Speaker 3: Hello Melody, let's talk about the first day we met.

42
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: So back in the dayDay day, guys, I was living

43
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: in Atlanta, and I am somebody who understands that there's

44
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,279
Speaker 3: so many great people in the world that you sometimes

45
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: just don't walk up at the cafeteria or at the

46
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: gas station and just meet them or even during a

47
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: casting call. So long story short, I have this consulting

48
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: side of the business to where people would come pay

49
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: a fee and picture show IDEA long story short, this

50
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: beautiful blonde woman with a short halle Berry cut and

51
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: a Gucci dress emerged from the lobby at a hotel

52
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: get your monath the gutter.

53
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: Her husband was there too, and to have this meeting.

54
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: And I've said this before and I'll say it again,

55
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: it was love at first sight. I was like, this

56
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: woman is a star and I need to get into

57
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: business with her. I fell in love with you instantly, Melody.

58
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: And whenever I meet people who want to be on

59
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: reality television, I always give them the Melody effect. And

60
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: what that means, my listeners, is Melody was herself. She

61
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: was not trying to be anyone else but her, and

62
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: that's what I fell in love with. And that's the

63
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: reason why I left that hour long conversation in the

64
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 3: lobby and said, I am going to be working with

65
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: this woman.

66
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 2: One day in a big capacity.

67
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 3: But tell the listeners, Melody about that meeting from your perspective.

68
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: Well, first, Carlos, I have to say thank you so

69
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: much for those kind words. I really really appreciate it.

70
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: Even though I've heard you say it multiple times. I

71
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: just want you to know every time I hear it, Okay,

72
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: I am very thankful and just so thankful for the

73
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: friendship and relationship we've been able to build from all

74
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: those years ago and then look where we are now. Right.

75
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: But I remember, you know, meeting with you in the lobby.

76
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. At first, I was nervous because I

77
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: never had a consultation with a producer before, so I

78
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: didn't know what that was going to be like, right,

79
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: But you were so I remember your smile. It was

80
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: so big and bright, just like now, big and bright

81
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: and just welcoming, you know what I mean. So I

82
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: didn't feel shy, nervous, intimidated any of that. So when

83
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: you talk about me being myself, you set the stage

84
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: for me to, you know, feel comfortable talking to you

85
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: and opening up and being myself and sharing you know,

86
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: this idea that Martella and I had in terms of

87
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: a reality show in Huntsville, Alabama. But I remember sitting

88
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: with you, having a treatment prepared, sharing with you the

89
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: idea and what we thought a show would be like

90
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: coming from Huntsville. And I remember at the time you

91
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: were like, let me ask you this, what you think

92
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: about being on Real Housewives, right. I remember you asking that,

93
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: and then my husband at the time was like, no,

94
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. I don't want to

95
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: lose my wife, right because at the time, everybody listen

96
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: at the time, everybody is seen on how we're going

97
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: through stuff for getting a divorce, and so I remember

98
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: walking away from that meeting and feeling like just feeling good,

99
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: you know, feeling like something is going to happen, something

100
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: is going to come from this, and now here we

101
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: have love and Mary chunstill on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

102
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: No, and the rest is history.

103
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: And what I want my listeners to know, and I

104
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 3: thank you too for that compliment, Melody, is the fact

105
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: that it wasn't like you and I had this meeting

106
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: and then the next day Love and Marriage Hunts Bell

107
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: came out of it. So when Melan Martel met with me,

108
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: they had this show I did called No Holds Barred,

109
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: and I was like, Okay, I think it's a great idea.

110
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: Let's keep in touch because at that time, guys, I

111
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: was working on season six of the Real house Spots

112
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: of Atlanta, So my mindset as a creative was that show.

113
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 3: And I was like ooh, Melody and Nini and Phedra

114
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: and Candy and Kenya.

115
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: It could be very interesting.

116
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: But something told me, no, Carlos, there's something bigger for her.

117
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: So we kept in touch over the year.

118
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: That's we did like three to four years.

119
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: Melody wasn't these people that I encountered today where I

120
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: have a meeting with them and they want to be

121
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: on TV by Tuesday.

122
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, it doesn't work like that, guys, I

123
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: promise it doesn't work like that.

124
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't at all.

125
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: And I will always give you the promise because you

126
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: were patient, you were You're the opposite of thirsty.

127
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: You weren't begging me. You would send me videos of

128
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: you at Gala's and what you and Martell were doing

129
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 2: with the homes, and we just kept in touch.

130
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: And when I thought the time was right, so I

131
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: left the Real Housewolves of Atlanta and I said, you

132
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: know what, I really want to figure out something with

133
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: Melody and Martel because I said, this woman, Melody Chari

134
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: is a star and I want to put her on

135
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: a big platform. And courtesy of just having these conversations

136
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: over the years, when I called you and.

137
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: Said, girl, I'm ready, what were you thinking.

138
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: Did you think like Carlos child By, or did you

139
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: think like, Okay, this may be it.

140
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: You know what, I did not feel like Carlos By.

141
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: I remember when you said, oh my gosh, I want

142
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: to work with you guys, I'm going to send you

143
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: a contract. I want to get you a show. I

144
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: remember that phone call, you know. And for me, I

145
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: think because if you've been someone who'd been none responsive

146
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: when you know in the text thing, I might have

147
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: felt like, oh whatever, he full of it. But you

148
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: always responded, you know what I mean. You always responded

149
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: when I communicated things with you, share with you how

150
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: hunts fell as a city was growing and moving up.

151
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: You were always responsive. So because of that, that built

152
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: a certain level of kind of trust, a great level

153
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: of communication. So then when you communicated to me, Hey,

154
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to work with you, I felt like that

155
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: was real, you know, and so I was like, oh, oh, shoot,

156
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Even after that, there was

157
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: still a process, not very long, but a few months

158
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: where it was still a process of shopping and all

159
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: of that. So I will tell anyone who's interested in

160
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: getting into television, particularly reality TV, you have to just

161
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: trust God's timing, and you have to know that whenever

162
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: it's time for whatever your creative idea is to happen,

163
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. And things don't happen overnight. Like

164
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: Carlo said, you have to be patient. That still does

165
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: mean being consistent and persistent, but also being patient. So

166
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: I didn't just meet with him, sit back for years

167
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: and not reach out to him at all and just

168
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: feel like, oh, well, you know when it's meant to

169
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: be at a ball in my lap. No. I stayed

170
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: in contact with him, sending him pictures and information and

171
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: putting in my part that I could. As a word,

172
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: we even created a silver Real, Carlos. I don't know

173
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: if you remember.

174
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: I do you know?

175
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: We even paid videographers and created a silver Real. So

176
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: we still were working as we were still patiently waiting

177
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: to hear from you.

178
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: Oh one hundred percent. And the thing about this podcast is, yes,

179
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: we spilled the tea and get tea and all that stuff,

180
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: but this podcast is really an inspiration not just for

181
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: fans of reality TV, but also people who just want

182
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: to excel in life. And one thing I know about

183
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: this generation that we're in a lot of them not all,

184
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: so don't read me on Twitter. But a lot of

185
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 3: people nowadays, Melody, they want it now and they want

186
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 3: it fast. And you were patient because you and I

187
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: both knew that God's timing overhauls everything. I had to

188
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: leave the real house spots of Atlanta, and I tell

189
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: people this all the time. There would be no Love

190
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: and Marriage Huntsville for two reasons. A obviously if I

191
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: never met Melody Martel, but also B I had to

192
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: leave that big show that took so much of my time.

193
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: I had to move to Atlanta to produce that show.

194
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: When I left the show, moved to LA focused on

195
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: my production company, Kingdomain Entertainment. The first idea I had

196
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: was working with Melody of Martel. But before we get

197
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: into the success of Love and Match hunts Bill, I

198
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: need for my listeners to know this.

199
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: As a little girl growing up in.

200
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: The South, did you always know that you were a star?

201
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: Because baby, I can spot a star in three seconds,

202
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 3: and with you, it took point zero zero zero zero

203
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: zero zero. I did the moment you said hey, I said,

204
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 3: oh Lord Jesus, we have a forced multiplier here. But

205
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 3: let me know, did you always know you were destined

206
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: to be a star.

207
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: You know what, absolutely I did. I You know, growing up,

208
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: I was always performing, singing, playing the piano, pageantry, talent shows.

209
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: You know, even though I come from a very small town,

210
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: one with light Brunda Jaut. Unfortunately, I grew up in

211
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: a community and with a family that was encouraging, that

212
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: showed me so much love. So before I became an adult,

213
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: I heard many people saying, Oh, you're going to be places,

214
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: you are going to do great things. A matter of fact,

215
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: what's so funny. I played community baseball for like a

216
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: year or two, right, and I remember my coaches gave

217
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: me a name, Hollywood. That was the name they gave me, Hollywood.

218
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: I love hearing that.

219
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: And it's funny because what your name as a kid

220
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: or a teenager or young adult kind of shapes your destiny.

221
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: And you've been called Hollywood, it is evident that you

222
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: were destined for Hollywood, Honey.

223
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: And that's nothing to cast me out.

224
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: Yes, when when Love and Mage Huntsville first debuted, did

225
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: you know that it would one day be the number

226
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 3: one unscripted show on Oprah's network.

227
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: Not at all. I did not. I had no idea

228
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: because a lot of times it takes viewers a while

229
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: to get into a new show, right. I feel like

230
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: Carlos with Love and Marriage Huntsville. It came out the

231
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: gate just like boom, you know what I mean. So

232
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting, especially that quickly, for us to be

233
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: a number one show, you know. But I think that

234
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: what the viewers loved was they loved the transparency and

235
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: the authenticity and seeing real life happening on the screens

236
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: and on the television that's not scripted. You know, we

237
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: can watch movies all day and those are roles, right,

238
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: and we may relate to them. But whenever you're seeing

239
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: reality TV, real people, their real lives, and you're like,

240
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I've been through that, or hey, I

241
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: know somebody who's going through that right now. Wait my

242
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: supposter going through this, and now let me watch this show,

243
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And so it just it

244
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: went through like a wildfire, I think, and viewers, once

245
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: they got into it, they couldn't stop.

246
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 3: No. It is so true because I produced and created

247
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 3: shows before Love and Marriag hunts and like you said,

248
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: sometimes it takes a minute for a show to hit.

249
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: Sometimes child a show doesn't hit at all and it's

250
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: canceled the first season. I'm not exempted that I've had

251
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: a show I created, it was canceled the first season.

252
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: Things happened. I don't believe in failures. I believe in

253
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: God saying I'm repositioning your destiny. Girlfriend.

254
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: When Love and Marriage Huntsville first debut, it felt like

255
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: every week there was a different audience that was watching it,

256
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: and the conversations of the show got bigger, and then

257
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: it became a talk of the town word of mouth.

258
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: And then obviously everybody was so invested in your marriage

259
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 3: at the time with Martel, because in reality television, you

260
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: have never seen a couple talk honestly about the turmoil.

261
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: They were going through.

262
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: Did you know going into shooting that first season that

263
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, I signed up for

264
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: this and I'm going to put all on the table

265
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: because that's what i signed up for.

266
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, So going in I knew straight out the gate,

267
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: if I'm going to do reality TV, I'm going to

268
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: be real, and so that was my mindset out the gate. Now,

269
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: I will tell you there was still an interesting twist

270
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: for me because before we started filming season one, I

271
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: thought my marriage was in a good place right before

272
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: the cameras got there. That's when I realized that this

273
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: affair was still going on. So that is why coming

274
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: got the gate. Viewers got that real raw emotion from me.

275
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: They saw me crying, they saw me upset, they thought

276
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: me throwing, saw me throwing clothes across the room. They

277
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: saw all of that because it was real. And I

278
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: think that the audience can feel and can tell when

279
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: something is authentic. And I can also tell when you

280
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: put it on for the camera and looking for moments right.

281
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: We'll get to that later.

282
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 4: I'm serious.

283
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: Because Melody brings that up on the new season of

284
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 3: Love and Marriage Huntsville that debuts September tenth, ninety eight o'clock.

285
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: Continue.

286
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: Now, people can tell and they can feel that. And

287
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times people are taught you

288
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: hold stuff in, and this is what leads to traumatized adults.

289
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: Even as children, you're told to hold things in. Don't

290
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: speak on this, don't speak on that. What happens in

291
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: behind my door stays behind my door. What happened in

292
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: the household stays in the household. But being able to

293
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: express myself and release those emotions was therapeutic for me

294
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: in a sense right and eventually helped lead me to

295
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: get to a place of my healing because I have

296
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: an outlet, you know what I mean. So reality TV

297
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: becomes is good for many different reasons. People are forced

298
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: to have conversations that they may normally wouldn't have, discuss

299
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: certain things that they may normally would push out for

300
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: a year or two. So it is a good thing

301
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: for sure.

302
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: If there was no love in marriage hunts, Bill, do

303
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 3: you think you and Martell would still be married?

304
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: Us being divorce honestly has nothing to do with the

305
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: love and marriage hunts. But I'll be quite frank with you.

306
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: There were more people dming me, rooting for me to

307
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: make my marriage work.

308
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 2: There were more.

309
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: People wanting me to stay like y'all have these beautiful children.

310
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: There were more people for the marriage than against the marriage.

311
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: They loved seeing this beautiful black young power couple. They

312
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: loved seeing that, they loved seeing us with our kids

313
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: and as a family unit. So more people didn't want

314
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: me to leave than the ones that didn't want me

315
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: to leave. So me leaving was solely me and God choice.

316
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: It had nothing to do if I went with what

317
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: more of the fans thought I would still be married.

318
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: Truth be told, No, it's crazy and we need to

319
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: talk about that.

320
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 3: I have never been a part of a show where

321
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 3: people were advocating for a marriage to stay when it

322
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 3: was evident that this other person in this case, Martel,

323
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: was still having the affair, got another woman pregnant. You

324
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 3: would think that the world would say bitch, lee by

325
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: close the door, like girls sell off.

326
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: I remember being a target. Oh my god on the airplane.

327
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: I've been stopped walking down the street by black women

328
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 3: and men who have said to me, please tell Melody

329
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 3: to take my tail back. And I was so shocked

330
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: because I was like, oh, I thought it would be

331
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 3: obvious of why she decided to leave in and listen.

332
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be very honest Melody.

333
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 3: A lot of people in the black community have said, well,

334
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 3: he's a good father. Well, you know, at the end

335
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 3: of the day, you know he didn't mean it, and

336
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: she should give him another chance. And one thing that

337
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be very honest because I don't lie. Melody

338
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: can tell you. I even have had moments with Melody

339
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: and say.

340
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 2: Girl, take him back. I met Shaw together and she

341
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: said Carlos, if y'all get my phone so I understand it.

342
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: Do you think a lot of it is because in

343
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: the black community, especially when you're in the South, and

344
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 3: I'm not going to talk about the things I've witnessed

345
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: in my earlier years growing up in Detroit, a lot

346
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: of women have stayed when their man has cheated or

347
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 3: is still cheating, because a lot of women feel in

348
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: our community, at the end of the day, it's better

349
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 3: to know the devil you're in bed with versus a

350
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 3: new devil. And what that means to my listeners is

351
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: a lot of women stay in marriages where they know

352
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 3: their man is cheating because they feel like, why would

353
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: I leave him to risk dating or marrying another man

354
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: who's going to do the same thing to me? Was

355
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: that part of your process in deciding whether or not

356
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 3: you wanted to leave him?

357
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: Well, what I would say is, when you talk about

358
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: taking a risk, right, I would say, instead of doing that,

359
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: maybe I would want to bet on myself on finding

360
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: someone or someone finding me who does treat me the

361
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: way they should treat me and who doesn't do all

362
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 1: the cheating and all the bullcrap. Right at the end

363
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: of the day, it is still a chance and a

364
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: risk so to speak, that you're taking. So sometimes you

365
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: just got to be willing to bet on yourself. And

366
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: guess what, for me in my situation, I got to

367
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: a place where, you know, you know my song tell

368
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: Tale Signs, I said, I don't rather be alone because

369
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: you've got issues. That's what I meant. I'd rather be

370
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: alone than settle see that one sit well with me

371
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: going to sleep every night knowing that this joker is

372
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: out here doing this, that, and the other. Because it

373
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: goes back to your self worth and what you think

374
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: about yourself. I think that's something that we have to

375
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: work on also in the Black community, self love, self respect,

376
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: What do you think your worth? What do you think

377
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: you're worth? Is that all you think of yourself? And

378
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: so I literally after leaving the marriage, worked on, hey,

379
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: let me make sure that I love me to a

380
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: point where I never sit in a situation like this

381
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: again when I probably should have been left. You know

382
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And so that goes back to learning yourself,

383
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: spending time with yourself, facing any abandonment issues that you

384
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: may have, which a lot of times people are suffering

385
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: from abandonment issues. Where they've grown up. Women have grown

386
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: up with their father maybe not being present in their life,

387
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: so they're afraid of being alone. They're afraid of being

388
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: without a man in their life, so they settle for

389
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: any and everything. When it comes to that, it's different

390
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: timing for everyone. May God bless people on their journey

391
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: who are in situations like that. I get DMS all

392
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: the time from women who are like, you have inspired me,

393
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: You've given me strength. I'm about to leave my thirteen

394
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: year marriage. I'm about to leave this twenty year marriage.

395
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: And so I never thought or imagined that me publicly

396
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: going through humilion, going through depression, divorce, that it would

397
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: lead to just encouraging and inspiring so many women eventually

398
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: to choose self. So that's when it becomes for me

399
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: what I call purpose work, because it's bigger than me,

400
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: and it's bigger than just being on a TV show.

401
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's why I have so many supporters

402
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: and why I have been able to connect to so

403
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: many people.

404
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 3: You connect with people through the television screen because you're

405
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: so authentic and you're so honest.

406
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: And one thing I want to share with people is

407
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: this show is not fake.

408
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 3: And when you see Melody on the screen and she's strong,

409
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: but you guys don't know that.

410
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to share and mal has no idea talk

411
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: about this, Oh lod I'm going to some exclusest Honey

412
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: on the podcast. I love it when Melody.

413
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: Told Martell to keep his penis in The Household season one,

414
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 3: that epic scene, that moment where people are like, this chick,

415
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: Melody is the one to well, you guys don't know

416
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: is I was there on set and Melody Melody left

417
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: the doc. We were on a boat because Kimmy and

418
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 3: Marie just got married, and they went to the top

419
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: of the deck. She comes down, she rushes to me,

420
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 3: and she breaks down in my arms. And I'm bringing

421
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 3: this up to say, I can tell you guys that

422
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 3: this woman's strength is so admired because it takes a

423
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: strong woman to give all of that in front of

424
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 3: the world.

425
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: And to have these conversations.

426
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: And I wanted to share that because I think a

427
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: lot of people think, oh, mel thinks she's there, She's that,

428
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: y'all have no idea. There's tons of conversations Melody and

429
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: I have had in person.

430
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: Over the phone. She's cried, I cried she's hugged.

431
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 3: I hugged, and you're You're such this powerhouse that I

432
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 3: think a lot of people think you're like, oh whatever,

433
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 3: she's heartless, she's a tough cookie.

434
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 2: But I really want people to know that what you have.

435
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 3: Gone through on this show obviously is a huge part

436
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: of the success of Huntsville.

437
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: You gonna make me cry right now.

438
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: I don't cry.

439
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: No, well no, because you're bringing.

440
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 4: Back you know.

441
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: I just I don't even know if you remember this too,

442
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: but you came to Huntsville to one of my mamosas

443
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: with Melody events. To remember that.

444
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: I know, I was about to say y'ah, And that.

445
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: Was another moment when I literally broke down and I

446
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: was charged because it was my event and part of

447
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: again purpose work, you know, to go out and encourage

448
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: all these women who traveled from all over the country

449
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: to come to my event. You know, I don't know

450
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: if you remember, but I made a decision that Martel

451
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: wasn't invited. He could not be present. I had just

452
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: found out maybe the day or a couple of days before,

453
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: this joker was still cheating. When I thought we were

454
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: good yet again, when I I thought we were good

455
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: and I was heartbroken, and I was like, how do

456
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: I go and encourage these women who are here? And

457
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: I'm literally battling my own emotional breakdown right now, you

458
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And even in that moment, you

459
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: were there. I remember you hugging me. I remember crying

460
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: on your shoulder then too, and my whole team being there,

461
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: them surrounding me, and we still went out there and

462
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: we kept that they are the mostas with Melody, though

463
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: we sure did. We sure did.

464
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: No, you sure did, because you have to get in

465
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: front of a crowd of women. And I'm not exaggerating

466
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: when I say this. A woman said to you in

467
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 3: front of a large audience. She said, Melody, you give

468
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 3: us hope, and you're like the Harriet Tubman for women.

469
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: You are the Angelo of women. And I was like,

470
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: and again, this is still season one. People saw you

471
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 3: in the first eight episodes. Deal with that, and as

472
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 3: we were shooting this new season, the fact that you

473
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 3: were able to impact these women, and that's when I knew, like,

474
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: this woman is going to go place this and you

475
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: have gone places so much so there's a place right

476
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 3: now in your career where people are now putting your

477
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 3: name in conversations of some of the greats in reality television,

478
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: like Anini Leegs, a Tammy Realman, a Tiffany Pollard. How

479
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 3: does it feel to know that people are really giving

480
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 3: your props in terms of like you are on your

481
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: way of becoming one of the greatest reality stars of

482
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 3: all time?

483
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: Do you receive that, you know what, I'm just.

484
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: So thankful, you know, when you mentioned, like you said,

485
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: those names of the greats, and the fact that my

486
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: name is even brought up in conversation, I'll be honest,

487
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 1: the fact that there are people who call me mail Yancey. Right,

488
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm a huge VUPSE fan and people literally call me

489
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: mail Yancey. Those things and conversations sometimes feel surreal because

490
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, I still don't feel like, oh, I've

491
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: made it. I probably will never feel like that, because

492
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: that's just not how my mind works and things. But

493
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: I am thankful and just you know, humble to be

494
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: in those kind of conversations because there are so many

495
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: women before me who have done amazing things, who have

496
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: put reality TV, for example, out there, Tammy Roman and

497
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: her you know, being very again transparent and authentic. You know,

498
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: when she first came out with reality TV, and like

499
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: you said, many leads, and you know, there are so

500
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: many amazing, amazing women and we all one thing we

501
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: all have in common is that we've all gone through things.

502
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: We've all struggled with something, and we've all had to

503
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: pull from deep within and pull that inner strength from

504
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: our ancestors, from our creator and continue to push forward

505
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: as women. And so I think it's beautiful. I'm just thankful.

506
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 3: And these women that you mentioned, a lot of them

507
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: follow you on Instagram.

508
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: They love you.

509
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 3: How does it feel to know that you got the

510
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 3: blessings of these women? And I'm pretty sure you watched

511
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: on TV before you started Huntsville Portia.

512
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 2: And it's funny because when I see people coming, I'm

513
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: like you probability too.

514
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: I feel blessed, thankful, you know, Morris Kill Harper, like

515
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: you said me me, Porsia. These are all people that

516
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: I'm communicating with regularly via the phone. So in real life,

517
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, I just feel blessed. And what I do, Carlos,

518
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: is in every one of those situations, I just continue

519
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: to be me, you know, continue to be true to

520
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: who I am. A lot of times people don't get

521
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: to see the silly side of male, like to have

522
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: fun side of mail because of you know, the reality series.

523
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: But people who get to talk to me away from

524
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: the camera, I'll be having them cracking up, like that's

525
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: what I do, you know. So you know, I love

526
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: to see people laugh. I love to see people in

527
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: happy spaces. And so for me, anyway that my energy

528
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: and my light that God has given me can pour

529
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: that into others, that's how I move and that's what

530
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: I do. So you know, I just I go into

531
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: all those situations being male.

532
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it.

533
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: I feel like I say all the time when I

534
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: post inspirational things on my story. You know, separation brings

535
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: about elevation and seeing myself now getting to meet people

536
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: who inspire me, people who you know I've watched as

537
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: a little girl myself, and you know, now I'm being

538
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: able to be in the rooms with them and have

539
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: conversations and shake hands with these people. You know, it's

540
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: an amazing feeling and it's an amazing moment. I don't

541
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: take it for granted. I'm thankful to God every single

542
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: day and my goal and desire is to represent Kingdom

543
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: and you know, to continue to be the light that

544
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: I was sitting here to.

00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: people say sometimes about you?

558
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: Well, what I will say is is in for anyone

559
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: and four years you haven't changed, then you need to

560
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: evaluate yourself and four years you should have grown, You

561
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: should have improved, You should have gotten to a place

562
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: to where maybe you don't accept the same things you

563
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: accepted four years ago, Maybe where you don't engage in

564
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: conversations that you used to engauge in engaging four years ago.

565
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't you know, hang even sometimes with the

566
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: same people that you hung with four years ago, Like

567
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: this isn't anything uncoming we see it time and time again,

568
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: where people grow evolved and if everyone everyone's not we

569
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: said all the time, everybody's not meant to go with

570
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: you on your journey. Your journey is your journey. And

571
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: so for me, it's not that Ooh, I think I'm

572
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: better than everybody, or ooh I'm looking down on anyone.

573
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm focused on my purpose and I'm focused on my journey.

574
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm focused on my healing. I have four beautiful babies

575
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: that I'm responsible for. I literally did just go through

576
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: a the divorce, and you guys have seen firsthand what

577
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: that has been like. So me choosing to not want

578
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: to engage in certain things or certain types of foolishness,

579
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: for me, it's just what it is. If you don't

580
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: like it, you don't like it, call me whatever you

581
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: want to call me. That's okay too. It ain't stopping

582
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: no coins in my pocket, so you know that's okay.

583
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: I feel like I have a close enough relationship with

584
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: God to where if I was moving in a way

585
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: that was not pleasing to him, he would let me know.

586
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: Because I'm a dreamer, Carlos and I have been since

587
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: I was a kid. I've had times in the past

588
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: few months where God has told me you need to

589
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: do X, Y, and Z, and I've reached out to

590
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: whoever that may have been, and I've said the apology

591
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: that I may have need to say, to have need

592
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: to say for whatever part I played in whatever right.

593
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: So I have a decent spiritual relationship. You know what

594
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying in tune with myself that if there was

595
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: something God didn't like, he let me know first before

596
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: he told you, he'd tell me first.

597
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: I thought that's right. Though I feel the same way.

598
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, y'all can stay what y'all want about me.

599
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: I'm here to.

600
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: Please God, not please man or woman. Yeah, care less

601
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 3: about what y'all think about me. I know who I

602
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 3: am and I know whose I am. And speaking of which,

603
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 3: where were you when you found out that Martell was

604
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 3: dating Charie?

605
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't remember where I was. It came across my timeline,

606
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: like I don't, I don't, I promise I don't remember.

607
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't that important, Like it's no staple

608
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: in my mind. I don't remember.

609
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, were you surprised at the pairing?

610
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: Like the world was To be honest with you.

611
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: I didn't even put much thought into it. I just said, oh,

612
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: and I kept scrolling, like seriously, I was like, oh,

613
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: kept scrolling. I didn't put much thought into it. Here's

614
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: what I think. I think sometimes people forget that, first

615
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: of all, me and Martel haven't been together since twenty

616
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: twenty April of twenty twenty, and I think that people

617
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: forget that I've already seen him dating people.

618
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: So you have.

619
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: I didn't know that Melody Holy he had a whole

620
00:33:58,680 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: relationship in the marriage.

621
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 4: Oh well, we knew about that outside of her, yeah,

622
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 4: side of her even Yeah, I've seen so I this

623
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 4: wasn't the first time I've seen him with a woman

624
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 4: that's not me.

625
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: So it didn't move me. It didn't ruffle any well,

626
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: first of all, went anyway. I divorced him, But it

627
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: didn't do anything to me. It didn't stir any emotions.

628
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: It didn't make me feel any kind of way. It

629
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: was literally a scroll, and I kept, you know, scrolling

630
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: like I had people reach out to me girl and

631
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: just see and I was just like, Okay, y'all, I

632
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: don't care. You know, God bless you on your journey,

633
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: Like that's how I am. God bless you on your journey.

634
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 2: I could care less no, And that's one thing I

635
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 2: know about you.

636
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 3: And it's funny because one thing about you and I

637
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 3: we're very close and we talk often, we text often,

638
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 3: we email often, and.

639
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: We zoom often.

640
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 3: And what's funny is the world assumed that I set

641
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: up Charaene Martell because obviously I did Housewives, I'm coolish,

642
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 3: I'm Cooper Martell obviously, and a lot of people thought like, Okay,

643
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 3: Carlos set this up.

644
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 2: And a lot of people also say, like Sea Melody,

645
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: don't trust Carlos.

646
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 3: And what was so funny is you and I get

647
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 3: a kick out of people's assumptions when it comes to

648
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: our friendship and our relationship. And we'll get to that

649
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 3: in a second too. But did you think like the

650
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 3: world thought like, is this that Carlos King mash up?

651
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,959
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm so sorry, but I didn't think that because

652
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: I ain't think nothing about it, Like it didn't even

653
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: go through my mind to be on someding Carlos said

654
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: this stuff like it was. I didn't think anything about it.

655
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: I did not. I just did not, like not even

656
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: to think who put it together or who did I

657
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: didn't think nothing about it. I did it, I think

658
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: because I'm so far removed for me. For me, it's

659
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: been more so focusing on ensuring that my personal identity

660
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: and my brand is no longer attached as much as

661
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: possible attached to martl. That that's all I be focused on.

662
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, And I don't think nothing

663
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: about it.

664
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: That's interesting now I never looked at it that way.

665
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 3: You're so focused on identifying Melody Cherie, which is why

666
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: you drop Holtes.

667
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 2: Now I get the reason for the last name drop

668
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: because you want to.

669
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: As much as you can disassociate yourself from that part

670
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 3: of your life and to reintroduce yourself to the world

671
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 3: as this woman.

672
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: Like you guys met me Mary. You met me as

673
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 2: this married woman who was going through this.

674
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: And now that I have divorced this situation, not only

675
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: did I divorce Martel, you divorce any attachment with that

676
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 3: outside of the beautiful kids you guys have together, obviously,

677
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: but your focus is on let me show the world

678
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 3: who this new woman is perfect.

679
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 2: That is outside of him.

680
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: And that's how I feel when people try to say

681
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 3: things like, oh, Carlos, you're messy, You talk about these

682
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 3: Housewives because you're bitter, which is stupid to me, but

683
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 3: for me, I get what you mean now about having

684
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 3: to be at a place to where you leave a

685
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 3: situation like when I left Housewives. I'm gonna be honest,

686
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 3: it was hard for me to watch the show after

687
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 3: that because I was trying hard to disassociate myself from

688
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 3: the show, because when I left, I wanted to just

689
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 3: focus on my new venture of the company and love

690
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 3: and Match Huntsville. And now that it's been five years

691
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 3: since I left, I now want to talk about the show,

692
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 3: and I.

693
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: Use this podcast to do it.

694
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 3: But it's because I allow those five years for me

695
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 3: to disassociate myself from that show. So now when people

696
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 3: think of Carlos King, they think of loving marriage, and

697
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 3: you want people when.

698
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: They think of Melody should read to think of Melody.

699
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, you got it. I mean, you perfectly said,

700
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: you know. And so that's the process of where I am,

701
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: what I'm going through. So of course every now and

702
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: then I still have questions come up, but a lot

703
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: of times my answers are I have no convent, I

704
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: have no thoughts because I don't even think about that,

705
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, perfectly.

706
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 2: Said no, I know because no, it just hit me.

707
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 3: So I got one more shady question though, do you

708
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 3: think do you think it's a real relationship or PR stunt?

709
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't know.

710
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 4: I don't know.

711
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: Is that what they're saying. I don't know.

712
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 3: The girls are saying it's a pr stunt girl, that's

713
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 3: what they're saying.

714
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 2: I don't.

715
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 4: God bless everybody on their journey, Honey, that's a Southern

Speaker 2: So when it comes for your journey, are you dating anybody? Melody?

719
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 4: I am not.

720
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: I can honestly say that I'm not dating anyone. I

721
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,520

724
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: this way. It's nice.

725
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,919

740
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: like you know, and rediscovering me and traveling and all

741
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: of vega stuff. Now, don't get me wrong, I have

742
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: of course worked on myself to do the healing and

743
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: self work I need to do should I decide to

744
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: be in a relationship, but it's just not something that

745
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: I'm just so antsy about, you know, and just like,

746

753
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 3: looking back at it, that's a young age, yeah, to

754
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 3: be married. Because I always tell women and don't laugh

755
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 3: my say this melody, I feel like a woman in

756
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 3: her twenties, she should be a whole.

757
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 2: I feel like every woman should have a whole phase

758
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 2: and men too, men too. I'm not going to exempt

759
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 2: the men. I feel like in the twenties you have

760
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 2: to be a whole. And by a whole, I.

761
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 3: Mean explored, experiment, experience, date, use protection of course, cause

762

Speaker 3: we got monkey pops and laryngietis and Lethard whatever child.

763
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 3: We have a lot of things happening in the sposter water.

764
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 3: So AnyWho, I feel like, well, I don't.

765
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: Want to be a hole. I ain't never been a hole,

766
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be a home. Now, that

767
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: didn't what I'm saying. No, I say I'm enjoying, traveling

768
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: and enjoying life. But I ain't say nobody to be

769
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: in the hole. No, no, I said, let me tell you.

770
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: Let me tell you my favorite phrase. Hang out don't

771
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: mean hook up. See people seeing you're hanging out with somebody,

772
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: they think y'all hooking up.

773
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 2: No nothing. Now, I just feel like not to be

774
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 2: a hole. But I feel like saying that fact. I

775
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: think I think people will get it. But I say

776
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 2: it that way. When I say a hole, I mean

777
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 2: hope for lee you're able.

778
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: To trying to clean it up that the Lord.

779
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: The Lord is working on me.

780
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 3: When I say be a hole in your twenties, I

781
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 3: mean hope believe you're able to just experience life before

782
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 3: you settle down with just one person.

783
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: Okay, you clean that up really well. I like that.

784
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: You know what I will say is looking back at

785
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: it now. First of all, I'm very thankful that I

786
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: did get married at a young age, because I do

787
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: feel like it costs me to avoid certain things that

788
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: a lot of young twenty year olds go through and

789
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: experience established very quickly, you know, two parent household with

790
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: my kids, you know what I'm saying. So I am

791
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: thankful for the experience that I had. But I will

792
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: also say, when I look at I guess how quickly

793
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: I got married because we've been dating for nine months

794
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: and then he proposed and we got married like seven

795
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: months later. Love bombing gets real, right, And when you're young,

796
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: that looks cute, So to the young girls who watch

797
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: your podcast, when you're young, that is cute. When someone

798
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,879
Speaker 1: is I'm not gonna say, smothering you, but always wanting

799
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: to be up under you and trying to get all

800
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: your time trying to get all your teachers called love

801
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: is really what it is. It seems like, ooh they

802
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: really into me, Oh they really care about me. But

803
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: sometimes a person is love bombing you because they want

804
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: to be able to control you and have you to themselves,

805
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: not because they're necessarily the right person for you, but

806
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: they see the light in you and they see who

807
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: you are right, So you have to be careful. You

808
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: have to be careful. It's best to take things at

809
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: a slow pace, to grow into certain things, build friendship,

810
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: and don't just you know, at twenty one, I was

811
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: twenty one, don't be love bombed and then be married

812
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: at twenty two.

813
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: I couldnot agree more.

814
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 3: So, are you twenty something, your old that's listening, or

815
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 3: even your early thirties. Your twenty should be to experiment

816
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: with life, your career and all those things. And to me,

817
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 3: your thirties should be used to set things in place,

818
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 3: find the husband or the wife, find the career in.

819
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 2: Which you want to go to, so that when you're

820
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: my age. I want to tell you all that much,

821
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 2: but with your mind you know exactly.

822
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 3: Thank you because I looked as good as black do

823
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 3: on crack, so you're able to enjoy life, and that's

824
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 3: been the biggest thing for me, and I can see

825
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: that shining through with you. So before I let you go,

826
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,919
Speaker 3: we got to get into this new season that's coming

827
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 3: on September tenth, eight o'clock on the Oprah Winpen Network

828
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 3: Love and Match Hunts Bill. Without giving so much away,

829
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 3: what can you say to us about this upcoming season?

830
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: Well, I will say first, the most interesting piece I

831
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: think is that the first part of the season due

832
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: to me, you already know, refusing to film with my ex.

833
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was me, and I will call her and

834
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 3: she would say Carlos, and I would say never.

835
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: Mind, yep, So refusing to film with my ex. This

836
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 1: second half, you guys will see us on camera together,

837
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: So I know that's going to be a big thing,

838
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, just people seeing how we're gonna interact, what

839
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: the dynamic is going to be like. Of course, seeing

840
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: us come together in regards to protecting our kids from

841
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: people who are old enough to be bullying them and

842
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So you guys are going to see

843
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:25,919
Speaker 1: that happen. And I think just more of the evolution,

844
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: whether good or bad, friendships and marriages and even you know, businesses,

845
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: what's going on and what's happening. I think you're going

846
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: to see more business as well, business side side of

847
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: things this second half, more so than you did the

848
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 1: first half.

849
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you'll see more of the business side.

850
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 3: Melody has a Skinker line that's doing very well. But

851
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 3: like she said, you also get to see just what

852
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 3: co parenting looks like. And one thing that I've learned

853
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 3: working with Niini Leeks when she divorced Greg, May he

854
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 3: rest in peace. One thing she said to me during

855
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 3: season four was I need a break, Carlos, just just

856
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 3: allow me to be at home and to be still.

857
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: You know, I love this show.

858
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 3: I would give you whatever you want. But when I

859
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 3: say to you, I don't want to do this, just

860
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 3: respect my wishes. And that's what you said to us.

861
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,959
Speaker 3: You said, Carlos, you know I love this show.

862
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 2: YEP, I just can't do it right now. I can't

863
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 2: fill with my ex right now. I just can't. I

864
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 2: may wake up one day and say let's do it.

865
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: As of right now, I cannot do it.

866
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 3: And I'm happy to say we all of course supported you,

867
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 3: and yeah, yeah, and the fact that you said I'm

868
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 3: not gonna give too much away but it's very interesting

869
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 3: what brings Melody and Martel together. We get to see

870
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 3: something happen with Miss Wanda at this event, which, by

871
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 3: the way, outside the episode and it is I mean,

872
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 3: Melody was dressed as mister t and she was ready

873
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 3: to rumble.

874
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 2: But but outside of that, you still get some business.

875
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 2: So let's be clear, y'all love the dripa eight away.

876
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 2: I don't care how much y'all say, y'all don't y'all do.

877
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 2: But anyways, it's a much balanced season.

878
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: And but you know what, Carlos, can I say something

879
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: back to it being real? Back to it being real?

880
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: That was still very real for me, Meaning had cameras

881
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: been present or not, had I had seen her at

882
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: Target or Walmart, it would have been the same thing

883
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: for me. It was just the reality of it, you

884
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like it wouldn't. It didn't matter

885
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: at that point where anything went down or what cameras

886
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: were present. It was just what it was gonna be.

887
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: So that's back again real. It was real.

888
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: Oh it's real, and it gets real up in here.

889
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 3: But the only thing I will say is the moment

890
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: you think you figured out out, you haven't And this season.

891
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 3: I will say this, this season has more twists and

892
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 3: turns than every other season.

893
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 2: Like the moment you think like okay, we're.

907
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: on Seventh Avenue, and you know that is where I

908
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: learned the orders of hygiene, taking care of myself, taking

909
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: care of my body and my skin, and I suffer

910
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: from a skin condition where my great grandmother, I actually

911
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: posted a picture form my story today, she actually had

912
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: given me something to help with that, so I got

913
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: that incorporated in my skincare line. Working with a black

914
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: female chemist, She's been a chemist for over eighteen years. Listen,

915
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,959
Speaker 1: I let me tell you what. It warms my heart

916
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: when I place orders with her and she sends me

917
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: an invoice. You know what I'm saying, Because it's that exchange,

918
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,920

00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: spirit and let me say something. It's not always about

925
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: me or what I'm going through at the time. Sometimes

926
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,919
Speaker 1: God just drops things in my spirit. When he does,

927
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: I share him. I don't know who is for. I

928
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: don't know nothing. If it hits you, it he's you.

929
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: If it don't it don't pass a collection plate, Tappy,

930
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: then okay. But just you know, if you're wanting some

931
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,759
