Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It actually was a packed and it wasn't just a
- 0:03Speaker 1: pack between the guys, It was a pack between the
- 0:07Speaker 1: six of us.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Stay tuned.
- 0:11Speaker 3: We'll get to my conversation with Kimmy and Maurice from
- 0:14Speaker 3: Love and Marriage.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Huntsville right after he's quick assed. Hey, rain drops, So.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Before we get into my interview with Love and Marriage Huntsville,
- 0:28Speaker 3: Kimmy and Maurice Child, we got so much to talk
- 0:32Speaker 3: about very quickly.
- 0:34Speaker 2: For starters, we.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Got to get into the second episode of the Real.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Housewives of Potomac.
- 0:42Speaker 3: This season is starting off hot and I could not
- 0:47Speaker 3: be more excited.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Yes, and let's just get right into it.
- 0:51Speaker 3: We got to talk about what's going on with Chris Bassett,
- 0:55Speaker 3: Ashley Darby, Giselle, Kobe Bryant, and Candace.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, where do I begin?
- 1:07Speaker 3: Besides the fact that I need to wonder if somebody
- 1:11Speaker 3: pulled a hamstring, because it was a reach of all
- 1:17Speaker 3: reaches when it comes to whether or not Chris did
- 1:22Speaker 3: anything inappropriate. Look, I am a firm believer that yes,
- 1:28Speaker 3: we should take everything seriously and really see what's going on.
- 1:33Speaker 3: But based on the DM that Chris sent Ashley Darby
- 1:40Speaker 3: at two forty five in the morning.
- 1:42Speaker 2: I don't think it was a big deal.
- 1:44Speaker 3: He clearly responded to your Insta story where you are
- 1:49Speaker 3: hanging out at another location.
- 1:53Speaker 2: He responded to the Insta.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Story and the only thing he said was, y'all should
- 2:01Speaker 3: have came to park you know where he works. And look,
- 2:05Speaker 3: this is what I know being a producer. Cast members
- 2:09Speaker 3: are very close to each other, right, regardless if it's
- 2:13Speaker 3: a situation to where you're getting along or not. When
- 2:16Speaker 3: you're on a show with other let's just say reality stars,
- 2:20Speaker 3: right and their husbands, it's sort of like this big
- 2:24Speaker 3: camaraderie that you have with each other.
- 2:26Speaker 4: Right.
- 2:27Speaker 3: The husbands look at these housewives like their little sisters.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Regardless of what happens when the women go at it,
- 2:35Speaker 3: the guys never get involved, unless.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Your name is Peter Thomas.
- 2:40Speaker 3: But typically the guys do not get involved in the drama.
- 2:46Speaker 2: They just don't.
- 2:47Speaker 3: So the men always feel like, you know, look, you
- 2:51Speaker 3: may not get along with my wife, but that's between
- 2:54Speaker 3: y'all and I see you guys as like my little sister,
- 2:58Speaker 3: So you know, I'm able to at leat communicate with you,
- 3:01Speaker 3: and my wife isn't going to get mad.
- 3:04Speaker 2: And when you look at Chris, because I like.
- 3:05Speaker 3: To look at the history of the person. Chris Bassett
- 3:08Speaker 3: comes across as somebody who yes, loves his wife, defends
- 3:13Speaker 3: his wife, but he does it in a way where
- 3:15Speaker 3: he doesn't allow that to affect his friendships with the
- 3:20Speaker 3: other women because he honestly liked most husbands feel like, again,
- 3:24Speaker 3: that's between the women. So him making that statement to
- 3:32Speaker 3: Ashley wasn't weird to me at all. And this is
- 3:38Speaker 3: one of those cases I'm just gonna say it. I
- 3:42Speaker 3: feel like, Okay, are you guys reaching for a storyline?
- 3:46Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 3:47Speaker 3: Like Peter Thomas and Nini Leaks were great friends, right
- 3:53Speaker 3: While Nini and Cynthia obviously were best friends. Greg may
- 3:58Speaker 3: he rest in peace and Peter were also good friends too.
- 4:00Speaker 3: If Peter dm Niini Leaks at two forty five in
- 4:05Speaker 3: the morning saying, yo, you should have came to bar one,
- 4:09Speaker 3: I don't think Greg Leaks would think that's an issue,
- 4:12Speaker 3: and I don't think Nimi Leaks would think that was
- 4:15Speaker 3: an issue. Right now, Granted, Candice and Ashley aren't as
- 4:20Speaker 3: close as Ninni and Cynthia were. However, it doesn't mean
- 4:27Speaker 3: that this man is trying to push up on you, Ashley.
- 4:31Speaker 3: You are a beautiful girl. I got a chance to
- 4:33Speaker 3: meet Ashley in person. Ashley, like I said before, is
- 4:36Speaker 3: super gorgeous. However, dot com Ashley, I don't think Chris
- 4:41Speaker 3: Bassett is that dumb that even if he wanted to
- 4:45Speaker 3: flirt with you, he's not stupid enough to DM you
- 4:49Speaker 3: where he knows how this game works, where he knows
- 4:52Speaker 3: you can screenshot it, like how other people have screenshot it.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Your husband doing things while y'all were married, duh. I
- 5:00Speaker 3: think Ashley was looking for a storyline. I think Ashley
- 5:04Speaker 3: was looking to get back at Candace. Where Candace revealing
- 5:07Speaker 3: to Ashley what Michael Darby was doing with his penis
- 5:11Speaker 3: in the w Hotel, the Hilton, the residents in the
- 5:16Speaker 3: Super eight, the Intercontinental.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Yeah, again all allegedly.
- 5:22Speaker 3: So I think Ashley was just trying to get back
- 5:25Speaker 3: at Candace for all the things Candace said, that's my
- 5:28Speaker 3: opinion and I'm sticking to it. Then we had Giselle
- 5:31Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant, the force multiplier of multipliers.
- 5:40Speaker 2: We also had her sort of.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Revealed some information about feeling uncomfortable that Chris went inside
- 5:48Speaker 3: her hotel room after they taped the reunion. So just
- 5:53Speaker 3: to go back a little bit, the real Housewiss of
- 5:56Speaker 3: Potomac reunion was in this hotel that had a ball room.
- 6:03Speaker 3: So it wasn't like Chris drove five miles to the
- 6:08Speaker 3: hotel in which Gazelle was staying, right, They were all
- 6:12Speaker 3: at the same location, the reunion and the hotel.
- 6:16Speaker 2: So Chris wanting to talk to Jazell privately.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Again, Chris, in my opinion, really looks at these women
- 6:27Speaker 3: like his sisters. And because that reunion was very I'm
- 6:31Speaker 3: not gonna say dark, I don't think it was dark.
- 6:32Speaker 3: I actually thought it was funny. But because that reunion
- 6:36Speaker 3: was very heightened in the sense of a lot was
- 6:39Speaker 3: going on, I think Chris just wanted to talk to Gazel,
- 6:43Speaker 3: especially because he wanted to, you know, make sure that
- 6:45Speaker 3: his wife Ashley not Lord.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Did I say wife Ashley Lord Jesus, Oh my God,
- 6:52Speaker 2: that it's so shady.
- 6:53Speaker 3: I meant to say his wife Candace, Lord Jesus, and
- 6:56Speaker 3: latter day says okay, because Chris wants to defend his wife.
- 7:03Speaker 3: I truly believe he wanted to talk to Gizell just
- 7:08Speaker 3: to make sure that they all understood that Candice is
- 7:11Speaker 3: really taking what's going on between Hermonique seriously and she
- 7:15Speaker 3: made need some support, which is why when Gizelle told
- 7:19Speaker 3: this story to Robin and again, I do believe the
- 7:23Speaker 3: way Jaselle felt.
- 7:24Speaker 2: You can't discount her feelings.
- 7:25Speaker 3: That's how she felt, right, But that's why when she
- 7:30Speaker 3: told Robin, another woman, that's why Robin was like.
- 7:34Speaker 2: I don't see the big deal.
- 7:36Speaker 3: And I thought that was helpful because I am a man,
- 7:40Speaker 3: so I never want to assume that because I felt
- 7:43Speaker 3: this way, a woman should feel this way. But that's
- 7:45Speaker 3: why I was so interesting that Robin, who not only
- 7:50Speaker 3: is a woman but Giselle's best friend, was like, na, be.
- 7:55Speaker 2: I don't I don't see the I don't see the
- 7:57Speaker 2: issue here.
- 7:58Speaker 3: So because Ashley, having experience Giselle, who is the chef
- 8:04Speaker 3: of storylines I feel, was like, ooh, this could be interesting,
- 8:09Speaker 3: So let me tell Candace my truth again. This is
- 8:13Speaker 3: Giselle's truth, and you gotta respect a woman who's saying
- 8:17Speaker 3: to people this is my truth, right, baby? Did y'all peep?
- 8:24Speaker 3: How when Giselle and Candace said down and Giselle told
- 8:29Speaker 3: Kandas what time it was when it came to her
- 8:31Speaker 3: husband Chris. Did y'all see how Candas was looking around
- 8:35Speaker 3: the producers and the camera guys like, oh.
- 8:37Speaker 2: Y'all got me fucked up? Is this really what we're doing?
- 8:41Speaker 3: I saw that in Candas's eyeballs, honey, like, y'all got
- 8:45Speaker 3: me fucked up. So when Candace got up and went
- 8:50Speaker 3: to the executive producer, who, by the way, is my mentee.
- 8:54Speaker 3: His name is Eric. Eric is fabulous. He is the
- 8:56Speaker 3: Carlos King of the Real Housewats of AutoMac.
- 8:59Speaker 2: He is honey.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Candace caught that Shay bitch and was like, y'all not
- 9:04Speaker 3: about to Michael Darby Chris Bassett, y'all ain't doing that,
- 9:09Speaker 3: not today, not in this scene. Is this a storyline?
- 9:13Speaker 3: We are about to go? Because if that's the case,
- 9:16Speaker 3: I'm out.
- 9:17Speaker 2: I'm out.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Kansas was like, we ain't doing this, And in that
- 9:21Speaker 3: moment I really felt bad for Candace because if I
- 9:26Speaker 3: was in her shoes. Not only did Ashley say to me,
- 9:31Speaker 3: your husband DMed me at two forty five in the morning,
- 9:34Speaker 3: saying come to the w because the picture was you
- 9:37Speaker 3: and another female having fun at another event. She now
- 9:41Speaker 3: has to be with Gazelle, and one thing about Candace
- 9:44Speaker 3: Dialer Bassett baby call her a rolex because she knows
- 9:48Speaker 3: what time it is. Baby, she knows that Giselle is
- 9:52Speaker 3: the queen baby a multiplying a story and she looked
- 9:58Speaker 3: at Giselle green eyeball and said, oh my gosh, this
- 10:05Speaker 3: is about to be the storyline this season. And she
- 10:08Speaker 3: had to leave because I do believe she felt so
- 10:13Speaker 3: much anxiety in her body that she had to exit
- 10:18Speaker 3: stage left. And by stage left, bitch, it was the bathroom. So,
- 10:29Speaker 3: I mean, this is going to be very interesting. As
- 10:31Speaker 3: you all know, we had Candace on this podcast recently
- 10:37Speaker 3: and she said things like, my husband does not want Giselle's.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Fifty year old puss.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Her words, not mine, And based on what I'm seeing,
- 10:50Speaker 3: this is going to be very bad, very bad, so
- 10:55Speaker 3: much so I'm not sure how Candace and Giselle are
- 11:02Speaker 3: going to recover from this.
- 11:06Speaker 2: But let me know what you guys think.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Do you guys think that it was inappropriate for Chris
- 11:14Speaker 3: to slide into Ashley dms and leave a comment in general,
- 11:21Speaker 3: regardless if it was harmless or not, because it was
- 11:25Speaker 3: two forty five in the morning and Ashley is a
- 11:29Speaker 3: married woman, or do you all think it was innocent.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Let me know, tweet me hashtagging reality with the King Baby.
- 11:40Speaker 3: Without further ado, here is my conversation with Kimmy and
- 11:45Speaker 3: Maurice from Love and Marriage Huntsville. All right, rain drops,
- 11:51Speaker 3: we have one of the most attractive couples on reality television.
- 11:56Speaker 3: The very sweet, the very motivating.
- 12:00Speaker 2: The epitomy bothered this. They let get to them because
- 12:06Speaker 2: they will check you. And I know you guys.
- 12:09Speaker 3: Asked me all the time, like, Carlos, you're afraid of
- 12:10Speaker 3: in life? Besides God, who I'm fearful of?
- 12:13Speaker 2: Second would be Kimy.
- 12:15Speaker 5: Ye not afraid.
- 12:22Speaker 1: And Carlos, what was the moment that it actually started? Now?
- 12:26Speaker 5: I remember this, and I wonder if you remember.
- 12:29Speaker 2: No, you go first, man.
- 12:30Speaker 6: No, I remember for you when we were getting married
- 12:34Speaker 6: in Miami. We were getting married in Miami and production
- 12:38Speaker 6: kind of took over and I kind of wasn't happy,
- 12:45Speaker 6: and you literally left, literally left, and you said I
- 12:51Speaker 6: picked my battles. You said I picked my battles, and
- 12:59Speaker 6: Carlos was like, I'm gonna leave that with y'all.
- 13:04Speaker 5: Miami, Was that what you gonna it was?
- 13:07Speaker 4: Miami said, You'll never know.
- 13:09Speaker 3: We were here one thing I love about the two
- 13:12Speaker 3: of you is the fact that none of you grew
- 13:15Speaker 3: up thinking like I'm going to be a celebrity or
- 13:18Speaker 3: that my life was going to be on television.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Right.
- 13:21Speaker 3: So to have this boy from Maurice's hometown of the
- 13:24Speaker 3: d Detroit, Michigan, to come into your life to say
- 13:28Speaker 3: I'm going to do a reality show, it gets picked
- 13:31Speaker 3: up because Miss Winfrey loved it. Then to say, oh,
- 13:34Speaker 3: you're getting married, We're going to film your wedding.
- 13:37Speaker 5: For National TV.
- 13:39Speaker 6: Whoever thinks of that big exactly.
- 13:43Speaker 3: I produced a lot of wedding specials, and one thing I.
- 13:45Speaker 2: Know is you let the bride on her day do
- 13:48Speaker 2: what she wants.
- 13:49Speaker 3: Yes, we're all like interfering on Keimmy's day. And usually
- 13:54Speaker 3: when a reality star has a wedding special or her
- 13:57Speaker 3: wedding is filmed, she's been on TV for me, so
- 14:00Speaker 3: she gets us to the camera. So when Kim's defense, y'all,
- 14:03Speaker 3: I understood like, oh, sisin't.
- 14:05Speaker 2: Fuck it with me. So guess what I'm going to do.
- 14:10Speaker 3: I Am going to exist stage lab as, I am
- 14:14Speaker 3: going to talk to Mars.
- 14:20Speaker 2: And the rest in history.
- 14:21Speaker 6: And somebody asked me on another interview as a matter
- 14:24Speaker 6: of fact, like it was I hesitant and I was like, no,
- 14:27Speaker 6: not at all.
- 14:27Speaker 5: Like that was first season. We were excited. We wanted
- 14:30Speaker 5: to do everything. I said.
- 14:31Speaker 6: Ask me in fifth season if I let them film
- 14:34Speaker 6: my way?
- 14:36Speaker 3: Oh already know already again carlos Key picks his battles.
- 14:44Speaker 3: One thing that I and the audience loved about the
- 14:47Speaker 3: two of you, y'all come across so authentic and real
- 14:50Speaker 3: when it comes to the show. I was go on
- 14:53Speaker 3: record saying I don't think the two of you have
- 14:56Speaker 3: been affected by the fame, but I want to hear
- 14:58Speaker 3: from you, knowing that here you are trying to just
- 15:01Speaker 3: live your everyday life. Cameras start to follow you. Now
- 15:05Speaker 3: you're famous. You guys have the number one show on
- 15:09Speaker 3: the Oprah Winfrey Network.
- 15:12Speaker 2: What does that feel like.
- 15:13Speaker 6: I don't feel like a celebrity. I don't feel famous
- 15:17Speaker 6: from start to finish. That was never my goal when
- 15:20Speaker 6: you met us. Our goal was providing community service. This
- 15:24Speaker 6: just gives us a much bigger and nicer platform to
- 15:28Speaker 6: do it. So I'm truly unbothered when people want to
- 15:32Speaker 6: say hi, or talk or stop you in the airport
- 15:35Speaker 6: or in the grocery store or Walmart, because I feel
- 15:38Speaker 6: we were afforded a platform to kind of continue doing
- 15:42Speaker 6: some of the stuff that we actually want to do.
- 15:44Speaker 6: As vocal as people think I am, I'm actually pretty private.
- 15:49Speaker 6: Like you know, I don't care to be a celebrity,
- 15:52Speaker 6: Like I don't care to be us. That's not my goal.
- 15:56Speaker 6: So when people say, oh, she not booked and busy,
- 15:58Speaker 6: I'm okay with that because I go work. So I'm
- 16:02Speaker 6: enjoying where we are because it was totally unexpected and
- 16:07Speaker 6: I would like to make the best of you know,
- 16:09Speaker 6: where we are in this moment.
- 16:11Speaker 2: And what would you say, Maurice, pretty much.
- 16:13Speaker 4: The same thing. You know, I've never been looking for fame.
- 16:17Speaker 1: But remember Carlos, when we first got on the show,
- 16:19Speaker 1: we said we wanted to be good, you know, and
- 16:21Speaker 1: we said we wanted to be number one.
- 16:23Speaker 4: Whatever number one was, that's what we wanted.
- 16:26Speaker 1: And that's I think that's that's an attestment to all
- 16:28Speaker 1: of the people that were on this show, the original six.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Of course, we were looking like, guys, if we're gonna
- 16:32Speaker 1: do something, we want to do it big and we
- 16:34Speaker 1: want to be good at it. But ultimately, of course
- 16:37Speaker 1: we didn't all know what comes with that, you know, so,
- 16:40Speaker 1: but the good side of what comes with it is
- 16:43Speaker 1: that your words are more impactful no matter what you're saying.
- 16:46Speaker 4: You know, what travels further.
- 16:48Speaker 6: And Carlos like this is like what I see in
- 16:52Speaker 6: and I just kind of stick with the original six
- 16:54Speaker 6: and how I know them as people. Everybody seems to
- 16:58Speaker 6: be doing what they wanted to do from the beginning,
- 17:01Speaker 6: like literally, so you know, my goal wasn't to be
- 17:05Speaker 6: on the runway with Mail doing whatever that was Male's goal.
- 17:08Speaker 6: Male's doing what Mail wants to do, what Males set.
- 17:11Speaker 5: Out to do.
- 17:12Speaker 6: Marcel and commercial real estate, you know, strip malls and
- 17:16Speaker 6: building and you know, providing that kind of service to
- 17:19Speaker 6: the community.
- 17:19Speaker 5: Marshall's doing what Marshall wanted to do.
- 17:21Speaker 6: And so, you know, I get kind of put off
- 17:24Speaker 6: sometimes when everybody compares you to the next person. I
- 17:27Speaker 6: don't want to do what Male's doing. I don't want
- 17:29Speaker 6: to do what Marshall's doing. I want to do what
- 17:31Speaker 6: I'm doing. And this platform has afforded every single one
- 17:34Speaker 6: of these initial couples to do exactly what they wanted
- 17:38Speaker 6: to set out to do.
- 17:39Speaker 5: And I think that's awesome.
- 17:41Speaker 2: No, it is awesome.
- 17:42Speaker 3: And when we first started to do this show, each
- 17:45Speaker 3: one of you guys, separately and as couples, had your
- 17:48Speaker 3: own agenda and I'm happy to say that has never waigbired.
- 17:53Speaker 3: The intention has never waigbired. And what happens when you
- 17:56Speaker 3: become famous, especially whether it's a daytime talk show, a
- 18:02Speaker 3: late night talk show, or reality TV. And the reason
- 18:05Speaker 3: I'm bringing those things up is because you're in America's
- 18:07Speaker 3: homes either daily or weekly, and in this case is
- 18:10Speaker 3: every Saturday night. People feel like they know you. I
- 18:13Speaker 3: love the Love and Marriage Hunts Bill fans, Lord knows
- 18:16Speaker 3: I do, and I thank them for making us number one.
- 18:19Speaker 2: You know I do.
- 18:20Speaker 3: I appreciate y'all because of you guys, we're number one. However,
- 18:25Speaker 3: dot org oftentimes the fans like to pit the stars
- 18:31Speaker 3: against each other, and it's sort of like female hip hop,
- 18:34Speaker 3: where you have one fan base feeding something into the
- 18:40Speaker 3: celebrity's ear. Ooh, this is a subtweet about you, girl.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Look what they're saying about you. And that happens a lot,
- 18:47Speaker 3: especially with the Love and Marriage Hunts Bille fans.
- 18:49Speaker 2: They love to pit all the y'all against each other.
- 18:51Speaker 3: And the one thing that I love about the two
- 18:53Speaker 3: of you is y'all don't feed into the mess.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Now.
- 18:57Speaker 6: Be clear, we do a little bit of clapping every now,
- 19:03Speaker 6: because sometimes it's only so much you can take. Like
- 19:07Speaker 6: sometimes you read a couple of things and you're like,
- 19:09Speaker 6: what was you thinking? Like every now and then, so
- 19:12Speaker 6: I don't want to even act like we don't ever
- 19:15Speaker 6: get in the mix and kind of you know, say
- 19:18Speaker 6: something here or there or whatever. But for the most part,
- 19:21Speaker 6: in all fairness, some of the comments, some of the
- 19:24Speaker 6: things that I look at, I think they're substantiated in
- 19:28Speaker 6: some of them, and so I look at it as Okay, yeah,
- 19:32Speaker 6: maybe I could have said that different, or maybe I
- 19:34Speaker 6: could have done that different. I personally don't take every
- 19:37Speaker 6: single jab as they're wrong and I'm right. That's me personally.
- 19:43Speaker 6: I don't take every jab as I'm the one that's
- 19:46Speaker 6: right and they're wrong. However, sometime they're wrong, sometime they're
- 19:51Speaker 6: really wrong, sometimes they're really wrong.
- 19:56Speaker 3: Give me an example, Kimmy, of when they got it
- 19:58Speaker 3: really wrong.
- 20:00Speaker 5: Few examples for.
- 20:01Speaker 6: Me, you know, like people say, oh, they don't have
- 20:03Speaker 6: storylines and this, that and the other.
- 20:04Speaker 5: One of the biggest storylines. Obviously for us was.
- 20:07Speaker 6: The whole Siegick thing, you know, and I've absolutely never
- 20:10Speaker 6: been asa chick ever. Whatever happened in their household happened
- 20:15Speaker 6: before they knew who a Kimmy was. Papers were signed
- 20:18Speaker 6: like that whole thing, and it was just nothing that
- 20:22Speaker 6: you could say that, Oh, Kimmy's not being honest, Kimmy's
- 20:25Speaker 6: not being transparent, and I'm.
- 20:27Speaker 5: Like, except things happened with.
- 20:30Speaker 6: Them before Kimmy ever showed up and the people who
- 20:34Speaker 6: it happened with, No, it was not a moment of
- 20:37Speaker 6: transparency for me.
- 20:39Speaker 5: It was never a moment of transparency for me.
- 20:42Speaker 6: It was a story that they wanted to run with
- 20:45Speaker 6: and they did, and to be fair, four years later,
- 20:47Speaker 6: we're not running with it anymore.
- 20:49Speaker 5: So it's not a storyline. But that was one thing.
- 20:51Speaker 6: The Atlanta trip. Oh, Kimmy didn't know where Maurice was,
- 20:54Speaker 6: except Kimmy did. And the fact that we sat on
- 20:59Speaker 6: a stage age with six people looking at Maurice like
- 21:04Speaker 6: like we knew where he was that we didn't find
- 21:08Speaker 6: out at the reunion. Oh no, Maurice was in Atlanta,
- 21:13Speaker 6: And it just and that's funny.
- 21:15Speaker 2: You see, why did you bring that up marine.
- 21:19Speaker 3: The fans want to know, why did you lie to
- 21:22Speaker 3: your boy, Carlos.
- 21:23Speaker 1: I didn't lie to Carlos. This is what happened, Carlos.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Think about this. If you have a drink, right, I'm
- 21:30Speaker 1: gonna use Marcel's analyzy and you talked he in there,
- 21:35Speaker 1: do you drink that drink? No?
- 21:37Speaker 4: Why because it's tainted.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Once you said the extra part, it became tainted, so
- 21:43Speaker 1: I can't answer in the affirmative.
- 21:45Speaker 5: So it happened, Carlos. It was a mess. It was
- 21:48Speaker 5: an unnecessary mess. And with Merrying the best.
- 21:53Speaker 6: Communicator I know, I stand to reason with him that
- 21:58Speaker 6: even if he felt like You're question was given in
- 22:01Speaker 6: two parts, you answer in two parts.
- 22:03Speaker 5: It's very simple to me.
- 22:05Speaker 6: So like I wasn't stressed out for the backlash because
- 22:09Speaker 6: I felt like he brought it on hisself.
- 22:11Speaker 4: Hey, Carlos, let me let me get in here real quick.
- 22:14Speaker 1: If you look back at the camera, you actually see
- 22:17Speaker 1: me look up because I had to process that.
- 22:20Speaker 4: How am I going.
- 22:23Speaker 3: While you're processing a lie or a way to get
- 22:26Speaker 3: out of it.
- 22:28Speaker 4: A way to answer your question and get out of it.
- 22:32Speaker 3: You were trying to find a way of asking my
- 22:35Speaker 3: question without incriminating yourself as your brother, as a brother.
- 22:42Speaker 5: As a friend, as all of that, as all of that.
- 22:45Speaker 1: The one thing I don't do is I'm a very
- 22:47Speaker 1: loyal individual. So I tried my best not to throw
- 22:50Speaker 1: people in front of the bus and then back it
- 22:53Speaker 1: up on them. That right, there was a really tough question.
- 22:57Speaker 5: It wasn't that tough. It wasn't at all. None of us.
- 23:03Speaker 4: Now except for everybody, was sweating. As soon as they
- 23:06Speaker 4: get off the stage. They're like, oh my god, I can't.
- 23:09Speaker 6: Get to sweating because they got to remember the story
- 23:12Speaker 6: they told during the course of the year. That's why
- 23:15Speaker 6: they sweating. If you know your story to be correct
- 23:18Speaker 6: all year long, it ain't no sweat. I was tickled
- 23:21Speaker 6: that Carlos was doing the reunion. I was come through.
- 23:24Speaker 1: I was excited until we started asking them deep questions.
- 23:27Speaker 4: You're like, I would like to know a little bit more.
- 23:30Speaker 2: I was like, let's go into the reunion.
- 23:35Speaker 3: I had no plans of hosting the reunion, like zero,
- 23:39Speaker 3: I don't think people know this story. So you guys
- 23:41Speaker 3: will get the exclusive. Kimmy and Marie and and my
- 23:44Speaker 3: rain dropped. We had a host that we wanted to
- 23:48Speaker 3: do it. That person because the scheduling reasons couldn't do it.
- 23:52Speaker 2: And this is the god to honest truth.
- 23:53Speaker 3: When that person said I'm so sorry, I'm unavailable, I
- 23:57Speaker 3: was mad because I was like, oh.
- 23:59Speaker 2: My god, gosh, like, who's gonna do it? Because because
- 24:03Speaker 2: I'm a.
- 24:04Speaker 3: Producer first, and that's the thing that I don't think
- 24:06Speaker 3: people realize that.
- 24:07Speaker 2: My mind went into well.
- 24:08Speaker 3: Damn well, who's gonna who's gonna true story.
- 24:12Speaker 2: I spent hours like who's gonna host it?
- 24:17Speaker 3: I'm gonna give y'all some names, I said, but maybe
- 24:20Speaker 3: I can convince ev Angela du Again, who's the vice
- 24:25Speaker 3: president of development. I called her, and I hate giving
- 24:28Speaker 3: anybody disappointing news, and I said, girl, you know so
- 24:32Speaker 3: and so can't do it.
- 24:33Speaker 2: I'm so disappointed.
- 24:35Speaker 3: I don't know what to do because we're taping the
- 24:37Speaker 3: reunion in two weeks and I don't and Carlos King
- 24:39Speaker 3: does not have a host for this explosive ad season
- 24:42Speaker 3: because it's been because of COVID, it's been over a
- 24:45Speaker 3: year since we had a reunion. Angela said, honey, you
- 24:50Speaker 3: should host it, Like, I don't understand why you're so disappointed.
- 24:53Speaker 3: It needs to be you anyway, because I haven't hosted
- 24:56Speaker 3: a reunion in years. And then I was like, really,
- 24:59Speaker 3: long story York. We had a meeting with the network.
- 25:02Speaker 3: We pitched a couple of names. Angela said, we're going
- 25:05Speaker 3: to add the name to the mix. I added my
- 25:07Speaker 3: name to the mix. Network said we agree with Angela
- 25:11Speaker 3: that you're the obvious choice, but we got to get
- 25:13Speaker 3: it clear with Miss Winfrey.
- 25:15Speaker 2: And I was like, oh gosh, if.
- 25:17Speaker 3: Miss Whitfrey says no, I'll gonna be like both day
- 25:20Speaker 3: of lows like you ate that guy, like there you are.
- 25:22Speaker 3: But long story short, Miss Winfrey gave her blessing. That's
- 25:25Speaker 3: how I became the host. So we made it a
- 25:28Speaker 3: part of the show the reunion to let you guys
- 25:32Speaker 3: know who was hosting it. Kimmy and Melody gave the
- 25:35Speaker 3: best reactions, and Maurice did too. It was sort of like, Okay,
- 25:40Speaker 3: he's fair, he knows us, and because we're all friends,
- 25:46Speaker 3: it's going to be a conversation versus an interrogation kind of.
- 25:52Speaker 4: That's how it started.
- 25:53Speaker 6: And I think I think they know the background, and
- 25:57Speaker 6: so I think for me, good interviewer is somebody who
- 26:02Speaker 6: knows the show, knows the background, and so when I
- 26:05Speaker 6: answer a question and you say, okay, I hear you.
- 26:08Speaker 6: But in season two, episode three, I think you said
- 26:12Speaker 6: so and so and so and so, what did you
- 26:14Speaker 6: mean by that. I think that's a good interviewer. I
- 26:18Speaker 6: think that's a good host that kind of gets down
- 26:21Speaker 6: to the nitty gritty, like, yeah, I hear what you're
- 26:22Speaker 6: saying up here on the stage, but this is what
- 26:25Speaker 6: played out.
- 26:26Speaker 5: In the show.
- 26:27Speaker 6: And sometimes when you have hosts that don't really actually
- 26:31Speaker 6: watch the show as religiously, they're unable to do that.
- 26:35Speaker 6: They simply have cards with questions and it's more mechanical, you.
- 26:39Speaker 5: Know what I'm saying.
- 26:40Speaker 6: And so I was very happy that it was going
- 26:43Speaker 6: to be you because I felt like you would come
- 26:46Speaker 6: with the emotion.
- 26:46Speaker 5: It's like your baby.
- 26:48Speaker 1: I think that you Carlos do remember that we said
- 26:52Speaker 1: you should host a.
- 26:54Speaker 4: Long time ago.
- 26:55Speaker 5: Who said that's true? Rue said it first.
- 27:00Speaker 3: Kimmy is so supportive. She was like, it should be you,
- 27:04Speaker 3: and she she's so sweet. She was like, and you're
- 27:06Speaker 3: just really fucking good at it. Like I was happy
- 27:08Speaker 3: to do it. But my reason, my question for you
- 27:10Speaker 3: is this, in the beginning, you were happy.
- 27:12Speaker 2: I was hosting it. At what point doing the reunion?
- 27:16Speaker 2: Who were you like, oh shit.
- 27:19Speaker 1: There was some questions that you were asking Martel and
- 27:22Speaker 1: I was like, he's relentless, Like Carlos actually could be
- 27:25Speaker 1: a really good lawyer for depositions. I bring Carlos in
- 27:30Speaker 1: for the deposition. You did a really, really good job.
- 27:33Speaker 1: They're like, why is anybody ever hosting anything else?
- 27:36Speaker 4: Loving Marriageonsville.
- 27:37Speaker 3: When it comes to Maurice and Kimmy, y'all are kind
- 27:40Speaker 3: of like the fan favorites in the sense of, like,
- 27:42Speaker 3: people just love y'all relationship. They love that y'all represent
- 27:47Speaker 3: people who hold other people accountable. And Kimmy, we've seen
- 27:52Speaker 3: how you navigated through troubled waters with Tisha and missus
- 27:59Speaker 3: Why And the one thing that one hundred percent of
- 28:03Speaker 3: the people have said about you navigating through those relationships
- 28:07Speaker 3: is you are very clear and direct on the messaging
- 28:12Speaker 3: and no one can say Kimmy wasn't clear. But I
- 28:15Speaker 3: also know it's very difficult for you going through that.
- 28:19Speaker 3: Tomork to his moment with t Shenwanda, how difficult was
- 28:24Speaker 3: it for you because not only are you on a
- 28:26Speaker 3: reality show, you're on a reality show with your family
- 28:30Speaker 3: you know, like you're brought in family.
- 28:32Speaker 6: Well, I'm the brought in, and so like being the
- 28:39Speaker 6: brought in, you really don't try to stir the waters
- 28:42Speaker 6: like you really don't in this entire scenario. That was
- 28:47Speaker 6: probably is probably the most difficult for me because there's
- 28:53Speaker 6: certain things we just don't see eye to eye. And
- 28:56Speaker 6: even though we're not going at it every day, it
- 29:00Speaker 6: doesn't necessarily mean that our viewpoints have changed.
- 29:04Speaker 5: We've just learned to acquiesce.
- 29:06Speaker 6: Meet in the middle on some things that we may
- 29:09Speaker 6: not agree with, and at the end of the day,
- 29:12Speaker 6: I feel like here in Huntsville, we're the core of
- 29:16Speaker 6: our family, like the four of us, and so it
- 29:20Speaker 6: affected us well beyond a TV show, you know, So
- 29:26Speaker 6: navigating that has been super difficult.
- 29:29Speaker 5: It's been super difficult.
- 29:31Speaker 6: Wanda is Wanda, and as much as I love Wanda
- 29:36Speaker 6: and her personality, I feel that there are times when
- 29:41Speaker 6: she pushes the envelope with me anyway, I feel there's
- 29:44Speaker 6: time she pushes the envelope. And as people have come
- 29:48Speaker 6: to know me, it's not very many people I.
- 29:51Speaker 5: Give much leverage to in pushing that envelope, and.
- 29:53Speaker 6: So it's been hard because she teaches mom like it's
- 29:57Speaker 6: hard she sees Mom so like when she talked greasy Jalen,
- 30:01Speaker 6: I'm gonna feel some kind of way. One of this
- 30:03Speaker 6: situation has probably been a little bit more difficult than
- 30:06Speaker 6: me and t because I feel like me and Tea
- 30:08Speaker 6: have come to understand that we've learned something about each other.
- 30:12Speaker 6: I'm still figuring Wanda out and so it makes it
- 30:15Speaker 6: It makes it tenuous.
- 30:16Speaker 5: It makes it tenuous.
- 30:20Speaker 3: Who child, I hate interrupt, but we'll be right back
- 30:23Speaker 3: with more of my conversation with Kimmy and Maurice right
- 30:27Speaker 3: after this quick break. This is reality with the King,
- 30:39Speaker 3: and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into my conversation
- 30:43Speaker 3: with Kimmy and Maurice. Kimmy doesn't call me at all
- 30:49Speaker 3: or a lot. I would say, right, I would never
- 30:51Speaker 3: get this. I'm on set on another show. Kimmy Scott
- 30:55Speaker 3: text me and she said so kindly, Hi, Carlos, don't
- 31:00Speaker 3: want to bother you, but can you talk?
- 31:04Speaker 2: And I was like, this ain't good because Kimmy bothers me.
- 31:08Speaker 3: So I called Kimmy in our very personal conversation. The
- 31:13Speaker 3: one thing that Kimmy shared was this situation between Tash
- 31:16Speaker 3: and I is real and I can't have a TV
- 31:21Speaker 3: show come in between my relationship. And I understand that
- 31:25Speaker 3: we're doing real life. And yes, I signed up to
- 31:28Speaker 3: give you guys my real life. She said, I just
- 31:30Speaker 3: need to hear from you that this isn't something that
- 31:34Speaker 3: is going to be labored and get bigger and bigger
- 31:37Speaker 3: and bigger, because this is my family.
- 31:39Speaker 5: Do you remember this, Kimmy, Absolutely, And you're right. I
- 31:42Speaker 5: don't call. But like I'm saying, it was bleeding over
- 31:46Speaker 5: into reality.
- 31:50Speaker 6: I just felt like it was just getting pushed in
- 31:53Speaker 6: a couple of different directions, and I just, I just
- 31:57Speaker 6: I didn't want that to happen.
- 31:58Speaker 5: I just I didn't want that to happen.
- 32:01Speaker 6: I try to think about things that I say, because
- 32:04Speaker 6: you can't take words back, you can't take actions back,
- 32:06Speaker 6: you can't take words back, and so some of the
- 32:09Speaker 6: things that were happening between us were things.
- 32:12Speaker 5: That people can't take back.
- 32:15Speaker 6: I'm Aquarius, and so I'm a holder on I hold
- 32:18Speaker 6: on I do. I hold on to stuff, and so
- 32:21Speaker 6: when people say things to me or do things to
- 32:24Speaker 6: me in anger or in the heat of the moment,
- 32:27Speaker 6: I remember it and I hold on to it and
- 32:30Speaker 6: I'm not saying that's right. I'm just saying I'm a
- 32:32Speaker 6: holder on. I wanted to be transparent, I wanted to
- 32:35Speaker 6: be open, I wanted it to be fixed, and I
- 32:37Speaker 6: wanted to do what I signed up to do. However,
- 32:40Speaker 6: it was just it was an area that I was
- 32:43Speaker 6: uncomfortable in and I just didn't know how to navigate.
- 32:48Speaker 1: One of the things, I would say that through this,
- 32:50Speaker 1: I think that kimmunity has been forced to grow in
- 32:53Speaker 1: some areas because up until this point, it's all right
- 32:58Speaker 1: to you.
- 32:59Speaker 4: Yeah, you know. So now it's.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Actually forced her to push past certain things to you know,
- 33:04Speaker 1: find ways to compromise and work things out.
- 33:06Speaker 5: And that's like.
- 33:07Speaker 6: Another misnomer I guess from the show, and people will say, like, oh, Ken,
- 33:11Speaker 6: we did this, and she's still talking about.
- 33:13Speaker 5: And she still no.
- 33:14Speaker 6: Y'all kind of maneuver some situations because they make us
- 33:18Speaker 6: have conversations that sometimes I would normally have, I am
- 33:22Speaker 6: a legit, don't give a fuck, like I'm a legit.
- 33:26Speaker 6: I'm finished, Like I just don't have the time or energy.
- 33:30Speaker 6: And so I've said that since season one. I think
- 33:33Speaker 6: there are times, because it's a show, you force us
- 33:36Speaker 6: to have conversations that normally we actually wouldn't have, you know,
- 33:41Speaker 6: and to the at the end of the day, some
- 33:43Speaker 6: of them have been productive.
- 33:45Speaker 3: You know, when you sign onto your reality show, it
- 33:49Speaker 3: sort of puts you in this position to where you
- 33:51Speaker 3: have to have conversations that you ordinarily would just not
- 33:54Speaker 3: have or ignore, but because you're on a show, correct
- 33:58Speaker 3: it has to make sense of the audience. You have
- 34:00Speaker 3: to go to the beginning, the middle, and the end.
- 34:03Speaker 3: What is your relationship? Like with Tsha and Wanda, we're in.
- 34:07Speaker 5: A much better place.
- 34:08Speaker 6: I think a lot of things have happened in our
- 34:10Speaker 6: lives as adults to make us understand that.
- 34:14Speaker 5: It's not about the small stuff. I can honestly.
- 34:17Speaker 6: Say our relationship isn't exactly where it was before the show.
- 34:22Speaker 6: That's just an honest statement because things have said, it
- 34:25Speaker 6: been said and transpired, and you know, you just kind
- 34:29Speaker 6: of see different angles of people where you accept people
- 34:32Speaker 6: where they are. There's some things about me that I
- 34:35Speaker 6: feel like she feels she's had to accept that she
- 34:39Speaker 6: didn't feel like she knew before and vice versa.
- 34:42Speaker 5: Wanda and I we we.
- 34:44Speaker 6: It's not like we talked on the phone or anything,
- 34:47Speaker 6: but even offscreen, we still had some situations where I
- 34:51Speaker 6: think Wanda has been out of pocket. You know, like
- 34:55Speaker 6: every person on this show protects their kids and their husbands,
- 34:59Speaker 6: their and whatnot, and so we've had situations even still
- 35:03Speaker 6: where Wanda, in my opinion, has spoken out a turn
- 35:08Speaker 6: to my kid and it's not.
- 35:11Speaker 5: Cool on me.
- 35:12Speaker 6: And you know, the apologies after the fact I get.
- 35:16Speaker 6: I think they get old, like at some point you
- 35:18Speaker 6: just stop. You know, We're still kind of back and
- 35:21Speaker 6: forth because I just think she takes leverage some time
- 35:24Speaker 6: to say what doesn't need to be said.
- 35:27Speaker 3: I want to go back a little bit to season
- 35:28Speaker 3: one because in the beginning of the season, it was
- 35:33Speaker 3: rumored in Huntsville that Martell was stepping out. And one
- 35:37Speaker 3: thing I know, because I have six brothers, is that
- 35:40Speaker 3: boys don't tell on each other. Talk to me about
- 35:43Speaker 3: how in the beginning, because y'all are so close, how
- 35:47Speaker 3: troublesome that was because you're on a TV show, to
- 35:51Speaker 3: be real, but you also know this is your homeboy
- 35:54Speaker 3: who's going through something that you're not too sure is
- 35:57Speaker 3: going to end well.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Carlos, I know that. I don't know if you know.
- 36:03Speaker 1: The conversations that we had but it actually was a
- 36:05Speaker 1: packed and it wasn't just a pack between the guys.
- 36:10Speaker 1: It was a pack between the six of us because
- 36:12Speaker 1: we knew about all of this stuff before the show started,
- 36:16Speaker 1: and it was shocking to us. Like if you saw
- 36:19Speaker 1: my face in the episode. We're all sitting around the
- 36:22Speaker 1: dining room, so we're talking about.
- 36:24Speaker 4: This and I still didn't know that it was gonna
- 36:29Speaker 4: go full tilt.
- 36:30Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, it was one of those
- 36:33Speaker 1: wood if questions, you know, because when we used to
- 36:35Speaker 1: all get around, Mail would always have these wood if
- 36:38Speaker 1: questions that would get it going. Like some couples they
- 36:40Speaker 1: might fight that night. Other couples, you know, they might
- 36:43Speaker 1: cuddle that night.
- 36:44Speaker 4: We don't know. Based on the wood if question, I
- 36:47Speaker 4: thought it could have been a.
- 36:48Speaker 1: Wood if question, but nonetheless, based on what they had
- 36:52Speaker 1: already went through, it was a shocking question that that
- 36:55Speaker 1: was the what if?
- 36:56Speaker 6: It was all six of us, We all seix because
- 36:58Speaker 6: we were friends and we did no stuff about each other.
- 37:02Speaker 6: We all sick, sat down and full transparency because fans
- 37:06Speaker 6: will probably not all be that happy, but we all said,
- 37:09Speaker 6: what's things y'all don't want to talk about, Like whatever
- 37:12Speaker 6: you don't want to talk about let us know right
- 37:15Speaker 6: now so we don't accidentally touch on it, you see
- 37:18Speaker 6: what I'm saying.
- 37:19Speaker 5: And that was one of the things that they act.
- 37:22Speaker 5: And this is funny.
- 37:23Speaker 6: One of the first two episodes, we were doing my
- 37:26Speaker 6: bridal shower filming and they wanted Maurice and the Eye
- 37:31Speaker 6: to talk about the rumors and me and Maurice kept
- 37:34Speaker 6: dancing around it and we was talking about everything else
- 37:37Speaker 6: and not doing it.
- 37:38Speaker 5: I remember you, Angela, y'all pulled us out the bathroom,
- 37:44Speaker 5: pulled us right in here, right here into the hall
- 37:47Speaker 5: and said, what is going on? Why won't you talk?
- 37:50Speaker 5: Da da da da da?
- 37:51Speaker 6: And we told you we had this conversation and they
- 37:54Speaker 6: asked us not to talk about it, like they asked
- 37:57Speaker 6: us not to talk about it.
- 38:00Speaker 4: You're wasting my film and you're wasting my time.
- 38:02Speaker 1: They're talking about it and we're talking about it. And
- 38:05Speaker 1: I was like, well, all right, back to business.
- 38:09Speaker 6: And so that was like a for real, honest thing.
- 38:13Speaker 6: We didn't we didn't know how they wanted to approach it,
- 38:16Speaker 6: and they were our friends.
- 38:17Speaker 1: And to me, Carlos, more than anything, it's embarrassing than
- 38:21Speaker 1: herful right, who would ever want to hurt their friends,
- 38:26Speaker 1: you know, on a national platform.
- 38:28Speaker 6: They weren't here at our house when that happened, so
- 38:31Speaker 6: when things started going left, we.
- 38:33Speaker 5: Were like, we were trying to protect y'all.
- 38:36Speaker 2: And that is very true, obviously.
- 38:38Speaker 3: I said this on the behind the scenes special that
- 38:41Speaker 3: I think two years ago or three years ago, a
- 38:43Speaker 3: week before we were shooting a pilot episode. Melody was like,
- 38:47Speaker 3: I got to tell you something. Martella's cheating on me.
- 38:50Speaker 3: It's been going on for a very long time.
- 38:52Speaker 2: I was shocked because when I met them.
- 38:55Speaker 3: They pitched me like an HGTV type show among themselves,
- 38:59Speaker 3: and based upon what they presented to me, I was.
- 39:04Speaker 2: Like, this brother is sprung off of a Melody hold.
- 39:07Speaker 3: He lets her shine you like she is like this
- 39:11Speaker 3: star and he's like, here you go.
- 39:13Speaker 2: Baby.
- 39:13Speaker 3: But long story short, that dinner scene you're talking about Maurice,
- 39:17Speaker 3: because we knew the information because Melody shared it with us.
- 39:21Speaker 3: It was a moment of what do y'all normally do?
- 39:24Speaker 3: How do you address up? And Melody did say Maurice.
- 39:26Speaker 3: I asked these what if questions and it gets the
- 39:29Speaker 3: party started.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Pretty much.
- 39:31Speaker 3: We had no idea what the question was going to be,
- 39:34Speaker 3: so I said to her, look, let's just shoot this pilot.
- 39:39Speaker 3: If you want to pursue it afterwards, great, If not,
- 39:42Speaker 3: no love loss, but I believe in God's destiny and
- 39:45Speaker 3: if we get picked up for a season, is meant
- 39:48Speaker 3: to be. So when she asked that one a question
- 39:50Speaker 3: about what if you know this whole thing about respectful cheating,
- 39:54Speaker 3: and Maurice gave the best reaction Kimmy and her ponytail
- 39:58Speaker 3: and her off the shoulder was like, was like, uh,
- 40:03Speaker 3: there's there's there's a thing called respectful cheating.
- 40:06Speaker 2: Like what are we doing here?
- 40:09Speaker 3: And because of that dinner scene, when the network saw
- 40:15Speaker 3: the pilot, you know, obviously they love the fact that
- 40:18Speaker 3: they kept saying like, these are some beautiful couples who
- 40:22Speaker 3: are smart and successful, and that was the draw to them.
- 40:28Speaker 3: The comeback group initiative was the draw to them. So
- 40:31Speaker 3: we knew we had that the network had no idea
- 40:35Speaker 3: that you guys had this interesting personal story going on,
- 40:40Speaker 3: and when they saw that dinner scene, they were like, oh,
- 40:43Speaker 3: we have a like we have a show, show, show, show, show,
- 40:47Speaker 3: like this is going to be something interesting. Because I
- 40:51Speaker 3: was shocked that Martelle was doing that and the network
- 40:54Speaker 3: was shocked. All of those elements, being attractive, being successful,
- 40:58Speaker 3: The comeback group, in addition to the personal story, is
- 41:01Speaker 3: truly what made the network say we want this show.
- 41:05Speaker 3: When did you guys feel that, hmm, we have a
- 41:10Speaker 3: hit show in our hands.
- 41:11Speaker 2: What was that moment for the two of you?
- 41:13Speaker 4: Oh?
- 41:14Speaker 5: I think that was early for me. For me, it
- 41:17Speaker 5: was early. I would say.
- 41:21Speaker 6: Season two easy because and I say this as humbly
- 41:25Speaker 6: as I can. I've said it to other interviewers. I
- 41:28Speaker 6: believe the collective to be a gold mine. I think
- 41:32Speaker 6: it was literally a nugget of gold that was found.
- 41:38Speaker 6: I think our interpersonal relationships, our personalities, our characters. I
- 41:44Speaker 6: think that who we bring to the table as people
- 41:48Speaker 6: is phenomenal. And this is just an honest, you know
- 41:51Speaker 6: cast statement. I always felt like some of the earlier
- 41:55Speaker 6: episodes were a little better than the older ones, only
- 41:58Speaker 6: because I felt like we were really allowed to be
- 42:02Speaker 6: who we were in the beginning, like say what you want,
- 42:06Speaker 6: do what you want. Sometimes after a little bit of editing,
- 42:09Speaker 6: you get a little more cautious of your words.
- 42:11Speaker 5: You get and you just do by nature.
- 42:14Speaker 6: You get a little more, you hold back a little
- 42:17Speaker 6: more after you see it edited out a little bit
- 42:19Speaker 6: like I'm not gonna say that, or I'm not going
- 42:21Speaker 6: to take a breath in between this, and then you
- 42:23Speaker 6: can't cut it out.
- 42:24Speaker 1: You know.
- 42:25Speaker 6: So I feel like in the beginning, we all were
- 42:30Speaker 6: just a little bit more giving of our real personalities,
- 42:34Speaker 6: and I think that matters.
- 42:36Speaker 1: I think that all six of us, the original six,
- 42:39Speaker 1: brought something very unique and everybody is strong in that
- 42:43Speaker 1: specific space.
- 42:45Speaker 3: You guys are one hundred percent correct. This show, Love
- 42:49Speaker 3: and Matter Hansville was lightning in a bottle. I instantly
- 42:54Speaker 3: fell in love with this sixth of y'all, the original six,
- 42:58Speaker 3: the three couples, Martel, Melody, Maurice Keimmy, Tisha, marceauf It's
- 43:03Speaker 3: hard to describe to the audience how a producer feels
- 43:07Speaker 3: when he or she is introduced to a collective that
- 43:13Speaker 3: is rooted in reality with a backdrop being Huntsville, Alabama
- 43:18Speaker 3: and everything that just came so organically real, you know
- 43:22Speaker 3: when it came to the show, And I believe that's
- 43:24Speaker 3: the reason why the show was an instant hit, Like
- 43:26Speaker 3: people instantly love the show because all of the elements
- 43:30Speaker 3: of aspiration, inspiration and wait, what's going on? In this household.
- 43:36Speaker 3: All of that played into the success of the show.
- 43:39Speaker 3: And listen, I'm not perfect, nor am my producers, and
- 43:42Speaker 3: life isn't perfect and the casting perfect.
- 43:45Speaker 2: And the one thing that I.
- 43:45Speaker 3: Will say is, you know, my biggest goal moving forward, honestly,
- 43:52Speaker 3: and I'm saying this publicly so holds me accountable.
- 43:54Speaker 2: I want to get back to the basics of the show.
- 43:57Speaker 3: And what I mean when I say that is I
- 44:01Speaker 3: was watching a cut that you guys haven't seen yet,
- 44:04Speaker 3: and it's the original six having a dinner scene based
- 44:09Speaker 3: upon what happened with Wanda and Melody and the home
- 44:12Speaker 3: of Donnie Melee and the absolute moment the sixth of
- 44:19Speaker 3: y'all set down, and this is a true story. I
- 44:21Speaker 3: was watching on a Sunday and I was like, this
- 44:26Speaker 3: is what I need to get back to.
- 44:28Speaker 2: Like there, it was just something.
- 44:31Speaker 3: It was something, something magical happens when the sixth of
- 44:35Speaker 3: y'all are together, and I would like to get back
- 44:41Speaker 3: to that.
- 44:42Speaker 2: And I agree with you.
- 44:43Speaker 3: I think in the beginning, I'll say this, I think
- 44:46Speaker 3: in the beginning everybody was hungry, like, oh my, like
- 44:49Speaker 3: we want to be double what we're gonna We're gonna
- 44:51Speaker 3: give everything.
- 44:52Speaker 2: To it, and I and and listen, this is no
- 44:54Speaker 2: shade to anybody.
- 44:55Speaker 3: I always say to people, I have no idea what
- 44:58Speaker 3: it's like to be on reality TV telling my personal business.
- 45:01Speaker 2: I don't know what that feels like.
- 45:03Speaker 3: And I'll always say to people, I understand that at
- 45:07Speaker 3: some point it comes to time where you're like, I
- 45:10Speaker 3: don't want to talk about it, I don't want to
- 45:12Speaker 3: dress it. I'm not gonna say how I really feel
- 45:14Speaker 3: because I don't feel like dealing.
- 45:15Speaker 2: With the backlash of it.
- 45:17Speaker 3: And my hope, and I believe this will happen, but
- 45:22Speaker 3: my hope is that we do get back to the
- 45:25Speaker 3: original way the show was, which, honestly, and I know
- 45:31Speaker 3: the listeners are like, whatever, Carlos, you like messy, ratchet shit.
- 45:34Speaker 2: And listen, you know, listen, listen.
- 45:37Speaker 3: We all do, we all do, Let's be clear, but
- 45:40Speaker 3: you need a little out of it with little sprinkles.
- 45:42Speaker 3: But I next season, I want to see more of
- 45:49Speaker 3: the sixth of y'all in the same room, and I
- 45:52Speaker 3: know they somewhere we are right now.
- 45:55Speaker 2: That's a tall challenge.
- 45:58Speaker 3: However, I am not going to rest until we all
- 46:04Speaker 3: collectively agreed that our relationships may not ever be the same.
- 46:11Speaker 3: But but we all love this show, and we all
- 46:15Speaker 3: gave our all to this show, and let's get back
- 46:17Speaker 3: to doing that in a way that is honest when
- 46:21Speaker 3: it comes to the six of us. So I wanted
- 46:24Speaker 3: to let you guys know that already spoiled what my
- 46:26Speaker 3: meeting was going to be about.
- 46:27Speaker 2: But I still have more to say.
- 46:28Speaker 3: Thanks gonna say on the podcast, but you know that's
- 46:31Speaker 3: the main thing.
- 46:33Speaker 2: But do y'all agree with me one hundred pc?
- 46:36Speaker 1: I think that if you saw the meteoric rise that
- 46:40Speaker 1: we all had when we were collective, it was just
- 46:43Speaker 1: so much diversity in the room. And there's so many
- 46:47Speaker 1: different viewpoints about everything now. Mind you, on one side,
- 46:50Speaker 1: it's a challenge, and it makes you sharpen your sword
- 46:54Speaker 1: when you're bringing your ideas to the table because it's
- 46:58Speaker 1: going to be challenged. However, you know you have six
- 47:02Speaker 1: different viewpoints of how to make it right, how to
- 47:04Speaker 1: make it successful, a different way of looking at it,
- 47:06Speaker 1: and those what if questions.
- 47:08Speaker 4: I can tell you.
- 47:09Speaker 1: These girls, you need to show the audience the unedited
- 47:13Speaker 1: version of.
- 47:16Speaker 6: No, it was too long. Remember, Carlos would get angry,
- 47:19Speaker 6: like I said, stop talking. It's over, and we would
- 47:22Speaker 6: talk forever and ever and ever.
- 47:25Speaker 5: He says that y'all are adults. I know you know
- 47:27Speaker 5: what mean, you know, I know you understand when I
- 47:31Speaker 5: say stopped talking.
- 47:33Speaker 4: There was but there was so much. There was so
- 47:35Speaker 4: much that we were talking about. I know, you remember that, Carlos.
- 47:40Speaker 1: There were some really good nuggets that we left on
- 47:43Speaker 1: the floor, trust me.
- 47:45Speaker 5: But Carlos was funny.
- 47:46Speaker 6: Is that those same things y'all filmed that went on
- 47:48Speaker 6: for hours when we were upstairs in Cotton Road see
- 47:51Speaker 6: first season, when we were in the dining room, when
- 47:54Speaker 6: we were out in the little cotton field, that go
- 47:56Speaker 6: on for hours. That was like real life. We would
- 47:59Speaker 6: talk for literally hours on end about those kind of things,
- 48:05Speaker 6: And in all fairness, we really thought a fair share
- 48:08Speaker 6: of those would be played out to where it elicited
- 48:12Speaker 6: conversation male female conversation, husband wife conversation, you know, builder
- 48:18Speaker 6: contractor conversation where contractors disagree, you know what I mean.
- 48:23Speaker 6: So we've we've always been in that little vein about
- 48:27Speaker 6: just kind of spurring on conversation.
- 48:29Speaker 5: Part of the reason the Comeback Group had such a
- 48:31Speaker 5: hard time was.
- 48:32Speaker 6: Because those meetings went on for hours without resolution.
- 48:38Speaker 4: With revolution. Do you remember when the cameraman, Yes, it was.
- 48:46Speaker 3: Like they're talking about the same ship for two But
- 48:50Speaker 3: listen hours as a producer, listen as a producer, But
- 48:54Speaker 3: that GOSSI show you there was it was just it
- 48:58Speaker 3: was honesty and there was a not only just respect,
- 49:02Speaker 3: but camaraderie, and y'all cared about each other, because when
- 49:06Speaker 3: you don't care about the body, you will walk off
- 49:08Speaker 3: the scene be like I'm done. And that was the
- 49:10Speaker 3: beauty of it and I'm hoping to get back to that.
- 49:14Speaker 3: And when it comes to the two of you, do
- 49:16Speaker 3: you guys miss the friendships that y'all have with each
- 49:19Speaker 3: other in the beginning as a collective.
- 49:22Speaker 4: I do.
- 49:23Speaker 1: I think that ultimately everybody was in a better place
- 49:29Speaker 1: at that time, you know, business.
- 49:32Speaker 4: Wise, notoriety wise, and all.
- 49:34Speaker 1: The rest of that stuff. Of course, we're light years
- 49:36Speaker 1: beyond beyond where we were. However, I think when you
- 49:41Speaker 1: when you strip away all of that stuff, what do
- 49:43Speaker 1: you want to leave. You want to have relationships, you
- 49:46Speaker 1: want to have love, you want to have things that
- 49:48Speaker 1: matter outside of you know, the money. And I think
- 49:52Speaker 1: that that's uh, that to me has always been important.
- 49:55Speaker 1: I think it speaks to you know, my character, and
- 49:58Speaker 1: I think that collectively is the six of us. If
- 50:00Speaker 1: we can rebuild those relationships, then I think that we'd
- 50:03Speaker 1: be much better off.
- 50:04Speaker 6: Yeah, I miss I missed the excitement of how much
- 50:08Speaker 6: we actually enjoyed each other, like and and and anybody.
- 50:11Speaker 6: I'll tell you I was pretty much the outlier of
- 50:14Speaker 6: the six. But even with that being said, I like
- 50:18Speaker 6: the energy, Like when Martell Mellie would get up in
- 50:21Speaker 6: Texas six o'clock. We going camping today, or we're going hiking,
- 50:25Speaker 6: or let's go to Memphis, or let's go to Nashville.
- 50:27Speaker 6: That's you know, that was that was fun. The spontaneity
- 50:30Speaker 6: of it as friends was fun. To see all of
- 50:33Speaker 6: us enjoying each other's company was fun.
- 50:37Speaker 5: You know. Obviously the times when we had.
- 50:39Speaker 6: A little tension, that's not fun, you know, like I
- 50:42Speaker 6: don't want that part back, But.
- 50:44Speaker 3: Kemmy, what was interesting is it was still fun. Like
- 50:48Speaker 3: I tell people this all the time. My favorite season
- 50:51Speaker 3: of Love and Marriage Huntsville.
- 50:53Speaker 2: Again.
- 50:53Speaker 3: I don't know what season we end, so I'll just
- 50:55Speaker 3: tell y'all what happened that season. I loved the Vegas
- 51:00Speaker 3: trip and I almost tell you why. And This is
- 51:03Speaker 3: why I know we can get back to that. Melody
- 51:06Speaker 3: Martell was still divorced. Everybody was out of place in
- 51:09Speaker 3: their lives. Well, I think they're kind of still there.
- 51:12Speaker 3: But it was magical when y'all all were in the
- 51:16Speaker 3: same room together, kicking back, drinking in the pool, and
- 51:20Speaker 3: you don't have to always agree with each other, but
- 51:22Speaker 3: there was just this It was this.
- 51:25Speaker 2: Love that y'all had for each other.
- 51:27Speaker 3: And I know that we'll never get back to where
- 51:29Speaker 3: people were four years ago, but if we could get
- 51:32Speaker 3: back to where y'all were in Vegas, where we're around
- 51:35Speaker 3: each other, we can have dinners, we can hang out.
- 51:37Speaker 3: Tisha Melody can co exist in the same room and
- 51:40Speaker 3: have conversations and have each other's back. You know, Kimmy
- 51:44Speaker 3: can have a disagreement with Marceau and Tsha and still
- 51:47Speaker 3: be like, let's go out to have dinner, go.
- 51:49Speaker 2: To the club. Like I know that.
- 51:54Speaker 3: Again, there is something about the original six And I
- 51:57Speaker 3: know that may sound shady to the other cast members,
- 52:00Speaker 3: and it's not shade.
- 52:01Speaker 5: And no shade, but it is what it is.
- 52:04Speaker 2: It is what it is, and at the end of.
- 52:05Speaker 3: The day, the show is where it's at because of
- 52:09Speaker 3: the six of y'all, period point and the blank. This
- 52:13Speaker 3: show would not be Where's at if we took out one.
- 52:16Speaker 2: I always say this, and I'll say it.
- 52:18Speaker 5: Again me too.
- 52:20Speaker 2: I will always say it.
- 52:21Speaker 3: Love and Marriage Huntsville became the number one show on
- 52:25Speaker 3: own because of the original six, because it was definitely
- 52:30Speaker 3: lightning in a bottle and people miss the six of
- 52:35Speaker 3: y'all just talking to each other.
- 52:37Speaker 5: Yeah, and you can't take one out without the other.
- 52:40Speaker 5: People say all the time, Oh, you need to have
- 52:41Speaker 5: your own show.
- 52:42Speaker 6: Yeah know, like it's the six and it works with
- 52:45Speaker 6: the six. You see what I'm saying, Like, you don't
- 52:48Speaker 6: have to love me, you can love mail. You don't
- 52:51Speaker 6: have to love mail, you can love tea. Like it's
- 52:53Speaker 6: something for everybody. It literally is something for everybody. And
- 52:58Speaker 6: that's the part I like it, like real talk. I mean,
- 53:01Speaker 6: like everybody ain't gonna like you. It's all good like
- 53:04Speaker 6: somebody else.
- 53:08Speaker 1: Hey, Carlos, this is this is how you can tell
- 53:11Speaker 1: that that's true, is that every single person has become
- 53:14Speaker 1: the villain at one time.
- 53:17Speaker 4: Love and they all become the villain at one time,
- 53:20Speaker 4: every single one of them.
- 53:21Speaker 1: That's true, right, So yeah, I'd love for the six
- 53:24Speaker 1: to get you know, back together, get to a place
- 53:26Speaker 1: to where at least we spurred the conversation.
- 53:30Speaker 4: But there's one thing I need to add, man, I
- 53:32Speaker 4: have to say this.
- 53:33Speaker 1: We keep saying number one on on I want to
- 53:36Speaker 1: remove just the own part too.
- 53:42Speaker 4: We need to be just number one period. That's what
- 53:46Speaker 4: we need to be on next.
- 53:47Speaker 2: Well, look you're on your way.
- 53:49Speaker 3: You guys are the number one reality show on Saturday
- 53:54Speaker 3: nights and oftentimes oftentimes you're number one in African American households.
- 53:59Speaker 2: Like you guys, see the receipts, and.
- 54:02Speaker 3: Again it's because of this show we're able to spin
- 54:05Speaker 3: off into other territories, DC being one of them.
- 54:09Speaker 5: And I just think that's honorable.
- 54:11Speaker 3: And that's what Yes, because of the sixth of y'all,
- 54:14Speaker 3: because I've met with Mela Martel, because of unbelieving in
- 54:17Speaker 3: the show.
- 54:18Speaker 2: It helped all of us. It helped me, it helped
- 54:20Speaker 2: you guys, Like.
- 54:21Speaker 3: I don't think it's an issue saying thank you to
- 54:24Speaker 3: people that had some sort of way into your destiny.
- 54:27Speaker 3: I think that just glorifies God that we all can
- 54:30Speaker 3: work together. So the idea of a franchise for a
- 54:34Speaker 3: black owned production company is a big deal because it
- 54:36Speaker 3: doesn't happen every day. I want all of my babies
- 54:40Speaker 3: to be successful. And that's the reason why. After the reunion,
- 54:44Speaker 3: Carlos King's coming to Huntsville and we're going to have
- 54:46Speaker 3: a nice little dinner at Cotton Row so that we
- 54:49Speaker 3: can continue onto great pests. But the author aside. Before
- 54:57Speaker 3: I let you'all go, I just want to say this.
- 54:59Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
- 55:00Speaker 3: Thank you for being a part.
- 55:01Speaker 2: Of the show. Thank you for being a part of
- 55:03Speaker 2: my life.
- 55:04Speaker 3: Thank you for what you guys bring to the show,
- 55:07Speaker 3: to the table. It means the world to me that
