• 2:19
  Speaker 2: any prisoners. What has it about like watching this season
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: unfold in addition to like the commentary surrounding it, do.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: You want to answer first?
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like a lot of people can
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: say the same that do, like the whole reality TV thing,
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Like when you watch the season back, you're obviously watching
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: this like seven, eight, nine months ago, so you're like, damn,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: I said that, or ooh, like obviously there's things you
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: wish you could have changed, but that's just the way
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: the life goes and that's the way the cookie crumbles.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: So I don't know, I like to say that, like
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: I like to live my life with no no regret,
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: And it's like, maybe you have to react that way
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: or get over that hump in a certain way to
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: get to where I am now.
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: I feel like it's all about.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Growth, yes, yes, And we're watching our mistakes and we're
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: living through them at the same time as like you guys,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: and so we're going to learn from those mistakes and
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: take everything into account and just look at everything like
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: we're watching it for the first time too, and so
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: it's all a learning experience, and you know, we hope
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to learn from those mistakes and we hope to learn
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: from our good moments too and use that for following years.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Well, look, the thing is this The beauty of reality
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: television and I've been producing it for almost twenty years,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: is the fact that you get to see yourself on TV.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Because sometimes you're like, oh, I look like this, I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: sound like this.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah up, and it's sort of cringe. And then on top.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Of that, you have to deal with the fans and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: their commentary, on top of anything that you may be
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: insecure about just being on television.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: So listen, I think you are doing.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: A great job and I love that you two are
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: obviously figuring things out, but that's all you can do.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: We're all along humans, and.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: We're the youngest on the show, so it's like, give
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: us some grease. Everybody else is thirty and we're living.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Life for the first time. Everybody is living life for
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: the first time. So we're just trying to take it
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: day by day and just hold on to this experience
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: as much as we can, because while we're young, we
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: should be doing stuff like this, you know.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So let's hit Michaels. You came in hot during
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the season with Molly. Okay, so as we're talking about reflection,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: do you feel like things escalated to quickly considering the
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: fact that you know, you look you.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Did thread a band heart also your thoughts.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, watching it back, I wish Lake
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: wouldn't have, you know, lit the match that caused the fire.
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I may or may not have exaggerated a little bit.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I exaggerated a little bit, but.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: She deserved it. You think she deserved it because she
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: was being a bitch.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, she wasn't being nice. She was she was
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: talking down to me. She said, I acted like a kindergartener.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: She was treating me with disrespect. I wish that situation
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: would have been handled outside of work, because one we
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: shouldn't have been having that conversation at work, which she
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: was kind of pushing for.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: I was like, I'm at work.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: I'm at work, and so my response was a lot
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: more monotone than I wish it would have been.
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: She was pushing, she was pushing the baron she got yea, Yeah, she.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Was pushing and pushing, pushing, and you know, I went
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: to my big brother Michael's. I may have exaggerated, but shoot,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I don't regret him defending hating me.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: Defending me.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that you're like, I may have
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: exaggerated a little bit, but at the end of the day,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: it is what it is. So the thing with you, Michael's,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the fans have been trying to figure out, like, Okay,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: where does this tension you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Have when the Mally come from?
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Because for them, outside of you know, Lake adding some
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: hot sauce to it, where does this titsion come from between.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: You and Mally?
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I feel like there's definitely a few
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: different avenues.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: The first one is definitely having to do with work,
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: like her firing. She liked to say that it was
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: all of my fault, or you know, I'm the reason
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: behind her firing, or that I, like, you know, came
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: in with the AMO, but that was obviously not the case,
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: and you'll see it play out towards the end of
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: the season, and when we get to the reunion, you'll see.
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: All the truth come out. But I would say I
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: think that being a part of it was very hurtful
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: for me, just because being my age, only twenty three
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: years old, and working in the nightline industry since I
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: was eighteen, and like just working my way up to
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: a management role, like I already had this position for
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: over a year and a half and like even over
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: here by the time we even started doing the show period.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: So just for my management style or for that character
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: to even be questioned kind of stung. So immediately I
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: was like, yeah, you're gonna get it when I see you,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Like that was immediately where my mind went. But I
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: also knew time and place up until that night, so
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: I think that had a lot.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: To do with it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: I think my relationship ending, like she was obviously really
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: good friends with my ex, and I feel like when
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: you go through this kind of experience and you're friends
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: with somebody, your initial thought is like, oh, like, if
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: my relationship ends, my.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: Friend's gonna ride for me.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: They're gonna be there for you.
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but I mean that obviously wasn't the case.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: So I mean her firing then the relationship ending, I
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: was just like, you know what, those two going hands
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: so out the door.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I don't care as you break up your ex. Did
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: you really cheat on Preston? No?
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: Okay, So if I did, I would have.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: I would have said yeah on the show, Like my
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: thing is I don't have anything to hide, and I've
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: said since a one like I'm gonna live my life
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: and like share my truth and.
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: Be unapologizically me.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Like if I if I sat there and just lied
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: about it, the truth is gonna come out eventually, So
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: why am I gonna lie about it?
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: And you would have broken up with him?
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that if anything like, I definitely would
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: have broken up with him before I even had the
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: idea of doing something like that. It's just not my nature,
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: it's not my character. I feel like growing up, I
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: already had like a really hard time like with relationships alone.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: So I feel like the.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Friendship breakup already have hurt me a lot with Molly,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: so I think going into the relationship being another factor
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: in that, aside from the job thing and her talking
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: you know shit about me around town.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: Sorry, are we lot of hers?
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: The key I don't know.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: You go sometimes you gotta be careful.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: I just think that those three things were just kind
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: of like, Okay, we're either going to get to a
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: place where it gets worse and they're not coming back
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: from this, or it's going to get better and we're
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: going to.
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: Be cool and like we can keep it corch and
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: keep it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Cute when it comes to you being ugly gay. I mean,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: first of all, congratulations on the Glad Media Award.
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: Thank you that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: You know the community rallied around you when you're coming out.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Story came about. Do you feel like this sense of responsibility.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Now that you know you're openly gay on.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Television to represent the community or do you feel like,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: you know, listen, you're a young man figuring things out,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: you living your life out and proud on television. Are
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: you more focus on making sure you represent yourself?
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: I think more so representing myself only because I feel
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: like that has a lot to do with the sense
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: of community. I feel like just growing up alone and
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: sharing my story and having the cameras around to capture
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: all these moments, I feel like it's very helpful for
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: someone that's maybe in my same shoes, so like in
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: my mind, instead of worrying about what the world thinks,
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: or like what the community thinks, or how I'm representing
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: the gay community, and more so thinking about myself and
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: how I'm how I'm more so helping other people as
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: time goes on, and how my story can benefit them
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: and help them. And I think that's just the best
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: way I could really go about it, instead of sitting
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: there and being like, oh my god, like the gay
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: community is going to disown me if I do this.
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: On TV or if I do that, like just be yourself.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Like we all have moments, and I feel like
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: the beauty of doing this show is being transparent, going
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: through this journey and having the cameras capture it and
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: it play out and then you know, to feedback at
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: the end of the day.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: And people love the awesome inticity rather than a fakeness
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: or somebody that is trying to be perceived as something
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: that for sure.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So Lake, Look, you know there's a
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: lot of Charleston gossip. So when it comes to the
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: stories that we're seeing, would you say some of it
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: is exaggerated because you know, look on the show, there's
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: tons of talks about you know, like the back alley blowjobs,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and you know, people are saying Maddie has been completely
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: gaslight or gaslighting.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: So what is truth or fiction.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: When it comes to some of that Charalston gossip that
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: happens on the show.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: I think it's like fifty to fifty.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of it is true and a
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: lot of it is fabricated. You know. It really just
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: depends on who you're talking to and what you're talking about,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: you know, in regards to me, I mean lately I
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: feel like a lot of the stuff has been fabricated.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: But when I come to exactly in your opinion, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: mean like.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: In the most recent episode, the O'Shane threesome, I never
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: had a threesome with him, and I never you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I never had a threesome with him on Joe's birthday,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: And the only person I went home with that night
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: was the girl that I came to the party with
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: and so that was like a whole fabricated lie that
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: kind of turned into like, oh, he has a girlfriend
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: and Linke's this homewrecord, when that was never the case.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: When we did have relations, it was years ago and
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: he didn't have a girlfriend at the time, so it
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: was you know, that was a fabrication. And then there's
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: these fabrications of me being complacent in some of Emmy's actions.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: I was never complacent in it. I never would condone
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: or condone anything of the life of what she.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: Said regarding brad Or.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: I would never and so and so there's those fabrications.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Some stuff that has like truth to it is that
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I'm a very forgiving person and I give grace to
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: those who make mistakes. And so I do give grace
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: to those because I think we've talked about this conversation
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: of trust. When I give somebody my trust, I am
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: a very loyal person, and so I give certain people
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: my trust and my efforts and friendship. And when that happens,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: I'm going to be there for them, and I'm going
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: to try and educate them on their wrongdoings.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: And I'm not going to.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to look at them like an evil
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: person when they make a mistake, I'm gonna be like, Okay,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: let's fix this mistake.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: But I'm not like complacent either. I don't know, it's all.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: It's all.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: I can be a little too nice sometimes.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Well look, you know that's why you have Michael's for you,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: because you know I'm no nice girl.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: No, no, he's the devil on your shoulder.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: He's like, no, like you need to do this and
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: this and this and this and this.
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: And then when she doesn't do it, and then she
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: goes back, she's like, who, You're right.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: And I'm like, I know, yeah, but you know, we
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: live and we learn. We live and we learn.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about Willem Emmy, okay, because yeah, Lake,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you were close with Emmy. So from your perspective, do
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: you think that in Mey and Will were actually in
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: love or are we watching like a toxic cycle playout
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: for television?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Obviously, answer that too, well.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Will is not on the show, no longer on the show.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: And so when I look at their relate reationship and
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: after like spending time with him, I don't think that
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: he cheated on her. And I think that they're getting married,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: and well, I know that they're getting married, and so
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: let them get married and let them be happy together
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: and stop pushing like the cheating rumor stuff when there
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: is no tangible evidence to that. And so that's my
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: peace of mind when it comes to like, well, he's
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: not on the show anymore, so it's like I can't
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: comment on his actions if he's not a part of
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: the cast or the friend group anymore.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: He's his connection is with Emmy.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: Let's get back into the show.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Whenever anybody brings it up on more so, like, well
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: are we still talking about this, Like.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're getting married, Like they're.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: Getting married already, Like I don't care.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he's not on the show. They're getting married.
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: Let them do their thing.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Y'all are a little too worried about people's relationships. You
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: need to be worried about your job security.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: Worry about your job, because how y'all don't have one.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: So I meant put a name on it. Michaels.
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: Ask me the question you ask.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: Just know we have our job.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Who's not doing their job?
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: You'll find out? Should I say no?
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: When she's trying to be messy michaels I asked him, I.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Seem no, okay, all right, you don't want to say it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: Oh well you see where the split is.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: All right, that's all fair. Let's get to Justin.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: Okay, that's favorite person.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Why you sip a Chick fil a cup? Child? Is
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: that lemonade? Honey? Or is a spike? Okay?
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: Not on camera? Not only come on, okay, not the allegation. Sorry, So.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Justin, why is that your favorite person? According to Michael, he's.
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: My least favorite person.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Well, he should talk about.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: That, because you know, you've been accused of leading the
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: charge of throwing salt in his game this season. I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: do this love triangle between Jordan and me, you know
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: all that stuff.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Him Him and Jordan were in a full on, basically relationship.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: They lived together, She had the toothbrush at his house.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: They were talking about certain things. Jordan met his mom.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: You'll see more details at the reunion because I bring
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: my receipts, and so it's just kind of like he
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: was leading her on and downplaying the relationship to the
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: public eye.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: And there's messages that show like we'll.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Come out soon, and like be together openly and like
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: all this stuff and like doing this thing with Jordan's head,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: and it wasn't okay. In regards to Mi, I wasn't
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: only mad at her base off of the Jordan situation,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: but Jordan was a factor into that because Jordan is
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: one of my close friends and so obviously I'm going
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: to be there to defend her when she doesn't have
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: a voice to defend herself. She doesn't get the confessionals,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: she doesn't get the screen time that we get to
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: voice our opinions.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: And Jordan and Mia were.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Friends, and she wants to say that they weren't friends
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: when they hung out multiple times. Jordan was roommates with Molly,
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: and Molly and Mia are super close. They would see
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: each other all the time. We went on a trip
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: to Vegas all together where Jordan and Justin met and
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: they were clearly like coupled up love islands the whole
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: entire trip.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: Mia saw all of that. It was it was insane.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: They were like they were like boyfriend girls my first
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: day on the trip, like I saw it and everybody
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: else saw it, and so Mia knew that, and that's
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: what frustrated me. And then there was other things that
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: happened between me and Mia besides the Jordan stuff that
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: really irked me, and you guys will find out more
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: at the reunion. But just like you know, coming into
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: this group, I looked up to Mia because she's a
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: strong woman and she knows how to hold her ground.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: She's beautiful, she's intelligent, and I looked up to her.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: But when you act like a mean girl towards me,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: it makes that once once admiration just go to the
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: trash can, because like she's making little comments about my maturity,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: making little comments about my emotional stake, making comments about
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: how I act, and it's it's like not out of endearment,
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: like we make comments towards each other out of endearment,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Like sometimes I'm like, oh, you know, I'll say something
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: to you out of endearment, out of love.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: No, this was a straight strait of bullying.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: And so when she's making those comments, I get, you know,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: this built up of it, and then I lash out.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Maybe I should have lashed out in a different way
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: or in a different scene, not just's birthday, but it
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: was built up and there was more to that story.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Than just me defending my friend Jordan.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: It was me defending myself as well, and I don't
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: regret that at all.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: The other Ringion's crazy.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I can't wait.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: We both come with receipts okay and timelines.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Seevs at Walgreens at your service, cash register full of receipts.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Another thing that was crazy that we have to get
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: into is the Polly Best Trip, obviously because that was
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: the first time where we saw y'all friendship being tested.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: How were you two able to work?
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, you're talking about as I think the thing is,
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: you know, going into this experience together. Lake and I
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: kind of sort of formed a friendship before because we
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: kind of made a pact that we were like listen,
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: like we're in this together. We're in this together, like,
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: let's live it up, let's have a great time. These
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: are memories we're going to look back on years from now.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: From the first day that we met, we were inseparable.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Like the first thing we met, we literally stayed
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: up till like I was working at for Public.
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: She wasn't working there yet. She met me and she
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: was like you're so beautiful, and I was like like
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: swatting her away, like she was not like.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: I was, like I was you're so beautiful, and I
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: like lingered around and I was like, can we hang
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: out after your shift?
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: And we like we went to an after party and
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: we stayed up till six am. We waited till Duncan
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Donuts opened, and like we were just like kieking and
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: having a field day. And I was like, do you
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: like Doja cap? And she was like and we started
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: listening to Doja cat like. And I think the thing
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: is like we formed a friendship way before the cameras,
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: so whateverything was coming out and started to play out,
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: it was very genuine and authentic. And I think the
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: thing is a lot of the audience they're on, they're
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: seeing three months of our lives, so you're not capturing
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: the other months where there are no cameras. And I
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: think that that's what's very difficult. Like our relationship is
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: very sibling like giving brother sister relationship and together.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, like the just the way that we fight is
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: like you and your siblings.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: And I feel like when people watch it back, it's like,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: why is Michael getting mad at her and giving her
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: the cold tolder.
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: It's like that's how I am with my siblings. Like
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: my siblings and I were always.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Like that growing up, Like I know you remember growing
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: up with your siblings and you would just beat each
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: other up for.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: You can fight for a whole day and then once
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: you forgive each other you go straight to like normally,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: it was so like quick turnover. We fought for it
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: a day and then at the end, I was like,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: oh I miss this. We hug each other and then
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: it's over and then we don't talk about it again.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: Because that's just how it is.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: And you know, I tell you everything, you tell me everything,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: and it was all basically over a misunderstanding and that
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: also later gets revealed. But you know, we love each other,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: we find like siblings.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: It is what it is.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, And I love that for the two of you.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: One of the things that the audience felt was happening
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: was the microaggression issues with Emmy. We was talking about
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: being scared of Brad and alleging that he stalked her
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: after the reunion. So when it comes to Brad, do
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: the two you feel like he was being described by
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Emmy accurately or do you feel like she crossed the line?
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: Shesed cross the line. I think my biggest thing is too.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Like I always tell her, I'm like, I'm never going
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: to be that friend that doesn't hold you accountab work
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: tells you when I think you're wrong, because I'm just
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: I'm not that friend that's just going to bend over
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: up backwards and like get fucked in the ass because
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: you want to say whatever you want and I'm gonna
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: ride for that.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: That's just not me.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: I've never been that way, and her and I had
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: I feel like before we even filmed this past season
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: was like a very close friendship and we were like
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: picking up the pieces from last year because I obviously
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: had issues with her from last year when we went
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: to Lake's lake House, and then I think just going
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: into this year, just the way that she spoke about Brady. Immediately,
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: I was like, you can't say things like that, like
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: drop it, let it go.
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: And then I think personally because you are also.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's like, I think we obviously cover it
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: more when the reunion comes, although I felt like there
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: still wasn't even a lot of time to really get
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: into it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: I think that.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Just being able to give people grace and the situation
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: is different because I especially with the way that I
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: handled it, I would say It's very different from the
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: situation with Lake or anybody else on the show that
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: I may have conflict with, because the last thing I
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: wanted was to sit there and get into some kind
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: of conflict with her or something similar to happen, and
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: then to be labeled as that too. And then it's like, girl,
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: we're trying to help you, like, don't say things like that,
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: like you like, come on, We're on a show, like
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: this is gonna come out and you're not gonna like
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: it when you see it.
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: So it's like it was. There were a lot of
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: growing pains. I feel like the way he was described
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: was not appropriate. We don't agree with it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: And I think that you will see later why, especially
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: at the reunion when it gets revealed why she was
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: so hyper fixated on it.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and she goes into this tangent of blind loyalty.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: She expects blind loyalty from us. But what I have
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: tried to explain to her multiple times that blind loyalty
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: is contradictory. How can you be loyal to something that
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: you're blind to, you know, something that you can't see.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: You know, you want to have loyal friends that are
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: going to tell you what you're doing wrong, like what
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: you're doing wrong? When you do something wrong, you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: you don't want to let friends sugarcoat it. That's not
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: that's not loyalty to me, my loyal friends like you,
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: you tell me when I'm doing something wrong.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: I think my biggest thing is too throughout the summer,
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: and you'll keep seeing it play out as the next
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: few episodes go on. It was extremely difficult to navigate.
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: The whole entire broad and Amy situation, especially being in
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: the middle and trying to explain as somebody that was
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: closer to.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Her, like hey, like you need to drop it, you
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: need to let it go, like you're not You're obviously
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: not going to listen to somebody you're not friends with,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: So who better to listen to than somebody you're friends with.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: We told her to let it go, so the.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: Whole entire summer, and I think the biggest issue with
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: it all was more so demanding blind loyalty when you
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: can't give that to somebody else.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and it just does makes sense. Blind loyalty is
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: a lie in itself.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Do you feel like like when you you know your
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: mother famous.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Last words was don't discuss black people's business.
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: With white people.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like that still stands and that's something
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: that you still have to like remind yourself of sometimes.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So what my mother was doing was what several.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Black mothers do with their black daughters, is reminding them
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: of the certain privileges we do and don't have, you know.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: And so my mother was doing a mother's work.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: She and I follow her advice and I listen to
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: her and I love her so much. We talked to
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: me all that every single day because my mom is
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: just she is that counseling woman that will tell you
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: straight up and give you that tough.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: Love that you need when you need it.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: And in that moment, you know, having that conversation, I
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: do deeply regret having that conversation with Ella for her
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: to then go and tell emmy of what that conversation contained.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: And so I regret that. I regret that I made
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: a mistake and I will own up to it. And
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: and it just like tumbled down into a whole discussion.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: And then I'm having this conversation with Brad, and I
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: think that we made a lot.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: Of headway in that conversation.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: I'm very proud of that conversation, and I think it
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: made a lot of growth for our friendship to develop
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: from there. But yeah, ultimately I have regrets this past season,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: but I'm learning, and everybody makes mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: But now my mom is straight up. She told me
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: straight up, and I love her for that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: I love her.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: My mom.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: She knows what's up. She knows what's up, and she'll
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: tell me straight up. And so I love.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: She does the Lord's work, does well like she does
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: the Lord's work. And you know, she she I needed
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: tough love there. She needed to remind me who I
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: am and what what like, she needed to remind you
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: who I am. And that reminder was very valuable, valuable
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: for me the rest of the season and the rest
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: of my life. You know, I'm going to be more
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: mindful about things that I do and say.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: You know, I do have a big mouth, but I'm
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: working on it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: We all do. We all do.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: And speaking of working on stuff, it's nice to see
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: you working on your anxiety and being open about that. So, like,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: have you been following different techniques in terms of handling that?
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: How is that going for you?
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: I mean it's a work in progress.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Right before this, I was a therapy, so so you know,
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: it's a work in progress.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: I have my different coping mechanisms.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: I think that there is a lot of anxiety built
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: up with you know, alcohol. This past summer, I was
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: drinking and I was smoking a lot of weed, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: so i went sober in September and I've been sober
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: off of everything since then, and I've just been.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: Kind of situation.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you. I'm trying to make it to
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: a year. I'm almost there, and so having this clear.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Mind, I'm like, this past weekend, but yeah, I just
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: got back from New York.
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: I was partying for like, but you.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Know, having this clear mind of being sober has helped
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: a lot, even if I'm only like, I'm only limiting
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: myself to a year of doing it because I wanted
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: to see how long I could do it, and so
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: I think a year is perfect and then I'll find
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: better moderation with that.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: Because I didn't have that moderation. I was just kind
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: of like, for me, up for me, up for me.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm so proud of you, even like I
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: said opening about that, because it affects so many people
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: that you know are quiet about it rightfully, So this
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: is a private thing. So again that's the beauty of
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: being a reality Television's helping those who may not be
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: so you know, courageous to speak about it publicly.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: So prop for you there.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: So of course, of course, of course I love that
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Michael's your career.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: We have to get into that.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Look, you are building up your repertoire and everything going on.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: You obviously have.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: This show that has really created you to be this
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: heart throb on television so much so you are building
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: your modeling career and on that. Do you feel like
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: you made it or you feel like you're still at
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: ground zero trying to like get there?
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: I definitely I don't. I wouldn't say ground zero. I
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: think that we're definitely baby steps. I feel like I'm
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: high the right meetings and the right conversations with the
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: right people. But I'm more so being picky about how
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: I go into the industry, just because it is a
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: female it is a female dominated industry. Just going to
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: modeling alone, and I think that the opportunities that do come,
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: I want this for longevity. I don't want it to
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: be some just kind of like, oh I modeled for
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: here and then I gave up and onto the next
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: It's something that I've been wanting to do for a
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: really long time. So I think my biggest thing is
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: just like being picky, being more mindful about who I'm
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: being with who can really help me get to the
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: next level.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Like, yeah, I got this like great cover.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Shoot, But I think that my biggest thing is not
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: only the cover shoot.
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: It's more so building a portfolio now and.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: Being reputable and just being able to eventually be in
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: a place where I can travel and go to Italy
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: or like if I ever wanted to walk in like
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: a fashion week or you know, something of the sorts,
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: I could make that happen and like make that come
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: to life.
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: So I wouldn't say ground zero.
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: I think it's also to one of those things like
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: when the show is just now airing, you kind of
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: have to kind of wait until a little bit after
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: when until the opportunities start to come up.
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: So it's all kind of a waiting game, just being patient.
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: It's what I'm learning.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we got to get into this dating app scandal.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Oh god, girl, did you ever figure out who bag
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: you from?
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: It?
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Like what happened.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: I was trying to do? It was like a brand
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: deal with Tenderer.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: It was like tender and Archer because you know they
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: they're owned by the same and so it's hinge and
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: so if you're banned from the one, your band from
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: all and so I couldn't. Yeah, I couldn't. I mean
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: I'm on Riyah. So it's not like I just use
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: my mind.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: It's paying for it a little bit.
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean he used to be.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: A little bit more niche, but not more mainstream.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Like sometimes I'll just be swiping and I'm like, oh,
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: they let you on here.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Like I do.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: When I was like single, I tried to get all
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: that motherfucker and I could not get through.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: You need a recommendation. You need a recommendation, girl, I
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: have three.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, that's crazy.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Family was one.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Oh wow period period the girl they will let me
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: on and I say about fuck that.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: So I did the most freeping in the world. I
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: just live in DMS.
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: It was great for me. Yeah, period.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: I think my biggest thing is too It honestly has
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: not done anything for me. I don't know why I'm
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: still paying for it. Because when I go out in
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: New York or I go out and any other city,
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: like I usually will meet people, and I'm like, oh,
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: in my head, I'm like I just saw you on
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: Rayah and like, why are you playing catfish out here?
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: I got on it at like eighteen, and like, I.
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: Haven't that's crazy.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: I was on it like right when I did. I
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: was on it in the prime. But I was also
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: like living in a different country at one point, and
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: so I wasn't really like paying much attention to it.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: And then I realized that I was paying like one
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: hundred something a month for it.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's crazy, And I think, is this, you
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: too are attracted people, so like you don't need to
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: be paying a month.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: But it's hard to date once you're in like the
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: TV world, because you don't know what people's intentions.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: Are and do you know you have to answer dams.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: Answer dms, answer dms.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Like with somebody's last redim do they have to have
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: a blue check?
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: No?
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: No?
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: But my thing for no check?
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: You don't want no check? No.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: I want them to have like fifty followers.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: Like somebody low key also too, I don't want to
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: end up dating somebody that's like oh yeah, like I
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: watched Bravo, like as much fun as that is, Like
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: I don't want you watching the show that I'm on
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: and then like sitting there thinking about, like, oh, do
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: you act the same in person.
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: That you do on TV?
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: Like I don't want you to date this person that
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: you only see me three months of the year. You
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. It's like they're so much more
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: to me. There's so much more depth to me. And
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: I feel like as much as social media thing is fun,
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: I feel it's all about the chase at the end
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: of the day, for being honest, like I'm going on
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: there to be a hollow and post shirtless pictures. I'm
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: not going on there to like meet my husband. So
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: let's be honest.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: We're not going to find those and tour in our
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: mid thirties.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: No, my, but you two are young and your twenties
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: have fun.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: Also, I think my biggest thing is too, like I
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: just did the relationship thing last year, Like I wanted
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: to make sure that I was single like this year,
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: and plus my agent was like, girl, you need to
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: be single.
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: Being single is.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Better for the brand anyway, Like better the I was
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: missing out on a lot of opportunities last year being
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: in a relationship, and I feel like it kind of
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: set me back a little bit. So now this year
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: I'm more so like trying to make up for it
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: in the best way. But yeah, I think that's my
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: mindset going.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: As job big older brother.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: My advice is, listen, you guys are hot, famous and young.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Enjoy it, you know what I mean?
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, have like travel and like meet people like because listen,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: you guys are experiencing something that not everybody gets a
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: chance to experience.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: And when you when you're older and settled.
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: Right, you want to look back and be like, baby,
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: that was a hot decade of like TV show and
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: like going to these parties and like making out the
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: middle of Times Square, you know what I mean?
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: Like, Oh lord, that was Michaels.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: You spent five days in New York City, Honey, so
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: behaved for five consecutive days.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: He said, behaved, not well behaved.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: You don't know how to behave at own period.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: I have fun so two bore things to get into.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: We got to let you guys go. I want to
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: get to Joe and Maddie.
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: Is that I'll come?
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: So do we think they're going to go the distance?
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: Yes? Funny enough, they're actually in La right now.
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: But you know, I think that Joe this time around,
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: the Joe that you're seeing is very interesting because I
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: feel like he's going through a very big transitional period
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: in his life, trying to figure out what it is
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: he wants to do. But at the same time, he
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: doesn't like the perception that he's like writing Mattie's coat tail,
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: because that's not.
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: Necessarily the case.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: I think right now, the Joe that he is and
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: that you'll see at the reunion has done, honestly so
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: much growth, and it'll be really nice to see. And
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: I think that Maddie's been like his biggest supporter and
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: like champion for him to go and do his own
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: thing and really figure out what his brand is and.
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: What he wants to do with his life.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: They compliment each other.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: They compliment each other, and they're almost like the opposite
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: to tract, but they also have to smilar characteristics.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: Like he's very golden retriever man, he's like black pot.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: But but they compliment each other and they're like mom
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: and dad.
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: I love them together.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: And then I want to get too grace Lily because
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: obviously you know she is sober and she's a part
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: of her life and even the last episode revealing that
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: she struggled with kadamine, which.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Obviously is like super sad.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Talk to me about like grade type of you guys
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: spoken to her since the reuinion, I.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: Think I think the thing is I was more so
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: shocked to watch how she went about it because knowing
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: Grace and working at Republic even before I was on
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: the show, I like, when you when your friend is
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: going through something you know, and when your friend is
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: struggling you know, and to just see that first hand,
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: especially in our work environment, but not really be able
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: to say anything because you didn't want to be that
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: person that's like push you. But girl, I can tell
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: you're struggling, like at work because you know, we got
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: be sober on the job. But it's like, how can
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: you say something without saying something in them getting offended?
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: So I think even navigating that and then her taking
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: herself out of the nice life space was I feel like,
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: in my opinion, the first step for her because she
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: realized like that environment is not.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: Good for her.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: And then I think that being able to come on
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: this year and just be even more transparent about it
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: and share her story and going and having those meetings
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: in those tough conversations about her substance abuse.
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: I think was just huge of her because I know
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: that something, yeah.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: Something like that is not easy, and you know, she
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: talks about it a lot more at the reunion, which
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: I'm hoping that you guys will see.
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: But yeah, we're really proud of Grace.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: I am proud of her, and you know, every time
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: I hang out with her, we always just have like
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: a debrief session, and she's she's doing really well. You know,
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: she's been focusing on herself and there's more good things
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: to come with God and Grace, and I hope I
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: can be there for her and Michaels can be there
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: for her and you can integrate herself back into the company.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's good. All right. So last we're going to
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: get into is puta Kana.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, the boat party?
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: So do we think Joe missed the mark for Maddie's birthday?
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: You're talking about her birthday party? The uh, the the
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: pirate theme? Yeah, I mean yeah, I.
• 41:29
  Speaker 7: Think I mean you grew up there, you know, so
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: like oh into Minican Republic. Wait are you talking about
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: Maddie's birthday or Dominican Republic? Sorry?
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: Maddie's birthday was in Charleston, and I'm both.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Let's first get to Maddie's birthday and then let's get
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: into Dominican Republic.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, perfect, Okay, Yeah he kind of missed it.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that day was so funny. She was like,
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: I don't want to be here. I hate all of
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: these people.
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: What is going on?
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: Well, it was right after Joe's birthday, and like, you know,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: Maddie likes to be like alone.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, she's a vampire. She likes to like be in
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: bad till four pm. So she's getting up early, and
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: it's during the day. It's a really big deal and
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: she has stuff to do. So I think her biggest
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: thing is she was like, I just wanted to go kayaking,
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: like and be alone.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, But overall, I think she was happy with
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: the thought that was put into it.
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's happy with the thought into it. But then again,
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: I don't think that that was her ideal birthday.
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: Pardon clearly. Yeah, like all trash on a boat and
• 42:37
  Speaker 7: she's the only sober one.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: Like okay, like, is there a small boat on the
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: side where I can like just jump off and like
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: go home and nobody will notice.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about put the connas on.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: How did they feel, you know, going back to you
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: know the r and stuff that it feels good.
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: I think going back when we first touched on it
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: didn't really necessarily feel a real but I think as
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: the trip went on and we were I think we
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: were there for four days. In the second day we
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: were there, we got to visit this church and my
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: grandma went to growing up, and you'll see it in
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: tonight's episode, but it was just like very nice and peaceful,
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: and it was very freeing in a way. Just to
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: be able to go and take some of us, like
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: some of the group, to kind of go and experience
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: that and really see like I felt like I was
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: walking in my grandma's footsteps in a way, and just
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: to be able to tell her about it after was
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: like very refreshing and nice, and I felt very connected
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: to her because I think that growing up religion was
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: something that was very forced in my family, and just
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: going to like a private Catholic school and then you know,
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: practicing and having a communion and a baptism and a
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: confirmation as I grew up, and just being being at
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: church like two three times a week was already a.
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: Lot the community.
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think that, you know, coming out and
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: feeling disconnected to that part of my life because of
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: where I was with my family, Yeah, and just being
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: able to get back to that in a way helped
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: me feel like I was making up for lost time.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: And what are things? How are things? Excuse me today?
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: With your mom?
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: Based on things are way better with my mom.
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: She's at home.
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: I was gonna go home for Mother's Day, but she
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: was like, I'm going to Puerto Rico with my friends.
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: And I was like, okay, Like when you get back
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: then like okay, girl, go go do your big one,
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: like I'll see it up for you.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Have fun.
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we talked.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: We definitely talk a lot more like almost every day
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: my step out of my mom. They both own like
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: a lot of businesses, so they're always working and like.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: The pizza shop.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like she just opened this pizza shop like a
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: while ago, and she I went down for like three
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: days around Chris Us and I went to go help
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: her at the pizza shop. But I had no idea
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: what I was doing, and I fell back because I
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: was kind of in the lettuce I was I was
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: making pizzas and the uber each was popping off. I
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: was pushing them pizzas out quick, and then messed up
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: one of the pizzas and I almost tweeting on me.
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: And I was like, oh my god.
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: But hopefully next year we'll be able to go and
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: shoot there and like it'll be funny.
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: To tiktoks in the pizza shop. He said, my.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: Mom's mommy, because I was making tiktoks in the pizza
• 45:27
