  Speaker 2: will text each other and ask do we think it's
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: at the level that Lalla has just sold us? Okay, okay,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that's our home.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It's effortless. It's effortless.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Pretty Balace is here, so he has to do the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: same job. So Alex, on Sunday we'll have a three
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: way text on housewife is a Potomac. No, we need
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to be more educated because we're on a podcast with Laala,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: who is dialed in. So Alex, yeah, what does the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Potomac refer to I'm.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Just curious Maryland.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what a secure location.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I cann't wait, it's the most random location.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Just said Washington, d C. How far is Potomac from Washington?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I believe relatively close. But then again, I'm really bad
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: at geography, so don't ask me it's really close.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Can we do one? Can we do one geography trivia
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: game where Alex asked you two basic geography questions. If
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you can get Alex is by far Alex is the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: smartest in this world? Okay, down, all on? Oh god,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Tim just gave us a question, gave a look like
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: he could be smarter than you. Tim, I blow you
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: away and I went to film school. Now let's go
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Alex Alex. Alex first asked Tim a question, a hard one,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and then asked Lala. Geography question has to be in
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the United States for Laala could be anywhere in the world.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: For Tim, let's see, because I suck at geography and
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I openly admit it. Okay, go ahead. Is north Dakota
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: east or west of Idaho?
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: That's east?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: All right, I don't know if.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, Next, go to Tim because Tim thinks he's a
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: frigging genius. So let's see on the Dakotas. What is
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the capital of South Dakota. I mean, Tim, wait, hold on, Tim,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you exactly prove my point. Geography is not the end
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: all be all of intelligence. One more category, Tim, pick
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: one more category.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I don't need to sit here and answer to.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: All of you.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I want to know what's amazing about it's amazing.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Just all of exactly prove my point.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Geography, math, sciences, whatever, it's just none of it is
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the end all be all you all. If I can
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: walk out the front door and keep myself alive, I'd
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: say I'm pretty fucking intelligent.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I want to say something.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I know I was not people who are very book
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: smart and like they don't des moin des Moines, Iowa.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: People listen. I just want to say something. Can I
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: say something? Laala to your point? You are right. Look
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I am. I consider myself pretty successful, and I was not.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I was an artist kid. I was not the greatest
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: student in school. My average is probably a C. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: don't encourage that, but they're all. There are also there
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and bees in theater. There are also people who are
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: book smart, like Bill Gates, who are billionaires.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, it goes and then you can
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: just pay people to keep you alive. So that's dope.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: That's what I would do.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: All right. I'm glad we played trivia on the podcast.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: We will be back again trivia on the podcast.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: No, I hate trivia on the podcast. We're not doing
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it again. No, this is stupid.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, can we do one more question for Tim? Because
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it's really fun to watch them?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: One more and then I'm ready to talk.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: To you about and you're really smart, So here you
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: go here, you're oh for one? Go ahead, Alex, there's
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: another geography one. Yeah, Let's do the spelling bee. Let's
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: do the spelling be one time for Tim. It's my favorite.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Tim fails at the spelling bee. I didn't participate in

  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Lala, Lala told me all this shit that's
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: already gone down.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So Jizzelle, I told that Potomac is the diamond of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the Housewives franchise right now, like y'all are killing it.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: She did say that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: She did say, Okay, but if you if you start
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: from season one. That's like so boring for where we
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: are now?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Basic, Yes, where should I start? Chazelle? Where should I start?
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Maybe start like yeah two and a half, like you know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: midway through season two?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, Tim, two and a half, we're starting Alex two
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and a half. Yes, that is our homework assignment for
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: this week and I can't wait.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: So yeah, tell tell us how the Real Housewives of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Potomac came to be, because let's be honest, it's a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: super random place.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: It's so random. Okay, So what I think happened. What
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I've kind of heard rumors are that, you know, obviously
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: they had the Real Housewives of DC that didn't work out,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: and years went by, and they wanted to come back
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: to this area but didn't know really how to do it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: So we were cast and we filmed an entire season
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: if you can imagine, Islalla and they we did not
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: know we were going to be housewives. So like, we
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: filmed for months and we had no way.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Do you think you were what did you think you
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: were doing? Just like trying to make a show work.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: You didn't know that you were going to be a
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: housewife like a part of the franchise.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Had no idea, maybe it'll be housewives, maybe it'll be
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Ladies of because there's like Ladies of London, right, But
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: you know, we were unsure. So apparently Andy saw you know,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: the cuts, and he loved.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: It and he was like, oh, these ladies are definitely housewives.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: They didn't tell us until literally, I don't know, five
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: minutes before they told the rest of the world that
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: we were going to be Housewives of And they couldn't
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: figure out the name to give us, meaning we're in Maryland.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Potomac is in Maryland. Okay, There's DC, which.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Of course they couldn't touch that because you know that
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: that didn't work out, right, There's Virginia, there's the DMV area.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: They didn't know what to call us, so they kind
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: of like, did I guess their their research and they
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: came up with Potomac, which is.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Where at the time the majority of the Ladies lived.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: And it is random, it's so random, and la la,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you it. This Potomac is ninety five
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: percent white, so oh my god, and so like we're
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: we're the black Ladies are the representation of Potomac.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: So you can imagine how well that one when we
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: first start.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Oh man, oh man, you must have you must be
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: running that city. You guys must be running that city.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Oh you'll see, you'll see how they are. They're running everybody.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Wait, let me ask questions. Do you live in Potanma, Potoma, Potomac?
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Do you live in Potomac still? Now?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: I actually live in Bethesda, which is like right next
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: to Potomac.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: It's like a mile away.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Oh and it's like.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: A little a little another little small town, but it's
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: like right literally, I live seven minutes from DC.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, So that was my question because I just asked
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Alex here, one of our producers. I said, I said,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: how far are they from DC? So you're ten minutes
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: max from d C. Yes, So when you go out,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: when you eat, when you go to bars, when they're open,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: and you hang out, you're going into d C.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Basically, I assume, oh one, I mean, and I was
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I was raised in DC proper.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, so this is making more sense, Like DC
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: is cool, cool city? You know, you got it?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: And they probably would have named this franchise that or
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: is this that our version did?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: That one didn't?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: It was was d C full of white women.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: They had one black girl, but yes, the rest were white,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: and so it was and they didn't from what I understand,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: they didn't know each other at all prior to the show,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: So it was kind of like they threw a bunch
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: of random women together.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: They didn't know each other, which was which never right
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: with us?
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Four of us out of the original six knew each
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: other for years prior to the show. Wow, so we
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: had the chemistry already baked in.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: That's the best when you get fighting in a bottle.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: When you can find a group of women who are like,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: have known each other forever on top of their strong personalities,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the best it really is.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I have to ask she just I just want to
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: hear how they how you How did somebody just approach
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: one person? Did somebody coming with an idea? Call producers?
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: How does it evolve into the show with you, with
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: all all of you women getting together on.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: The show, they were cast, all of them, and then
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: they didn't know if they were going to be housewives
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: or if it was going to be like Ladies of Potomac.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, they had no idea.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: They had no idea.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I'm just right, But the cat. They was
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: asking the trackage, so.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: They were going to sell keep going.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Giselle, the guy that casts the show, I actually have known.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: It's just coincidence. I've known him for like twenty years.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: So he calls me and he's like, Giselle, you're going
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: to do the show. And I'm like what, No, not, and.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: So he was like, yes, you are, and that's that.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: So he said, I've already talked to Scharise and Charisa
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: I knew, and Charisa knows everyone in Potomac everyone.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Wow, so she.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Was able to give the guy a whole lot of
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: different women. And then I said, well, if I'm doing it,
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Robin's doing it, and so I got Robin involved. And
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: then I knew Karen and I were in a children's
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: group together, so I was like, okay, Karen was already
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: on board.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: So then they filled in the rest. So it just
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: it just worked.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's very cool.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you that's it. You're gonna watch over your
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: new favorite show. So are you Are you and miss
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Karen doing well or is your friendship still rocky? Like
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: what is it like this season? Can you tease? I
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: know the drill, I know the Bravo drill, So without
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: filling it all, just give me a little little sippy.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: We ebb and flow as we this season, as we
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: normally do. However, I don't particularly like the way that
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: we ended the season, so I straight up have not
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: spoken to her since we stopped filming.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, that's juice. You're gonna see what I'm
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: telling you what I can't.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Wait to see. Wait, what was the fight about, like why.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: They fell out?
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, me and her, Yeah, it was it dealt with
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: respect and I felt like she disrespected me, and that's
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: what I don't tolerate.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like that either.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: By the way, that's when it all goes south.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I have friends that you know, will disrespect me, you
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: know that I've known for even a long time, and
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: that's the only thing that really just sets me off
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: because it's like I always am one of those givers,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Like I always want to help my friends and bring
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: them up and do what I can do, and the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: minute they just take advantage or disrespect, it's like it's
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: not worth it for me. That's the end, exactly. Yeah,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I feel exactly. I feel the.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Same, and especially when you're on a show together.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: So you know, she knows personal things that have been
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: off camera about me and me I know about her
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: that we'll never cross the line and kind of like
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: be disrespectful on camera with it. And I just felt
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: like there's a level of respect for our friendship that
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: she disregarded and I didn't.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: I don't like that.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you feel like she went into a territory
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that was supposed to be left off camera? Is that
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: what you're saying.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: No, she didn't do that, But she didn't. She didn't.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: She just didn't ride for me like I I have
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: written for her.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can understand that. So I have a question
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: when you started this show, what are you We're on
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: season five right, Yeah, season five is airing now. Did
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: it take a minute to adjust? Because I know with
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: my cast, and I'm sure I'll get in trouble for
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: saying this. I know certain things that my cast members
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: have told me that I would not mention on the show,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: just because I think there's just a level of privacy
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: that we have to you know, I still want these
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: people to be my friends when the show.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Things happen during filming, So it's.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Like, correct, correct? Did you find it hard where it
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: was like, there are certain things that I don't really
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: want to discuss for the world to watch. Did like
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: did you have to get used to that?
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Of course, of course, But.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: You know season one we were really kind of like
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: lightweight and it was never anything that was too out
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: of bounds. However, as time goes by, you know, this
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: stuff gets to the press. So once it's public with
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: regards to press, it's we got to.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Talk about it, right. You can't cannot talk about it right.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: So that's kind of where the seasons have have changed
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: and the information has changed, and it's kind of like, Okay,
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: I can't sit here and act like I haven't read
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: the blogs because now I know all about your husband
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: and what he's doing, you know, with Karen and her
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: whole tax thing, like that was in the Washington Post
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: that her husband owed the irs like five million dollars, Like, there's.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: No way we can't talk about it. I have to
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: talk about it.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Wow, No, I'm telling you, Like, when I watch y'all show,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: it's like real shit. Yeah, you know, I'm like, where
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: are we going here? Like, oh, they're going there right now?
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Yes, And I feel like, you know, we can't get
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: away with Connor I feel like Beverly Hills, like the
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I love those ladies. I
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: think that they are funny and they you know, they
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: are dripping in diamonds and pearls.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: I love it. But they argue over literally nothing like zero.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Like lucy apple juicy. It's like, give me some real meat.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Yes, whereas we couldn't get away with that if our
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: life depended on it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Like I gotta agree with you. I do watch that show,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: and and Lawa is glued to all of these real housewives.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: And when I watch, they're fighting over like did you did?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Were you out of line at the last party? I
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: can't believe what you said? You were disrespided. It's like
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: to me, it's like it's not that heavy, you know,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: but they're make it like it's the end of the world.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: So I mean to see you're cast and what and
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: how heavy it gets because that's not.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we we get into it, and especially this season
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: and a maybe like five more episodes, we really get into.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: What's really in it right now, which is.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: You know, the whole black lives matter, and we could
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: have never known that, you know, the world would have
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: exploded like it did with regards to Black Lives Matter.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: But in the show, we just talk about what it
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: means to be a black woman and and how important
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: that is and how we're viewed in this country, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: like all of that came up and yeah.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: That's like really heavy stuff.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, big time. And I think it's phenomenal that you
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: guys you know, confronted in your show, because yes, I
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: think we need a lot more of that. So and
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I hope to see that a lot more in television.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I want to deep dive into what you were
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: just talking about. We're going to take a short break
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and we'll be right back with Jazell Bryant. We are
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: back with my favorite Real housewife, Miss ji Zel Bryant.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Hi baby, Hi. So before the break, you were telling
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: us that in a few weeks on the show, you
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: ladies will get to address black Lives matter. What was
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that like for you as it you know, even on
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: when we see Watch What Happens Live and you now
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: do a show that is about this not being a moment,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: it being a real movement. I watch your Instagram a lot, like,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: what is this like for you as a black woman
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to be such a force behind this movement.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I think that it's great that we have this.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Platform, or that I'll speak personally, that I have this
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: platform to use my voice to bring awareness to things
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: that people overlook. You know, I've had so many issues
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: with my children and just and just them in school
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: and just you know, some things that the white kids
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: say to them.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: That's horrible. But now finally.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: The world is listening, which is a beautiful thing. So
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: in the show, there was an altercation and afterwards, you know,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: which was horrible, But afterwards it allowed us to really
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: talk about how we conduct ourselves and how we handle
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: ourselves as black women in this country because we are overlooked,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: we are paid less, we are treated like the lowest
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: man on the totem pole, and we don't ever want
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: to put ourselves on national television and show the world
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: what you already think of us, which is that we're
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: not capable of discussing things without fighting, without violence, without
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: being forceful. So it was it was a great conversation
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: and hopefully it'll be really well received.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: You know what I know, obviously I haven't seen it,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: but that is actually in the trailer when you they're
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: like doing a montage of all of these things like
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a fight scene that's cutting in and out, and what
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you say sent chills up my body?
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Did it?
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: It really did, because you know, I'm obviously a white
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: person who collapse back very quickly and I don't have
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to think like that Giselle, you know, And so when
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: you said that, it was like, wow, Like these women
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: are really shedding light on things that people that look
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: like me don't think about because we've ever had to.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: And you know, you're You're one of the first people
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: that I called when this movement happened and things went
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: sideways with some of the vander Pump Rules casts. I
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: just was like reaching for any sort of knowledge that
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I that I could get. So I really want to
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: thank you for that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, And you know, as we all moved down
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: this road, it's just like we could just have to
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: have the conversations because it really opens everybody's eyes to
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: what's really going on in this country. So hopefully we
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: can get to a better place. That's all we're asking,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: just to get to a better place.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. I love watching your stories and I love seeing
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: you with your girls and what you guys are doing
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: so good damn work. I want to I want to
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: move on to pastor Jamal Bryant. Yes, okay, So I
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: was telling Randall, I'm like, no, you don't understand, like
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: they were married, got divorced, her kids were like confused
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: when they got back together.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's I want you to spill all the wice.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: She just flew right over that like it's like a
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: standard because I was trying to just process what you
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: just said. I mean you just like, oh, yeah, got married,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: got more, got back together seven years later. I mean,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: slow it down, Let's start with the beginning.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Hold on Jesselle was She's going to give you the gi.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I just want to ask the question.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: They asked the question.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: You married a many all in love, had children? Correct? Okay, correct?
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Then seven that, then seven years later, got divorced? Correct?
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: And then how many years later from that did you reconnect?
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: And twelve years year? Oh my god, I got no more.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: This is too good. Okay, break it down for us.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Break it down. So this happens.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Throughout throughout the twelve years.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: You know, I had to make a decision and say, Okay,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: do I am I just going to be mad for
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: the rest of my life, or do I really want
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: to give my girls the opportunity to have like a
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: real decent family unit. So I put my love for
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: my children over me being mad at him with regards
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: to the divorce.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Does that make sense? Yes? Okay, So then you know,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: time goes by. I'm growing and evolving. He's growing and evolving,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: I I'm growing into this like bad bitch that I am, and.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: That's amazing. Part of the whole episode is great.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: And then you know, and he's also growing and evolving
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: with his career and throughout the twelve years, you know,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: we remain tight as friends.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: All on a second. Okay, so I know in twelve
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: years of being co parents and amazing children in separate homes,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: do you ever hook up?
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Going there? Okay, No, that's no. That's a really good
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: question and the answer is no.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I can't. This is amazing. That's even more amazing that
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: you close a chapter in your life. I understand the
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: co parenting. And then at some point, how does this
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: go down? Like how does this happen?
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm I'm clearly dating other people.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: And doing my things and he's doing that too, So
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: I think it happened because of that, because we did
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: our thing without hooking up. And without like, Okay, you
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: know he's just going to put his pinky toe in
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: and test the waters. No, we were clearly living our
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: separate lives, of course co parenting, but that allowed both
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: of us to grow in our own space.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, so then you know, I don't know. I think
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: I woke up one day and was I mean, he
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: would always of course, Randall, you know you know how
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: y'all do. He would always throw it out.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Dude, You're amazing. You are amazing. No, okay, so as
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: a dude, as a dude, that's all I wanted to know.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: As a dude, you're saying, you guys are super close.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Over the twelve years, you're obviously both growing, you're both evolving,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: and then you're, I want to call it your more
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: mature selves twelve years later kind of fall into line
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: where the attraction is there again. I guess, yeah, yes, wow,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: you you broke it down. I do because can I
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: tell you something, I've never heard of this, and I
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: do know that Don Johnson and Melanie Griffeth that's the
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: only couple that I'm like kind of aware of that
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: did this kind of thing. Okay, let let's just talk
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: about that percentages of this happening divorce in America, unfortunately,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: is fifty eight percent or something like that. Somewhere in
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: this high bracket of the fifties or sixties, I would
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: say that chances of reconciliation is probably point zero zero
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: zero zero er zero one. So it's just you're an
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: anomaly at the highest level, and that's why I'm so
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: just intrigued how it happened. But okay, so now twelve
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: years later, you've mature, he's mature. You're a badass, he's
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: a badass. You both are ballers and yeah, and you're
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: saying all along. He's like trying to get like Friday
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: night colms. You're having a few drinks. He's like, can't
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: sleep over. You're like no, So he keeps putting it
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: out there. But eventually what happens that you you put
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the wall down or the connection makes sense.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm okay, Okay, so let's let me back
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: up and clean some stuff up a little bit, because
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: it was never.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Like had too many drinks? Can I spend the night?
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: No, it was more like, you know, I can't wait
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: to roll you, you know, push your what do you
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: call those things?
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Push your wheelchair when we get old together? You know that.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was none of that four cocktails in just
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: being like.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I really want to know, are in there
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: more mature selves?
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I got it? And yes, and your husband's a pastor.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I forgetting so.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, and he so he doesn't drink, but I do.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: I just forgot about that. So I screwed up. Yeah, okay,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: so he's like a unicorn. He's like the perfect ex husband.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: There you go, yes and yes, absolutely Okay. So now
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: he says, I want to push your wheel try, I
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: want to grow old with you, and yeah, in this
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: moment in your life where you look at him and.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Say, so, I am at this point where I'm like,
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: you know what, who do I want to grow old with?
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Who do I want to travel the world with? Who
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: do I want to share my life with?
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: Because you know, I'm doing some great things out here
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: and I want to share it with somebody.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: And there was.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: No other person that I could even possibly think of
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: than him.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: That's number one. Number two.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: I was listening to an interview and I can't remember
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: who interviewed them, but it was Shawnnie O'Neill and Evelyn Lozada.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Okay from basketball wives.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: From basketball wives, And the guy asked them, is that
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: you guys right? If you guys got locked up in jail,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: who would you call? You had one call, who would
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: you call to get you out? And both of them
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: said their ex husbands. Seannie was like Shaquille and Evelyn
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: was like Chad. And I was like Jamal, Like there's
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: nobody but Jamal to get me out of jail because
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: I know he will die to protect me and to
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: take care of me and to make sure that I'm
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: that I'm good. So you know, when I started coming
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: into myself and realizing like what I want from my life,
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: it just you know, of course, it just makes sense.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: The love is still there. And he then moved away.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: He moved to.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Atlanta, Okay, and nothing had happened yet, correct, Like, you
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: guys now get to this place, this sweet time that's
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: away being kind to each other. Got it?
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: And then I realized I didn't want him away, Like
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: you know, he moved to Atlanta and I was like,
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: holy shit, he's gone. And then that made me really
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: shift and be like wait a minute, this no, like
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: let's fix this.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and that's when you reached out and you said,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: let's take a shot at this. I mean, I just
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: want to know that the actual how it.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: And I can't. I don't have that magical moment for you, Randall.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: But we just started talking about us being back together,
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: and then we took it seriously because we were like, Okay,
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: if we're going to do this, we have to like
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: make sure we're very intentional. So we went to see
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: we sought counseling and you know, try to really get
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: in a good headspace to make sure because you know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: it's this whole trust thing that you got to rebuild
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: and all of that good stuff that you got to
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: make sure you pay attention to.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: But you know what's cool because obviously this doesn't happen,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: and it's, like I said, anomaly. What's neat is that
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: for twelve years you both evolved to completely different people,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: but your completely different selves were more in sync than
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: your previous selves. I guess it seems like so when
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: you twelve years later, when you really got together again,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: it seems like you both were just like spiritually in
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: the same place. Yes, I guess I think that's amazing.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's a true love story and I just.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Have to put I just have to put this out
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: there because she has three girls. Yeah, and they were
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: like this is weird, like because they never knew. Yes,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: how how are they doing with it now?
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah? How do how do kids respond to this?
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Just that way?
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: There?
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: This is weird.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: This is you know, we know what happened in the past,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: and we want to make you know their.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Team mommy like no other. But no, they're good. They
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: love their dad and they're good.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: So how long have you been back together? Now?
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: It's been a couple of years. I tried to hide
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: it for as long as I possibly could. You know
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: how that is to try to hide? Yeah, you're real life?
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Wait did Laala hide anything on the show?
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I know how.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I know the drill, you duck and dodge the truth for.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but then it's like, okay, fine, you gotta you
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: gotta deal with it.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: So for for a couple of years now, yeah.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, Wow, I am I am very this is Does
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: this now a question? And maybe I'm just be naive?
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Does this come out on the show and in any
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: of the show. Does this whole rekindling happen on the show?
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: It happened prior to us filming, so so not really no.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: But last year's last season's reunion is when Andy was like,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: who are you dating? Like I've heard it maybe somebody
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: would you like to tell me? And isn't that when
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: you were like, I'm dating my ex husband?
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, no, I was like what huhah?
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but people to be to be honest with you,
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: people that Noah's are like so super excited.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, how could you not just listening? Do you
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: talk about how you guys like went off and did
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: your thing. And my mom always said, you can never
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: be with someone if if you only equal one hundred percent,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: you each have to equal one hundred percent to make
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: two hundred. He can't be your other half. You have
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: to already be a whole person, saying well, I'm like.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Five hundred percent, so there you go.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Oh god, you go right.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: I totally agree with that. I totally agree with that.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: And then my mother always told me that I should
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: never be a man's first wife. I should be his
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: second wife, and technically I would be if we got
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: married again.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Wow, how lucky is that to be? That's amazing?
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I agree with one hundred percent
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: thing because I feel like like you and I like
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: today where I'm at my life and where you are, Like,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: we're strong forces and we are our own people, and
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: yes we will break down for one another to be
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: there for each other, but we will always hold the
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: line on who we are and not let the other
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: swallow the other person.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Randall always likes to ask, do you need me,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: la La? I'm like, no, really, I want you, but
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I don't need anybody, baby, that's what But that is
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: what you want, Like, that's that's perfect.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: I think that the first time when we were married, I.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: He swallowed me up, like and I by design, not
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: by design, but I decided to kind of put all
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: my focus and concentration on him because he was building
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: his business and he was building his church, and I
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: was there to help him. So I think, and as
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: I look back, that that probably was not good.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, how can that be good? You know,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: it's it's crazy for you to say that because you're
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: such a strong force, like when you and I have
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: spoken or when I watch you on the show, like
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I would never think that any man could you know,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: swallow you up? When you know it's like shocking.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Later and now now exactly like kind of like where
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: we're at, Like we each have our identities and we
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: embrace them versus one of us try to eat it up.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Giselle, do you feel like this show gave you more confidence?
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: I had it before, but it like amplified it from
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: the perspective of I was so season one.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: You know, you never know what's going to happen.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: You never know how you're going to be perceived, And
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: I really was like a little terrified, like are people
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: gonna like me? Are they gonna hate me? Are they
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: going to think I'm just stuck up? Or are they
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: going to understand my jokes? So I realized that I
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: can't even worry about that, Like I'm confident I'm a
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: bad one and I'm just gonna walk my walk.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I love it. Before we run out of time, I
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: just want to talk about your makeup brand every huge. Yes,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: So you launched this in twenty sixteen. Tell us about that,
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: because that's exciting because Lala, you know, launched a brand,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: and I love I love to hear about strong women
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: who are who don't have their own companies. So break
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: it down for.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: Us by the way, thank you, Lola for what you
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: sent me. I was going to thank you at the end,
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: but like I love my lips. My kids were trying
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: to steal what you sent me and I'm like, back
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: up off my lipstick.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Oh you are so sweet. I'm so happy that you
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: love it. Thank you.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: You're quite welcome.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: So I started every huge beauty to basically help out
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: women of color because like when you go through through
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: the beauty world, a lot of times, most things that
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: are out there don't match our skin complexion. Until Finty
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: came along, Like Cinty really changed the game the world. Yeah,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: and Fenty made everyone else, everyone like big box stores, realize, Okay,
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: we've got to have stuff in here for black women
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: because the.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: There that Fenty just blew that market up. So that's it.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: And we were in Target and it was a beautiful relationship.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Now let's talk about COVID.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, so not part Covid.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Has killed our manufacturer.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: So that's actually where we are right now, Like our
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: manufacturers shut down. We haven't been able. We don't know
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: when they'll be back up. And because I have skincare,
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: meaning I have products that that have to be I
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: have SPF in my product and all that has to
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: be approved by the FDA and all that stuff. I
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: can't really just like move to another manufacturer overnight. So
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure that out, guys. But Covid is
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: a beast because it has really put a monkey wrench
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: in every beauty.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: It's put a wrench in a and I hate to say, like, well,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: misery loves company, that's just the same. But it does
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: feel good to be like, Okay, at least I'm not
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: the only one that's affected. It makes me feel less
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: badly that things aren't moving the way that they used to.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Ye for everybody, no, everybody, like not at all.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: And I never thought that this would be a problem.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Like I never thought, Okay, the pandemic has hit. Cool,
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: I get you know, you'll be shut down. But it
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: affected my manufacturer to the point where I don't know
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: if they'll ever come back up.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: And it's kind of like, okay, we got to figure
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: this out.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Well that I think. I think that's that's interesting to
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: say it because everybody goes through like where we were,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: like Okay, it'll be a month, it'll be two months, Okay,
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: it's three months. Now it's six, now it's nine, and
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: you're right, a lot of people have not will not
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: come back. A lot of my partners that I've worked
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: with also, you know, I've suffered where they haven't. They
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: are not going to be able to come back. And
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: it's crazy how we have to, you know, figure out
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: the future.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: And and yes, I am so grateful that you found
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: time to be on our show. You know, I've been

• 44:47
  Speaker 1: that Jessica Simpson, as you know, she's sober. I didn't
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: know that she is sober. She wrote a book called
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Open Book where she talks about her struggles with addiction.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, And there was one Halloween that she was
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: so wasted that her friends were like, get away from
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: the children, Like she didn't even remember Halloween at all,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: which I can say i'd see.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: I did a movie with her like forget It ten
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: years ago or something even longer, twelve years ago, and
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: so I never saw that side of her. She's probably,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: you know, just coming up in her career, but the sweetest,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: nicest person. But so she's sober now.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: She's sober now. And she did an interview and they
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: asked her, like, has it been hard not to drink
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: during the pandemic? And she said, I have not wanted
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: to pick up a drink, And I feel blessed, wow,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: because I haven't wanted to, you know, and that is
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: a struggle for a lot of people. I've been on
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: my meetings where people come in that I've recognized since
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I started that would say, you know, hi, today's my
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: fifth birthday. That means like I've been five years sober.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Who are now getting their three day chip or whatever
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: it may be.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, do you see that A lot a lot of
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: people falling off during this tough, you know, obviously insane.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're you're it's harder to be held
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: accountable because all you're doing is phone calls and signing
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: on to zoom. Whereas before it's like you want to
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: get in the car and go to a meeting because
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: that's like your social hour. You get to see your friends,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: you get.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: To get your checking in.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: You're checking in exactly. We don't have that right now.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: And they are saying, I've looked at a lot of
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: different stats. They are saying that alcoholism, obviously, depression, all
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: the stuff is on the rise because we're all living
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: in a really you know, unstable with the unpredictable time.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: So right, so you're giving her, You're giving Jessica Sims
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: a shout out.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: I'm giving her a shout out for being sober. I
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: think that it's amazing that she hasn't wanted to pick
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: up a drink, and her saying I feel blessed for
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: that is the perfect word to use, because that's not
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: the case for everybody. So I just want to acknowledge,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: you know, addiction during this time and that if if
• 46:52
