Speaker 1: If my keys is out there and I'm passing by
Speaker 1: and she's outside fighting on the side of the road,
Speaker 1: I'm pulling over, taking my shoes and I'm helping her.
Speaker 1: But the crazy thing about that, Carlos, I would do
Speaker 1: that for each and every one of these ladies on
Speaker 1: the show, even if they will not do it for me.
Speaker 2: That's my character. That is my character.
Speaker 1: I'm used to cheering for people who do not cheer
Speaker 1: for me, and I'm okay with that.
Speaker 3: Stay tuned.
Speaker 4: We'll get to my conversation with Tama Sharie right after
Speaker 4: these quick ass hey rain drops. So before we get
Speaker 4: to my interview with Tama Sharie, girl, we got something
Speaker 4: to talk about. Yes, we got a few things to
Speaker 4: talk about actually on this fine Friday.
Speaker 3: So first thing.
Speaker 4: First, we got to get into what's been happening in
Speaker 4: the streets of Alta.
Speaker 3: And y'all know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4: Martel Hope Baby filming for the Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Speaker 4: We've seen the pictures, we've seen the photos, we've seen
Speaker 4: the videos. Honey, we've seen it all. I'll just talk
Speaker 4: about this stuff that we've seen online, and who knows,
Speaker 4: maybe I'll confirm some stuff yes, okay, So we've all
Speaker 4: have been seeing pictures of Sonya Richards Ross's husband Ross,
Speaker 4: that's his name, right, Ross. Yes, he had a birthday party.
Speaker 4: I believe it was his fortieth birthday party. And he
Speaker 4: had a great Gatsby theme. So look, if I see
Speaker 4: one more great Gatsby theme, I am going to poke
Speaker 4: myself in the eyeball. Ross had a great gas beet thing,
Speaker 4: because that's what men who are turning forty one?
Speaker 3: Okay, whatever I mean, I digress. Okay.
Speaker 4: So Martell showed up with his boo Cherie, and there's
Speaker 4: a video that has leaked online that appears to show
Speaker 4: Martell filming with Charae by his side and Kenya legend
Speaker 4: more across from him, and a lot of people are
Speaker 4: speculating whether or not Kenya and Martell we're having a
Speaker 4: heated discussion, like what.
Speaker 3: Was going on?
Speaker 4: So look y'all about to give me a trouble, honey,
Speaker 4: I got bills to pay.
Speaker 3: The other thing I'll say is.
Speaker 4: I heard it went down basement and that yep, Martell
Speaker 4: versus Kenya. To know that something may have went down
Speaker 4: with Martel and Kenya.
Speaker 3: One thing we know.
Speaker 4: About Martel Martel speaks his mind. Unlike most of the
Speaker 4: husbands on the show, Martell's speaks his mind and he
Speaker 4: goes off on anybody that he feels is going off
Speaker 4: on him. We've seen it on my show Love and
Speaker 4: Marriage Huntsville, and Martel speaks his mind.
Speaker 3: He's a Capricorn.
Speaker 4: He pledged the fraternity Kappa Alpha Si, so to know
Speaker 4: that him and the Titan, like Kenya had a moment.
Speaker 3: Oh, I can't wait.
Speaker 4: He's going to make sure that these women know, like I,
Speaker 4: I'm not the husbands y'all used to like, I am
Speaker 4: going if y'all go gutter, I am going Jason Project
Speaker 4: the thirteenth Basement on ya. Okay, Martel ain't the one
Speaker 4: to play with.
Speaker 3: He's not. He's not.
Speaker 4: And it'll be interesting to see how Charae handles it,
Speaker 4: because look, Charay and Kenya are friends, and although I'm
Speaker 4: aware of what A heard, I'm not gonna say it,
Speaker 4: but I am curious to see whether or not Charae
Speaker 4: is able to, you know, defend her man without losing
Speaker 4: her friendship with Kenya. Because one thing we know is
Speaker 4: Kenya and Charay are really friends in real life, their neighbors,
Speaker 4: and they really do enjoy each other. They sit next
Speaker 4: to each other at the reunion. They had a good
Speaker 4: old key key, So it'll be very interesting to see
Speaker 4: what happens. Kenya is just somebody who is a force multiplier.
Speaker 4: And look, Martel is one of the best male force
Speaker 4: multipliers on reality television.
Speaker 3: I don't think.
Speaker 4: Those peaches are ready for the likes of Martell Hope.
Speaker 4: And what's so interesting is not since Peter Thomas, have
Speaker 4: you seen a husband on the show just speak his
Speaker 4: mind and don't care if he's involved in the woman's
Speaker 4: business or not. So it'll be interesting.
Speaker 3: Now. Look, Martel is still.
Speaker 4: I want to make it very clear my loves Martella
Speaker 4: is still very much a part of the Love and
Speaker 4: Marriage Huntsville universe.
Speaker 3: So you know he went over there to play with
Speaker 3: the girls for a second. That's cute.
Speaker 4: So the only thing I'm going to say is buckle
Speaker 4: up because I can't wait to get my hands on
Speaker 4: Cherie Whitchfield in Huntsville.
Speaker 3: Stay tuned.
Speaker 4: Speaking of Love and Marriage Huntsville, last week's episode was
Speaker 4: the most anticipated episode of the season, and you finally
Speaker 4: got to see what happened at Destiny MADNNI location where
Speaker 4: Melody Miss Wanda, Martel and Marcel. Oh like this big
Speaker 4: old melay that happened, and let's talk about it.
Speaker 3: What's going to be interesting to see.
Speaker 4: Is how the cast is able to move forward after this, which, yes,
Speaker 4: you're going to see episodes where they talk about it.
Speaker 4: You're going to see episodes where the original six, the Scott's,
Speaker 4: the Hotes, and Scott's two point zero have a conversation
Speaker 4: about what happened. You're going to see Marcel and Tisha
Speaker 4: talk to Miss Wanda. You're going to see a very
Speaker 4: interesting way of how adults deal with a situation to
Speaker 4: where something heated happen. The best thing I love about
Speaker 4: this show is this cast is super real, but they're
Speaker 4: also very super aware of their position. And that's why
Speaker 4: when you see what happened after this melee, you're going
Speaker 4: to see a very mature conversation just about respect. And
Speaker 4: what also makes me happy is the fact that no
Speaker 4: punches were thrown, no hits were landed, and that's what
Speaker 4: we like to see on reality television. Y'all could tweet
Speaker 4: me all day long about Ratchet, this Ratchet that I'm
Speaker 4: happy that no one got hurt. I'm happy that these
Speaker 4: grown adults felt the need to have this heated moment,
Speaker 4: but also new to separate themselves from it, and that's
Speaker 4: something that should be applauded. And we will get more
Speaker 4: into this at the upcoming reunion that's taping in a
Speaker 4: few weeks. But the main thing that I want to
Speaker 4: address is this this social media commentary about the word ratchet.
Speaker 4: I feel like it's overused and y'all are using it
Speaker 4: a lot when it comes to black people having a
Speaker 4: very heated moment on reality television. Y'all don't use the
Speaker 4: word of ratchet when Teresa July split the table. Y'all
Speaker 4: don't use the word of ratchet when Lisa Renna put
Speaker 4: a glass on the table, broke the glass and threw
Speaker 4: a drink at Kim Richards. Y'all only use the word
Speaker 4: ratchet as it applies to black people, and that pisces
Speaker 4: me off. And it pisses me off because it's the
Speaker 4: black audience some of y'all who run with that narrative.
Speaker 4: It's the real world. Everyone in the real world. I
Speaker 4: don't know any families or friendships black white agent or
Speaker 4: Latino where people haven't had a huge disagreement that escalated
Speaker 4: and people wanting to defend each other. That's life. White
Speaker 4: folks do it, black folks do it. Everyone does it.
Speaker 4: But still y'all use the word ratchet as it relates
Speaker 4: to what happened in this episode. And then y'all love
Speaker 4: to say, well, oh my gosh, y'all make black people
Speaker 4: look bad. Let me tell y'all something, You are responsible
Speaker 4: for yourself. Not one person of color should feel that
Speaker 4: they carry the weight of the community or their shoulders.
Speaker 4: And we all make mistakes. What's the point of living
Speaker 4: this life if you're going to live this life without
Speaker 4: making mistakes.
Speaker 3: We all make mistakes.
Speaker 4: When you guys saw Will Smith slap Chris Rock, I
Speaker 4: don't think the word ratchet was ever used. And that
Speaker 4: was a physical contact. And what's so interesting about that
Speaker 4: moment is that happened on a mainstream stage called the
Speaker 4: Academy Awards. But that was an act of physical contact.
Speaker 3: So that's not ratchet. But black people are having a
Speaker 3: heated moment.
Speaker 4: You need to look deep down inside and figure out
Speaker 4: where it comes from and why you feel the need
Speaker 4: to say it, and why you feel the need to
Speaker 4: care what the white community feels about you. It's a
Speaker 4: very deeper conversation in terms of why you feel the
Speaker 4: need to judge a group of black folks that had
Speaker 4: a moment that they apologized for and moved on from it.
Speaker 4: Why can't you move on from it while you have
Speaker 4: to put labels on us. That's some deep rudish shit
Speaker 4: that some of you guys need to figure out moving on.
Speaker 3: Oh Pastor King came out, baby, Okay, let me stop.
Speaker 4: So, as you all know, the Real Housewives of Potomac
Speaker 4: is back.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know.
Speaker 4: That's one of my favorite franchises. I love this show
Speaker 4: so much. Mia, who is in her second season of
Speaker 4: the Real house Vibes of Potomac. She recently tweeted a
Speaker 4: video of an upcoming friend to the show named Jacqueline.
Speaker 4: She it appeared she was being filmed cussing somebody out
Speaker 4: and they're trying to say that it was like her
Speaker 4: baby daddy.
Speaker 3: Or something like that.
Speaker 4: So long story short, Mia posted the video, and I'm
Speaker 4: paraphrasing because Mia deleted the post. But Mia called out
Speaker 4: violence and how violence is not okay.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: So doctor Wendy saw that and responded to Mia and said,
Speaker 4: and I quote girl, I know you not talking about
Speaker 4: not condoning violence.
Speaker 3: You threw a drink on me and hit me.
Speaker 4: With your purse multiple times, breaking three nails in the process.
Speaker 4: You are the poster child for violence. Okay, what we
Speaker 4: saw on the super trailer for this season of the
Speaker 4: Real Housewives of Atomac is the fact that Mia did
Speaker 4: throw a drink in Doctor Wendy's face. And yes, it
Speaker 4: happened at Bar one, Miami. And guess that is Peter
Speaker 4: Thomas restaurant. Oh lord Jesus, so rain drops. Doctor Wendy
Speaker 4: just spilled some tea. Girl, I didn't know.
Speaker 3: Y'all got to wait, was this a physical fight?
Speaker 4: I thought she threw a drink on you and then
Speaker 4: y'all were pulled away by security. But doctor Wendy is
Speaker 4: alleging that Mia hit her with her purse multiple times
Speaker 4: and she broke three of her nails in the process. Okay,
Speaker 4: that's not okay. And look, I like Mia. I think
Speaker 4: Mia is a great housewife. I just don't think it's
Speaker 4: interesting when you have to have a physical fight in
Speaker 4: order to have a moment. But I'm also aware that
Speaker 4: shit just happens. My hope is that doctor Wendy and
Speaker 4: Mia are able to move on from this, well, Child,
Speaker 4: Carlos Reginald King the first you just saw that doctor
Speaker 4: Wendy blasted her, So ain't not moving on?
Speaker 3: Okay, I have to talk to myself. Okay. So yeah,
Speaker 3: it looks like they ain't gonna move on from it.
Speaker 3: So rain Drops, I want to hear from you.
Speaker 4: How do you guys feel about physical violence on reality television?
Speaker 3: Do you think it ruins the show?
Speaker 4: Do you think it's unnecessary or do you think it
Speaker 4: shouldn't happen at all and we shouldn't air it. I
Speaker 4: really want to hear that. And again, I'm somebody who's
Speaker 4: aware that shit just happens. But one thing that I
Speaker 4: talked to my cast about, whether it's Love and Marriage,
Speaker 4: Huntsville Love and Marriage, DC Bell Collective, etc.
Speaker 3: Et cetera.
Speaker 4: I talk to them about using the power of your
Speaker 4: words in order to defend yourself, because that's what I
Speaker 4: would like to see in any situation. Let's talk about it,
Speaker 4: Let's have an open discussion and make sure you hashtag
Speaker 4: reality with the King and without further ado, here's my
Speaker 4: conversation with Tama Sharie, who child. We talked about so
Speaker 4: much stuff after the Part two Bell Collective Reunion. Oh
Speaker 4: ray drops, we got the midday Diva in the building today,
Speaker 4: Bell Collective star, Miss Tambra Sarie.
Speaker 1: Hey girl, Hey Carlos, here are you?
Speaker 3: I'm doing good.
Speaker 4: Listen, we have to get into this overall season of
Speaker 4: Bell Collective. The reunion has aired, a lot of people
Speaker 4: have a lot to say. But before we get to
Speaker 4: all of that, Tambra, I want the listeners to get
Speaker 4: to know you. Talk to us Tambra about how did
Speaker 4: you get started.
Speaker 3: In radio being the mid a diva?
Speaker 4: Knowing that you come from very humble beginnings in Jackson, Mississippi.
Speaker 1: I started in college through a internship. My major is
Speaker 1: not mass communications. I actually went to I was in
Speaker 1: business school in management and marketing. I had the NBA degree,
Speaker 1: But I realized when I interned at a corporation, I
Speaker 1: would finish the work really fast. I would start looking
Speaker 1: at entertainment news like that, I would start listening to
Speaker 1: music like I loved entertainment. So I interned at a
Speaker 1: radio station and from there the rest is history.
Speaker 4: And how long have you been a radio personality? Because listen,
Speaker 4: we like to humble brag on reality with the king.
Speaker 3: Because I believe in giving people their.
Speaker 4: Flowers, especially while they're still alive. So you have been
Speaker 4: the number one Miday Diva in Jackson, Mississippi for a
Speaker 4: very long time. Talk to us about that and what
Speaker 4: is your goal with being this radio personality that now
Speaker 4: is a television personality.
Speaker 1: Well, honestly, this is my third radio station throughout my career.
Speaker 2: This is my third.
Speaker 1: Yes, so yes, I started. I started as an entertainment
Speaker 1: news reporter. I started. I was doing overnights when I
Speaker 1: was interning. Then when we became actually on air, I
Speaker 1: started doing entertainment news. And I was doing an entertainment
Speaker 1: news reporter in the afternoons on another station. And then
Speaker 1: when I had I came to ninety seven is Black
Speaker 1: owner bought this station. I was doing television in this market.
Speaker 1: I was actually doing television on CW thirty four. I
Speaker 1: was doing an entertainment television program where I was interviewing
Speaker 1: artists and covering events on that show as well. So
Speaker 1: that's how and then they came. They found out about me,
Speaker 1: and I don't even remember interviewing for the job. I
Speaker 1: don't remember filling out an application. I just came in
Speaker 1: and it was like you're hired, and that's my story.
Speaker 1: I will say this and then you'll learn this about me.
Speaker 1: As far as like internships, I remember the very first
Speaker 1: time I did intern at a radio station. I remember
Speaker 1: walking in and they were putting me with the midday
Speaker 1: personality that was at that radio station. And I was
Speaker 1: so excited because I loved like this person was super talented.
Speaker 1: I listened to her every day, so I was excited.
Speaker 2: And the program.
Speaker 1: Director walked me in and he's like, you'll be interning
Speaker 1: with her. As soon as he walked out, She's like,
Speaker 1: I do not know why they brought you in here.
Speaker 1: I don't even do interns, and that lady did not
Speaker 1: speak to me for weeks. I would just do her
Speaker 1: entertainment news exactly exactly, and we're friends to this day now.
Speaker 1: Now I grew on her, but I vowed to never
Speaker 1: do another female in this industry like.
Speaker 2: I was done.
Speaker 4: You know what is so interesting, I'm so happy you
Speaker 4: shared that story because it reminds me of just how
Speaker 4: important internships are. So I got my start in this
Speaker 4: business being the king of internships because I'm a student
Speaker 4: of entertainment.
Speaker 3: So I would read.
Speaker 4: Endless articles and biographies of just celebrities right and puff daddy.
Speaker 4: This is like in the nineties. He would always say
Speaker 4: intern intern. So, long story short, I moved to New
Speaker 4: York City. I intern at The View twenty twenty primetime
Speaker 4: Live of Barbara Walters MTV, and my last internship was
Speaker 4: at Beet And what you said about your experience is
Speaker 4: very similar to mine. Long story short. When you have
Speaker 4: a calling in your life, it can either make people
Speaker 4: embrace you or make people shun you because I'm just
Speaker 4: gonna say it, because of jealousy and their own insecurities. Long
Speaker 4: story short, this woman was so mean to me. Okay,
Speaker 4: she she was the department head of the network and
Speaker 4: she did not like me at all.
Speaker 3: So mind you. I was twenty five years old at
Speaker 3: this time.
Speaker 4: While some people think at twenty five you need to
Speaker 4: be making six figures and.
Speaker 3: At the height of your career. No, my journey was different.
Speaker 4: So I was twenty five years old, still in college,
Speaker 4: and this woman hated on me so much that she
Speaker 4: would never speak to me. She saw how other people
Speaker 4: loved me and admire my work. And when I got
Speaker 4: hired to be a production assistant, I got paid less
Speaker 4: than my white counterpart, who was also an intern. That
Speaker 4: got promoted to be a PA and he and I
Speaker 4: exchanged stories about how much we're making, and I've realized
Speaker 4: he was making fifty dollars more than me, and I
Speaker 4: was devastated, like, I'm this black boy trying to make
Speaker 4: it at this network and you're paying this white boy
Speaker 4: fifty dollars more than me. Okay, it gets worse. Then
Speaker 4: I got this PA job. She told my boss to
Speaker 4: fire me, and she said, I just don't like him.
Speaker 4: He walks around smiling all day. He's he's always happy,
Speaker 4: which means he's not working. And all I see him
Speaker 4: do is talk to people. This this whatever so long
Speaker 4: story short. It goes to show you that when you
Speaker 4: are coming up in this business, always the tey to
Speaker 4: match negativity with negativity, and you always have to stand
Speaker 4: into your purpose and know that people's problem with you
Speaker 4: has nothing to do with you, and then you have
Speaker 4: to rise above it.
Speaker 3: And look where I am now, Look where you are now.
Speaker 4: And I know my listeners are either starting in their
Speaker 4: career or already into their career, and some may be interns.
Speaker 4: Our purpose is to share these stories so that when
Speaker 4: people are going through this experience right now, they know
Speaker 4: never match the.
Speaker 3: Energy, always rise above it, and.
Speaker 4: I guarantee you you're going to win in the end.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, because you can easily get discouraged in this industry.
Speaker 2: We go through things.
Speaker 1: So what it is when I find women who genuinely
Speaker 1: care about you and who genuinely want to see.
Speaker 2: Other women win. I love that because I did not
Speaker 2: have that.
Speaker 3: Baby.
Speaker 4: I hate t interrupt, but stay two because we'll get
Speaker 4: back into my conversation with Tama Charie right after this
Speaker 4: quick break.
Speaker 3: This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.
Speaker 4: Let's get back into my conversation with Tambra Scherie. Let's
Speaker 4: get started about Bell Collective, a show about women supporting women.
Speaker 2: Are you sure? Are you sure?
Speaker 4: Well, honey, I watched it and sold millions of people
Speaker 4: because this season was litty okay, So with Bill Collector
Speaker 4: first camera around, I'm gonna give y'all some insider tea.
Speaker 4: So long story short, I decided to go through this
Speaker 4: consultation where this wonderful I named Jacoby McGee was like,
Speaker 4: I want, you know, I want to pitch a show
Speaker 4: to you, mister King, about Latitia Pearce's Brunch. I want
Speaker 4: the show to be about that, and I was like,
Speaker 4: I don't know, that's too small.
Speaker 3: I like to think bigger.
Speaker 4: And I said, I want to do a show about
Speaker 4: the movers and shakers of Jackson, Mississippi, black women who
Speaker 4: are married or in relationships or just to show the
Speaker 4: success of these women and also to show that you
Speaker 4: don't have to live in the big cities in order
Speaker 4: to be successful. And long story short, I met Letitia
Speaker 4: and I got a chance to meet all these women.
Speaker 4: Tamborough Cherie was not a part of the pilot. So
Speaker 4: this is what happens oftentimes in television. So when you
Speaker 4: pitch a reality show to a network, nine times out
Speaker 4: of ten, you have to shoot a pilot. It's called
Speaker 4: a proof of concept. You have to show if this
Speaker 4: show is worthy of being greenlit to a series where
Speaker 4: you get multiple episodes. So we did a pilot with
Speaker 4: five black women and Jackson. We have Marie Latrese, Latitia, Antoinette,
Speaker 4: and another female and the show was great.
Speaker 3: The pilot was great. We got picked up to a series.
Speaker 4: A few weeks before filming, one other ladies backed out
Speaker 4: and we were like, oh.
Speaker 3: My gosh, what's about to happen.
Speaker 4: That guy Jakobe I said, look, honey, can you give
Speaker 4: me some more names of entrepreneur women and Jackson.
Speaker 3: I got a list of names.
Speaker 4: I saw Tambracheries tape and I said, there is something
Speaker 4: special about this woman.
Speaker 3: I never told you this story, tamber. I said, there's
Speaker 3: something special about her.
Speaker 4: She has star quality, she's super humble, and I just
Speaker 4: love the fact that.
Speaker 3: She was born and raising jacks.
Speaker 4: And then I pitched you to the network and they said,
Speaker 4: we see what you see, and Miss Tambra got a
Speaker 4: call and two weeks later she started filming Bill Collective.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, it was very.
Speaker 2: Fast for me. Yes, thank you, Carlos, thank you.
Speaker 1: And I tell people all the time they're like hello us,
Speaker 1: and no, for me, it went by so fast. And
Speaker 1: I was the last person to pretty much come on
Speaker 1: this show, and the process went very very fast, like
Speaker 1: we interviewed, and I literally felt like I was feeling
Speaker 1: like you said just weeks later.
Speaker 2: And I'm thankful for.
Speaker 1: That because that goes back to say, when God has
Speaker 1: something for you, it's for you. And I strongly believe that.
Speaker 1: And I was not familiar with you.
Speaker 2: I was already with you. Yes, I was.
Speaker 1: Already familiar with you. Your work like. It's just like an alignment.
Speaker 1: And I share this story all the time. In that
Speaker 1: particular year, when I received that I had Owned on
Speaker 1: my diss board, I had Oprah Winfrey on my division board.
Speaker 1: I did, but in my mind I was thinking because
Speaker 1: I have a book, my book Surrounded by Sin, Grounded
Speaker 1: by Love.
Speaker 2: I had this.
Speaker 1: Book and I knew Oprah had a book club. So
Speaker 1: when I did that vision board, I've always loved Oprah.
Speaker 1: Of course I look up to her, and I had Owned,
Speaker 1: but I did not put the pieces together. There was
Speaker 1: I was not thinking a reality show on own because
Speaker 1: I did not know anything about one.
Speaker 4: It's super inspirational and informational because I had no idea
Speaker 4: that you had Oprah and Own on your vision board.
Speaker 4: And it goes to show you that when you operate
Speaker 4: in your spirituality and manifest the life that you have, it.
Speaker 3: Does come true. I'm a big manifestor.
Speaker 4: Like I love to hear that because it goes to
Speaker 4: show you two Tambra that you were destined to be
Speaker 4: on the show. Because when one door closes, when the
Speaker 4: other female decided not to do the show, it opened
Speaker 4: the door for you to come in and make your mark.
Speaker 4: So let's talk about the first season, knowing that a
Speaker 4: reality show was list.
Speaker 2: Look, I had to tell you.
Speaker 1: I had to tell this story because you just said
Speaker 1: something that made me think about it.
Speaker 2: You just said something.
Speaker 1: You just said something that was not on my vision
Speaker 1: board when it came to own an Oprah before the
Speaker 1: year before, there was a reality show that was trying
Speaker 1: to come to Jackson that actually interviewed me. That was
Speaker 1: a reality show that was trying to come to Jackson
Speaker 1: that actually interviewed me, And it was something I would
Speaker 1: give you a little inside about it, you know, since
Speaker 1: we're talking.
Speaker 2: But they interviewed ladies and men that were.
Speaker 1: Very kind of like super successful, and they were like
Speaker 1: they kept saying the word rich. Okay, So I remember,
Speaker 1: to make a long story short. I remember calling this
Speaker 1: guy who had interviewed me and I said, I don't
Speaker 1: think this is for me. I just really I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm a fit for this. And he told me,
Speaker 1: and it was a Caucasian man, he said, you're making
Speaker 1: the biggest mistake because opportunities like this will never come
Speaker 1: around again.
Speaker 2: A year later, you came around, so trut and that
Speaker 2: show never was picked up.
Speaker 4: So here's some tea from my rain drops. I know
Speaker 4: exactly what sure you're talking about, Tamboro. So I'm not listening.
Speaker 4: People think I'm messy. I'm not really messy because I
Speaker 4: would say the name of the networks. But I'll say this, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'll say this. Two cable networks were trying to do
Speaker 4: a show in Jackson, Mississippi, around the time that I
Speaker 4: was figuring things out with Bell Collector. One network is
Speaker 4: a major network, major cable network, and they wanted to
Speaker 4: do a franchise in Jackson so much so one of
Speaker 4: the ladies that I wanted to be a part of
Speaker 4: my show, long story show, she turned me down and
Speaker 4: she said, no, I'm going to go over here because
Speaker 4: this network is more mainstream. And she said to the
Speaker 4: other cast members who are still on the show, Shade,
Speaker 4: she told them, come over on this show because it's
Speaker 4: going to be a better look for us because it's
Speaker 4: more listen.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna be river ch'all.
Speaker 4: She inferred that because this network had more white audiences, right, Tambra,
Speaker 4: She felt this network had more white audiences and a
Speaker 4: lot of people felt that white is right. And she
Speaker 4: decided not to do Bell Collective because she felt it
Speaker 4: was going to be ghetto and she felt like I
Speaker 4: Am going to be the Queen Bee of this other show.
Speaker 4: And all I'm going to say is that show did
Speaker 4: not get picked up. They shot a pilot and Bell
Speaker 4: Collective is coming on their second season and the rest
Speaker 4: is history.
Speaker 3: But I digress, honey, and I.
Speaker 4: Spoke about this to Akesha because Akesha talked about how,
Speaker 4: you know, she was approach to do real house swats
Speaker 4: in New Jersey. And one thing I always tell my
Speaker 4: listeners is this, you can't always go for the shiny penny.
Speaker 4: There is something interesting about being a big fish in
Speaker 4: a small pond. And in no way and I'm saying
Speaker 4: I'm a small pond or whatever or anything, I'm attached
Speaker 4: to a small pond. A lot of people in the
Speaker 4: black community feel like white is right, and they will
Speaker 4: turn down an opportunity to work with a black organization
Speaker 4: person because they feel like it's too.
Speaker 3: Small for them.
Speaker 4: And as a creator of reality TV, I get that
Speaker 4: a lot from my black counterparts who I may want
Speaker 4: to hop on a show. And I had a conversation
Speaker 4: with a cast member one of my shows and she
Speaker 4: was like, you know, I just wish our shows have
Speaker 4: more eyeballs. And I said, actually, your shows have enough
Speaker 4: eyeballs because look at Melody Hote. She had three singles
Speaker 4: reach number one, and there's other girls on other networks
Speaker 4: who can't even get a number one single.
Speaker 1: For me, I believe every platform I has the purpose
Speaker 1: of its own.
Speaker 4: Yes, I gotta get into your first season. A lot
Speaker 4: of people leave nasty comments on the page's girl, and
Speaker 4: they love to read you for filth. You had that
Speaker 4: experienced season one. People talked about your hair Tambra, They
Speaker 4: talked about your voice, they talked about everything associated with you.
Speaker 4: What was it like, makeup, make up, everything, everything. What
Speaker 4: was it like for the first time experiencing being in
Speaker 4: front of the camera weekly and being judged?
Speaker 3: Was that hard for you?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you that because it wasn't, because actually
Speaker 1: I had gone through that. When I guess host on
Speaker 1: Bring It and then Bring It, You're dealing with kids
Speaker 1: and children who were always on Twitter, and so I
Speaker 1: dealt with that. When I was guest hosting on Bring It, Like,
Speaker 1: people are like, who is this? She looks like a
Speaker 1: little broken version of Nikki Mna girl?
Speaker 2: Who is this? Housting?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: Ye? Like when you're dealing with kids.
Speaker 1: You do have to think about this industry already prepared
Speaker 1: me for Bell Collective because at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: everyone is a critic in radio. So all God did
Speaker 1: was prepare me for what was next.
Speaker 2: That's all he did. That is it, and that's just
Speaker 2: the truth.
Speaker 1: So when it came to that, no one thing, I
Speaker 1: can honestly say, I'm always going to stay grounded and
Speaker 1: I'm always going to have a positive attitude. That's what
Speaker 1: and I'm going to stay that way. It took a
Speaker 1: while to get here. I grew up in this industry.
Speaker 1: Think about it. I've been here since I was in college.
Speaker 1: I've gone through a lot, so that doesn't bother me.
Speaker 1: There are so many people more people that absolutely love you,
Speaker 1: and sometimes people dislike the way people love you, and
Speaker 1: they'll hate you for that, just because the way other
Speaker 1: people look at you and love you.
Speaker 2: And you have to understand that.
Speaker 1: So every like I said before, every platform has a purpose,
Speaker 1: and for me, it has to have a purpose, and
Speaker 1: Bell Collective has a strong purpose for me. Yes, we
Speaker 1: are going to entertain you, but in the same time,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be informed, you're gonna be inspired, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be motivated.
Speaker 2: We're gonna encourage you.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to see something in all of
Speaker 1: us that you're gonna be able to relate to. That's
Speaker 1: what's important. And I'll be honest with you. I want
Speaker 1: to call from my high school from someone in my
Speaker 1: high school this morning that watched last week's episode.
Speaker 2: And I'll be honest, I have.
Speaker 1: Not even seen it all because it's totally honest, But
Speaker 1: I Kisch and I went to the same high school.
Speaker 1: She wanted us. I guess it's bullying going on with girls.
Speaker 1: How do you deal with that? She wanted us to
Speaker 1: come and speak to young women to see how you
Speaker 1: resolve issues and you stick together and show sisterhood. That
Speaker 1: came off of Bell Collective. That's the things that's important
Speaker 1: to me. That's purpose. That's what I.
Speaker 2: Love about it.
Speaker 4: I love hearing that because you know, listen, producing reality
Speaker 4: TV as a black man, I get a lot of
Speaker 4: shade just based on.
Speaker 3: Oh my God, look at You is a drama Cheryl Tayane.
Speaker 3: It's like, girls shut up.
Speaker 4: Like at the end of the day, there is a
Speaker 4: bigger message here, and if you want to just focus
Speaker 4: on what you want to focus on. That's on you, sis,
Speaker 4: But I know that my purpose is I have given
Speaker 4: so many opportunities to Black people in front, up and
Speaker 4: behind the camera. I have given more opportunities to Black
Speaker 4: women in front and behind the camera. I have given
Speaker 4: more opportunities to the lgpt Q IA plus community in
Speaker 4: front and behind the camera. So I don't care what
Speaker 4: anyone says about Bell, Collective Love and Marriage, Hans Bell,
Speaker 4: beyond Core, the list goes on and on. I know
Speaker 4: that I am building generational wealth, not only for myself
Speaker 4: but for the people who are associated with me, because
Speaker 4: I know what it feels like to not have anyone
Speaker 4: support you.
Speaker 3: Tamber knows the same thing.
Speaker 4: You are such an inspiration, Tamber because when it comes
Speaker 4: to your storyline specifically, what I love about your honesty
Speaker 4: is you represent the career woman who said in her
Speaker 4: twenties and thirties, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I gotta, I gotta focus on my career.
Speaker 4: I gotta there's a place in my life that I
Speaker 4: want to be at. And you decided that after forty
Speaker 4: you know what, I want to have a baby. The
Speaker 4: time is now, and you are educating black women through
Speaker 4: the television screen about out listen, maybe don't wait until
Speaker 4: your forties to decide to do something with your fibroids
Speaker 4: and eggs. Try maybe doing that in your twenties or thirties.
Speaker 4: And that messaging has come across and that is the
Speaker 4: reason why Bell Collective is the number one docuseries on
Speaker 4: Friday nights, like.
Speaker 1: Thank You and I'm happy to be a part of
Speaker 1: it because our stories matter.
Speaker 4: No, it does, it does, and listen what comes with
Speaker 4: being on reality television. Yes, is spreading the messages of
Speaker 4: success and being an inspiration, but it also talks about
Speaker 4: some very deep issues and experiencing sometimes, you know, issues
Speaker 4: within friendships. It's no secret that you and Akisha went
Speaker 4: to high school together and that over the course of
Speaker 4: just years y'all kept in touch, not being best friends
Speaker 4: or being close friends.
Speaker 3: But just kept in touch.
Speaker 4: It was revealed on the reunion that you elect made
Speaker 4: it seem to Latisha and Latrees that you did not
Speaker 4: want Akesha a part of the cast. Akesha was on
Speaker 4: this podcast and she felt like after the reunion, she
Speaker 4: doesn't understand the relationship that you and her have. What
Speaker 4: was it about that initial conversation you had with Latisha
Speaker 4: and Latrese where they both felt that tam Bra does
Speaker 4: not want Akesha on the show.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's clear that up. Let's clear that up. Since
Speaker 2: we're here, that's not true.
Speaker 1: That's absolutely not true that I did not want her.
Speaker 2: That's insane. That's not true.
Speaker 1: Now since we're here and we're off camera. When it
Speaker 1: comes to the comment that I made as far as
Speaker 1: her being very blunt, because I do believe a Keisha
Speaker 1: is very blunt. She's been blunt with me. Akesha, she
Speaker 1: is absolutely.
Speaker 2: I remember that from high school.
Speaker 1: She just said some things to me in high school
Speaker 1: and I was like, dang, she is blunt, like she
Speaker 1: is like you know, And I did say she will
Speaker 1: throw some shade. I said that, but let's be clear,
Speaker 1: I initially said that to a producer, not to the girls.
Speaker 2: So when it came to.
Speaker 1: Aikeisha coming on, I asked Akesha herself before casting and everything.
Speaker 1: I say, are you gonna come to Jackson. I had
Speaker 1: a conversation with her. So when she said yes, that
Speaker 1: was it.
Speaker 3: That was it for me.
Speaker 2: That was it. But when I talked to.
Speaker 1: Latsha, I did tell her, look, she is blunt and
Speaker 1: she gonna throw shade. Latitia was out for it. Latinisa
Speaker 1: was like, this is what we need. Yes, it wasn't
Speaker 1: an issue.
Speaker 4: I definitely hear what you're saying and then listen. One
Speaker 4: of the things that really struck struck a nerve with
Speaker 4: the with the bells was the comment about Aikeisha allegedly
Speaker 4: calling the girls ugly or saying they're not cute. Right,
Speaker 4: So let's just say, for argument, wow, why would it
Speaker 4: go ahead?
Speaker 1: Why would it strike a Why would it strike a
Speaker 1: nerve if you think that she's not talking about.
Speaker 4: You, well, I mean, why would it strike a nerve?
Speaker 1: Latrice said it, I know she's not talking about me,
Speaker 1: and she left it alone.
Speaker 3: So when you told the girls that, I didn't.
Speaker 2: Tell the girls, I told her producer. That's why.
Speaker 1: I said, that's where it's that's where the miscommunication comes.
Speaker 2: And I told Latsia.
Speaker 3: Did Laticia go back and tell the girls.
Speaker 1: I'm giving you the I'm giving you the REOs, yes,
Speaker 1: and so I'm going to give you the reality, I
Speaker 1: told Laticia, and I used that as an example when
Speaker 1: she said, as far as blunt, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest, I don't want to give the
Speaker 1: reunion too much away. It was something that she saw.
Speaker 1: It was really something she saw. She had not met
Speaker 1: the girls yet. She saw something and she did not
Speaker 1: and she was just like, oh, girl, they didn't have anyone.
Speaker 1: And she didn't use the word ugly. She was like,
Speaker 1: they didn't have anymore. And that's why I said it
Speaker 1: was she was like, oh, she's blunt like that. It
Speaker 1: was never an issue.
Speaker 3: Let's get into it because the.
Speaker 4: First four letters of reality with the key Huddy is real.
Speaker 3: So let's talk says.
Speaker 4: A lot of people on Twitter have said they felt
Speaker 4: like Latitia was a ghost producer.
Speaker 3: A lot of.
Speaker 4: People, including me, will call that a force multiplier. It's
Speaker 4: sort of the cast member who moves story around.
Speaker 3: But Letitia has been.
Speaker 4: Accused of being a ghost producer by the fan, meaning
Speaker 4: she she goes and tells people think, oh, they feel
Speaker 4: like she has her hands and a lot of the stuff.
Speaker 3: Do you feel like Letsha.
Speaker 4: May have set you up so that there could be
Speaker 4: drama at the hands of Tambora sery.
Speaker 2: I feel like.
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I told Latitia that because I
Speaker 1: did feel like she had a hand in the creation
Speaker 1: and creator of the show. So when we're talking about casting,
Speaker 1: that was why I used that example when I said,
Speaker 1: yes she's gonna be blunt and yes she's gonna throw shade.
Speaker 2: I did not lie. I Kisha brought all that and
Speaker 2: I was here for.
Speaker 1: It, so to be honest, I did not tell a
Speaker 1: lie none whatsoever. Like it's just the reality of it.
Speaker 1: That's what she She brought a lot, and to me,
Speaker 1: they were excited about that, so I didn't really understand
Speaker 1: when it came. But I, like I did say when
Speaker 1: we were filming, I was told, well, tell me, they
Speaker 1: say you don't have drama. I felt like I had
Speaker 1: plenty of drama going on. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: because I felt.
Speaker 4: Like, oh, no, you did that, felt like I had.
Speaker 4: Oh you absolutely did, and we're gonna get into that too.
Speaker 4: But that's why. That's why for me, I'm so confused
Speaker 4: by it, and a lot of people saw at the reunion,
Speaker 4: I was very confused, and someone's Marie to me, it
Speaker 4: felt like Latitia and Latrese had something on you that
Speaker 4: they didn't want to reveal, and it appeared that you.
Speaker 3: Were in the hot seat and it affected.
Speaker 4: How Akesha saw you. Did you feel that at the
Speaker 4: reunion two?
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of felt like I didn't feel
Speaker 1: like I had just friends.
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 1: I felt like that they really That's why I asked
Speaker 1: the question. I felt like I didn't say anything for
Speaker 1: you to even feel that way. To be honest, I
Speaker 1: felt like there was nothing I said for you to
Speaker 1: feel that way. That's why I'm like, what did I say?
Speaker 1: I don't even talk about people, So what did I
Speaker 1: say for you to feel that way? And my intention
Speaker 1: was I thought I was helping get her here.
Speaker 2: That's all it was.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean anything for it to be bad like
Speaker 1: that was never the case. That was never the case
Speaker 1: at all. When it came to casting, I thought I
Speaker 1: was helping oooh okay.
Speaker 3: Oh right, well we cleaned that up. Okay, So it
Speaker 3: all in all? You felt like me me.
Speaker 4: Talking about Akesha's characteristics. Let's say that is me helping
Speaker 4: to get her on the show because the show needs
Speaker 4: somebody who's blunt.
Speaker 3: Because one thing we know.
Speaker 4: I get it now, I see it all. It took
Speaker 4: all that girl, Now I get it. Because one thing
Speaker 4: we know about Southern belles, oftentimes Southern bells aren't aren't
Speaker 4: in your face shady. They're very sly shady. They talk
Speaker 4: behind your back shady, but in your face they're very
Speaker 4: much like hey girl was tee but you felt like
Speaker 4: na Akesha is going to be blunt up in your
Speaker 4: face and that's what the show needs, and now I
Speaker 4: get it, yes, and.
Speaker 2: That's what it needs.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't like people they cannot control,
Speaker 1: and you can't control Akesha and that's what I love
Speaker 1: about her.
Speaker 2: And a lot of people feel that when.
Speaker 1: You can't control a person, they want to have some
Speaker 1: type of control and if you don't have control, that
Speaker 1: becomes a threat. And I love that about her because
Speaker 1: I know you can't control her, and that's what I like.
Speaker 1: That's the person, that's the characteristic that you want. I
Speaker 1: found Aikeisha and our families are into swine, like I
Speaker 1: know like that some of the to they are into swine.
Speaker 1: And we have cousins that are cousins. My father grew
Speaker 1: up with her mom, like our grandparents knew each other.
Speaker 1: So it's like that's why I said, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I know she's big on family, just like me. So
Speaker 1: I look at a Keisha a different way because I
Speaker 1: look at her as family. And you can argue with family.
Speaker 1: I have thirty first cousins. Notice I said first cousins.
Speaker 1: I come from a big family. We can have a disagreement,
Speaker 1: and once we have a disagreement, we're playing at six o'clock.
Speaker 2: And we had a.
Speaker 1: Disagreement at twelve. That's the type of family I come from.
Speaker 4: Well, I Keisha said on Reality with the King that
Speaker 4: it's going to be hard for her.
Speaker 3: To get past y'all beef.
Speaker 4: And she said that she thought she was able to
Speaker 4: get past it, but she can't, and that she's going
Speaker 4: to have and I quote.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: She yeah, she said, and I quote, oh, I didn't
Speaker 3: know that.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let Tamba run around behind Tisha like a
Speaker 4: lab dog, because that's the same woman who brought her
Speaker 4: man's you know, side check on the show.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that. Look, look, I got the
Speaker 2: news to me. I didn't know that. This was after
Speaker 2: the reunion because I talked to her. I dropt some
Speaker 2: gifts off for her kids.
Speaker 3: She said this last week.
Speaker 2: Girl, Oh yeah, but you know what look like like.
Speaker 2: I did not know that.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, well, how do you feel
Speaker 3: knowing that now?
Speaker 2: Ahead I still feel the same I'm not.
Speaker 1: That's not going to change how I feel like at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, that's not going to change
Speaker 1: how I feel, you know. And I say people try
Speaker 1: to play sides, like I've heard things that they try
Speaker 1: to tell me. A Keisha said about me that stuff
Speaker 1: goes in one ear and really goes out the other.
Speaker 1: That's why I say I'm built a little different. I've
Speaker 1: heard things like here. I don't know if they're true.
Speaker 1: I don't care to be honest. I go off of
Speaker 1: people how they treat me, and that's still the same
Speaker 1: how she treats me.
Speaker 2: That's what's important.
Speaker 1: If like Keisha's out there and I'm passing by and
Speaker 1: she's outside fighting on the side of the road, I'm
Speaker 1: pulling over taking my shoes and I'm helping her. But
Speaker 1: the crazy thing about that, Carlos, I would do that
Speaker 1: for each and every one of these ladies on the show,
Speaker 1: even if they will not do it for me. That's
Speaker 1: my character. That is my character. I'm used to cheering
Speaker 1: for people who do not cheer for me, and I'm
Speaker 1: okay with that. I will always be that way. That's
Speaker 1: not going to change, and that's the truth.
Speaker 4: Did it hurt your feelings when you saw that your
Speaker 4: cast members brought the decorator in my Tambor.
Speaker 3: Voice, because Tabah.
Speaker 4: Real Talk said, when you say the decorator, it sends me. I,
Speaker 4: me and the fans of the show have definitely called
Speaker 4: on with your emphasis of decorator.
Speaker 3: I think it's hilarious, but.
Speaker 1: The decorating, that's what she is. She will never be
Speaker 1: able to say that I kept her name.
Speaker 2: In my mouth. That will not happen.
Speaker 4: That will not happen and be real because and not
Speaker 4: saying you haven't been real, you are is real. But
Speaker 4: did it hurt your feelings though, Tambor a little bit,
Speaker 4: knowing that you had to watch your Cold stars and
Speaker 4: your friends film with her and bring her around.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, because I would never do that to them.
Speaker 1: And I've had plenty of chances. I've had people calling
Speaker 1: this radio station. I work at a radio station. I
Speaker 1: have people calling, I have people with stories, I have
Speaker 1: people giving names and dates. I don't entertain any of that.
Speaker 1: People come to me all the time, bring me on
Speaker 1: the show, bring it. I don't entertain any of that.
Speaker 1: That's why I said, you can't expect.
Speaker 2: You from everyone. I wouldn't have done it.
Speaker 1: You saw my parents they've been married for what fifty
Speaker 1: two fifty three years? My grandparents they've been married for
Speaker 1: fifty years. I was always taught the relationship is between
Speaker 1: two people, and that's the success of a relationship. No
Speaker 1: one matters but the two of you. I don't speak
Speaker 1: on their relationships because it's not my business to speak
Speaker 1: on These are marriages. These are marriages. I don't speak
Speaker 1: on their marriages.
Speaker 3: That's just me.
Speaker 2: Everyone is different.
Speaker 1: But I learned you can't expect you from other people.
Speaker 2: Just be true to yourself.
Speaker 4: Speaking of relationships, we saw at the reunion that you
Speaker 4: and Demand are living together and having unprotected sex.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I know that's a lot to celebrate, but I listen, girl,
Speaker 4: work are things between you and Themond now? Because one
Speaker 4: I think about Demand and a lot of people did
Speaker 4: not get a chance to see all the behind the
Speaker 4: scenes stuff of me and the month When I say
Speaker 4: I love Demond, he's such a good guy. Demon is
Speaker 4: a home grown Mississippian and all jumps aside, like he
Speaker 4: and I have a great time and we're together.
Speaker 3: I think he's such a good guy.
Speaker 4: And I listen, No cap I adore Demand, I really
Speaker 4: do and I adored him a lot because at the
Speaker 4: end of the day, he did not have to come
Speaker 4: on the show because we saw that other people man
Speaker 4: did not come on the show child, So I appreciate
Speaker 4: a mom for doing that. How does it feel knowing
Speaker 4: that a lot of people thought, like Tambra, this relationship
Speaker 4: is fake, he's not really into you. It's obvious he's
Speaker 4: cheating on you. Did that do a number on you?
Speaker 4: Reading these things and hearing that low key? Some of
Speaker 4: your castmates felt the same way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to be honest with you, well, when it comes
Speaker 1: to castmates, it's just really let me know how they
Speaker 1: really don't know me, because if you know me, you
Speaker 1: would actually know him, and role people who know me
Speaker 1: know him, And so it did. But I actually, when
Speaker 1: it came to demand, I honestly felt not the best
Speaker 1: for him because I always knew the truth and because
Speaker 1: first and foremost, you can't cheat on someone that you're
Speaker 1: not with. That's just the truth of it. So for me,
Speaker 1: it hurts to see him so upset and so hurt
Speaker 1: because he's here because he wanted me back. That's the
Speaker 1: only reason he's here. That was the only reason he's apart,
Speaker 1: because he actually came in a part of my life
Speaker 1: where he's working to get me back.
Speaker 2: Last season, you.
Speaker 1: Guys had a whole thing ex boyfriend, so you have
Speaker 1: to think about that when we were not together, and
Speaker 1: so when we do make this decision to maybe let's
Speaker 1: try this again, because Deman and I we were apart
Speaker 1: for many years. We were apart, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if the viewers realized that that we were actually apart
Speaker 1: for so long. And throughout those years, you grow, you
Speaker 1: really do. So when you have this like okay, well
Speaker 1: let's try it again, as soon as you try it again,
Speaker 1: it's like you're hit with he's cheating and he knew
Speaker 1: he did not cheat.
Speaker 2: He knew that.
Speaker 1: So he's such a behind the scenes person that he's not.
Speaker 1: He didn't know how to deal with that. You know,
Speaker 1: he felt like he didn't have a voice. He did
Speaker 1: not know how to deal with it whatsoever. He's used
Speaker 1: to being very supportive of me and encouraging me through
Speaker 1: everything because I've always been at the forefront. So now
Speaker 1: when he's hit, I'm trying to steal encourage him. I'm
Speaker 1: still trying to teach him how to deal with that.
Speaker 1: And that does take a strain because our focus now
Speaker 1: it becomes off of us and we're focused on other things.
Speaker 1: I always say, whatever you focus on growth, That's why
Speaker 1: I don't give a lot of things the energy because
Speaker 1: you're only adding to it. Whatever you focus on growth.
Speaker 1: So when I took that focus off us and we
Speaker 1: started putting on other things, it took it. It took
Speaker 1: it off of us, and so we're at a halt
Speaker 1: when we were really working to feel something. But then
Speaker 1: we came at a stop sign because we're dealing with
Speaker 1: other things and I'm trying to teach him how.
Speaker 2: To get through.
Speaker 1: This is not his industry at all. He's not used
Speaker 1: to that. He's not used to critics. He's not used
Speaker 1: to people talking about him like. He's not used to that,
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, you know I am because it took a
Speaker 1: while to get here. Think about how many years I've
Speaker 1: been here. That takes a while to build up. So
Speaker 1: I was used to it, but he wasn't. So it
Speaker 1: takes a strain on him because he's having to hear it.
Speaker 1: Although he's never he's still never sit down and watch
Speaker 1: the show because he just can't. He gets it from
Speaker 1: his mom, his sisters that are mad, his his his
Speaker 1: family that are calling from Chicago, and with they they're mad,
Speaker 1: they're hot, Like his mom is upset, like she doesn't
Speaker 1: know this person.
Speaker 2: She's hot.
Speaker 1: His sisters, his cousins, they want to pay like they
Speaker 1: are hot.
Speaker 2: I'm just yes, they are so upset.
Speaker 1: And his friends and then his job people on the
Speaker 1: they're joking with them at work and like you know,
