<v Speaker 1>with my.

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Rain drop, Like, honestly, you break things down. I'm not

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna lie. I was a little nervous because I was like, oh,

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:43.759
<v Speaker 2>you can't. Carlos is a scholar when it comes to this. Okay,

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>this is this is nothing like your regular decular. So

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm very honest to be here. I'm very much a

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>rain drop, and I'm gonna say it on what you do.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm a fan of yours and I thank you

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>for that. Like you said, we're both rain white studious.

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes you know it's giving version.

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm born again right.

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, speaking of being born, congratulations on the new Bundle

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of Joy. You know what we saw in the most

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 1>recent episode was the beautiful announcement of you surprising the kids.

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I call you'all kids because I'm like double all age,

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>but I thought your announcement to them with baby Cooper

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.119
<v Speaker 1>was so funny. But congratulations. How does it feel being

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>a momy?

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, to be real with you, I love it here

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and I have a lot of anxiety entering motherhood. Like

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I knew I always wanted to be a mom, but

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I think we hear too much about the trials and

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 2>tribulations and not enough about like the good stuff. And

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm just pleasantly surprised that it's more good than bad.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 2>I think more good than sleepless nights. I'll put it

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:49.239
<v Speaker 2>that way.

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I have been telling the rain

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>Drop since season one that you guys are sleeping on

0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Summer's house Martha's vineyard. And our mutual friend Jasmine Hilly,

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 1>who's a fan favorite, Hey Jazz, Hey Jazz. We both

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>have such affection for this show. But I want to

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>get to know you because when season one started, I

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>did call you the force multiplier.

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, listen, let me grab my crowd somewhere,

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 2>because I said, no, he did not. You know what,

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 2>let me keep my head down the side. But I

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>get what you mean. As a storyteller, I get what

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>you met.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. No, you know the thing is this, and you

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 1>tell me if I'm wrong. So I want to hear

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the story about how you were cast to be on

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the show, because for me, I feel like the show

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>was centered around you.

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I get this question all the time, as the honest

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>answer is, I can't speak to what happened before me,

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>but I know when it was insert jazz in here.

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>I received a call and I thought that I was

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 2>tasked to educate about the vineyard. I'm a history girly,

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.080
<v Speaker 2>as y'all know, and I was just excited to talk

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 2>about this place that not a lot of us black

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 2>folk know about and haven't been to. But then we

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>started talking about my life and my husband and my

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>friends and the original trip that we took. So originally

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I went with Stylis and that's the trip that he

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 2>asked me to be his girlfriend. That was twenty twenty,

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 2>my first time there. The next year, we took a

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.479
<v Speaker 2>group of sixteen of our friends and let me just

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>add this disclaimer, only one of them was a couple.

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Everybody else was single. Okay, we love our friends, our

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 2>single friends, our married friends, so we always try to

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.039
<v Speaker 2>get together and have a good time no matter where

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 2>we're going. But on that trip, Jordan was there, and

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the inner workings prior to, but I

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 2>ended up speaking to someone about just that trip. When

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 2>do we go? Who was there? And from that you

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 2>see a lot of the folks that were there, Jason, Mariah, Chanise,

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Preston wasn't able to go, but he was invited,

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 2>and neither was Nick or Alex. Alex was doing his

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 2>own thing in Brooklyn, but a lot of us were

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>there on that first big group trips and the rest

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 2>is kind of history. I remember Colin Silas like, Hey,

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 2>how do you feel about doing reality? And he was

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.679
<v Speaker 2>just very confused. But yeah, just went through the process,

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>as you know, because you are on both.

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Did they reach out to you or did you see

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 1>like a casting bulletin.

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see it, Honestly, I didn't see a casting

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 2>bulletin at all. I just knew that I have a

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of incredible friends. Like the portion of friends you

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 2>see on the show is just like a small amount

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 2>of our friends. And I refer like everybody because I

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 2>love my friends, think they're great, and most importantly, I

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 2>feel like they all bring something different. And if we're

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 2>going to highlight a place like Marcus Vineyard, variety is

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>great too. Like we're not a monolith. We know that.

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>So they gravitated towards who they liked.

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>The producers reach out to you first.

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 2>No, Jordan put me in contact with someone that I

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 2>started talking to about the history, and they start asking

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>me more about myself, so I get what it made

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>sense to kind of recreate the trip that Stylace and

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I put together originally got it.

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Another lot of makes sense. A lot makes sense. Were

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>you fen of reality television prior to being on this show?

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I think I'd be here. No, But I was

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 2>absolutely a fan. I was a Potomac girl. You could

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>not tell me nothing about Potomac From season one. I

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, this is what I love to see

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 2>because it was Patty drama, it was decorum and the

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 2>social politics. It was like a fun key. Of course,

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I've spent most of my life in Atlanta, so of

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.360
<v Speaker 2>course I watched Atlanta. The list goes on and on,

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 2>but yes, that was a reality girl.

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.160
<v Speaker 1>What was the biggest thing that surprised you being on

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 1>a reality show versus what you thought watching it?

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, the listening skills that you need. I think it's

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 2>easy as we live, like our regular lives to kind

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>of just be in your own little world and have

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 2>your thoughts and engage with this person and that person.

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>But in this setting, your mind's going a mile a

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 2>minute because there's so much to keep up with, because

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 2>there's so many things going at once. And what surprised

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 2>me was how much I wasn't keeping up with with

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of us in the house while you were filming. Yeah,

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think that that would have to be a

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>ministry listening. I thought it was a great listener. Apparently

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>not so. Yeah, the amount of attention you have to

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 2>pay to everything going on in front of the camera

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 2>and behind.

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>You have to especially because listen, well, we know what

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:32.119
<v Speaker 1>reality is this there's always a bone collector, hey, Charay.

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>So the thing with a bone collector is they listen

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>to everything and they kind of go back and report

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>to the other folks what was said about them. And

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>then when you get confronted and they said did you

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>say this about me? And you like, wait did?

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I Like?

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember. So one of the qualities of being

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>a reality star, you are right, you have to listen

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>because things can come back to you or things can

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>be said. Is especially if you're friends with somebody and

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>they're like, yo, do you remember this, You're like, child,

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I was too busy, drunk or thinking about other things.

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 1>And the difference with your show is it's a house

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>reality show. So you guys are filming around the clock

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 1>for a few weeks, versus a Potomac right, or a

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>housewife's show where you're filming three to four days a

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>week for four to five months, so it's less intensity.

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>So when the cameras were in your home in the

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>home excuse me, and you were being watched twenty four

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 1>seven Big Brother Style, was that weird for you at first?

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, because to be honest, you know, you're the elders

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 2>start talking to you, especially being in the age group

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>that we're in. Yeah, I heard my mom's voice, my

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 2>grandma's voice, and I think kind of we all did.

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Don't you have us looking stupid on this show? I

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 2>think in the beginning that is going to naturally play

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 2>a part in how you're processing everything happening around you.

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 2>And I know for me that was at play for sure,

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 2>because I love my grandma, like that's my girl, So

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 2>I would never want to do anything to disappoint her

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 2>or you know, make someone else look crazy. But at

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 2>some point I'm brushing my teeth, I'm grabbing my scarf

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.080
<v Speaker 2>we do on laundry. It immediately just you forget.

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Well we saw that jazzman because you and your husband

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 1>forgot that the word cameras in your bed room, and

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>we saw a bunch of humping and bumping and noises

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>being made.

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 2>The baby is not an immaculate consumption.

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.959
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I mean y'all got it in almost every day,

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Jazz main I recall.

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I didn't think it was that interesting

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 2>because because that's my that's my African, that's my husband.

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 2>But okay, I guess go.

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>About Africa, you already drop baby. Yeah, I didn't think.

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.439
<v Speaker 2>It was gonna be top of I didn't think it

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>was gonna be top of news of the day, you know.

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.560
<v Speaker 2>But okay, at least you know, at least you don't.

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 2>We like each other. We're at tracking to each other.

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 2>This is great and healthy.

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.839
<v Speaker 1>And listen, these Africans they wanted every day girl.

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Listen, no comment.

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>But you know what was funny is now I see

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 1>why Silence is like the person I would tell our

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>mutual friend Jasmine. I'd be like, Silence is more of

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the guys that I talked to. And now I see

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>why because the thing about him. The first season and

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 1>your first season of the show, obviously there were tons

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.679
<v Speaker 1>of concern about your relationship with him. A lot of

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>people felt extremely demanding. They didn't like the way he

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.439
<v Speaker 1>spoke to you, Jasmine. They didn't like the way he

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 1>sort of expected you to be this housewife, to be

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>somebody who iron his clothes, picked out his clothes, and

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:06.239
<v Speaker 1>fixed him a plate, these things that black men historically

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>look to their wives to do, especially you know, first

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>generation Africans as well. When you saw it play out

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 1>on the show, and obviously you are new reality stars,

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.719
<v Speaker 1>so rightfully so you're reading a lot of comments and

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people had a lot of judgment on

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>your relationship. Did you have moments where you sort of

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>saw your life play out, saw your marriage play out,

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>saw the dynamic playout. Did you sometimes question like, oh

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.319
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize it was like this, or do people

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 1>have a point and I should be concerned?

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 2>On one hand, I know that was our first I

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 2>know that was my first time with him talking to

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 2>me like that, because a lot of times that we

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.679
<v Speaker 2>were there in the house, I was like are you good?

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Are you good? And they didn't always make the cut,

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 2>but I really was picking up on like what's wrong

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 2>with you? Like the extra irritable that you have, couple irritability.

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 2>But that was just like everything was something was being

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 2>made into something, So that was a first for us.

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>But a year later, when you're watching it play out

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 2>and people are commenting on it, I absolutely agreed with

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 2>don't talk to me like that, like that's unacceptable, Like

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 2>that's just my opinion on it. I don't recommend anybody.

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 2>That's not how I communicate now hindsight to have other

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 2>people comment and really deduce him to I don't know,

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 2>just so old school and ungrateful. That's just that's not him.

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:43.719
<v Speaker 2>And the reality is this vacation filmed versus the one

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 2>we took pride with the big group. He and I

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 2>did the same stuff, like I still got everyone on

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the grocery list, coordinated venmos and cash apps, and I

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.080
<v Speaker 2>operated in the same way, and so did he. The

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 2>only difference is that he was working this time and

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 2>we were filmed, and last time those two things weren't true.

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>But it was shocking, just the visceral response, and that's

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 2>really hard to process. I think anybody you love, especially

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>in partnership, your natural responses to come to their defense.

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 2>But I think because I'm confident in who he is

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 2>and what I will and when I accept, and then

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.719
<v Speaker 2>also where we are it balanced out all the negativity.

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.960
<v Speaker 2>And the most important thing to me isn't someone making

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.839
<v Speaker 2>a mistake, as y'all see, like I give a lot

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 2>of grace to a lot of folks, but only so long,

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 2>only so much. It's really how someone responds when they've

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 2>done wrong, That's what That's what matters to me. And

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 2>he never had any excuse and that took out more

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 2>than anything to me.

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 1>How did he feel seeing himself?

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 2>It was hard, Oh my god, it was so hard,

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Like he would start to watch, especially towards the end

0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>of the season, because we would just watch it together

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.199
<v Speaker 2>because we know what we went through in terms of filming,

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.199
<v Speaker 2>but how it comes together that's out of our control.

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 2>So it was tough. To put it simple. It was

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 2>really really tough for him because he also didn't recognize

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 2>him speaking to me that way. It was tough, but

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>he had to. Whether he got through all the episodes,

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 2>the last episode he has not watched all the way through.

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>If he wasn't deployed, do you think he would have

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 1>came back for a season two?

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>I think so, because one we're not quitters. That's just

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 2>what we've been through worse things in life as y'all

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 2>know than this. And then two, I would have encouraged

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 2>him to come back just because you got to get

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 2>back up. People are allowed to have your opinions. I mean, heck,

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 2>we've watched so many shows on Bravo before even joining

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 2>the Ravo family and had our opinions, So I think

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 2>reminding him of that, he definitely would have been open to.

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Coming back when it comes to your marriage now, because

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the thing that I thought was so interesting was the

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>fact that you two were still getting to know each

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 1>other in a sense right because everything again, it's my

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 1>match's point. Watching the show, I felt like everything moved fast,

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 1>at accelerated pace, and that you guys were essentially milliweds,

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and I know what it's like to be in a

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 1>relationship with somebody and then the moment you live together,

0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>it's like, oh, this is how you are, and it's

0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 1>not like this person has changed. It's more so like

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I have to adapt in this new role of us

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.760
<v Speaker 1>coexisting in the same space. And I felt like watching

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys, I felt you guys represented a lot of

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 1>young married couples in the sense of we're kind of

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 1>milliweds and we're also you guys are watching us trying

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 1>to get to know each other on a different level.

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>And Michelle Obama spoke about this too, where she said like, oh, yeah,

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>there'll be days you like them and there'll be days

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>you don't. There'll be moments where you like, you walk

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 1>in a house and you be like, damn.

0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 2>You still here?

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Shit, you forget that we live together, okay, because ooh,

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 1>so people have this assumption that marriage is a fairy tale.

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>And the one thing I wanted to express to you

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and to him is I applaud the two of you

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>for showcasing what another side of black love looks like,

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 1>because you know, when we hear black love, people think

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>it's like a lot of people thought it was Barack

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and Michelle until Michelle said, we ain't a couple of goals, baby,

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you how it really is, and she

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed her and Barack to be seen on a very

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 1>relatable stage. And I felt like for you two as

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 1>young couples, I feel like you two represented that as well.

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>But do you feel like people forgot that fact that

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 1>you two were like kind of nearly as in figuring

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>this shit out too.

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I think you touch on something that's actually so one

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.760
<v Speaker 2>of the biggest reasons why he would have come back

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 2>is because I can't look around and see a lot

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 2>of black young couples on reality television, let alone television period.

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.159
<v Speaker 2>So that's an honor in and of itself. And I

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 2>do think there is this idea that they just wake

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.120
<v Speaker 2>up with their planners out, are always on the same page,

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:15.560
<v Speaker 2>getting their coffee looking at each other. No, absolutely not.

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 2>So I always appreciate our former first lady for being

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.160
<v Speaker 2>real about that, because we do put them on a pedestal.

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:30.400
<v Speaker 2>But even those two were a couple before we knew them. So, yeah,

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.159
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have your ups and downs, But keep in mind,

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.159
<v Speaker 2>we met in twenty twenty, got engaged very top of

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:41.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one, moved in a couple months after, and

0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:47.120
<v Speaker 2>he went away from his corporate job to start military

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 2>training for six months. Right after that was our wedding,

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.560
<v Speaker 2>So it's not really more so that we got to

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:56.760
<v Speaker 2>get used to each other living in each other's space.

0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 2>We actually are really good teammates in that regard. But

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.959
<v Speaker 2>this big thing that happened was him going away in

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 2>this completely different military environment and coming back and having

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:13.640
<v Speaker 2>this wedding and then joining a show I think because

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 2>no matter how many times people hear that, I don't

0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 2>think that if people put themselves in that scenario they

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 2>can even know how they would navigate that. I think

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 2>that's what's easy to forget that that's just not normal.

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Martha's Vineyard is a town that I've heard about for

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 1>years where it was the top designation for you know,

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:41.119
<v Speaker 1>upper echelon black folks to you know, partake in the

0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:45.280
<v Speaker 1>surroundings in the summer. Yeah, and it's very high esteemed.

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Very talented, tempt Yes, exactly exactly was the toime receptive

0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.040
<v Speaker 3>to you guys being there because it's you know, it

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:55.960
<v Speaker 3>has a lot of higher up echelon people who are

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.000
<v Speaker 3>a part of it is their legacy as well.

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Well. To be honest, I still don't know. What I've

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:09.119
<v Speaker 2>heard from my older mentors, who are very much connected

0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 2>with other women that do summer on the vineyard is

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.919
<v Speaker 2>they don't mind that we're getting this opportunity. That's fine,

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 2>but they got their limits and their boundaries. What those

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.760
<v Speaker 2>are I don't know. But one thing I had to

0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 2>remind myself is it should be allowed for however we are,

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 2>as young black folks, to just exist in vacation so

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.200
<v Speaker 2>all that pressure that I can't speak for everybody else

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 2>on the show, but I can speak for me, all

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:43.639
<v Speaker 2>that pressure of who am I Jasmine Minister Marie's grand

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:47.639
<v Speaker 2>baby from Saint Louis to represent this community. I had

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.800
<v Speaker 2>to let that go because I'm allowed to live my life.

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I know the amount of integrity that I come with,

0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.639
<v Speaker 2>and as a group, we're allowed to just have a

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:59.879
<v Speaker 2>good time. Like it's called Summerhouse, it's a vacation. Things happen,

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.679
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I have nothing but respect for them, But

0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, maybe they can join two.

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Are they invited? Because we don't want them to be

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 1>kicked out the way y'all did Phil and Mariah.

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:12.879
<v Speaker 2>This is not Survivor. This is not Summer House Survivor.

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I promise it's not. But yes, they're invited. Everybody's invites

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 2>you to cook out. It's a vineyard when you go,

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's a very welcoming energy. So we have that.

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.200
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna tell you what my eyeball saw, honey.

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Season two is everything. We're loving season two and obviously

0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.120
<v Speaker 1>in the most recent episode, you know, we saw Phil

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 1>talk to Preston and there's conversation Maria and Phil coming back.

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I was not happy when Mariah and Phil Werson home, right,

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna tell you why. I think me and

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 1>you and our white shirts with Africans are going to

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:51.400
<v Speaker 1>think the same thing too, child. So I felt like, okay,

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:55.439
<v Speaker 1>what's wrong with them being there? Like, let's not divide

0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.640
<v Speaker 1>the sort of social circles of black people in that space.

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And although one may not be, not my words, a

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of people the most polished, right, doesn't mean they

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:11.439
<v Speaker 1>can't coexist in our science. Because I'm from Detroit and

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.679
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I grew up not with a silver spoon, honey,

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 1>it was definitely a plastic fork and again humble beginnings

0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 1>with a bougie mine. And the reason why I think

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people people were so triggered by Phil

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and Mariah being sent home because it felt like, what's

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:35.399
<v Speaker 1>wrong with them? Like we're not agreeing with Phil taking

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 1>a dump and not flushing no toilet, but worst things

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:41.679
<v Speaker 1>have happened, like we got Bria with her dog honey

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 1>do dooing on the carpet, the grass, the pool. But

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I think all of us felt like not all of us,

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 1>A lot of us felt that, which.

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Is which is these are not like the other, Like,

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:54.640
<v Speaker 2>if we're gonna speak on it, let's speak on it.

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Are they uncouth? Is there an aesthetic? Like? What's wrong

0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.680
<v Speaker 2>with what's what's different? What's the is? Are there undertones

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.520
<v Speaker 2>to this? You know what I mean? And the reality

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 2>is no, I was there, so there wasn't. But I

0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 2>can completely understand how you get a side eye from that,

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:16.880
<v Speaker 2>because one, we didn't think anybody was gonna be voted home.

0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 2>That was gonna happen, period. And two why them that's valid?

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Was upsetting to you like it was to me and

0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:26.240
<v Speaker 1>my homegirls.

0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:31.160
<v Speaker 2>You upsetting me and my homegirls. I'll be honest, Phil,

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:34.399
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really know like that. So sorry to that man.

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know him. I never knew him like that. Mariah,

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:42.320
<v Speaker 2>that's my girl. That is my girl. So I'm the

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 2>type of person and this can be a good thing

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:47.439
<v Speaker 2>and a bad things. I can be very diplomatic, I

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:49.439
<v Speaker 2>can be very maybe it's the capricorn to me, I'm

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.359
<v Speaker 2>very black and white. And so if we're setting a

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:55.919
<v Speaker 2>precedent of okay, this is a boundary. Now. Granted I

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 2>never saw what happened until I watched with y'all so yes,

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 2>I was frazzled with this position that I'm put in,

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 2>which happened a lot. I feel like season one is

0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:09.480
<v Speaker 2>that Stilas and Ira put to his parental roles before

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:13.399
<v Speaker 2>we've even became parents. But I did not feel like

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 2>it was fair for Mariah or not speak her piece,

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 2>at least because I had every intention as a peacemaker

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.160
<v Speaker 2>that I am to sit those two girls down, even

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 2>though I was shading Bria all season one. I was

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:25.640
<v Speaker 2>never going to not have them sit down and talk

0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:27.639
<v Speaker 2>about like we're grown, what is this, this is a

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 2>big thing or not. But I didn't like coming across

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:34.120
<v Speaker 2>as like a not a good friend. And although Mariah's

0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:36.680
<v Speaker 2>my best friend, I'm friends with everybody in the house.

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:39.480
<v Speaker 2>So imagine being in that situation where you truly are

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 2>you have a relationship with everybody and then looking at

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you like get your homegirl. That's a lot of pressure.

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 2>That is a lot of pressure.

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:49.360
<v Speaker 1>How did Mariah feel after she got sent home?

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 2>She definitely felt she definitely felt betrayed, betrayed by me,

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 2>but then also by some of the girls that were

0:23:55.680 --> 0:24:01.919
<v Speaker 2>all on my Bachelor trip Bachelorett trip months before. So yeah,

0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:04.959
<v Speaker 2>she definitely felt like, did I really know y'all? Like

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.120
<v Speaker 2>why me? And I get it because I can live

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:09.679
<v Speaker 2>with the news to her, but no.

0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 1>So this season is so good, Jasmine, and it's nice

0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:18.439
<v Speaker 1>to see the gang back together, and obviously we have

0:24:18.520 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 1>some new additions as well. When it comes to a

0:24:21.880 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 1>second season of any show, when people see themselves on

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:30.160
<v Speaker 1>season one, one or two things happen, or sometimes both.

0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:34.360
<v Speaker 1>You get the well, I'm the star, and I mean

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm the fan favorite, so like whatever, So that happens,

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the ego starts to form, right because being a reality start,

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:46.119
<v Speaker 1>you're famous overnight, literally overnight.

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Right. The other thing that happens is people start to

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:55.399
<v Speaker 1>censor themselves because they saw how the audience responded to

0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 1>them season one, and they come second season they're not

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 1>as vocal or they act different because they're like, no,

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not doing that because I don't want people to

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 1>say this, or no I'm not doing I'm not gonna

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 1>say all of that because if I say that, they're

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna take it this way, right, blah blah blah. Did

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:13.680
<v Speaker 1>you see some of those things happening coming into season two?

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't really hanging out with everybody like that, so

0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:19.479
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't even in the mix prior to walking back

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 2>into the house, to be honest, so I can only

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:24.919
<v Speaker 2>speak for me. I feel like for myself and Alex

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 2>and Nice, what I'm proud of us for individually is

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:31.959
<v Speaker 2>opening up and being more vocal about just who we

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 2>are and how we feel about things. That was the

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 2>musk for me, because season one was it was cool,

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 2>then it was humbling. That was the musk for me

0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 2>going into for other people, I'm not gonna lie. I

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:47.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of feel like everybody's more of themselves, if like

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 2>more of what we saw season one, Like I don't

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:51.720
<v Speaker 2>really see any one eighties for real.

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Did anybody develop an ego?

0:25:55.720 --> 0:26:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Those swelled up, those swoll up, I feel for

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 2>some people, for some people, and it's not even like

0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 2>an ego and a bad thing. It's kind of a

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:09.639
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a little bit to do with kind

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:12.680
<v Speaker 2>of where we are society wise, and we're very individualistic

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:16.320
<v Speaker 2>and it's very like I gotta do this, me, me, me,

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Like what am I doing? I gotta get to where

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to go. Like, I think it's more so

0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 2>from that and culmination to probably feedback, but the fact

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 2>that we haven't seen anybody go completely like one like

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:33.840
<v Speaker 2>who is this person? Speaks to the fact that no

0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:36.359
<v Speaker 2>one really thought of them thought more of themselves in

0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 2>that way, if that makes sense.

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Who would you say developed the biggest ego.

0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:46.399
<v Speaker 2>Jamaica crew the Jamaica crew less stay heard? Amen?

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:49.360
<v Speaker 1>So for those who may not know, can you explain

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>who the crew is? For those who may not know?

0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so some are put together a trip to Jamaica

0:26:55.600 --> 0:27:00.280
<v Speaker 2>prior to filming, and that included I don't recall all

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:06.240
<v Speaker 2>was invited initially, but that included who actually went summer herself, Preston,

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Jordan and Shinis. They went to Jamaica, had a good

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:14.600
<v Speaker 2>old time, a good old key and you know, they

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:16.880
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Are they still enjoying themselves to the fullest?

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's definitely trouble in paradise the Jamaica crew is.

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:27.560
<v Speaker 2>They're not exactly where they were when we started the season.

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:29.400
<v Speaker 2>So I can't win them all.

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess, well, no, you can't win them all and

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the one so I don't have favorites, but I because

0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I love the cast. One of the ones who I

0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:43.040
<v Speaker 1>just think is great television because I've never seen anything

0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:46.400
<v Speaker 1>liking on TV before. I really do like Nick.

0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh interesting, tell me Moore.

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Nick is a He's a quiet hit. And what that

0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:58.959
<v Speaker 1>means is it's not every day on reality TV you

0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:04.640
<v Speaker 1>see a black man who is not only very much

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:07.920
<v Speaker 1>into the esthetic, like into the fascists, into their looks

0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and their parents, and who isn't hyper masculine. And you know, like,

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 1>what I love about him is I feel like he's

0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 1>so authentically him, you know, and he lives in his

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:27.920
<v Speaker 1>own skin and as a black man in this space

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:30.600
<v Speaker 1>and always being around black men my whole life, right,

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:34.600
<v Speaker 1>I know that sometimes as a black man, and I'll

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:36.919
<v Speaker 1>speak for black men as a black man, when you're

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>around other black men, sometimes you feel the need to

0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 1>sort of like be this tough guy or like be

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 1>a hyper masculine.

0:28:45.000 --> 0:28:49.440
<v Speaker 2>No, none of, none of. Honestly, my favorite part of

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 2>our show are the men, and I could honestly say

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:56.920
<v Speaker 2>that has never happened amongst them ever last season. This season,

0:28:57.320 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 2>they have this great camaraderie that I just wish you

0:29:01.840 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 2>could see more of. To be honest, They're my favorite

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 2>part of our show, hands down, because they're all so different,

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 2>each and every one of them has had such a

0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:15.520
<v Speaker 2>tender moment, an authentic moment, an honest moment, a goofy moment,

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:19.600
<v Speaker 2>and they really do let each other just be and

0:29:19.640 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 2>support each other, like the brotherhood is real, and I

0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 2>personally love to see it and I would love to

0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:27.320
<v Speaker 2>see more of it. But it's interesting you mentioned Nick

0:29:27.360 --> 0:29:32.440
<v Speaker 2>because Nick and I weren't the closest, not in terms

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 2>of any friction. We just, I guess, gravitated towards other

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 2>sides of the group, and we realize that after filming

0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 2>this season. But I agree with you and that there

0:29:45.040 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 2>is a delicate nature to how he wants to be

0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:54.440
<v Speaker 2>soft with how he's presented himself in a good way,

0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 2>like what she sees, what you get. You're gonna get

0:29:57.160 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 2>this purple label, but what she sees what you get.

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:04.760
<v Speaker 2>And I do think every one of them have are

0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:07.200
<v Speaker 2>really just I can't even find the word for it,

0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 2>which is shocking.

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 1>No, I think they're all just refreshingly themselves and as

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 1>nice as seems. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's refreshing. And

0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I felt I want to I want to get your

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:20.520
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on it, because when the conversation came up amongst

0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the group, that Nick was handsy. How did you feel

0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:23.320
<v Speaker 1>about that?

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, I was like quietly on pins and needles, because

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:37.160
<v Speaker 2>here's what happened off season. To my knowledge, Jordan's summer

0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:41.000
<v Speaker 2>pressing and Nick were like a square. They were all

0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:44.720
<v Speaker 2>very close. And so when it started to be talked

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 2>about from Jordan in summer, I'm like, well, am I

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 2>missing something? Because y'all did get really close, Like it's comfortable,

0:30:50.440 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, it's comfortability. How it comes across on

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:57.719
<v Speaker 2>screen is how it is in real life. And I

0:30:57.760 --> 0:31:02.120
<v Speaker 2>was nervous for him to be honest, because are we

0:31:02.160 --> 0:31:05.400
<v Speaker 2>going somewhere that we can't walk back. Let's be very

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:07.560
<v Speaker 2>specific and how we speak about this and what questions

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:10.200
<v Speaker 2>we ask and how we bring it up in this setting.

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:14.280
<v Speaker 2>So when it got to a point where he just

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>went upstairs to talk to Jordan in summer, watching that,

0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh my god, so you did just

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:24.000
<v Speaker 2>go to dem and talks to him. Okay, cool, you

0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:27.080
<v Speaker 2>can hash it out. I felt so relieved, And I

0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 2>honestly felt like, I don't know if we've seen this

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 2>on TV where someone was like validated so quickly and

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:38.160
<v Speaker 2>something that really could have gone left. I felt very

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:42.040
<v Speaker 2>happy for him because I know he has the best intentions.

0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 2>I know that, and even if it's hard to read

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 2>sometimes he's always a person that's happy to talk about it.

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:53.880
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I was nervous, but I was very happy

0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 2>that everyone was like, no, this makes sense, not to

0:31:56.640 --> 0:32:00.120
<v Speaker 2>invalidate jordan in Summer's feelings or any of the other girls,

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:03.880
<v Speaker 2>but it really didn't come up to being more like

0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:06.600
<v Speaker 2>when you're drunk, you just get real like life of

0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:08.520
<v Speaker 2>the party. Hey, y'all, da da da da, you know

0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:08.960
<v Speaker 2>what I mean?

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:13.840
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, no, and I thought, listen, I'll give everyone

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>credit involved for having the conversation. I give Nick the

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 1>credit for immediately confronting a hit on, like, hey, I

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about this, like do y'all think it's

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:28.960
<v Speaker 1>about me? And I appreciate the women for feeling safe

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:31.200
<v Speaker 1>enough to say, well, y'all, we feel this way, and

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:33.640
<v Speaker 1>well we don't think it's that, but we're just you

0:32:33.680 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 1>know whatever. So I thought it was a very mature conversation.

0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 2>But I can see how Nick might be like, so,

0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:41.120
<v Speaker 2>if y'all did feel that way, then what do we

0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:44.240
<v Speaker 2>talk about? I can tell he was still processing that

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 2>for sure, and I understood because I'm just like, should

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 2>I change how I'm interacting with the if I were him?

0:32:50.360 --> 0:32:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Should I change HOWM interacting with the women? Or is

0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:55.880
<v Speaker 2>it was it just a one off? That's what's unclear.

0:32:56.240 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, congratulations, it's been announced that you guys are

0:33:00.440 --> 0:33:03.720
<v Speaker 1>getting a reunion. When it comes to reunion, we know

0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the importance of having first chair, right, I've heard who

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:15.120
<v Speaker 1>should have the first seat next to Andy at the reunion?

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:16.520
<v Speaker 1>There's two first seats.

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I know. I'm just gonna preface by saying this, this

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 2>is so hard, and I've also been like, I've seen

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 2>it on social media, the conversation, and I see what

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the folks are saying. But we kind of touch it

0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:34.479
<v Speaker 2>on two seasons, and there is no clear one villain

0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:38.680
<v Speaker 2>this season. It's a couple of them. So are we

0:33:38.800 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 2>going who's the villain? Or we're going with story. I

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:45.400
<v Speaker 2>don't know if we're going with Sorry, I just feel

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:47.120
<v Speaker 2>like one of those shares should be mine. I mean

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 2>left or right. I mean I'm not hard to please. Okay, No,

0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be very honest with you. This goes without saying.

0:34:01.080 --> 0:34:04.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not to diminish anybody else, but the rate in

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:07.680
<v Speaker 2>which my life has been shared and what I have

0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:12.640
<v Speaker 2>openly let everybody into. I think that is of note.

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 1>So who's if you and the first seat, who should

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 1>be opposite of you?

0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go with who I think I will

0:34:18.200 --> 0:34:21.520
<v Speaker 2>have fun being opposite in me. I have to say, Preston,

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I just feel like I just feel

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 2>like we took my answer.

0:34:26.960 --> 0:34:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking you and Preston as well.

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like, because let me tell you why, Preston,

0:34:34.840 --> 0:34:38.520
<v Speaker 2>We're not exactly the same, right, But I feel like

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:42.680
<v Speaker 2>he also He's I don't want to sound ageus, but

0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:45.319
<v Speaker 2>he and Nick are the oldest, and I do feel

0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:49.560
<v Speaker 2>like Preston has this elderly statesman era to him, but

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:53.799
<v Speaker 2>he knows how to give a good read. So you're

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 2>thinking about in terms of where my head wants to

0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:57.400
<v Speaker 2>turn to, I just want to look across.

0:34:57.560 --> 0:35:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. So my prediction is it's you and

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Preston as well. That's so funny.

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:04.919
<v Speaker 2>Dang, I'm kind of sad we're in think I wanted

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 2>like a different.

0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, because the thing is this. Listen Carlos King's

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:14.600
<v Speaker 1>prediction and low key hope for the first chair at

0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the Summerhouse, Martha's Vineyard Reunion is Jasmine and Preston should

0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:24.800
<v Speaker 1>have first chair because you two are the force multipliers

0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:28.360
<v Speaker 1>of the show. And although Bria is a great Villainy

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:30.919
<v Speaker 1>and Bria, that's a compliment. That's a compliment, by the way,

0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:35.200
<v Speaker 1>don't take you you know, it's a huge one. It's

0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:38.959
<v Speaker 1>a huge one. Although Bria is a villain, I think

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Preston will give a good o funny shade read moment.

0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I think Andy is going to live for all the

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Preston's commentary. And I think you you have a way

0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of explanation and decorum and your whimsical but you're also,

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:00.520
<v Speaker 1>like you said, you have a lot of story. And listen,

0:36:00.840 --> 0:36:04.160
<v Speaker 1>dare I say, I think in terms of the women,

0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:08.759
<v Speaker 1>to me, you're the face of the show. So thank you.

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 1>It has to be you, and that's why you're talking

0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to me first while I'm talking to you. Although I

0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 1>love all the girls and the.

0:36:17.560 --> 0:36:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Guys, extremely humble love that for you. No, I mean,

0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:27.880
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing. It's what I do love about this season, honestly,

0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:31.480
<v Speaker 2>is that, like I said, there's no clear villain. Everyone

0:36:31.560 --> 0:36:36.719
<v Speaker 2>has a moment and some of the girls are rubbing

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:39.880
<v Speaker 2>people the wrong way. That's why I said there's not

0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:44.400
<v Speaker 2>one villain, there's actually like three because everyone has a

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:50.279
<v Speaker 2>different point of friction that is unsettling the group, so

0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:53.040
<v Speaker 2>you can't. But that's why I didn't go with one

0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:58.280
<v Speaker 2>person for a chair, because it's like there's three, especially

0:36:58.280 --> 0:36:59.839
<v Speaker 2>if you look at social media right now and if

0:36:59.880 --> 0:37:02.400
<v Speaker 2>you just watch as the episodes are playing out. Like

0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I said, it's not black and white, it's very gray.

0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Let the rain drops know, honey, what they can expect

0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:12.600
<v Speaker 1>from the rest of the season of Summer House Martha's

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Vineyard that y'all can catch every Sunday at nine o'clock

0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 1>a Central on bra Yes.

0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:22.360
<v Speaker 2>And Mondays on Peacock. I think this last episode I

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:27.880
<v Speaker 2>announced it I'm Pregnant, was a nice holid cleanser. But

0:37:28.880 --> 0:37:32.760
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the season you're going to really see

0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:38.480
<v Speaker 2>why this group specifically has so many layers, like we're

0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:44.080
<v Speaker 2>all onions and with the significant others coming and you know,

0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Mariah and Phil making a little though as you saw

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:53.319
<v Speaker 2>on the previews, it is a recipe for hopefully a

0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:57.960
<v Speaker 2>greenlit season three. That's what I will say.

0:37:58.760 --> 0:38:01.640
