into words, but I've
- 39:11Speaker 3: always been that person. And so with my previous relationships,
- 39:15Speaker 3: with even my current relationship, you know, I love my
- 39:18Speaker 3: husband so much. He's literally my best friend. He's everything
- 39:22Speaker 3: that I prayed for and more. When I was going
- 39:25Speaker 3: through my relationship before him, I was on the bathroom
- 39:28Speaker 3: floor crying. my eyes out because my boyfriend at the
- 39:32Speaker 3: time publicly humiliated me. And I was like, this cannot
- 39:36Speaker 3: be it.
- 39:37Speaker 1: Kevin Durant broke your heart.
- 39:40Speaker 2: How did Kevin break my heart?
- 39:42Speaker 1: Because that's why you were crying. Because he... No.
- 39:46Speaker 2: You know what?
- 39:47Speaker 1: Okay, listen. Listen. There's a tweet about Kevin Durant, um,
- 39:53Speaker 1: that Kevin Durant did. And I would like for you
- 39:57Speaker 1: to clear the air because I, you know, sometimes things
- 40:00Speaker 1: aren't true.
- 40:01Speaker 2: Carlos, this was what, 20 years ago?
- 40:04Speaker 1: You know, things live on the world wide web and
- 40:08Speaker 1: his fabulous mother who manages him, um, Did not expunge it, child.
- 40:16Speaker 3: All right.
- 40:17Speaker 1: There's a tweet out there that I was able to
- 40:18Speaker 1: find on the World Wide Web where Cameron Durant was
- 40:21Speaker 1: watching College Hill, right? Lisa was on it. And he
- 40:26Speaker 1: pretty much said, who is this Lisa Milan girl? Like,
- 40:29Speaker 1: who is she? And it went viral at that time. Oh,
- 40:33Speaker 1: my God. At that time. In terms of what viral
- 40:37Speaker 1: meant at that time. And that's how you were able
- 40:41Speaker 1: to find out that this man found you attractive. Yeah. Yeah.
- 40:47Speaker 2: Carlos and his digging.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Did he reach out to you? Did you respond in
- 40:54Speaker 1: the Twitter?
- 40:55Speaker 2: Everybody asks that. Did I ever respond to the DM?
- 40:58Speaker 2: I did respond to the tweet. We were friends. You know, Curtis,
- 41:03Speaker 2: I was friends with these people.
- 41:05Speaker 1: That's fine. Yeah.
- 41:07Speaker 2: I was friends with these people. Yeah, we were friends.
- 41:13Speaker 1: How long we got friends for?
- 41:15Speaker 2: Not that long.
- 41:16Speaker 1: Okay.
- 41:17Speaker 3: Yeah, we weren't friends that long. Yeah, there was an
- 41:21Speaker 3: overlap with my friendships.
- 41:24Speaker 1: I did hear it was an overlap between Usain and Kevin. Wow. Okay. Well,
- 41:34Speaker 1: this ain't Watch What Happens Live, so... Hi, Andy. The
- 41:40Speaker 1: thing is... Oh, my God, Carlos! Was Usain not happy
- 41:46Speaker 1: that this guy in the NBA pretty much wanted his girl?
- 41:53Speaker 2: Well, I was friends with Kevin first. Right. Right?
- 41:56Speaker 3: And then, you know, our friendship... Didn't go anywhere. And
- 42:00Speaker 3: then I was friends with Usain. And then we all
- 42:03Speaker 3: moved on, you know?
- 42:04Speaker 2: I need to blot, guys.
- 42:05Speaker 1: Not blot! Is that what we're calling it? We're keeping
- 42:10Speaker 1: all this in, by the way. This is the first
- 42:12Speaker 1: interview where my guest is like, bitch, where's glam? And
- 42:16Speaker 1: blot me. Where is glam to blot me? And I'm
- 42:18Speaker 1: literally keeping all of this in. I'm sweating and blotting. Oh,
- 42:24Speaker 1: my God. Chanel's gagging. Oh, my God. I do my research. Wait,
- 42:30Speaker 1: but what research is this, though, Carlos? I mean, is
- 42:33Speaker 1: it not a true one? Like, you're going too far back.
- 42:36Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes you have to... With.
- 42:40Speaker 2: The old school girls, you got to go all the
- 42:42Speaker 2: way back.
- 42:42Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to go backwards to get forward. Okay,
- 42:45Speaker 1: we didn't take out. I love this so much. We
- 42:55Speaker 1: giving y'all some behind the scenes in Reality with the King.
- 42:57Speaker 1: The first interview in the history of my podcast. Oh
- 43:01Speaker 1: my God. Where you guys get to see what happens. No,
- 43:04Speaker 1: you can't keep this in. You're the first guest in
- 43:07Speaker 1: the history of Reality with the King. In the middle
- 43:10Speaker 1: of the interview say, block me, bitch. I need to
- 43:13Speaker 1: figure this out. You just made history. Because... You are
- 43:22Speaker 1: that girl. Oh, my God, Carlos. Okay, so you were
- 43:26Speaker 1: crying over a.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Ex-boyfriend.
- 43:29Speaker 1: Ex-boyfriend.
- 43:31Speaker 2: Crying my eyes out. Publicly humiliated.
- 43:35Speaker 1: Why were you publicly humiliated, though?
- 43:39Speaker 2: Because I was cheating on. I was cheated on. I
- 43:41Speaker 2: was cheated on publicly.
- 43:42Speaker 3: Like, it was like a whole new thing.
- 43:45Speaker 1: Who was the ex?
- 43:46Speaker 2: I'm not saying.
- 43:47Speaker 1: He was celebrity.
- 43:48Speaker 2: He was celebrity.
- 43:49Speaker 1: In sports. In sports.
- 43:50Speaker 2: He was celebrating something.
- 43:51Speaker 1: Okay.
- 43:54Speaker 3: And everybody at the time knew we were together. So
- 43:56Speaker 3: it was just like, why? Like, why would you do this? Anyways,
- 44:00Speaker 3: long story short, crying on my bathroom floor, my best
- 44:04Speaker 3: friend Irene, she was like, girl, what you not going
- 44:08Speaker 3: to do is be locked up in your apartment crying
- 44:11Speaker 3: over no man. Like, we don't do that. And I
- 44:13Speaker 3: was like, yes, but this is not my way out.
- 44:16Speaker 3: And she was like, no, it's Sunday.
- 44:18Speaker 2: We're going to live.
- 44:19Speaker 3: And I was like, I'm not in the mood. I
- 44:21Speaker 3: don't want to go. And she was like, I'm picking
- 44:23Speaker 3: you up. We're going to live. The promoter said he
- 44:26Speaker 3: got us.
- 44:27Speaker 2: So I was like, okay, bet.
- 44:29Speaker 3: You know, live on Sunday, Miami. Like back then, like
- 44:33Speaker 3: that was the place to be. That was the thing
- 44:35Speaker 3: to do. And that's literally how you get rid of
- 44:37Speaker 3: an ex. So we did just that. And I met
- 44:41Speaker 3: my husband.
- 44:42Speaker 2: That night.
- 44:43Speaker 3: But I didn't know at the time he was my husband. Actually,
- 44:45Speaker 3: my best friend and his business partner, they hit it off.
- 44:48Speaker 3: And we were the wingmen because he was going through
- 44:51Speaker 3: a breakup and was on his.
- 44:53Speaker 2: Worldwide trip to be very wild.
- 44:56Speaker 3: And I was just crying on my bathroom floor, not
- 44:59Speaker 3: even sure if I like men anymore.
- 45:01Speaker 2: Right. So it was a situation. And yeah, I met
- 45:04Speaker 2: my husband at Live.
- 45:08Speaker 1: So what? sparked the conversation between you and your now
- 45:14Speaker 1: husband at that time? Like, did he approach you and.
- 45:19Speaker 2: Yeah, so they had a table.
- 45:21Speaker 3: And the table had Ace of Spades and Dom Perignon
- 45:23Speaker 3: and all the good shit. And we walked in. The
- 45:26Speaker 3: promoter was like, okay. At the time, I was just Milan.
- 45:30Speaker 3: So they were like, okay, Milan, putting you on the
- 45:32Speaker 3: best table. They put us on the table with my husband.
- 45:35Speaker 1: Okay.
- 45:36Speaker 3: Who was just there with his business partner, no girls.
- 45:38Speaker 3: So Liv used to have a thing where you can't
- 45:41Speaker 3: just have a table with guys. Like, you need to
- 45:43Speaker 3: have girls on your table. And so as soon as
- 45:45Speaker 3: we pulled up, they put us on that table.
- 45:47Speaker 2: I was not interested. But, you know, he was nice.
- 45:51Speaker 2: He was chatty.
- 45:52Speaker 3: But my best friend and his business partner, like, they
- 45:55Speaker 3: were love at first sight at the time. They didn't
- 45:58Speaker 3: work out. But we were kind of like the wingmen.
- 46:01Speaker 3: And he's sitting over there.
- 46:04Speaker 2: Because she's still my best friend to this day.
- 46:07Speaker 1: Yeah, so you were there. We had a witness in
- 46:09Speaker 1: the building.
- 46:09Speaker 2: 20 years.
- 46:13Speaker 1: So legend has it that that night, the conversation did
- 46:21Speaker 1: not end there. So what happened?
- 46:23Speaker 2: Not legend.
- 46:24Speaker 3: You read this because I wrote a whole story about this.
- 46:27Speaker 2: But yeah, so no, it didn't end there.
- 46:31Speaker 3: I think the next day, we didn't go home with
- 46:32Speaker 3: them because I'm not, like I said, I'm not a
- 46:34Speaker 3: one night stand girl. But they were like, hey, let's
- 46:37Speaker 3: go to lunch. So we went to, I think, Ball
- 46:39Speaker 3: Harbor for lunch. And I was like, okay, you better
- 46:41Speaker 3: get me some Red Bottoms. You better buy me some things.
- 46:44Speaker 3: And they were not playing game.
- 46:46Speaker 1: He took you shopping?
- 46:47Speaker 2: No, he didn't.
- 46:49Speaker 3: And I thought that was a red flag. I was like, okay,
- 46:52Speaker 3: you took me out and didn't buy me things. Like,
- 46:54Speaker 3: that's a red flag. You know, but they were like, we've.
- 46:57Speaker 2: Never been to the Caribbean. Oh, you're Jamaican. Let's go
- 46:59Speaker 2: to Jamaica. And I was like, okay. So he was like,
- 47:02Speaker 2: let's get a private jet. And I was like, okay.
- 47:05Speaker 1: And.
- 47:06Speaker 3: There were no flights to Jamaica because there was a storm.
- 47:08Speaker 3: So we ended up in the Bahamas.
- 47:10Speaker 2: On a private jet? Yes. And the rest is history.
- 47:15Speaker 2: Here we are today. Almost 15 years.
- 47:18Speaker 1: At that time. 14. At that time, did you ever
- 47:23Speaker 1: date a white man?
- 47:24Speaker 2: Yes.
- 47:25Speaker 3: I did.
- 47:25Speaker 1: Prior to him.
- 47:26Speaker 3: I did date white guys before my husband. I dated
- 47:29Speaker 3: all types, Carlos. I'm not that girl that's like, I'm only.
- 47:33Speaker 2: Dating black men.
- 47:34Speaker 3: I actually think that limits black women, like to the extreme,
- 47:38Speaker 3: because I don't think black men are as loyal to
- 47:41Speaker 3: black women as we are to them.
- 47:43Speaker 2: I go where I'm loved. I go where I'm appreciated.
- 47:47Speaker 2: I go where I'm respected.
- 47:49Speaker 3: If I can get those three and the vibe is right,
- 47:53Speaker 3: I'm going to go there. You know, I mean, 50
- 47:56Speaker 3: Cent made a comment and he was like, I like exotics. Well,
- 48:00Speaker 3: Newsflat to white, Asian, Hispanic, every other, we are the exotic.
- 48:06Speaker 2: You know, so I don't limit myself, Carlos. I go
- 48:09Speaker 2: where I'm loved. I go where I'm respected. And that's that.
- 48:14Speaker 1: What advice do you give black women? Because I do
- 48:16Speaker 1: have a lot of single black female friends. Mm-hmm.
- 48:20Speaker 2: And how is that working out for them?
- 48:23Speaker 1: Not so well.
- 48:23Speaker 2: Because the dating pool is so small.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 48:25Speaker 3: And then the successful black men, most of them, not all,
- 48:28Speaker 3: because I love black men. I've dated black men.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 48:32Speaker 3: Most of them, you know, they have this mindset where
- 48:36Speaker 3: they're successful so they feel like they can have multiple
- 48:38Speaker 3: because they are just that small percentage.
- 48:42Speaker 2: My advice would be go out and date others.
- 48:45Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 48:46Speaker 2: You know, date others. Go where you're loved.
- 48:48Speaker 3: If you're loved by a black guy, respected, treated well,
- 48:52Speaker 3: be with him. If you're loved by a white guy,
- 48:55Speaker 3: don't limit yourself.
- 48:56Speaker 2: Be with him.
- 48:56Speaker 3: Asian, Hispanic, whatever it is. Because I feel ultimately the
- 49:02Speaker 3: world will be neutral. I pray for that one day.
- 49:05Speaker 3: I pray for the day where our great, great grandchildren
- 49:09Speaker 3: don't have to identify by a race on a thing.
- 49:13Speaker 1: Right.
- 49:13Speaker 2: And me, I see color and I see color for
- 49:16Speaker 2: what it is. It's beautiful. And it's made it's meant
- 49:19Speaker 2: to be.
- 49:20Speaker 3: Blended you know it's meant to be celebrated but only
- 49:24Speaker 3: where you're loved and respected because I for damn sure
- 49:29Speaker 3: I'm not going to stay loyal and committed and down
- 49:34Speaker 3: for one group because I'm not I'm not going to
- 49:39Speaker 3: do that I'm going to be down and loyal for
- 49:41Speaker 3: those who are down and loyal for me. And whether
- 49:44Speaker 3: that comes in the form of a black man, a
- 49:46Speaker 3: white man, an Asian man, that's where I'm going to go.
- 49:49Speaker 3: And I think too often black women are, we're just
- 49:51Speaker 3: such loyal women that I feel so often we're like, oh, no, no, no,
- 49:56Speaker 3: I'm only dating black. I mean, the other day there
- 49:58Speaker 3: was this girl that was missing, rest her soul. And
- 50:01Speaker 3: it was the whole situation with the white guy. And
- 50:03Speaker 3: so many women are like, well, that's why I don't date.
- 50:05Speaker 1: Like, no, no, no.
- 50:08Speaker 3: You know, because if you look at statistic, then you'll
- 50:11Speaker 3: be like, well, that's why I don't date black or
- 50:14Speaker 3: that's why I don't date white. You know, you got
- 50:16Speaker 3: to go where you're loved. And everybody's situation is completely different.
- 50:21Speaker 3: My advice would be go where you're loved and respected.
- 50:24Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. I think you go where
- 50:26Speaker 1: you love and you're respected, especially as black women. I think, listen,
- 50:34Speaker 1: the stats are there that Unfortunately, when a black man
- 50:38Speaker 1: makes it big, whether it's in the entertainment industry or
- 50:41Speaker 1: whatever industry they're in, like you said, they do know
- 50:45Speaker 1: that there are an anomaly and they can have multiple women.
- 50:49Speaker 1: And the women will accept it because they feel like,
- 50:52Speaker 1: you know, they.
- 50:53Speaker 2: Feel like that's the best they can do.
- 50:54Speaker 3: I know.
- 50:54Speaker 1: And that's why I do want you to talk to
- 50:57Speaker 1: us about the fact that look. You are with a
- 51:02Speaker 1: man that not only, yes, he's rich and successful, we
- 51:05Speaker 1: get it. But the difference is, because I've had friends
- 51:09Speaker 1: who dated, married white men who were rich and successful,
- 51:14Speaker 1: but they weren't nice to them. Yeah. Right? Yeah. And
- 51:19Speaker 1: what we've seen is your husband is nice to you.
- 51:23Speaker 2: He's amazing. Listen, white is not always right.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 51:26Speaker 2: And that rhymes.
- 51:27Speaker 3: Right. White is not always right. That's not what we're
- 51:30Speaker 3: pushing here. My husband could be an anomaly, whatever. He
- 51:36Speaker 3: could be one off, right? But he's my person and
- 51:41Speaker 3: he's not my person because of the color of his skin.
- 51:43Speaker 3: He's my person because he genuinely loves me. When the wig,
- 51:47Speaker 3: the makeup, all of it comes off, when I'm at
- 51:50Speaker 3: my weakest, he loves me just as much as he
- 51:54Speaker 3: does when I'm at my best.
- 51:56Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 51:56Speaker 3: Like, he actually prefers me when I'm not dolled up
- 52:02Speaker 3: and all of that. He loves me when we're just
- 52:04Speaker 3: sitting there just having conversations about life and where we
- 52:07Speaker 3: want to go and what we're trying to do.
- 52:08Speaker 2: And you know what I mean?
- 52:10Speaker 3: Me supporting him when things are down, him supporting me
- 52:12Speaker 3: when things are down. Like, literally, I pray to God
- 52:15Speaker 3: that God continues to bless our marriage. And I'm not
- 52:18Speaker 3: saying it's perfect. It's far from it. But it's real, Carlos. Like,
- 52:23Speaker 3: I could cry.
- 52:24Speaker 2: Like, it's real.
- 52:25Speaker 1: It's real.
- 52:26Speaker 3: Like I grew up in a situation where with my father,
- 52:30Speaker 3: you know, I didn't know my biological father until I
- 52:32Speaker 3: was older. My adopted father raised me. I look at
- 52:37Speaker 3: men at face value, right? Because a Chinese man broke
- 52:42Speaker 3: my mom's heart. A black man abandoned my mom. Her
- 52:46Speaker 3: last name is Garcia because she married a Hispanic man
- 52:50Speaker 3: that also failed her.
- 52:51Speaker 2: So for me, I look at people for who they are.
- 52:55Speaker 2: Not for this.
- 52:57Speaker 3: You understand? And not for what's in their pockets. Like,
- 53:00Speaker 3: where are we going together? Can we build together? If
- 53:05Speaker 3: you're not pulling in the same direction, regardless of race,
- 53:08Speaker 3: regardless of finances, you're not going to work out. What
- 53:12Speaker 3: are your goals? You need to find that out.
- 53:14Speaker 2: What are your goals? What are you trying to achieve?
- 53:16Speaker 3: And I have friends who are in their 40s and
- 53:19Speaker 3: still looking for love. And I think love is out there.
- 53:22Speaker 1: But.
- 53:24Speaker 3: You have to open up the gates and not just
- 53:27Speaker 3: be specific to one type of guy, right? Because then
- 53:31Speaker 3: your margins are smaller.
- 53:33Speaker 2: It's math, right? Your margins are smaller. Why not go
- 53:36Speaker 2: on the.
- 53:37Speaker 3: Date with the quirky guy that's Asian guy that sits
- 53:40Speaker 3: behind the desk? Why not give the guy that bought
- 53:43Speaker 3: you coffee at the coffee shop A chance.
- 53:47Speaker 2: You know, why? Because he must be black.
- 53:49Speaker 3: Why?
- 53:50Speaker 1: Or you think he's soft or corny and.
- 53:53Speaker 2: All of these things.
- 53:54Speaker 3: Like, you know, like, why do we have to always
- 53:56Speaker 3: go for what we think in our minds? Like, my
- 53:59Speaker 3: husband is not what I envisioned when I was a
- 54:02Speaker 3: little girl. You know, like, he wasn't, but he fits
- 54:05Speaker 3: everything internally.
- 54:07Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
- 54:08Speaker 3: He fits everything internally. Like, my husband loves me, and
- 54:13Speaker 3: I love him so much. So I can cry like
- 54:17Speaker 3: so much. Like I can't even imagine life without him.
- 54:21Speaker 3: But if life were to end without him, I would
- 54:24Speaker 3: also be okay. I would be okay because I knew
- 54:26Speaker 3: I gave that relationship 100%. And I'll be okay because
- 54:30Speaker 3: I know on to the next. And the next will
- 54:32Speaker 3: be better, onward and upward.
- 54:34Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 54:35Speaker 3: And I hope that little girls, I hope that little boys, whether...
- 54:41Speaker 3: Regardless of your situation, regardless of where you're coming from,
- 54:44Speaker 3: just give people a chance.
- 54:46Speaker 2: Give people a chance. Not because you need to be loyal.
- 54:49Speaker 3: Not because society tells you that's the type of person
- 54:51Speaker 3: you should be with. But because the person is your person.
- 54:55Speaker 2: You know?
- 54:56Speaker 3: And I feel like that's what we're lacking. And that's
- 54:59Speaker 3: why so many of us are single. Single. Because we're
- 55:03Speaker 3: just so caught up on, I'm sorry, I only date this, this, this.
- 55:07Speaker 1: You appreciate that. Yes. I feel the same way about
- 55:10Speaker 1: my community. And I've been very public about this. Because
- 55:12Speaker 1: in the gay community, believe it or not. Yeah. They,
- 55:16Speaker 1: not they, because I'm part of the community. In our community,
- 55:19Speaker 1: the gay black community, there's so much decision between us
- 55:23Speaker 1: because of. Sexual positions being a top and a bottom, right?
- 55:27Speaker 1: I only date a top. I only want a bottom.
- 55:29Speaker 1: I only want a masculine man. You know, it's all
- 55:32Speaker 1: of these sort of focus that removes you from finding somebody...
- 55:38Speaker 1: That's your person. Who's your person. And one thing you
- 55:41Speaker 1: did say that I do want you to... really shed
- 55:45Speaker 1: light on, too, for Black women watching as well. You
- 55:49Speaker 1: said that the man who you meet, now, granted, you
- 55:53Speaker 1: happen to be with the man who's rich, but the
- 55:55Speaker 1: fact that you said, no, he's richer because I'm his wife, right?
- 56:00Speaker 1: Talk to the girls at home who are watching. Do
- 56:04Speaker 1: you feel like as long as a woman or a
- 56:09Speaker 1: person has ambition... And this man works. I can turn
- 56:17Speaker 1: this man and build something with him together to be
- 56:20Speaker 1: a multimillionaire. How do you do that?
- 56:24Speaker 2: Absolutely, Carlos.
- 56:25Speaker 3: Because listen, one thing that cannot be taught is ambition.
- 56:30Speaker 3: You cannot teach someone to be ambitious. they either want
- 56:34Speaker 3: to get out or they don't. Whatever the out is,
- 56:38Speaker 3: they either want to do better or they don't, right?
- 56:42Speaker 3: So for me, dating, I always look for someone who
- 56:45Speaker 3: was ambitious. Whether you are the most ambitious garbage man
- 56:49Speaker 3: that we can come together and build a whole garbage
- 56:53Speaker 3: business where the city is calling us to pick up
- 56:55Speaker 3: all their fucking trash, or you are a financier who
- 57:01Speaker 3: maybe works for a corporation. But hey, how about we
- 57:05Speaker 3: start investing and how about we start, you know, doing
- 57:08Speaker 3: things where we end up owning the corporation. It doesn't
- 57:12Speaker 3: matter what the situation is. You need somebody who is ambitious.
- 57:17Speaker 3: And because for me, I'm naturally just a very ambitious person.
- 57:20Speaker 2: I mean, I can't, people used to be like, oh
- 57:24Speaker 2: my gosh, you only talk to men with money. No,
- 57:26Speaker 2: the fuck I don't. But I'll tell you one thing
- 57:28Speaker 2: for sure. People with money only talk to me.
- 57:31Speaker 3: I'll tell you that for fucking free.
- 57:32Speaker 1: Bitch, Lisa Milan?
- 57:34Speaker 2: For free.
- 57:35Speaker 1: Set up one more time for us again.
- 57:36Speaker 2: I don't even know what I said. But I'm talking
- 57:38Speaker 2: to you on some real shit.
- 57:40Speaker 1: No, the thing is this. People think you only talk
- 57:43Speaker 1: to men with money. But I bet you that men
- 57:49Speaker 1: with money only talk to me. Yeah. That's it.
- 57:53Speaker 3: Because I think I give off this kind of energy
- 57:56Speaker 3: where if you are not.
- 57:59Speaker 3: Heading in the right direction, that I will intimidate you.
- 58:03Speaker 3: So naturally, you would not even approach me.
- 58:07Speaker 2: Approach me. I've dated all sorts, Carlos. All sorts. But
- 58:12Speaker 2: one thing they all had in common was ambition. Ambition.
- 58:18Speaker 1: That's it.
- 58:20Speaker 2: Like, my roster, which for my sons is not that long.
- 58:26Speaker 3: But my little short roster is all successful, ambitious men
- 58:33Speaker 3: from all walks of life.
- 58:35Speaker 2: All walks of life.
- 58:36Speaker 3: From oil tycoons, businessmen, lawyers, regular Joe Schmo, drug dealers.
- 58:45Speaker 3: They all had ambition.
- 58:48Speaker 2: Clock it.
- 58:50Speaker 1: Okay, I'm here for you. Okay, I've always said this
- 58:54Speaker 1: publicly so my brain jobs know this. My ideal man Yeah.
- 58:58Speaker 1: I want the male version of Marjorie Harvey.
- 59:01Speaker 2: Yes.
- 59:02Speaker 1: Because you are baby Marjorie Harvey too. Marjorie will love you.
- 59:07Speaker 1: I met her.
- 59:09Speaker 2: I met her.
- 59:10Speaker 1: Orr.
- 59:11Speaker 2: Love her.
- 59:11Speaker 1: Former neighbors. You remind me a lot of your neighbors. Former.
- 59:15Speaker 1: I sold my house, yeah. You remind me a lot
- 59:17Speaker 1: of Keisha. That's my.
- 59:19Speaker 2: good friend gorgeous and she's jamaican.
- 59:21Speaker 1: Yeah that's my good friend yeah um and your mom
- 59:25Speaker 1: is savannah james you have so my brain jobs know
- 59:29Speaker 1: that carlos ideal man is they gotta have that and
- 59:32Speaker 1: the one thing those three women have and now i'm
- 59:34Speaker 1: gonna include you thank you i really want the gay
- 59:39Speaker 1: black male version of you no because the thing is
- 59:42Speaker 1: this I am blessed to have means. Yes. Right?
- 59:48Speaker 3: Yes.
- 59:49Speaker 1: And what is so fascinating about what you said that
- 59:51Speaker 1: I will confirm, the type of guys that I talk to,
- 59:57Speaker 1: I know that they're the type of men that I
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: can bring to my world and they won't get starstruck. Yes.
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: And I know that they're the type of men I
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: can bring to my world. And they can add value.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: You took the words out of my mouth, they can
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: add value to it. And that's my thing. And I
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: know what it's like. I dated the lawyers, the this
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: and the that. And the issue is those didn't work out.
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: Yeah. I dumped a lawyer before.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: Because he was okay not making partner. Like, how are
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: you okay not making partner?
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: Actually, how are you okay not starting your own firm?
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: It just didn't make sense.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: No, I'm with you. You know? I get it because
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: I have ambition. Yeah. And I know because people love
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: to say this. Well, do you think guys are using you?
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: First of all, I know when a guy wants me
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: for something else. Yeah. But I always tell my friends this. Listen,
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: I'm not bad to look at. Right? No. And we
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: got to.
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: Get into it because Carlos, how you lost so much weight?
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm just saying.
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: I mean, is it a GLB?
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: No! I work out a vegan. It's a plant-based body. No.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: You look good. Thank you, baby doll. I love you
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: so much. The thing is, I know that my ambition
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: attracts men who are like you.
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: Yeah. And today is the first time in my adult
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: life that someone explained it so eloquently. And I'm leaving
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: this interview changed. Oh. Because, no, I am. I'm telling
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: you right now, I am. And the reason why I'm
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: saying to you, you don't have to be a black woman,
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: white woman or whatever. I'm a gay black man.
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: But I'm leaving this interview changed because I now understand
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: what I attract.
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: And what the goal is to bring somebody into my
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: space to take what I have built. Yes. And said, babe,
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: we're going to figure this shit out. Yeah. And I
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: thank you for that. Oh, thank you, Carla.
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: I thank you for that.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: That's so kind. And I hope you know I mean it.
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: Oh, thank you.
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: I really do. I mean it.
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: We have to get to Real Housewives of Dubai.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: We were very sad when the show was put on pause. Mm-hmm.
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about that? Because when it was
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: announced that our girl from College Hill was back on
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: reality television, we were happy. Why do you think Dubai
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: just did not work?
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: I think Dubai worked. I don't think Dubai did not work.
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: I thought Dubai was a great show. I thought Dubai
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: delivered what they wanted. I just think it was the
- 1:02:55Speaker 3: wrong timing. I think Dubai is on pause not because
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: Dubai wasn't good. I think Dubai is on pause because
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: of everything happening behind the scenes, which is more logistics,
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: more than it is cast related, more than it is
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: the success of the show. The ratings weren't crazy high,
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: but none of the shows that came after us were good.
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: Because most people are watching things on their phones. Times
- 1:03:23Speaker 3: have changed. The numbers have changed. I think we delivered.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: A great show. Was it different?
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: But it had to be different because we're in a
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: different part of the world.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:03:35Speaker 3: We had an Emirati girl on the show who, you know,
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: we had to tiptoe around. for most of the season.
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: We had government officials that we needed to answer to.
- 1:03:48Speaker 3: So you were never going to get that rah, rah, rah.
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: But I think that's also what made Dubai special. You know,
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: because you'll get the rah, but without.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: That rah, rah, rah.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: You know, and I think that worked. I just think
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: the timing was wrong. I think the war in Gaza happened.
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: I think the war that's currently happened happened. I think
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: all of those things.
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: Which would have never... The show would have never come
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: back if y'all were in season right now based on
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: what's happening. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: So I feel like it's just a timing issue when
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: it came to Dubai. Will they ever come back? I
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: don't think so. I don't know how they would. I
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: don't know, you know, because of the logistics, not because
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: of the cast. I think we had a strong cast.
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: I think Talene was good. Caroline Stanbury was good. Who
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: else was on the show?
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: Me. I think Chanel was good.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: You know, I think overall.
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: Are y'all good?
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: We're not good, but she doesn't... I don't mind and
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: she doesn't matter.
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: Does that make sense? Like, I don't mind and she
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: doesn't matter at all.
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: But do you miss the friendship? Because you guys were
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: very close at one point.
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: You know what, Carlos?
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: I'm one of these people where I can move on
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: from things. I genuinely can. I'm actually very easygoing when
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: it comes to moving on from things. But once you
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: show me who you are, I take you at face value.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: I believe you. And she showed me who she was.
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: So could we get along? Absolutely. But would it be
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: the same season one dynamic?
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: No.
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: Because I'm not a fake bitch. And I'm not going
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: to just kiss ass for a TV show. Like, she
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: hurt me. And that was real. Everything on our show
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: was real. There was no script. And so I think
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: because of that, I think things change. But I think
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: it would be actually exciting and fun to see the
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: new changes and the new dynamics. Like, I'm very good
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: friends with Caroline Brooks, who people tried for so many
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: years to keep me away from, you know?
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: And I think.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: I like her, by the way.
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: She's actually batshit crazy, but she is a good, genuine person. Like,
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: what you see with her is what you get. You know,
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: sometimes misunderstood, but sometimes very fucking accurate. That's who she is.
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: And I like people like that. I like people who
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: show me who you are and I'll believe you. You know,
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: don't pretend to be my friend and then be something
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: completely different.
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: I don't like that.
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: Like, just be an asshole as an asshole. Like, don't
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: pretend to be something else. So I think if the
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: show were to come back, which I highly doubt it will,
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: I think The dynamics would change. The friendships would change.
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: But I think the show in itself would still be successful.
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: What do you have to say to the viewers who
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: did feel like you were at fault for the destruction
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: of your friendship with Chanel?
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: People think that?
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: Well, you know, there are people who believe that you.
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: I don't know anybody, Carlos, that believes that.
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: Well....
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: Or is my algorithm only giving me... Yes, it is.
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: You want me to read it?
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: Because I don't think anybody in the world thinks that.
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: You want me to read it, babe? Yes. So, listen, listen, listen.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: Let me just read to you a few things. Oh,
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: this is news to me. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: Because the thing is this.
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: Okay. We all know what happened with the voice note.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: Yes, which was completely false.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: So they were saying to mix up because the wording
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: was slightly vague. Lisa originally forwarded the note to Chanel. Yes,
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: as my best friend. To have clarified who Sarah was
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: talking about. Yes. Then it was revealed that when Chanel
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: secretly played the note for Caroline Stanbury, the ladies initially
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: believed Sarah was trash talking her longtime friend Caroline Brooks.
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: This is where they're saying Chanel did mess up.
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: But people, the thing is this, it's all about, they're
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: trying to shift blame because, you know, they're saying that
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: you knew the topic was going to come up at
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: the dinner. I didn't. And they're saying, Lisa, you were
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: acting like a victim for the cameras.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: I wasn't. I wasn't. The show is long gone. I
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: can tell you, Carlos. I wasn't. I was literally blindsided.
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: And to be honest, I feel like we talk every
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: day if she would have just been like, girl, FYI,
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: I did this because I had no storyline besides the
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: launch of my thing and I needed something. I would have,
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: I actually would have rocked with it. And I would
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: have actually blown this shit up. I would have made
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: it even more interesting. But don't take me off guard
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: because then I'm looking at you sideways like, Wait, I
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: tell you everything, but you don't tell me everything. When
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: I leave a scene, she's the first person I'm on
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: the phone with, you know, whether.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: It's good or bad.
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: So I felt like I was blindsided because I had
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: no idea this voice note was played for anybody else
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: besides her.
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: So that's the fact.
- 1:08:57Speaker 3: Two years ago, and and that's it you know so
- 1:09:00Speaker 3: I wasn't the thing is with me I feel like
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: if it wasn't somebody that I cared about it wouldn't
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: have mattered but because she was genuinely someone that I
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: cared about I think that's why it was a little bit.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: Uneasy yeah to say the least.
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: Yeah do you miss her no You don't.
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: I don't. And maybe it's a defense mechanism.
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: I don't know what the psychologists would sum this up as.
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: But the minute I feel like someone betrays my trust,
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: because to me, trust is everything.
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: It is.
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: And if I can't trust you, I can't be in
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: a relationship with you, whether it's platonic, whether it's romantic,
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: whether it's anything. Like trust to me is the foundation
- 1:09:44Speaker 3: of any relationship. If you break my trust, that's it.
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: I don't hate her. I don't nothing her. Like, I
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: actually wish her the best. I have nothing bad to
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: say about her. What she did was fucked up.
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: But don't go around, you know, making me the problem
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: because then you're looking delusional. Like, now you're looking like, like,
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: what are you doing? You know, just take ownership and
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: move on. And I feel like if she would have
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: just owned it rather than deflecting and creating different stories.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: And then I think too, when you tell one lie,
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: then you have to tell so many lies to cover
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: that lie. It just makes the wound even deeper. So
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: I wish her the best. I have nothing bad to
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: say about her. When we were friends, it was amazing.
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: We had the best time. But this whole narrative, like
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: I was, I am bossy.
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: I am bossy. This is facts. I can't help. I
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: am a very bossy person.
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: But she is like, 12, 15 years older than me.
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: So to think that I'm manipulating her, I looked at
- 1:10:44Speaker 3: her as a big sister.
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: Do I come off as bossy sometimes?
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: Maybe more than normal, but I've been told I was
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: bossy since I was three. You know, it's just my
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: nature and I don't do it out of bossiness.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: I do it out of love. if that makes sense.
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: No, no, no.
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: I never wanted her to look bad.
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: I never wanted, you know, I never wanted, like the
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: scene that they keep playing back, Bravo keeps playing back
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: with me at the dinner table, you know, saying, no,
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: she has to apologize. When I was with her books,
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: talking about Stanbury having, they keep playing that back, but
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: it's because I was so protective of Ayan that I
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: felt like, no, Ayan doesn't owe this one an apology.
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: That one owes her an apology, but they keep running
- 1:11:27Speaker 3: with that one narrative. You know, I am a bossy bitch.
- 1:11:30Speaker 3: I can't help it. But I mean well. And I
- 1:11:33Speaker 3: come from a really, really good place. If I love you,
- 1:11:36Speaker 3: I love you 150%. Which is why if I have
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: to walk away, I walk away guilt-free. Because I know
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: I've given that situation or that relationship my all.
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: You know, and I did. I gave that friendship everything.
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: I loved her. And so, yeah, I.
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: I nothing her now, but it's not good or bad.
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: I just nothing.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: You know, I don't get angry when I hear her
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: name or see her pop up on my feed.
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: I feel nothing.
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: Yeah. Listen, that's honest. Yeah. And I think that's all
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: you can be. Yeah. So what's next for you? You know,
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: you are a designer. Yes. So what's going on with
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: all of those things in the fashion world?
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: So Mina Rowe just got sold. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: My baby, my girl that I didn't have.
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: So Mina Rose just got sold. So we're going through
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: the transition process now. I'm very, very proud of that,
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: especially because with what's happening in the region and things
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: taking a downfall, it was the perfect time to exit.
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: So I'm very, very happy. And I launched my On
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: Stitch series, which is on social media for now, but
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: we're going to Toy with what comes next, which is
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: fashion and business, right? So we're just talking about all
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: the things I've learned over the last, what, 15 to
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: 18 years in the fashion industry and just giving out nuggets, really.
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: We'll see where that takes me. And that's really it.
- 1:13:05Speaker 3: Being a mom, a boy mom, my kids are into it.
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: Do you want to go?
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: I don't anymore.
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: You're good.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm actually good. But if you do see me pregnant,
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: it's by accident.
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: It's not an accident. It's a blessing. It's by blessing.
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: It wouldn't be planned. It wouldn't be planned. Yeah, but
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: I'm good.
- 1:13:23Speaker 3: I'm in the gym working out. Body's coming back.
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: You look fine. Thank you. I'm just out here milfing it,

- 1:13:58Speaker 2: It does.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: And what's happening in Dubai, you know, is happening right now.

- 1:14:17Speaker 1: back home. Mm-hmm. for something big I feel it in.
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: My spirit okay from your lips to God's.
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: Ears yes I don't think you just hear only because

- 1:15:50Speaker 2: Oh, housewife baddies. Oh, this is a really good one.
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: Okay. So.
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: I will not include myself in this top five.
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: Yes, yes, no, no. You have the crown, sister.
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: Yeah. But I will not include myself. I would say Portia.
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: Portia.
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: Portia's a baddie.
- 1:16:09Speaker 3: Who else do I think is, like, really hot? Do
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: I stop at Porsche?
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: That's so bad.
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: Listen, they got a whole bunch of- It's your list.
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: It's your list. Yeah, they have a.
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: Whole bunch of like really gorgeous, beautiful, successful women, all
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: the things. But I feel like as far as baddies.
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: I want baddies only.
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: I don't know if you can put baddies and housewives
- 1:16:39Speaker 3: in the same list because I don't know.
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: Okay. Porsche. Porsche is a baddie. So, in terms of housewives,
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: only Porsche. Are there any other reality girlies that's not
- 1:16:50Speaker 1: housewives that you would add on the list of Porsche? Yeah.
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: I mean, I think Kim Kardashian is a baddie.
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: Yeah. Yes.
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: I think... Damn. That's it.
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: That's it.
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: This is a bad list.
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: I tried.
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: So Batty, Housewife, Portia. Batty, reality star, Kim K. Batty, WNBA,
- 1:17:16Speaker 3: Angel Reese. Batty, rap girl, it would have been Nicki Buck.
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: It's not anymore. So I would have to give it
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: to Megan Thee Stallion.
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: Don't do my sis, Nicki.
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: I love Nicki. No one.
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: I love Megan too, but Nicki's my queen.
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: Can I tell you, even my kids are like, mommy,
- 1:17:38Speaker 3: you love Nicki Minaj, you know, but you know, Nicki's
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: on time out.
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: So I would give it to Megan. Love Megan.
- 1:17:46Speaker 3: Actually, I partied with her in Chicago for her Halloween thing.
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: And she was like, hey, twin. Because people used to
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: say we look alike on social media.
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: I can see that.
- 1:17:55Speaker 2: On social media. But she is like.
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: Oh, she's a stallion. So tall. She's a stallion.
- 1:17:59Speaker 2: And I was literally at her knees.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: She's gorgeous.
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: It didn't match up. But gorgeous. So yeah, baddie hip
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: hop girl would be Megan.
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: Okay. One more left. It could be singer, actress. Influencer.
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: Corporate baddie. Anything.
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: I don't know. Beyonce. Beyonce. Beyonce, she's a queen. The end. Yeah.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: That's a safe, that was my safe answer.
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: I get you. All right. That was my safe answer,
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: but I feel so bad for the housewives because I
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: genuinely cannot think of a lot of baddies. No, Portia's
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: a baddie.
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: Portia's a baddie. You know, she like, she has all
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: the things.
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: Have y'all met? I have.
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: I've met her many times.
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: I was going to say, y'all get along.
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: We do. I like her. I like her a lot.
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: I was going to say, if y'all, didn't, I would
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: be like, no.
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: I met her when she came to Dubai. Gorgeous girl.
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: Yeah. All right.
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: I like her.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: Raindrops, Lisa Malaha. Give it up.
