I would have accepted it 36 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: as a compliment because it's an extra check. The problem 37 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: is she continued by saying, oh, and I can't even 38 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 3: get in get into why I think she's the Trader 39 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: because it would be too deep, too dark.

Does that bother you how 63 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: their relationship? Because sometimes we feel like, what I don't 64 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: mess with her? 65 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: So was he? 66 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: So it doesn't bother me that they get along.

If 71 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm venting about somebody at something, I'm not venting for 72 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: you to respond and defend them, right. 73 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: I want you to listen and then maybe later on. 74 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: But men don't know they are trying to fix the problem, 75 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 3: and so he's always trying to get me to see 76 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 3: quad in a different light or not take things so 77 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 3: personally and so deeply. 78 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: You think she's the one person that kind of gets 79 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: under your skin or has the ability to do that 80 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: the most. 81 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 3: I think so, yes, I think she's number one. And 82 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 3: then I think Heavenly, because Heavenly you dog me out 83 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: behind my bag. But then she'll call like, hey, girl, 84 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: let's go to lunch. But I'm like, which is it? 85 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 3: You know? 86 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: I think what Heavenly is that she knows how to 87 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: make things interesting, and I feel like that's how she 88 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: looks at it. 89 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 3: I don't think that's interesting, though, that you're online dragging 90 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 3: each of your castmates. I don't know anybody on any 91 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: show that they have a full time job dragging their castmates. 92 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: Well, she is not a main one on this season, 93 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: but she's got some things going on. It's interesting to 94 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: me that this would be the season when she's running 95 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: for office and then she's got drama, family drama with 96 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: her son. 97 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: It feels like this would be the time to be. 98 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: And it should have been the time that she should 99 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: be main cast. But Heavenly traditionally isn't really talking about 100 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: what's going on behind those doors, those big rod iron doors. 101 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 3: She's keeping everything a secret, like, oh, life's so perfect, 102 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 3: and my marriage is so perfect. Anybody who's in a relationship, 103 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 3: you know that your relationship is up and down daily 104 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 3: because things happen. You agree today, Tomorrow you wake up 105 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 3: there's a disagreement. But she's pretended like, oh no, my 106 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 3: marriage is amazing, you know. 107 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: But I do think the drama with her son that's difficult, 108 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: Like that is absolutely that is and I appreciated that 109 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: people were like, let's not let's touch that's a touchy, 110 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: touchy topic and something that. And I saw her say 111 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: that she didn't have any issues with addressing yet I 112 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: saw her maybe she was talking to Carlos King. I 113 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: can't remember where I saw, but she was saying that 114 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: wasn't true, that she didn't have any issues in talking 115 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: about it. 116 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 3: Well, I think if they didn't have any issues talking 117 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 3: about it, it would have been addressed two years ago 118 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: when he first got arrested. But instead she is pretending 119 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,119 Speaker 3: as if she found out by scrolling on social media 120 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: other years after he got arrested. Girl by No we 121 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: are connected in Atlanta with lawyers, judges. Everybody knows everybody, 122 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 3: So don't pretend with me that your kid's been arrested 123 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: and you don't know. 124 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: Well, listen, in the positive side of things, the Medgala, 125 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: that's something that you guys have popularized.

But that pain from fibroids 260 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 3: can really be debilitating. And you don't know how many 261 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 3: times I have to handhold with the patient for her 262 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 3: to realize you have to do something about the fibroids 263 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 3: and you might not want surgery, but you better look 264 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 3: at it. You you doing an artery embolization, like you 265 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: need to do something, and just suffering through it is 266 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 3: not the answer. Yeah. 267 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: I think sometimes we feel like periods are supposed to 268 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: be painful. We get so used to it. We're just like, 269 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, I can't come to work today because my 270 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: period is starting, and your period for a long time, like, all. 271 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 3: Of that's abnormal. You should not be off from work 272 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 3: every month secondary to a naturally occurring menstrual cycle. Shouldn't 273 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 3: happen period well, period. 274 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: Now another person's Sweet Tea. 275 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: Have you been speaking to her? Obviously she's not on 276 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: this new season. She has exited the show and now 277 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: Quad is here, and that was part of the issues 278 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: that Quad had with you also, right, you just kind 279 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: of key. 280 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: King with Sweet Tea. 281 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: Do you see that point of view of hers, because 282 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: some people will say it's not comparable, like the Traders remark, 283 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: and then you talking about her finances with Sweet Tea, 284 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: who is her ex husband's you woman. 285 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 3: Yes, I can understand how Quad feels, but I think 286 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 3: Quad isn't taken accountability for the fact that she and 287 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 3: I don't hang anymore. And Cie Say and Gregory have 288 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 3: been friends the entire time, playing golf the entire time. 289 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: And Sweet Tea was not the first woman that I 290 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: saw him date or was around that he was dating. 291 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 3: And so when he fell in love with Sweet Tea 292 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: decided to marry her, I'm like, she's nice. I enjoyed 293 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 3: my time with her, and it wasn't like I'm spending 294 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 3: time with Quad and Sweet Tea. Quad turns her back 295 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 3: on the people. And when you do that, why can't 296 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: I spend time with your ex's new woman. 297 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 2: You know? 298 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: I think sometimes maybe it was hard for her to 299 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: be around the same people too. 300 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 3: I think it was hard. And initially season ten, when 301 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 3: they were on the show together, I didn't think it 302 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 3: was hard, but they were never in the same room 303 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 3: until the finale, until the medgala, and it was awkwards. 304 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 3: But I was like, Okay, it's doable. And then season 305 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: eleven taught us all it's not doable. It is not duable. 306 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: Do you like King? 307 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 3: I love King and I love him for I love 308 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 3: their chemistry together. I love them together. 309 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: With fractured, with that relationship with you two being fractured, 310 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: do you see it because you know, in the episode two, 311 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: we did see you guys get in a better space 312 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: and hug it out. 313 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: Yes, And I know. 314 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: You all have been filming, so you already know how 315 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: the story ends. But do you see this as something 316 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: that can be repaired or do you think it's something 317 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: that will never be the same? 318 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 3: I think Quad and I could get our relationship even 319 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: back to where it was, because there was a point 320 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: where I felt like we never could.

It was 340 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: great that everybody showed up because we know that for 341 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: a lot of us dogs I like family members. 342 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: Did you think it was like this is a lot? 343 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 3: Yes? I thought it was a lot. And when she 344 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 3: asked me to bring my dogs, I was like really 345 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:37,479 Speaker 3: because they not well trained dogs. Mine were barking at 346 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 3: other dogs. So it was tough breaking the dogs. But 347 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 3: I Bailey's has been a part of Toya's life for 348 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 3: seventeen years. 349 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 2: That's a long time. That is a teenage yes. 350 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 3: And I had never been to a doggy funeral. Was like, 351 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 3: what the hell when she invited me? But it turned 352 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 3: out beautifully, It really did. 353 00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: It was beautiful. 354 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I was pleasantly surprised, and she 355 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 3: asked us to wear white, but then she expected my 356 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 3: dogs to sit too. I'm like, girl, you lucky these 357 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: dogs are here. 358 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: Okay. 359 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: So I want to ask you, as you know, outside 360 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: of this, because I know you do a lot when 361 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: it comes to like philanthropy and giving back, and you 362 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: already talked about mentoring. Is this something that is going 363 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: to be like a structured nonprofit that you're going to 364 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: be doing or how is that going to work? 365 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 3: I don't know that. I am willing to take on 366 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 3: the stress of a nonprofit. I am willing to help 367 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 3: others and what they're doing, and I'm gonna have so 368 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 3: much more free time to help. But I do not 369 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 3: want to pick up any other habits, hobbies, anything that's 370 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,719 Speaker 3: going to be stressful in my life moving forward. I 371 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 3: truly want a stress free year. 372 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 2: You guys do investing too, though, right, absolutely? 373 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: Okay, that's a little stressful too, though, because real estate 374 00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: investing can be. 375 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 3: It's fun though. It is fun looking at all the 376 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 3: different properties and the neighborhoods and looking at where the 377 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 3: city of Atlanta puts their money and it's helping growth. 378 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 3: That is very I find that fascinating and not so stressful. 379 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 3: I bought a condo a couple of years ago. It 380 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 3: took us a year to sell it. We were calling 381 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 3: ourselves doing a fixer upper. So we did the renovations 382 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 3: and it took us a year to get that sucker sold. 383 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 3: But my end, we barely broke even. But it was 384 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 3: a lesson. I wasn't angry or mad, you know. Once 385 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 3: we got it sold and looking forward to taking on 386 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 3: a project like that again. 387 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is interesting. 388 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: It's an education though, because you learn from all the 389 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: things that because I feel like whenever somebody does things 390 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: like that, the first few times you don't get it 391 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: all the way right right, but then you meet the 392 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 1: right people, you meet the right contractors, you understand the 393 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: right materials. Because sometimes I know, for me, I always 394 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: want to do stuff at this grand scale. But then 395 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: when you're buying something knowing you're gonna sell it, it's 396 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 1: not the smartest thing to do. 397 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 3: Is not on such a grand square. But we have 398 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 3: a great contractor. We also have another couple that's a business. 399 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 3: Their business partners with us. They flip properties already, right, 400 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 3: so they were experienced. It was just this property, it 401 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 3: just was not the right one. And so I'm looking 402 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: forward to trying it again. 403 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, because real estate is not always a short shot too. 404 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: I think people go into it thinking like I'm investing 405 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: this clip it, sell it, make some money. A lot 406 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: of times it's not as smooth as you would hope, yea, 407 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: and what they're going through with maybe you should help 408 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: them out. 409 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 3: No, I'm not getting anybody else's business. They already get 410 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 3: mad because I will look up the price of their building, 411 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: or if you bragging about how much you paid for 412 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 3: your house, I'll be like, oh, did she really sell 413 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 3: the house for a million? Already mad that I look 414 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 3: up public records, They're already mad. So I cannot offer 415 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 3: any advice. You know, being our. 416 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: Reality TV is hard because I feel like there is 417 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: this perception that you have to kind of keep up with, 418 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, and. 419 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 3: I've never I've been in my same home twenty five years. 420 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 2: You're not moving. 421 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 3: I'm moving. I would love to be driving a Rolls Royce, 422 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 3: but that's it's not practical to be rolling around Atlanta 423 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 3: in a Rolls Royce with a three, four or five 424 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 3: thousand dollars a month car. Note, it just is not practical, 425 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 3: doesn't make sense. And I'm looking for the day I 426 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: do not have to work, right, And those are the 427 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 3: decisions I'm making. 428 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 2: How long do you think you are from? How far 429 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 2: away you thinking? Five years? Okay, so you have a four. 430 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 3: Point five to be exact, I'm counting down, but at 431 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 3: fifty eight, you gotta be looking forward to the countdown. 432 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 3: I don't want to work for the rest of my life, right, 433 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 3: you want to enjoy it. 434 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, I like that you have. 435 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: It feels like you have a lot of business savvy 436 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: as well as you know, infesting and also knowing what 437 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: you want and sticking to it. Yes, like having a 438 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: plan of knowing this is when I'm going to retire. 439 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: December thirteenth is the last day I'm doing this last. 440 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 3: Day of hospital call. 441 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: What about this show? Was there ever a time that 442 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 1: you felt like maybe I wouldn't come back? I mean 443 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: twelve seasons and the show is a lot of work 444 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: because people have to understand It's not like they come, 445 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: we see an hour long show and they only film 446 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: for an hour. 447 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: I mean that hour is like weeks of filming. 448 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 3: Right, and there is so much that doesn't even get shown. 449 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 3: I still enjoy this group of women, and so as 450 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 3: long as the show is airing and I'm asked to 451 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 3: be on it, more than happy. But because again, I 452 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 3: think it's been a blessing to show America what black 453 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 3: families look like, the good and the bad, right, and 454 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 3: what you can still have relationships, you can still have 455 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 3: traditional jobs. Because everybody wants to be an influencer now 456 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 3: or everyone thinks that they're gonna become Angie. Ye, like, 457 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 3: that's that's the diamond in the rough, right, Everybody's not 458 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 3: gonna get those opportunities. And we are all still showing 459 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 3: America what it looks. 460 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: Like to get up and people have to respect that 461 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: we're married to medicine. 462 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: These are real, like. 463 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 1: Successful business professionals, working women who also look there's times 464 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: that there's a little shade thrown. I don't know any 465 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: group of women that that doesn't happen with. 466 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 3: Right, But everybody always says, you know, I've been yelling 467 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 3: and screaming my whole life. I didn't start yelling once 468 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 3: I started reality TV. 469 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: Listen, I saw somebody say, we love lud Simone because 470 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: that's how you know she's having a good time. 471 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm passionate. 472 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: There you go.

I've heard a 478 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: lot of people say, and I agree that this show 479 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: is just different. It's different because we do get to 480 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: see these relationships and these you know, amazing black families. 481 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: These amazing, powerful, strong women and you know a little 482 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 1: bit of drama here and there, but it is what 483 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: it is. 484 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 2: That's life. 485 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: But then you guys always do seem to support each 486 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: other and come back together. So we're looking forward to that. 487 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: Is there any misconceptions that you think that people have 488 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: about you that you sometimes want to scream at the 489 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: TV and clear up? 490 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 3: I just think, you know, people will say she's hating 491 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 3: on Quad, she's a hater, or she's jealous of Quad. 492 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 3: There is nothing that any of these ladies have that 493 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 3: I want or cannot get, and we are all successful 494 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 3: in our own way.

I made the joke, and it was 505 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 3: a lighthearted joke, but. 506 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 2: It was said. 507 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 3: He said we are so close to having our house 508 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 3: paid off, and I said, I wonder who is gonna 509 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:44,959 Speaker 3: help Quad pay off her mortgage? So it was a lighthearted. 510 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: Joke, right, and it just got into something bigger. Sometimes 511 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: you say things too and you don't know how it's 512 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: gonna be. 513 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 3: How it's gonna affect another person. 514 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: But also produced and edited and blown up because some 515 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: things don't even make it. I'm sure there's a lot 516 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: of things you said that didn't make it, and you're like, 517 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: you know what's gonna end up being on that screen. 518 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad sometimes that editing doesn't show every negative 519 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 3: thing that we do or say, because it's permanent. Once 520 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 3: you put it out there, you can't take it back. 521 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 3: It's permanent, right, all. 522 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: Right, Well again, thank you and congratulations you are.
