Speaker 2: It's exciting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm telling you, if you have not watched The
Speaker 1: Real Housewives of Potomac, get on board because it's like
Speaker 1: it's the diamond of the franchise right now.
Speaker 2: Dam Yeah, I know you have two children and a wife,
Speaker 2: and I have two children and a fiance slash wife
Speaker 2: because she's basically my wife, Laala, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 2: squeeze in the first episode of season one. I expect
Speaker 2: you to do it this weekend too, and then we
Speaker 2: will text each other and ask do we think it's
Speaker 2: at the level that Lalla has just sold us? Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: that's our home.
Speaker 1: It's effortless. It's effortless.
Speaker 2: Pretty Balace is here, so he has to do the
Speaker 2: same job. So Alex, on Sunday we'll have a three
Speaker 2: way text on housewife is a Potomac. No, we need
Speaker 2: to be more educated because we're on a podcast with Laala,
Speaker 2: who is dialed in. So Alex, yeah, what does the
Speaker 2: Potomac refer to I'm.
Speaker 1: Just curious Maryland.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what a secure location.
Speaker 1: I cann't wait, it's the most random location.
Speaker 2: Just said Washington, d C. How far is Potomac from Washington?
Speaker 1: I believe relatively close. But then again, I'm really bad
Speaker 1: at geography, so don't ask me it's really close.
Speaker 2: Can we do one? Can we do one geography trivia
Speaker 2: game where Alex asked you two basic geography questions. If
Speaker 2: you can get Alex is by far Alex is the
Speaker 2: smartest in this world? Okay, down, all on? Oh god,
Speaker 2: Tim just gave us a question, gave a look like
Speaker 2: he could be smarter than you. Tim, I blow you
Speaker 2: away and I went to film school. Now let's go
Speaker 2: Alex Alex. Alex first asked Tim a question, a hard one,
Speaker 2: and then asked Lala. Geography question has to be in
Speaker 2: the United States for Laala could be anywhere in the world.
Speaker 2: For Tim, let's see, because I suck at geography and
Speaker 2: I openly admit it. Okay, go ahead. Is north Dakota
Speaker 2: east or west of Idaho?
Speaker 3: That's east?
Speaker 2: All right, I don't know if.
Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up?
Speaker 2: Okay, Next, go to Tim because Tim thinks he's a
Speaker 2: frigging genius. So let's see on the Dakotas. What is
Speaker 2: the capital of South Dakota. I mean, Tim, wait, hold on, Tim,
Speaker 2: you exactly prove my point. Geography is not the end
Speaker 2: all be all of intelligence. One more category, Tim, pick
Speaker 2: one more category.
Speaker 3: I don't need to sit here and answer to.
Speaker 2: All of you.
Speaker 1: I want to know what's amazing about it's amazing.
Speaker 2: Just all of exactly prove my point.
Speaker 1: Geography, math, sciences, whatever, it's just none of it is
Speaker 1: the end all be all you all. If I can
Speaker 1: walk out the front door and keep myself alive, I'd
Speaker 1: say I'm pretty fucking intelligent.
Speaker 2: I want to say something.
Speaker 1: I know I was not people who are very book
Speaker 1: smart and like they don't des moin des Moines, Iowa.
Speaker 2: People listen. I just want to say something. Can I
Speaker 2: say something? Laala to your point? You are right. Look
Speaker 2: I am. I consider myself pretty successful, and I was not.
Speaker 2: I was an artist kid. I was not the greatest
Speaker 2: student in school. My average is probably a C. I
Speaker 2: don't encourage that, but they're all. There are also there
Speaker 2: and bees in theater. There are also people who are
Speaker 2: book smart, like Bill Gates, who are billionaires.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, it goes and then you can
Speaker 1: just pay people to keep you alive. So that's dope.
Speaker 1: That's what I would do.
Speaker 2: All right. I'm glad we played trivia on the podcast.
Speaker 2: We will be back again trivia on the podcast.
Speaker 1: No, I hate trivia on the podcast. We're not doing
Speaker 1: it again. No, this is stupid.
Speaker 2: Okay, can we do one more question for Tim? Because
Speaker 2: it's really fun to watch them?
Speaker 1: One more and then I'm ready to talk.
Speaker 2: To you about and you're really smart, So here you
Speaker 2: go here, you're oh for one? Go ahead, Alex, there's
Speaker 2: another geography one. Yeah, Let's do the spelling bee. Let's
Speaker 2: do the spelling be one time for Tim. It's my favorite.
Speaker 2: Tim fails at the spelling bee. I didn't participate in
Speaker 2: the last spelling failed Tim, Good, No I didn't. I'm
Speaker 2: pretty going Tim, I'm okay at spelling. Okay, we'll see
Speaker 2: here we go Alex real quick, because we got a
Speaker 2: couple of minutes to kill before we bring our incredible
Speaker 2: guests out. This is this is fun. I think it's fun.
Speaker 1: I just as you get older, is that this is
Speaker 1: the definition of fun.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: I'm go into it. Okay, what's what's the word?
Speaker 2: This is to give him a real one out spell profundity? Oh,
Speaker 2: this is great, this is great profundity.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 2: Go p R O f U N D I T
Speaker 2: y k P the worst. Hold on, I'm the worst
Speaker 2: speller in the world, and I could have got that.
Speaker 2: You can't pick a harder one than that. That's that's like,
Speaker 2: that's like college below. When I was in elementary school,
Speaker 2: I knocked my best friend out of the spelling B
Speaker 2: with the word coco c O c o A. Yep,
Speaker 2: I'm serious. And he've held on to that level of
Speaker 2: spelling B for the l thirty years.
Speaker 1: How old are you?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Probably have a real one now ten okay, wow.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: It was a very early round of this one. Here
Speaker 2: we got that one doesn't count, so I'll give you
Speaker 2: one for one. You're one for one. Here here's the
Speaker 2: last one. This is the tie break camaraderie. Yes right
Speaker 2: here is tough. No, it is. And it's actually like
Speaker 2: an eleventh grade spelling word maybe tenth grade c O
Speaker 2: m is it. You already failed, that's it failed. So
Speaker 2: that's why that one, well, that one's not okay, I'm
Speaker 2: going to give Alex, but there's also it's like an
Speaker 2: ar word. Give me your phone for work? Yeah, c
Speaker 2: A m aar Alex, give your phone. Watch how good
Speaker 2: Alex is? And I hate giving him props because his
Speaker 2: ego is out of control. But here we go. Here
Speaker 2: we no, you won't No, you won't you You've got ready.
Speaker 2: Here we go. Furlough f you are l o U
Speaker 2: g h Okay, you win, Alex, You're.
Speaker 3: Better than wow.
Speaker 1: I would have said l O W.
Speaker 2: I could have spelled could. Let's take a phreak. The
Speaker 2: word furlough has been in the news every day for
Speaker 2: the past five months. I can spell for la.
Speaker 1: Wait because everyone's getting furlough.
Speaker 2: Because everyone's getting furloughed. Yeah, that's you're a little late today.
Speaker 1: All right. As much as as much fun as I've
Speaker 1: had during this boy time, spelling bee, you all are
Speaker 1: just smartest ship. I can't get over it. All right,
Speaker 1: when we get back, when we get back, we have
Speaker 1: Giselle Bryant. Yes, all right, we are back with my
Speaker 1: all time greatest crush besides Beyonce. They're like neck and neck.
Speaker 1: What's up, Jaseel Bryant?
Speaker 3: How are you? I can't believe I'm in the same
Speaker 3: category as Beyonce. I feel like, so.
Speaker 1: Oh, honey, you're there. Trust me. With a face like
Speaker 1: that and an ass that don't quit, I'm on a
Speaker 1: roll today.
Speaker 2: I just want to tell you something. First all, nice
Speaker 2: to meet you, Nice to me too. I have to
Speaker 2: tell you we over here are the producers and myself.
Speaker 2: I am a big Housewives fan, but I have not
Speaker 2: and I don't know why Lala has not educated me
Speaker 2: with your show. So we have homework this weekend and
Speaker 2: we are watching the first season. I said the first episode,
Speaker 2: but I meant the first season. So I am excited
Speaker 2: to hear about all the drama firsthand from you, and
Speaker 2: just how you got on the show and how that happened,
Speaker 2: and and and is it fun? Is it? You know,
Speaker 2: all the good stuff? And then when I watch it
Speaker 2: now this weekend.
Speaker 1: You'll have the back story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Lala, Lala told me all this shit that's
Speaker 2: already gone down.
Speaker 1: So Jizzelle, I told that Potomac is the diamond of
Speaker 1: the Housewives franchise right now, like y'all are killing it.
Speaker 2: She did say that.
Speaker 3: She did say, Okay, but if you if you start
Speaker 3: from season one. That's like so boring for where we
Speaker 3: are now?
Speaker 2: Basic, Yes, where should I start? Chazelle? Where should I start?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe start like yeah two and a half, like you know,
Speaker 4: midway through season two?
Speaker 2: Okay, Tim, two and a half, we're starting Alex two
Speaker 2: and a half. Yes, that is our homework assignment for
Speaker 2: this week and I can't wait.
Speaker 1: So yeah, tell tell us how the Real Housewives of
Speaker 1: Potomac came to be, because let's be honest, it's a
Speaker 1: super random place.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: It's so random. Okay, So what I think happened. What
Speaker 4: I've kind of heard rumors are that, you know, obviously
Speaker 4: they had the Real Housewives of DC that didn't work out,
Speaker 4: and years went by, and they wanted to come back
Speaker 4: to this area but didn't know really how to do it.
Speaker 4: So we were cast and we filmed an entire season
Speaker 4: if you can imagine, Islalla and they we did not
Speaker 4: know we were going to be housewives. So like, we
Speaker 4: filmed for months and we had no way.
Speaker 1: Do you think you were what did you think you
Speaker 1: were doing? Just like trying to make a show work.
Speaker 1: You didn't know that you were going to be a
Speaker 1: housewife like a part of the franchise.
Speaker 4: Had no idea, maybe it'll be housewives, maybe it'll be
Speaker 4: Ladies of because there's like Ladies of London, right, But
Speaker 4: you know, we were unsure. So apparently Andy saw you know,
Speaker 4: the cuts, and he loved.
Speaker 3: It and he was like, oh, these ladies are definitely housewives.
Speaker 4: They didn't tell us until literally, I don't know, five
Speaker 4: minutes before they told the rest of the world that
Speaker 4: we were going to be Housewives of And they couldn't
Speaker 4: figure out the name to give us, meaning we're in Maryland.
Speaker 3: Potomac is in Maryland. Okay, There's DC, which.
Speaker 4: Of course they couldn't touch that because you know that
Speaker 4: that didn't work out, right, There's Virginia, there's the DMV area.
Speaker 4: They didn't know what to call us, so they kind
Speaker 4: of like, did I guess their their research and they
Speaker 4: came up with Potomac, which is.
Speaker 3: Where at the time the majority of the Ladies lived.
Speaker 4: And it is random, it's so random, and la la,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you it. This Potomac is ninety five
Speaker 4: percent white, so oh my god, and so like we're
Speaker 4: we're the black Ladies are the representation of Potomac.
Speaker 3: So you can imagine how well that one when we
Speaker 3: first start.
Speaker 2: Oh man, oh man, you must have you must be
Speaker 2: running that city. You guys must be running that city.
Speaker 1: Oh you'll see, you'll see how they are. They're running everybody.
Speaker 2: Wait, let me ask questions. Do you live in Potanma, Potoma, Potomac?
Speaker 2: Do you live in Potomac still? Now?
Speaker 4: I actually live in Bethesda, which is like right next
Speaker 4: to Potomac.
Speaker 3: It's like a mile away.
Speaker 2: Oh and it's like.
Speaker 4: A little a little another little small town, but it's
Speaker 4: like right literally, I live seven minutes from DC.
Speaker 2: Okay, So that was my question because I just asked
Speaker 2: Alex here, one of our producers. I said, I said,
Speaker 2: how far are they from DC? So you're ten minutes
Speaker 2: max from d C. Yes, So when you go out,
Speaker 2: when you eat, when you go to bars, when they're open,
Speaker 2: and you hang out, you're going into d C.
Speaker 4: Basically, I assume, oh one, I mean, and I was
Speaker 4: I was raised in DC proper.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so this is making more sense, Like DC
Speaker 2: is cool, cool city? You know, you got it?
Speaker 1: And they probably would have named this franchise that or
Speaker 1: is this that our version did?
Speaker 2: That one didn't?
Speaker 1: It was was d C full of white women.
Speaker 4: They had one black girl, but yes, the rest were white,
Speaker 4: and so it was and they didn't from what I understand,
Speaker 4: they didn't know each other at all prior to the show,
Speaker 4: So it was kind of like they threw a bunch
Speaker 4: of random women together.
Speaker 3: They didn't know each other, which was which never right
Speaker 3: with us?
Speaker 4: Four of us out of the original six knew each
Speaker 4: other for years prior to the show. Wow, so we
Speaker 4: had the chemistry already baked in.
Speaker 1: That's the best when you get fighting in a bottle.
Speaker 1: When you can find a group of women who are like,
Speaker 1: have known each other forever on top of their strong personalities,
Speaker 1: the best it really is.
Speaker 2: I have to ask she just I just want to
Speaker 2: hear how they how you How did somebody just approach
Speaker 2: one person? Did somebody coming with an idea? Call producers?
Speaker 2: How does it evolve into the show with you, with
Speaker 2: all all of you women getting together on.
Speaker 1: The show, they were cast, all of them, and then
Speaker 1: they didn't know if they were going to be housewives
Speaker 1: or if it was going to be like Ladies of Potomac.
Speaker 2: Oh, they had no idea.
Speaker 1: They had no idea.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I'm just right, But the cat. They was
Speaker 3: asking the trackage, so.
Speaker 1: They were going to sell keep going.
Speaker 4: Giselle, the guy that casts the show, I actually have known.
Speaker 4: It's just coincidence. I've known him for like twenty years.
Speaker 4: So he calls me and he's like, Giselle, you're going
Speaker 4: to do the show. And I'm like what, No, not, and.
Speaker 3: So he was like, yes, you are, and that's that.
Speaker 4: So he said, I've already talked to Scharise and Charisa
Speaker 4: I knew, and Charisa knows everyone in Potomac everyone.
Speaker 3: Wow, so she.
Speaker 4: Was able to give the guy a whole lot of
Speaker 4: different women. And then I said, well, if I'm doing it,
Speaker 4: Robin's doing it, and so I got Robin involved. And
Speaker 4: then I knew Karen and I were in a children's
Speaker 4: group together, so I was like, okay, Karen was already
Speaker 4: on board.
Speaker 3: So then they filled in the rest. So it just
Speaker 3: it just worked.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's very cool.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that's it. You're gonna watch over your
Speaker 1: new favorite show. So are you Are you and miss
Speaker 1: Karen doing well or is your friendship still rocky? Like
Speaker 1: what is it like this season? Can you tease? I
Speaker 1: know the drill, I know the Bravo drill, So without
Speaker 1: filling it all, just give me a little little sippy.
Speaker 4: We ebb and flow as we this season, as we
Speaker 4: normally do. However, I don't particularly like the way that
Speaker 4: we ended the season, so I straight up have not
Speaker 4: spoken to her since we stopped filming.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, that's juice. You're gonna see what I'm
Speaker 1: telling you what I can't.
Speaker 2: Wait to see. Wait, what was the fight about, like why.
Speaker 3: They fell out?
Speaker 4: Yeah, me and her, Yeah, it was it dealt with
Speaker 4: respect and I felt like she disrespected me, and that's
Speaker 4: what I don't tolerate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like that either.
Speaker 1: By the way, that's when it all goes south.
Speaker 2: I have friends that you know, will disrespect me, you
Speaker 2: know that I've known for even a long time, and
Speaker 2: that's the only thing that really just sets me off
Speaker 2: because it's like I always am one of those givers,
Speaker 2: Like I always want to help my friends and bring
Speaker 2: them up and do what I can do, and the
Speaker 2: minute they just take advantage or disrespect, it's like it's
Speaker 2: not worth it for me. That's the end, exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I feel exactly. I feel the.
Speaker 3: Same, and especially when you're on a show together.
Speaker 4: So you know, she knows personal things that have been
Speaker 4: off camera about me and me I know about her
Speaker 4: that we'll never cross the line and kind of like
Speaker 4: be disrespectful on camera with it. And I just felt
Speaker 4: like there's a level of respect for our friendship that
Speaker 4: she disregarded and I didn't.
Speaker 3: I don't like that.
Speaker 1: Oh, so you feel like she went into a territory
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be left off camera? Is that
Speaker 1: what you're saying.
Speaker 3: No, she didn't do that, But she didn't. She didn't.
Speaker 3: She just didn't ride for me like I I have
Speaker 3: written for her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can understand that. So I have a question
Speaker 1: when you started this show, what are you We're on
Speaker 1: season five right, Yeah, season five is airing now. Did
Speaker 1: it take a minute to adjust? Because I know with
Speaker 1: my cast, and I'm sure I'll get in trouble for
Speaker 1: saying this. I know certain things that my cast members
Speaker 1: have told me that I would not mention on the show,
Speaker 1: just because I think there's just a level of privacy
Speaker 1: that we have to you know, I still want these
Speaker 1: people to be my friends when the show.
Speaker 2: Things happen during filming, So it's.
Speaker 1: Like, correct, correct? Did you find it hard where it
Speaker 1: was like, there are certain things that I don't really
Speaker 1: want to discuss for the world to watch. Did like
Speaker 1: did you have to get used to that?
Speaker 3: Of course, of course, But.
Speaker 4: You know season one we were really kind of like
Speaker 4: lightweight and it was never anything that was too out
Speaker 4: of bounds. However, as time goes by, you know, this
Speaker 4: stuff gets to the press. So once it's public with
Speaker 4: regards to press, it's we got to.
Speaker 3: Talk about it, right. You can't cannot talk about it right.
Speaker 4: So that's kind of where the seasons have have changed
Speaker 4: and the information has changed, and it's kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 4: I can't sit here and act like I haven't read
Speaker 4: the blogs because now I know all about your husband
Speaker 4: and what he's doing, you know, with Karen and her
Speaker 4: whole tax thing, like that was in the Washington Post
Speaker 4: that her husband owed the irs like five million dollars, Like, there's.
Speaker 3: No way we can't talk about it. I have to
Speaker 3: talk about it.
Speaker 1: Wow, No, I'm telling you, Like, when I watch y'all show,
Speaker 1: it's like real shit. Yeah, you know, I'm like, where
Speaker 1: are we going here? Like, oh, they're going there right now?
Speaker 4: Yes, And I feel like, you know, we can't get
Speaker 4: away with Connor I feel like Beverly Hills, like the
Speaker 4: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I love those ladies. I
Speaker 4: think that they are funny and they you know, they
Speaker 4: are dripping in diamonds and pearls.
Speaker 3: I love it. But they argue over literally nothing like zero.
Speaker 1: Like lucy apple juicy. It's like, give me some real meat.
Speaker 4: Yes, whereas we couldn't get away with that if our
Speaker 4: life depended on it.
Speaker 2: Like I gotta agree with you. I do watch that show,
Speaker 2: and and Lawa is glued to all of these real housewives.
Speaker 2: And when I watch, they're fighting over like did you did?
Speaker 2: Were you out of line at the last party? I
Speaker 2: can't believe what you said? You were disrespided. It's like
Speaker 2: to me, it's like it's not that heavy, you know,
Speaker 2: but they're make it like it's the end of the world.
Speaker 2: So I mean to see you're cast and what and
Speaker 2: how heavy it gets because that's not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we we get into it, and especially this season
Speaker 4: and a maybe like five more episodes, we really get into.
Speaker 3: What's really in it right now, which is.
Speaker 4: You know, the whole black lives matter, and we could
Speaker 4: have never known that, you know, the world would have
Speaker 4: exploded like it did with regards to Black Lives Matter.
Speaker 4: But in the show, we just talk about what it
Speaker 4: means to be a black woman and and how important
Speaker 4: that is and how we're viewed in this country, and
Speaker 4: like all of that came up and yeah.
Speaker 3: That's like really heavy stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, big time. And I think it's phenomenal that you
Speaker 2: guys you know, confronted in your show, because yes, I
Speaker 2: think we need a lot more of that. So and
Speaker 2: I hope to see that a lot more in television.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to deep dive into what you were
Speaker 1: just talking about. We're going to take a short break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back with Jazell Bryant. We are
Speaker 1: back with my favorite Real housewife, Miss ji Zel Bryant.
Speaker 1: Hi baby, Hi. So before the break, you were telling
Speaker 1: us that in a few weeks on the show, you
Speaker 1: ladies will get to address black Lives matter. What was
Speaker 1: that like for you as it you know, even on
Speaker 1: when we see Watch What Happens Live and you now
Speaker 1: do a show that is about this not being a moment,
Speaker 1: it being a real movement. I watch your Instagram a lot, like,
Speaker 1: what is this like for you as a black woman
Speaker 1: to be such a force behind this movement.
Speaker 3: I think that it's great that we have this.
Speaker 4: Platform, or that I'll speak personally, that I have this
Speaker 4: platform to use my voice to bring awareness to things
Speaker 4: that people overlook. You know, I've had so many issues
Speaker 4: with my children and just and just them in school
Speaker 4: and just you know, some things that the white kids
Speaker 4: say to them.
Speaker 3: That's horrible. But now finally.
Speaker 4: The world is listening, which is a beautiful thing. So
Speaker 4: in the show, there was an altercation and afterwards, you know,
Speaker 4: which was horrible, But afterwards it allowed us to really
Speaker 4: talk about how we conduct ourselves and how we handle
Speaker 4: ourselves as black women in this country because we are overlooked,
Speaker 4: we are paid less, we are treated like the lowest
Speaker 4: man on the totem pole, and we don't ever want
Speaker 4: to put ourselves on national television and show the world
Speaker 4: what you already think of us, which is that we're
Speaker 4: not capable of discussing things without fighting, without violence, without
Speaker 4: being forceful. So it was it was a great conversation
Speaker 4: and hopefully it'll be really well received.
Speaker 1: You know what I know, obviously I haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: but that is actually in the trailer when you they're
Speaker 1: like doing a montage of all of these things like
Speaker 1: a fight scene that's cutting in and out, and what
Speaker 1: you say sent chills up my body?
Speaker 3: Did it?
Speaker 1: It really did, because you know, I'm obviously a white
Speaker 1: person who collapse back very quickly and I don't have
Speaker 1: to think like that Giselle, you know, And so when
Speaker 1: you said that, it was like, wow, Like these women
Speaker 1: are really shedding light on things that people that look
Speaker 1: like me don't think about because we've ever had to.
Speaker 1: And you know, you're You're one of the first people
Speaker 1: that I called when this movement happened and things went
Speaker 1: sideways with some of the vander Pump Rules casts. I
Speaker 1: just was like reaching for any sort of knowledge that
Speaker 1: I that I could get. So I really want to
Speaker 1: thank you for that.
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, And you know, as we all moved down
Speaker 4: this road, it's just like we could just have to
Speaker 4: have the conversations because it really opens everybody's eyes to
Speaker 4: what's really going on in this country. So hopefully we
Speaker 4: can get to a better place. That's all we're asking,
Speaker 4: just to get to a better place.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I love watching your stories and I love seeing
Speaker 1: you with your girls and what you guys are doing
Speaker 1: so good damn work. I want to I want to
Speaker 1: move on to pastor Jamal Bryant. Yes, okay, So I
Speaker 1: was telling Randall, I'm like, no, you don't understand, like
Speaker 1: they were married, got divorced, her kids were like confused
Speaker 1: when they got back together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's I want you to spill all the wice.
Speaker 2: She just flew right over that like it's like a
Speaker 2: standard because I was trying to just process what you
Speaker 2: just said. I mean you just like, oh, yeah, got married,
Speaker 2: got more, got back together seven years later. I mean,
Speaker 2: slow it down, Let's start with the beginning.
Speaker 1: Hold on Jesselle was She's going to give you the gi.
Speaker 2: I just want to ask the question.
Speaker 1: They asked the question.
Speaker 2: You married a many all in love, had children? Correct? Okay, correct?
Speaker 2: Then seven that, then seven years later, got divorced? Correct?
Speaker 2: And then how many years later from that did you reconnect?
Speaker 2: And twelve years year? Oh my god, I got no more.
Speaker 2: This is too good. Okay, break it down for us.
Speaker 2: Break it down. So this happens.
Speaker 3: Throughout throughout the twelve years.
Speaker 4: You know, I had to make a decision and say, Okay,
Speaker 4: do I am I just going to be mad for
Speaker 4: the rest of my life, or do I really want
Speaker 4: to give my girls the opportunity to have like a
Speaker 4: real decent family unit. So I put my love for
Speaker 4: my children over me being mad at him with regards
Speaker 4: to the divorce.
Speaker 3: Does that make sense? Yes? Okay, So then you know,
Speaker 3: time goes by. I'm growing and evolving. He's growing and evolving,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 4: I I'm growing into this like bad bitch that I am, and.
Speaker 2: That's amazing. Part of the whole episode is great.
Speaker 4: And then you know, and he's also growing and evolving
Speaker 4: with his career and throughout the twelve years, you know,
Speaker 4: we remain tight as friends.
Speaker 2: All on a second. Okay, so I know in twelve
Speaker 2: years of being co parents and amazing children in separate homes,
Speaker 2: do you ever hook up?
Speaker 3: Going there? Okay, No, that's no. That's a really good
Speaker 3: question and the answer is no.
Speaker 2: I can't. This is amazing. That's even more amazing that
Speaker 2: you close a chapter in your life. I understand the
Speaker 2: co parenting. And then at some point, how does this
Speaker 2: go down? Like how does this happen?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm I'm clearly dating other people.
Speaker 4: And doing my things and he's doing that too, So
Speaker 4: I think it happened because of that, because we did
Speaker 4: our thing without hooking up. And without like, Okay, you
Speaker 4: know he's just going to put his pinky toe in
Speaker 4: and test the waters. No, we were clearly living our
Speaker 4: separate lives, of course co parenting, but that allowed both
Speaker 4: of us to grow in our own space.
Speaker 3: Okay, so then you know, I don't know. I think
Speaker 3: I woke up one day and was I mean, he
Speaker 3: would always of course, Randall, you know you know how
Speaker 3: y'all do. He would always throw it out.
Speaker 2: Dude, You're amazing. You are amazing. No, okay, so as
Speaker 2: a dude, as a dude, that's all I wanted to know.
Speaker 2: As a dude, you're saying, you guys are super close.
Speaker 2: Over the twelve years, you're obviously both growing, you're both evolving,
Speaker 2: and then you're, I want to call it your more
Speaker 2: mature selves twelve years later kind of fall into line
Speaker 2: where the attraction is there again. I guess, yeah, yes, wow,
Speaker 2: you you broke it down. I do because can I
Speaker 2: tell you something, I've never heard of this, and I
Speaker 2: do know that Don Johnson and Melanie Griffeth that's the
Speaker 2: only couple that I'm like kind of aware of that
Speaker 2: did this kind of thing. Okay, let let's just talk
Speaker 2: about that percentages of this happening divorce in America, unfortunately,
Speaker 2: is fifty eight percent or something like that. Somewhere in
Speaker 2: this high bracket of the fifties or sixties, I would
Speaker 2: say that chances of reconciliation is probably point zero zero
Speaker 2: zero zero er zero one. So it's just you're an
Speaker 2: anomaly at the highest level, and that's why I'm so
Speaker 2: just intrigued how it happened. But okay, so now twelve
Speaker 2: years later, you've mature, he's mature. You're a badass, he's
Speaker 2: a badass. You both are ballers and yeah, and you're
Speaker 2: saying all along. He's like trying to get like Friday
Speaker 2: night colms. You're having a few drinks. He's like, can't
Speaker 2: sleep over. You're like no, So he keeps putting it
Speaker 2: out there. But eventually what happens that you you put
Speaker 2: the wall down or the connection makes sense.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm okay, Okay, so let's let me back
Speaker 4: up and clean some stuff up a little bit, because
Speaker 4: it was never.
Speaker 3: Like had too many drinks? Can I spend the night?
Speaker 4: No, it was more like, you know, I can't wait
Speaker 4: to roll you, you know, push your what do you
Speaker 4: call those things?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Push your wheelchair when we get old together? You know that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was none of that four cocktails in just
Speaker 2: being like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I really want to know, are in there
Speaker 1: more mature selves?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: I got it? And yes, and your husband's a pastor.
Speaker 2: I forgetting so.
Speaker 3: Yes, and he so he doesn't drink, but I do.
Speaker 2: I just forgot about that. So I screwed up. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: so he's like a unicorn. He's like the perfect ex husband.
Speaker 2: There you go, yes and yes, absolutely Okay. So now
Speaker 2: he says, I want to push your wheel try, I
Speaker 2: want to grow old with you, and yeah, in this
Speaker 2: moment in your life where you look at him and.
Speaker 4: Say, so, I am at this point where I'm like,
Speaker 4: you know what, who do I want to grow old with?
Speaker 3: Who do I want to travel the world with? Who
Speaker 3: do I want to share my life with?
Speaker 4: Because you know, I'm doing some great things out here
Speaker 4: and I want to share it with somebody.
Speaker 3: And there was.
Speaker 4: No other person that I could even possibly think of
Speaker 4: than him.
Speaker 3: That's number one. Number two.
Speaker 4: I was listening to an interview and I can't remember
Speaker 4: who interviewed them, but it was Shawnnie O'Neill and Evelyn Lozada.
Speaker 1: Okay from basketball wives.
Speaker 4: From basketball wives, And the guy asked them, is that
Speaker 4: you guys right? If you guys got locked up in jail,
Speaker 4: who would you call? You had one call, who would
Speaker 4: you call to get you out? And both of them
Speaker 4: said their ex husbands. Seannie was like Shaquille and Evelyn
Speaker 4: was like Chad. And I was like Jamal, Like there's
Speaker 4: nobody but Jamal to get me out of jail because
Speaker 4: I know he will die to protect me and to
Speaker 4: take care of me and to make sure that I'm
Speaker 4: that I'm good. So you know, when I started coming
Speaker 4: into myself and realizing like what I want from my life,
Speaker 4: it just you know, of course, it just makes sense.
Speaker 3: The love is still there. And he then moved away.
Speaker 3: He moved to.
Speaker 2: Atlanta, Okay, and nothing had happened yet, correct, Like, you
Speaker 2: guys now get to this place, this sweet time that's
Speaker 2: away being kind to each other. Got it?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: And then I realized I didn't want him away, Like
Speaker 4: you know, he moved to Atlanta and I was like,
Speaker 4: holy shit, he's gone. And then that made me really
Speaker 4: shift and be like wait a minute, this no, like
Speaker 4: let's fix this.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and that's when you reached out and you said,
Speaker 2: let's take a shot at this. I mean, I just
Speaker 2: want to know that the actual how it.
Speaker 3: And I can't. I don't have that magical moment for you, Randall.
Speaker 4: But we just started talking about us being back together,
Speaker 4: and then we took it seriously because we were like, Okay,
Speaker 4: if we're going to do this, we have to like
Speaker 4: make sure we're very intentional. So we went to see
Speaker 4: we sought counseling and you know, try to really get
Speaker 4: in a good headspace to make sure because you know,
Speaker 4: it's this whole trust thing that you got to rebuild
Speaker 4: and all of that good stuff that you got to
Speaker 4: make sure you pay attention to.
Speaker 2: But you know what's cool because obviously this doesn't happen,
Speaker 2: and it's, like I said, anomaly. What's neat is that
Speaker 2: for twelve years you both evolved to completely different people,
Speaker 2: but your completely different selves were more in sync than
Speaker 2: your previous selves. I guess it seems like so when
Speaker 2: you twelve years later, when you really got together again,
Speaker 2: it seems like you both were just like spiritually in
Speaker 2: the same place. Yes, I guess I think that's amazing.
Speaker 2: I think it's a true love story and I just.
Speaker 1: Have to put I just have to put this out
Speaker 1: there because she has three girls. Yeah, and they were
Speaker 1: like this is weird, like because they never knew. Yes,
Speaker 1: how how are they doing with it now?
Speaker 2: Yeah? How do how do kids respond to this?
Speaker 3: Just that way?
Speaker 1: There?
Speaker 3: This is weird.
Speaker 4: This is you know, we know what happened in the past,
Speaker 4: and we want to make you know their.
Speaker 3: Team mommy like no other. But no, they're good. They
Speaker 3: love their dad and they're good.
Speaker 2: So how long have you been back together? Now?
Speaker 3: It's been a couple of years. I tried to hide
Speaker 3: it for as long as I possibly could. You know
Speaker 3: how that is to try to hide? Yeah, you're real life?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Wait did Laala hide anything on the show?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I know how.
Speaker 1: I know the drill, you duck and dodge the truth for.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then it's like, okay, fine, you gotta you
Speaker 4: gotta deal with it.
Speaker 3: So for for a couple of years now, yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, Wow, I am I am very this is Does
Speaker 2: this now a question? And maybe I'm just be naive?
Speaker 2: Does this come out on the show and in any
Speaker 2: of the show. Does this whole rekindling happen on the show?
Speaker 4: It happened prior to us filming, so so not really no.
Speaker 1: But last year's last season's reunion is when Andy was like,
Speaker 1: who are you dating? Like I've heard it maybe somebody
Speaker 1: would you like to tell me? And isn't that when
Speaker 1: you were like, I'm dating my ex husband?
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, no, I was like what huhah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but people to be to be honest with you,
Speaker 3: people that Noah's are like so super excited.
Speaker 1: I mean, how could you not just listening? Do you
Speaker 1: talk about how you guys like went off and did
Speaker 1: your thing. And my mom always said, you can never
Speaker 1: be with someone if if you only equal one hundred percent,
Speaker 1: you each have to equal one hundred percent to make
Speaker 1: two hundred. He can't be your other half. You have
Speaker 1: to already be a whole person, saying well, I'm like.
Speaker 2: Five hundred percent, so there you go.
Speaker 1: Oh god, you go right.
Speaker 3: I totally agree with that. I totally agree with that.
Speaker 4: And then my mother always told me that I should
Speaker 4: never be a man's first wife. I should be his
Speaker 4: second wife, and technically I would be if we got
Speaker 4: married again.
Speaker 1: Wow, how lucky is that to be? That's amazing?
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, I agree with one hundred percent
Speaker 2: thing because I feel like like you and I like
Speaker 2: today where I'm at my life and where you are, Like,
Speaker 2: we're strong forces and we are our own people, and
Speaker 2: yes we will break down for one another to be
Speaker 2: there for each other, but we will always hold the
Speaker 2: line on who we are and not let the other
Speaker 2: swallow the other person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Randall always likes to ask, do you need me,
Speaker 1: la La? I'm like, no, really, I want you, but
Speaker 1: I don't need anybody, baby, that's what But that is
Speaker 1: what you want, Like, that's that's perfect.
Speaker 3: I think that the first time when we were married, I.
Speaker 4: He swallowed me up, like and I by design, not
Speaker 4: by design, but I decided to kind of put all
Speaker 4: my focus and concentration on him because he was building
Speaker 4: his business and he was building his church, and I
Speaker 4: was there to help him. So I think, and as
Speaker 4: I look back, that that probably was not good.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, how can that be good? You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy for you to say that because you're
Speaker 1: such a strong force, like when you and I have
Speaker 1: spoken or when I watch you on the show, like
Speaker 1: I would never think that any man could you know,
Speaker 1: swallow you up? When you know it's like shocking.
Speaker 2: Later and now now exactly like kind of like where
Speaker 2: we're at, Like we each have our identities and we
Speaker 2: embrace them versus one of us try to eat it up.
Speaker 1: Giselle, do you feel like this show gave you more confidence?
Speaker 4: I had it before, but it like amplified it from
Speaker 4: the perspective of I was so season one.
Speaker 3: You know, you never know what's going to happen.
Speaker 4: You never know how you're going to be perceived, And
Speaker 4: I really was like a little terrified, like are people
Speaker 4: gonna like me? Are they gonna hate me? Are they
Speaker 4: going to think I'm just stuck up? Or are they
Speaker 4: going to understand my jokes? So I realized that I
Speaker 4: can't even worry about that, Like I'm confident I'm a
Speaker 4: bad one and I'm just gonna walk my walk.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: I love it. Before we run out of time, I
Speaker 2: just want to talk about your makeup brand every huge. Yes,
Speaker 2: So you launched this in twenty sixteen. Tell us about that,
Speaker 2: because that's exciting because Lala, you know, launched a brand,
Speaker 2: and I love I love to hear about strong women
Speaker 2: who are who don't have their own companies. So break
Speaker 2: it down for.
Speaker 4: Us by the way, thank you, Lola for what you
Speaker 4: sent me. I was going to thank you at the end,
Speaker 4: but like I love my lips. My kids were trying
Speaker 4: to steal what you sent me and I'm like, back
Speaker 4: up off my lipstick.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Oh you are so sweet. I'm so happy that you
Speaker 1: love it. Thank you.
Speaker 3: You're quite welcome.
Speaker 4: So I started every huge beauty to basically help out
Speaker 4: women of color because like when you go through through
Speaker 4: the beauty world, a lot of times, most things that
Speaker 4: are out there don't match our skin complexion. Until Finty
Speaker 4: came along, Like Cinty really changed the game the world. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and Fenty made everyone else, everyone like big box stores, realize, Okay,
Speaker 4: we've got to have stuff in here for black women
Speaker 4: because the.
Speaker 3: There that Fenty just blew that market up. So that's it.
Speaker 3: And we were in Target and it was a beautiful relationship.
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about COVID.
Speaker 1: Okay, so not part Covid.
Speaker 3: Has killed our manufacturer.
Speaker 4: So that's actually where we are right now, Like our
Speaker 4: manufacturers shut down. We haven't been able. We don't know
Speaker 4: when they'll be back up. And because I have skincare,
Speaker 4: meaning I have products that that have to be I
Speaker 4: have SPF in my product and all that has to
Speaker 4: be approved by the FDA and all that stuff. I
Speaker 4: can't really just like move to another manufacturer overnight. So
Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure that out, guys. But Covid is
Speaker 4: a beast because it has really put a monkey wrench
Speaker 4: in every beauty.
Speaker 1: It's put a wrench in a and I hate to say, like, well,
Speaker 1: misery loves company, that's just the same. But it does
Speaker 1: feel good to be like, Okay, at least I'm not
Speaker 1: the only one that's affected. It makes me feel less
Speaker 1: badly that things aren't moving the way that they used to.
Speaker 2: Ye for everybody, no, everybody, like not at all.
Speaker 4: And I never thought that this would be a problem.
Speaker 4: Like I never thought, Okay, the pandemic has hit. Cool,
Speaker 4: I get you know, you'll be shut down. But it
Speaker 4: affected my manufacturer to the point where I don't know
Speaker 4: if they'll ever come back up.
Speaker 3: And it's kind of like, okay, we got to figure
Speaker 3: this out.
Speaker 2: Well that I think. I think that's that's interesting to
Speaker 2: say it because everybody goes through like where we were,
Speaker 2: like Okay, it'll be a month, it'll be two months, Okay,
Speaker 2: it's three months. Now it's six, now it's nine, and
Speaker 2: you're right, a lot of people have not will not
Speaker 2: come back. A lot of my partners that I've worked
Speaker 2: with also, you know, I've suffered where they haven't. They
Speaker 2: are not going to be able to come back. And
Speaker 2: it's crazy how we have to, you know, figure out
Speaker 2: the future.
Speaker 1: And and yes, I am so grateful that you found
Speaker 1: time to be on our show. You know, I've been
Speaker 1: trying to get you on here for a minute. You're
Speaker 1: just amazing.

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