1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: What's up, its way up with Angela Yee And as

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: promised when I saw Jazzline Martin in La, we have

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: you here our way up with Angela Yee, A real

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: official sit down.

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

6
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: So I wanted to make sure that we made that

7
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: happen because man, the BT media room was hectic.

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: That was a lot.

9
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a lot going on.

10
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: I think I did how many interviews did I do?

11
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: Thirty two in one day? In two days? I was like,

12
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: this is too much and I need to, like, I

13
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: gotta go home. Yeah No, But I also like the

14
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to really sit down because it's a lot for

15
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: you too, like bouncing around doing a million interviews, and

16
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: a lot of times people do have to answer like

17
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: the same questions over and over again, like how do

18
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: I say this differently?

19
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's more intimate, more fun, more individual.

20
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: So, and I had a chance to start watching bel

21
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: Air season three, which is great thing. Well, first of all,

22
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're there because I remember when the last

23
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: season ended they weren't sure they were against Jackie's character

24
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: coming back. I'm still I think as most of I

25
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: started trying to figure out what is going to be

26
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: the best scenario is Weill gonna stay with Lisa? Is

27
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: he gonna move on with Jackie? And there's some mystique

28
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: about you too, like you open up a little, but

29
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: we're not quite sure what Jackie's real story is, you know.

30
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: So for you being able to play that role, how

31
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: has that been life changing? Because you've been acting already.

32
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: But this is a pretty nice, you know, liituation that show.

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: No, for sure, I think just the platform and just

34
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: the legacy of the show already carries on. So to

35
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: be able to do a reimagination is beautiful. And yeah,

36
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: I think Jackie's very mysterious. It's like we know she

37
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: has some brokenness, we know she's confident, we know she dances,

38
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 2: but we don't know too much about her. So I'm

39
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: very excited to explore more of you know, her childhood,

40
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: how she grew up, you know, what she's been through,

41
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: because I think a lot of people just see how

42
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 2: she wants to prevent present herself and not like who

43
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: she actually is.

44
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, she plays a little bit hard to get, but

45
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 1: you know when they first remember her and Will first met,

46
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, this could be cute.

47
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: For him, huh. You know, I think Will needs to

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: be single. That's what I think. I think he's in

49
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 2: loving one.

50
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: He is in love with Lisa.

51
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: But you know what I think people tend to forget

52
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: in that scenario, he did go after his cousin's woman

53
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: or you know, that is Carlton's ex, right, Lisa, And

54
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of foul a little bit, and I think

55
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: people don't think about that still anymore, like the fact

56
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: that that was your cousin's woman and then Carlton got

57
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: on drugs and that's probably part of it. You know,

58
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's a lot, there's a lot, there's

59
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: a lot to unpack when it comes to that. So far,

60
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: we haven't seen well, we did see one situation where

61
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: you were you got a little.

62
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: Drunk, yes, yes see, and I created that was my

63
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: mom's anniversary of when she left, and that's why I

64
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: got drunk that night. But you know, we don't really

65
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: dive into much about her past. But yeah, you know,

66
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: she grew up with both parents being gone, so you know,

67
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: she looks to be loved and I think Will loves

68
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: her well and the best way she knows how so

69
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: you know, she tries to latch onto that and of

70
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: course her uncle was there, but he wasn't too present.

71
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: I believe he's Yeah, he's a little grimy, a little bit.

72
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has something to him.

73
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

74
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, in addition to doing this, you've also been

75
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: doing oh and last thing. To back up into the

76
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: dancing that Jackie does, you also got to choreograph on

77
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: the show. How exciting was that for you because you

78
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: were able to merge two things that you got together.

79
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: My two loves. It was it was an honor. I

80
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: got to bring a little jazzling into Jackie, and Jackie

81
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: got to bring out a little more jazz. So it

82
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: was it was beautiful to be like, all right, I'm

83
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: gonna put both of these art forms into one.

84
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: How was it getting casted for the show?

85
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm gonna tell you the whole story.

86
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: I do. That's exactly This is interesting.

87
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: I remember it was on Wilship Boulevard. I was parking,

88
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: looking for parking because it's Beverly Hills and I don't

89
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: want to get a ticket. And I walked in and

90
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: there's another girl in the room. Actually no, I was

91
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: by myself, and I heard another girl on zoom and

92
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: I heard them giving her notes and I was like okay, okay,

93
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: do that. Okay, gotcha, and then some more girls came

94
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: in and this was for the callback too, so I

95
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: did a self tape and then they wanted me to

96
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: do it in person, and then I met Jabari and

97
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: we started going and I started improvising because I was

98
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: like screw it, and they're like, oh, for it. Oh

99
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: she a little spicy and I was like yeah, and

100
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: there last me where I was from. And I felt

101
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 2: really good at it, like I felt at peace. I

102
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: was like, even if I don't get it, I felt

103
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: like I went in there and did my best and

104
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 2: that's all I can do. And so I was waiting

105
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: a couple of days and my agent was like, we

106
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 2: should be hearing back today and I was like, okay,

107
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna take myself on a walk, go get

108
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: some distance myself myself. And he calls me and he's

109
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: like hey, Jazz. I'm like hi. He's like, so they

110
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: made it decision and you're Jackie wow, and I was like,

111
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: are you playing with me? I can't breathe and I

112
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: did a little uptilt tier that's exciting, and it's like, yeah,

113
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: this is this is going to change your life for sure.

114
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: So man, I can't even imagine having to go on

115
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: auditions and do like how many auditions would you say

116
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: you've been on?

117
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: Probably in the three hundreds like that, Yeah.

118
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: How do you keep your spirits up? Because I know

119
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: that's not an easy job. Like I've never been on

120
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: an audition, but I've always heard about, like how you

121
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: know it can be so many like callbacks, callbacks. You

122
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: have your heart and your hopes have to get a

123
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: role and then a lot of times it doesn't happen.

124
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: And that's no like offense to your craft or what

125
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: it is that you do or how great you are,

126
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: but it's just you know what it is.

127
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: It's life, and it's very human for us not to

128
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: enjoy rejections. So it's like right, you know, it's like

129
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: after all the nose, it's like how do you keep going?

130
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: But I really like to remind myself that rejection is

131
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: God's protection and if it's not for me, then it's

132
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 2: not meant for me. And there's some things that just

133
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: aren't in your control. So I just go in and

134
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: do my best. And I think having a really strong

135
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: foundation and a strong purpose as to why I do

136
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: this keeps me going, right, because if I wasn't strong

137
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: and though, I'd be like, all right, I'm just going

138
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: to give up. This is the fiftieth no, but the

139
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: fifty one could be a yes. So it's like that's

140
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: my reason to keep going.

141
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: I love that too.

142
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: We're very open about that because I know people will

143
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: watch this and be like, oh, yeah, she's They don't

144
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: understand the grind behind how you got to where you are.

145
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: You know, not that this is your first role.

146
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: You've had other roles, but to even know that, like

147
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: she's been on you know, hundreds of auditions and you

148
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: don't land every role. But in addition to that, like

149
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: you said, you have a strong foundation. So your parents, right,

150
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: your mom was a dancer and your dad a musician. Yeah, okay,

151
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: so talk to me about being raised that way in

152
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: the arts.

153
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: I love my parents. Shout out to my parents.

154
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 3: We love to hear that.

155
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: Yes, happy home. Yes. So my mom grew up being

156
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: a dancer and my dad was signed to a record label.

157
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: He didn't love the music industry, so he very early

158
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: on educated me on how evil and corrupt it could be.

159
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: And he's like, you just got to really love it.

160
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: So he poured into me. All my music comes from him,

161
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: like Prins Music, Soul Child, DiAngelo, Jill Scott, all the

162
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: greats came from him. So they're always extremely supportive of

163
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: what I wanted to do. Even you know, they're like

164
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: you don't want to go to college or if you

165
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: just want to, they're.

166
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: Just extract because they understood.

167
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: They understood, and it's you know, given me a couple

168
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: steps forward because I know a lot of people don't

169
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: have supportive parents, and I think the reason why I

170
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: think I can do what I do is because of them,

171
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: for sure. Right, They've planted that confidence in me.

172
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because your EP that is coming out,

173
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: it's called the identity Crisis. Yes, now discuss that title

174
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: with me, because, like you said, you have a strong foundation,

175
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: loving parents who understood what it is that you want

176
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: to do, that were supportive of that. But yet identity crisis.

177
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Let's discuss that identity crisis.

178
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: Yes. So I think growing up, I had a very

179
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: strong sense of my identity. You know, I was very strong,

180
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: full of joy attitude, and I feel like everyone has

181
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: gone through things and experiences and people that make you

182
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: question who you are. It's like, damn why did I

183
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: just do that? That's not me? Whoa whoa? You know,

184
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: and it kind of forces you to dim your light.

185
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: So I wanted to, you know, speak on my behalf,

186
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: on the different conflicts I have in my head and

187
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: the different things I've experienced, Like do I follow the

188
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: world or do I follow God? Do I be a

189
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: bad bitch? You know how society is promoting that? Or

190
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: do I just be me and be comfortable and love

191
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: who I am as I am? So just different things that,

192
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: you know, I think I've battled and a lot of

193
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 2: people don't really showcase what it is to go through

194
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: the identity crisis. And I think everyone has gone through

195
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 2: it right and continues to go through it no matter

196
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: age or ethnicity or gender. You know, we're always trying

197
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: to figure out who we are.

198
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a because who you are also

199
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: changes all the time, you know, And so yeah, I

200
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: can definitely attest to that. That's interesting that you say that,

201
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: because you can't be a bad bitch who follows God.

202
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And it's like the world's like you gotta choose,

203
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: you gotta choose one, And it's like, what if I

204
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: want to be all of them.

205
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: So, and your first song that you did was perfect, right,

206
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: it's called perfect. Now. I want to discuss that song

207
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: because the lyrics. Did you write that song yourself?

208
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: Yes, with also stage Y and Trey.

209
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: Okay, now that song the lyrics are beautiful and it's

210
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: also something that a lot of us, I think, deal

211
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: with just being open and vulnerable about the lyrics to

212
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: that song because you talk about, you know, sometimes you're

213
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: scared because we're not perfect at all and there's a

214
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: lot of flaws that we have. And so talk to

215
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: me about what was going through your head while you

216
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: were writing that. You said your pedestal was crumbling beneath

217
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: your feet.

218
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think as a society, I have a

219
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: really hard time giving people grace. And I think the

220
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: cancel culture is a really big thing. I don't love it.

221
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: I don't promote it. I think people fall and we

222
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: should help them get up. And I feel like, yeah,

223
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: I think men have put me on a pedestal. I

224
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: think society has put me on a pestal. The women

225
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 2: are expected to be perfect, and when we're not, it's like, damn,

226
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: do we deserve to be loved? Then? Are we still

227
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: going to be wanted if you do see my secrets

228
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: and my flaws. So I just kind of wanted to

229
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: be vulnerable, which is something I'm not very great at

230
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: for my first song, and kind of expose that, like

231
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 2: I may look like I got it all together, but

232
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: like I'm still human, So don't rob that from me

233
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: by labeling me as perfect.

234
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's there's a lot of pact.

235
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: Too, because you're right, because a lot of times we

236
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: also don't like to show how human we really are.

237
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: And I think sometimes being in the public eye, things

238
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: can bother you. It can hurt you. You could be not

239
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: happy with you know, what you had on on a

240
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: certain day, or how you looked on a certain day,

241
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: or even just you know, just this business is tough

242
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: and people are always critiquing you for superficial things too,

243
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, instead of paying attention to like not knowing

244
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: if you've had a terrible day or if somebody's going

245
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: through something you just don't know what it is.

246
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: I was looking at.

247
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: This this post on Instagram. This guy was in the

248
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: airport and he was having like a breakdown. Because I

249
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw it, it was viral. I

250
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: guess the doors closed for the plane and he was like,

251
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: I want to I need to see my mom and

252
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: people were laughing him, and I was like, you don't

253
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: know what's really going on though, Like you don't know

254
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: if there's some like issue that he needs to and

255
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: they're not going to open the doors of the plane anyway,

256
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter, right, and you don't know what's

257
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: going on.

258
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: But people love to make jokes out of everything.

259
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's very easy to judge when you

260
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: don't know. So I just I wanted to encourage people

261
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: to give people grace. And like you said, it's like,

262
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: especially when you're in the eye, you always have to

263
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: be on, Like you can never have an off day,

264
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: you can never mess up. And I'm like, that's just

265
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 2: not human. That's not realistic and like just an unrealistic

266
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: burden to carry. And I don't want to be perfect.

267
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: I love I love that I mess up. That's where

268
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: I grow, it's where.

269
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: I learn, and you decided to.

270
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: So now jumping into music, that's a whole another thing.

271
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: So how does it feel? Because perfect, it seems like

272
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: it was. It was well received from people when they

273
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: heard it. I really it's really beautiful to listen to

274
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: you have a beautiful voice, Thank you too. And I

275
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: like that the lyrics, just listening to it and getting

276
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: like the deeper meaning of all of that. But how

277
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: is that for you, because that's a whole nother like

278
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: actually dances and now you sing.

279
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've always been shied away from singing. I'm sorry,

280
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: just because people always knew me as a dancer, and

281
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, bet, I have to choose one thing.

282
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: Identity crisis, you know, like I can only be a dancer.

283
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: I can't be a singer and an actor. So now

284
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: transitioning into this world, it's drastically different, Like every day

285
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: there's something more I have to do, Like the process

286
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: just it's rough. I'm not gonna lie it's it's a

287
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: rough industry. But my dad prepared me for this, so

288
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: I just got to think, like I'm in it for

289
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: the art, I'm in it for the storytelling.

290
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: So he knew at some point you would be a

291
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: singer and that you would put out music.

292
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: I started dancing first and then singing immediately. So I

293
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: started training when I was like eight, okay, vocal training,

294
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: but I just never like put out music. I was

295
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: just just kept singing but he knew this day would come,

296
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: and he's very protective and he's like, I know things

297
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 2: about the industry that you don't, and especially because you're

298
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: a woman, I want you to be very cautious. So yeah,

299
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: he's he's laid a good foundation for me.

300
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: And then you put out they say, was that the

301
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: second song?

302
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: Yes?

303
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: Okay, and the video and by the way, amazing that

304
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: you're able to do these great visuals too. You definitely

305
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: have Lord. Yeah, it's the one an advent is that

306
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: you have? Yeah, that's like a fun one.

307
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I had a great team. I had a great

308
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: team for that shoot. And yeah, I wanted to pay

309
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 2: much to La, so I want to do a lot

Speaker 3: that you.

321
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: Envision for yourself, because I know you're working with United

322
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: Masters right now, Why did you make that decision? Because

323
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,239
Speaker 1: that's basically it's kind of being independent.

324
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: R Okay.

325
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: I want to own my music, for one and I

326
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: want to have creative control. I am very much so

327
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: a person that knows what they want and what the

328
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: action should be. And I never want anyone telling me

329
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: or telling me to be something else.

330
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 3: Okay, So.

331
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think music is an expression of my soul

332
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: and I want to be the one to be like

333
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: this should come out and this is me as opposed

334
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: to cultivating to what they think would be popular or

335
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: a hit. And a mod who reached out to me

336
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: for United Masters, he just resonated with the project and

337
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: he was like, this is one of the greatest projects

338
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: I've heard in a really long time.

339
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I know that felt good.

340
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: I was like, you don't got to lie to me.

341
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: Don't do that. I know you want me, but you

342
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: don't got to lie. And he was like, no, I

343
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: don't get paid enough to lie. And I was like,

344
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: that's fair, that's fair. So yeah, I love when people

345
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: connect with the with the project.

346
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: Was that the only like, was there any other considerations?

347
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: There were, but that was the one that really stood

348
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: out that I was like, yeah, this is the one, okay.

349
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: And how does how involved is your father in since

350
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: you said he's he's been kind of getting you ready

351
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: for this time in your life. So now how involved

352
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: is he as decisions are being made? Is it a

353
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: data jer situation?

354
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: No? No no, I want to keep business and the

355
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: family said no, no, no, no, no no no no. Sometimes

356
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: he gets a little involved. He's like, I think you

357
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: should do this. I said, Dad, I like it like this,

358
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: so we're gonna leave it like this is that okay?

359
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: He's like, okay, yeah, this is your music. So he's

360
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: he's involved with some critiques. But he actually produced one

361
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: of the songs on the.

362
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you that next doing music with you?

363
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,239
Speaker 2: Yes, he did Stuck in the Middle, which is the interlude.

364
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, you produced that one.

365
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: And so the project is out on August thirtieth, right,

372
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: Okay, seven songs, and that's exciting to share this out

373
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: with the world. It feels like also from when you

374
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,080

375

376
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was. I was anxious. I was like, I

377
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 2: just want to get my music out. And then it

378
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: was really my team that like, you have to do

379
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: a rollout when it comes to this stuff, and I

380
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: was like, why, let's just put it out and so yeah,

381
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: they've been very gracious with me and helping me learn

382
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: about rollouts. So but yeah, seven songs and you're gonna

383
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: the last song is like a bluesy gospelish Wow. It's

384
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: very big. That's how I explain it. It's very big

385
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 2: and raw and vulnerable.

386
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: What's it about? Can we get a little?

387
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: It's about so many things. It's called Lead Me to Love,

388
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: and it's basically it's kind of deals with self hate.

389
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: And I wrote it when I felt like I wasn't

390
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: myself and when I was just like ashamed of myself,

391
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: and it's basically like lead me back to God because

392
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: God is love, so lead me back to myself. And yeah,

393
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: it's just feeling broken and sad and just yeah, like

394
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: I don't I don't like me right now?

395
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: What was it about yourself that you didn't like? Like

396
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: what was happening?

397
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 2: So much was happening? That's a great question. I think

398
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: like a lot of personal things, how I handled certain

399
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: situations I wasn't proud of, and a lot with you know,

400
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 2: family and friends, and it was a big change in

401
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 2: my life. I think this was during like the show,

402
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: so it was like so many new transitions in my

403
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: life that I was like, ooh, this is a lot.

404
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: I don't know how to navigate through this.

405
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: So that is a tough time though, because things will

406
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: change as you get a lot more going on. And yeah,

407
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure you were really busy yeah during that time. Yeah,

408
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: but I but you said you didn't like how you

409
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: handled it. Accountability is important too, sure, you know, instead

410
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: of saying, oh, you know, forget them, you didn't like

411
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: there in ways that you were acting. Yeah, which is

412
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: different because a lot of people would be like, man,

413
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: forget them, Like.

414
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: No, yeah, I'm not like that. I'm very I'm very

415
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: hard of myself and I like to think I moved

416
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 2: through the world with light and love, and so when

417
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 2: I don't reflect that, I'm like, damn, I'm a bad person.

418
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: And that's where, you know what the identity crisis comes through,

419
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: because you know, we all do things we're not proud

420
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: of and that's just human.

421
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 3: And how did you handle that?

422
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: I went to therapy.

423
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I started therapy. Okay, yes I did.

424
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: And yeah, I just got a stronger foundation with God

425
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: and just poured into myself. I started doing like salsa

426
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: classes and doing hikes and swimming and just doing you

427
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: know things that you.

428
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: Know, self care things.

429
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, things I used to love to do as a kid.

430
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: And I was like, I want to nurture that little girl.

431
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: And did you address situations that you felt like you

432
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: weren't proud of?

433
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: How you handled yeah?

434
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I always Yes, I love those type of conversations.

435
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 2: Allows me to grow, allows me to learn, and I'm

436
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: a pretty confrontational person, so I'm very blunt, so I

437
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: appreciate those conversations in a safe space.

438
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you and the character of Jackie

439
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: on Bell Air, there's any like, what do you draw

440
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: from in your real life. When you think about that

441
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: character that you're like, Okay, I can take this from

442
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: how I really am and put this into this character.

443
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't think me and Jackie

444
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 2: are very similar, but I think I can relate to her.

445
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 2: I think everyone can relate to another human being. I

446
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 2: think we're both very strong minded and confident, and we

447
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: know what we want. I just think Jackie has had

448
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 2: to go through things that I haven't had to go through,

449
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: and the way she survives looks different than me. You know,

450
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: I haven't really had a survival mindset growing up. I

451
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: was allowed to be a child, but I don't think

452
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: Jackie was given that luxury. I think she was always

453
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: you know, growing up in South Central with no parents.

454
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: It's like you really kill or be killed.

455
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: I feel like we're going to see a lot happening

456
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: in this season that we don't know about yet, just

457
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: based off of these answers.

458
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: I don't think you'll see it. It's crazy, but yeah,

459
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think she is very mysterious

460
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 2: and people are like, I want to know more about her,

461
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 2: and I think she's just very closed off.

462
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: What is some crazy things that have happened to you

463
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: since the show and the success of bel Air.

464
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: Oh, probably Tokyo. I was in Tokyo with my friend

465
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: and I was eating at a mall and some girl

466
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: came up to me and she's like, can I take

467
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: a picture with you? And I was like, you know,

468
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: first thing, I'm like, cause I'm black. Y'all gone on

469
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: black people here? And then she saw my confusion. She

470
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 2: was like, I watched the drama bel Air, and I said, oh.

471
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 2: I was like, in Tokyo, what do you guys do?

472
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: How some all the world is now ray so much

473
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: access that we have to just think about streaming services

474
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: weren't always around and they weren't always global the way that.

475
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,719
Speaker 3: It is now. That's good. Look at you, superstar Tokyo.

476
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, thanks for watching. Now.

477
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: Would you tell Jackie to pursue Will or would you say, girl,

478
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: leave him alone? If you were to give if that

479
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: was your homegirl and you were giving her advice.

480
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: That's a good question. That's a great question.

481
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 3: What would you say, go link up a Carlton instead.

482
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: Get you? I told him. I was like, you know,

483
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: Carlton and Jackie shit since you know, but I would

484
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: probably respectfully be like girl, it's time to it's time

485
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: to go a different way, right.

486
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: He's playing games.

487
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: He's playing games, and it's like, you don't need you

488
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: don't need that, you need safety. You want to feel loved,

489
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: you want to feel wanted.

490
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 3: And it's messy with your uncle too.

491
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: I mean, but that's my uncle's fault. I don't think

492
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: Jackie was messy. I think Jackie tried to handle it

493
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 2: the best way.

494
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 3: But it is a bad situation to be in the

495
00:22:59,440 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 3: middle of.

496
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and put a seventeen year old girl in

497
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: that like and with emotions and feelings involved, like it's

498
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 2: gonna get messy. But I don't think it was her fault.

499
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: I don't think she has But yeah, I think i'd

500
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: be like, friend, I want you to feel wanted, and

501
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: he clearly wants someone else, and he might want her.

502
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: I think he does still, but it's like you got

503
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: to make a decision with both.

504
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: It feels like I think both of them fulfill that

505
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: certainty for sure. He probably feels, you know, a sense

506
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: of connection with Jackie's character, just because of how he

507
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: grew up and where she is now and him not

508
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: having his father president in his life and being raised

509
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: by his aunt and uncle.

510
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like two unlovable characters finding love in each other.

511
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, but then maybe Lisa is more stable for him.

512
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Will just needs to be single and

513
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: figuring himself out.

514
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 3: But we're gonna see what's bel air.

515
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: We just need to make sure that Jackie's back for

516
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: the next season too. That's what really meant. We got

517
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: to make sure you hang in there if you've got

518
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: to link up with someone else or whatever is gonna

519
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: happen everyone, we need to keep it going. But again,
