your fridge hmm going on months now though you're never going to believe this but i actually accrued about 40 pumpkins right do you remember this i said on this podcast you can't get a good pumpkin beer in la and the readers you came through you were sending me a fleet a true fleet of pumpkin beers they are still in my fridge and i'm making a dent in it today oh my goodness i really i'm not you know me i'm not always a bigger guy not really no but i feel like there's something so commanding in our guest's presence where she just she held up the most beautiful tall glasses viewer i've ever seen in my life one of the tallest classes in america we should say that was one of the tallest classes in the country it was one of the tallest classes i've seen in this great country of ours and i have to say i i thought maybe for a second we were drinking just some sort of like thick prosecco and then it was it was revealed to be a

beer and so we're all celebrating with some brewskis right now we are she's off the clock from her her quote unquote day job and she's relaxing with us i mean i aren't you so thrilled that our guest is here this is beyond this is how i know beau that the podcast has um you know quote-unquote made it yeah you know though despite the fact that the podcast has received critical acclaim and been cited in academic work for our insight into the entertainment industry i do have to say that this uh may be the highest accomplishment thus far is securing the guest i absolutely agree um we are such fans of hers we both love the memoir we're holding it in our hands right now podcasts are famously not a visual medium if they were you would see that we are holding the guess like just incredible book love me as i am which is out on april 12 don't wait till the 13th hun if you're out there waiting it's not a good idea because you

can go on the 12th and get the pre-orders in why don't you i mean you were saying earlier about how you ran to our guest at some sort of fancy event and just watching you guys sort of discuss fancy pre-awards events i was just like nice so much to learn is what they're called in the biz i've had the pleasure of meeting her already with her producing partner lisa glam oh my god lisa was wonderful lisa l wilson bovee wilson productions let's just let can we quickly just do a little little run-through of the credits for our guests it's like so fruitless because the the the credit list is so stacked but let's just go ahead and say you if you're a listener a reader rather of this podcast you certainly know our guest from the real housewives of beverly hills and when we say day job we do mean the real which to my eye and i i do have sort of a hoe and die is the best panel show on television yes we should establish for our guests

that matt has has an incredibly wide or diverse palette in terms of daytime television and for matt to really love the reel the reel is the best in a superlative way the superla it's just it's just superlative after superlative with our guest the the best daytime talk show jamie fox show the house down coming to america yes that is a two and of course it's original coming to america i mean we're talking about nypd blue we're talking about i mean just this is a this is an iconic day wait she's in one of my favorite one of the most iconic episodes of curb your enthusiasm there you go with the surrogate also part of one of the best twists in marvel history okay oh my god you're so right let's not sleep on it all right we can't oh my god this actor is in the mcu you know she's she she was in the blip i think she survived the blip uh we actually i don't know i wonder if she knows if she survived the

blip or even knows about the blip we're gonna find out she's shaking her we're gonna find out but we're so excited she's here the book is love me as i am out april 12th please welcome into your ears first of all i could listen to you guys all damn day no it's this is a trial log you're in this now you are so funny both of you oh thank you thank you do you know what the flip is no i don't know what the blip is okay so thanos kind of the big baddie in in the avengers movie snaps his fingers after he gets the infinity gauntlet wipes out half of uh life basically so half of the world it just disappears into dust as it were and you know for about three to five years i don't know what the exact time frame is you know the people of earth are sort of traumatized by this crazy event and some people survived it some people did but then in the end things are all things are all good and people come back to life

oh well i hope i'm not in the blip i mean i think what we think about doris tombs is which is of course the character's name um she may have perished in the snap and come back in the blip but so but who's to say really who's to say who's today i have to tell you guys when i got the offer for this job first of all i was like playing on the floor with my kids yeah my manager calls as you know you know that world and he calls and he goes you got a movie offer and i was like great and he goes but i don't know anything about it and i can't tell you anything about it and it's a secret project and i thought are you high like yeah and then he goes it's marvel and i said hang up the phone and call them right back yes and it was a great part i mean like it really like there's that scene so for those who don't know at home you find out that doris tombs the character played by garcelle is not just the

mother of peter parker's love interest in the film but the wife of the villain played by michael keaton himself how about that first of all michael keaton is my favorite batman hands down wow so when i flew to atlanta we shot there um i didn't even know my part and the first day i'm in the club michael keaton comes up and he gives me this big hug and he goes i did good picking a wife and i was like what oh my god batman batman crazy michael i feel like that is such a perfect like vibe sort of encapsulation on your career it's like people want to work with you crazy i'm just a little girl from haiti i could have been selling coconuts but you listed in the book like towards the end like i got i get to work with all these amazing actors in this wide breadth of projects and it really is like it hit me by the end not that this is new information to me but i go wow she really has had this incredible career

right like jlo when she won her icon awards i'm just getting started on it yes no it really feels like this is like i mean we've been fans for a very long time like i i always remember you even way back from the 90s because i used to watch the jamie vox show which sometimes would you've always just had such an incredible like magnetic screen presence and i always remember seeing you on red carpets and everything and then to be honest like a couple years ago when they said that you were joining real housewives of beverly hills that kind of felt like a left field thing for me but now and watching it and watching you especially on the second season um really find your way you are a great housewife and i feel like it's like it's like i still can't believe i am when people go you're a household like a what yeah i mean literally i panicked though the week before um they were going to start airing you

know my season um i was at home and bravo was sort of doing a recap of the past season and i literally freaked out and called my girlfriend and go oh my god oh my god it's incredible was it this moment where you were like you you you saw you had the foresight in that moment to be like oh i'm gonna be on this show and i'm gonna be in these little clip cuts going forward now yeah yeah definitely i mean like wow and i've said this before like you know like you guys are saying about my career i've done some incredible things here and there i've worked with some incredible people here and there i have never gotten more attention than when the announcement of housewives came out yeah i think you wrote about in the booktube where you were like you know you you know you got the offer and it was this calculated risk for you to be like do i want to do this what what do i gain from this uh and i think you said that

you gained like this platform being given to you and then you took that that's the thing that you took very seriously and i feel like i feel like you saying this is kind of hopefully proves out that like this was a worthwhile thing for you that like now like for you to say that like this is the thing that people know you in right now is is a huge deal yeah it is a huge deal i mean you know the fans are just so invested in in all the franchises but i feel like beverly hills is like the mothership right yeah it's unbelievable how people want to know what you're doing where you're doing it i've done interviews where people go the vase in the background is different now and i'm like what oh my gosh they wanted the backstory on the vase they want to know the drama with the vapes i used as in a as a short aquarium and i had dorit and kyle that's right the goldfish so they're both gone now they're gone

you know that's what happens with fish kyle andery both dead it's the season it's like it's like friendships on house lives they come and go they change um but yeah i was thinking and reading the book and just and watching you as much as we've watched you now like that does have to be you know for because i always think when someone has a successful acting career and then they go on housewives like it is a risk because you know it's sort of opening up people to then make a va like a judgment on you as a person and i guess nowadays everything kind of blends in a little bit more like we see people and they play roles and i guess maybe because it's social media or because the media is so sensitive now it seems to matter less but you have been doing this for a very long time so that also had to be a consideration like do i want to be a reality star right totally i mean when my uh you know my team

called and they said you know they're interested in you for beverly hills they're like we're going to pass but since you know so many people we just want to let you know and i was like wait a minute and they were like no and i'm like no no let me sleep on it and you know i've always done things sort of like outside the box in terms of like i've written children's books i've you know done television hosting for other other shows so i've always done other things so that for me i just had to really sit with it and i didn't want to travel so much as an actor so many things are not shot in la and i felt like i was always away and i have my kids half the time and they were about to go to middle school and i thought sex drugs and rock and roll is knocking at our door and i want to be home yeah talk about the sex drugs and the rock and rolls yeah so when i called them back and i said you know what i want to do it and i

always feel like i always say yes to a meeting because you never know even if it's not for that project but at least you get to meet new people and who knows right yeah so i was like let's try it let's go for it and then i obviously had to talk to my ex and my kids and my son jax goes are we getting paid i'm only in it for the money i was like no you're not getting paid but i'll hook you up there you go he gets something like some bump in his allowance you know what we forgot to mention the podcast going to bed with garcelle oh god which which and this is another thing about the book which i love is the words getting my back blown out are in this book so if you think that we are not keeping it absolutely you say you keep it real in the very first opening lines of the book and you fully do that and then i love that you have a podcast which is like fully focused kind of on that topic because

you talk about how it took you a very long time to sort of get to know yourself like that for sure for sure listen i grew up in a in a uh a haitian household which is very strict we don't talk about sex we don't talk about anything really that's deep or you know controversial so when i started to you know find myself realize you know who i am and what i like what i don't like um i realize you know it's liberating for women now to talk about sex and own it and you know you have songs like whopping and you know women are coming into their home yes and i also remember it was like i think it was on house lives it was your first lunch with erica jane and i remember you asked her how's the house with time even she eric and jane like had to take a second to like she was chewing she was she was she was chewing food i think she was good chewing but you know she she was caught off her guard um and i was

just like yeah but that is the question we all want to know the answer to it's the one we haven't asked he was 80 something right 81 yeah at the time and yeah i mean she's a hot hot girl you know what i mean yeah i'm i was dying to know like what are you doing are you you know servicing and put tucking them in and then doing your own thing are you servicing and tucking them in honestly what where where are we at on the on the scale here we really don't know but i guess that that must have taken time to build to that level of candor where you kind of just can straight up ask someone with a camera rolling how often do you have i mean like like i feel like that because i because yeah i relate as a child of immigrants as an immigrant myself like i mean we never talked about sex growing up in the house either we still don't really and i think i'm still like unlearning a lot of that and i hope to one day ask

someone if they're having sex with their 80 year old spouse i think you can though i think you're there yeah you know we relate on that for sure um i remember when i moved to new york at 17 and i came home to visit my mom and she saw birth control pills in my purse and she said you've had contact as if you had you know we were spiritual aliens like you've had contact and that was the extent of it and that's it and that's all that's all kiki said that that was that was it really i mean we never really talked about it so for me i mean once i went to new york i sort of like you know she when i say in the book she gave me the wings to fly that was my chance to go find who i am or at least try to figure out who i was and you know what i liked and what i didn't like and who i you know just who i became yeah but it was definitely a process you know i wouldn't have asked anybody at 17. how's your sex life sure

well i feel like you are very honest with yourself in this book and i feel like i wonder how you had to how much you were to catalogue the intimate connections you would have with people speaking the podcast you did write in the book how you and jamie you had jamie on yeah and you guys kind of both waxed nostalgic about your time on the show and you you did mention in the book and this is just this is just me quoting the book that there were some like fireworks crap like just popping backstage behind a steamy kiss a steamy cat see me kiss i mean we got to kiss as the character which was always great and jamie would always go how many takes do we have time to do oh my god i just want to perfect my craft what that one steamy kiss was backstage and it wasn't character based and uh yeah i mean he's a great kisser he's uh he's just a great guy and uh but i knew you don't blank where you eat yes yes i

didn't want to like god forbid something happened on episode six right or you know not having a good time at work right you know and not to bring matt and i's experience into this but i think we are we're starting to learn that it's like literally i like i like reach for my notebook to write that down i'm like it's so funny i have this notebook here because i've been mainlining the new brene brown and i'm like taking notes like like i'm like it's really good and honestly bone you'll be proud of me tomorrow i have my and maybe you will too garcelle tomorrow i have my very first therapy appointment ever i'm finally doing anything and um and so like i'm just very interested now because i just finished the job and i have some time like you know just like you know getting to know and just the way she breaks down emotion and everything so love that you're gonna be you're going to become an amazing person not

that you're not but we can always improve we can always grow work in progress even like she she like she broke down emotion she said emotion is biology biography behavior and backstory and i just think even as an actor that helps wow you know that's such a interesting the four b's that tool but i reached down to to fake write down that advice to myself from you and i saw don't don't blink where you blank don't like where you eat eat but yeah bone and i could learn that better that's for sure that should have been one of my gems oh yes the gems you have do you have the gems in the in the back of the book they're these beautiful beautiful like encapsulations of like uh you know all your sort of principles i guess is for lack of a better word um okay so i know you guys got the pre-copy you have to get the actual book because the pictures in there are amazing i do want to see pictures tell us what what

are the pictures of tell us oh my god of everything of me as a kid me with tom ford me with jamie foxx i mean michael jordan there's a few people in there okay i love the michael jordan story so garcelle tells a great story about basically how michael jordan was fully marking up her tree back in the day and you didn't know who he was i didn't know who he was unreal essence magazine and uh you know i got hired for the job i was going for a fitting and they said tomorrow you're working with michael jordan and the way they said it i knew it was somebody that was important but i didn't know what it was there was no google there was nothing yeah i'm so excited cool no idea who he was and with that name michael jordan it could have been anyone in america you know what i mean he was he was just a tall guy to you like you still know he was he was a tall chocolate man he couldn't have been nicer and the way

everybody was spawning and so after the shoot i called home and my brother was like are you kidding oh my gosh that is truly unreal he was great did you know that every year thousands of law students from around the country get together and try to beat the living daylights out of each other it sounds a little like mean but it's fun to just tear something apart and if you think there's nothing more fun than a bunch of law students arguing all day and all night you refer to homeless individuals as mr ratzo join me katie fang for class action a podcast for people who like to listen to people who like to argue objection all of a sudden we take lawyers they graduate law school and we expect them to walk into a courtroom and talk about life and death and millions of dollars without any practice follow the trials and the tribulations of four schools from around the country fighting for the right to defend you

listen to class action on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast hello i'm ron burgundy host of the wise and philosophical ron burgundy podcast i believe it was confucius who once said i ain't afraid of no ghosts i'll bet this confucius guy never saw a ghost from the revolutionary war they are a different breed of spooky my friend i would know because a ghost appeared on my podcast this season and that's just one of the many surprises we have for you in season five of the ron burgundy podcast clowns opera singers anderson pock dan stevens so much more and the whole season is live in front of an audience so yes there's a lot of laughter and a lot of tears i've been reduced to rubble come for the ghosts stay for the guests that was not great listen to the ron burgundy podcast season 5 on the iheartradio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast it's one thing to catch a criminal who

kills for greed he was a man who craved power and was very lustful or catch a criminal who kills for anger he was crazed when i look back on it now i think wow i'm lucky he didn't kill me but how do you catch a criminal who kills for god i understand what it's like to live in a terrorist organization i understand how mothers who strap bombs to their children feel i'm jesse hyde as a journalist i investigate crime and religion a few years ago i stumbled on a story of a murderous mormon cult who operated unseen for generations the costumes the beard the clothes they were disguised and no one could identify them it's like a mafia right as i dug deeper into this story i learned of a desperate hunt to stop irvil lebaron the man who seemed to control it all listen to deliver us from herville on the iheartradio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts i have a question i think it was your

first season was when you um went out to lunch with cherry zampino and all of y'all's friends and now cheraye is on the show yes so and you mentioned that you dated will smith like was that before charade or like what was what was the deal with that um i think actually we talked about this the other day i can't remember it was after her marriage they were divorced and he was doing fresh prince and i did like four episodes of fresh friends and like right that was two different characters it was the weirdest thing oh you played two different characters yeah and we liked her bring it back bring her back and uh so yeah so you know i mean that was an ingenue he was single and and you know a tv star so we went out a couple of times it wasn't a long lasting um relationship but i remember one day calling him and he was in the car and his son with sheree were he was in the back so uh he picked up on the you

know in the car and bluetooth or whatever it was back in the day or speakerphone and uh and he said hey how you doing and i said i'm great and i heard this little voice in the background go is that miss jada oh oh my god i was like okay i'm not the only one exit stage left unbelievable like you to be like girl it is not about you you better get out of there it still could have been about you please if a kid knows of somebody then that person's a little horrible right but you're not gonna like fight for that spot no because it wasn't like that okay okay i get it i got it it was cash it was cash this is something pretty historic about you garcia for there to be two actors playing one role in aunt viv you might be one of the only people in the fresh prince universe to be the same actor playing multiple parts i know that was so crazy i came in as when he went to school when he got to the private school

um and then i came back as a different character in the apartment when they had that big guy come in and we had to hide him i mean it was crazy it was shenanigans but it was such a cool show like you know we didn't have a lot of shows that were for us in a way right and that's what made jamie foxtrot so special was because it was one of those like jewels in the crown of like black sitcoms totally that's that's that's great i mean there was another i think there's another story in the book about eddie murphy being like another like one that kind of got away yeah i mean but but you you reunite with these men like but that's what's so like mature about this whole thing is and so beautiful it kind of speaks to your you know your perspective over the years is that you can still like approach these people in this very professional way that still has a lot of emotion and heart and memory associated to them

thank you i appreciate that i mean i think for me my background in the way i was raised has a lot to do with it's like my foundation right so with eddie we worked you know on coming to america the original and listen there were so many beautiful women on that set it was like we were all hired just for that right i had gone up for the lead role which i had no business doing i knew nothing about acting and so of course i didn't get that part but john lannis i remember called my modeling agency i didn't even have an agent and he was like if she wants to be in the business this is a great way for her to see what it's like and be a part of it and it was like a three-month shoot and so um i decided to do it and everybody was vying for him i mean you know i'm sure well yeah we had a really great chemistry and he was really cool and really he was such a gentleman yeah even then when he was his star was rising

there was something about him that was still a gentleman and i like that yeah yeah classy guy really classy guy i barely sort of you know crossed paths with him when he was hosting snl a couple years ago but it was such like a i mean all of us like sat around being like we wouldn't be here without him you know this saved the show you know like it would have just ended after you know five ten seasons or whatever it was great to see him back on the stage it really was it was phenomenal to see yeah yeah so fun and we talk a lot about all these roles that you've played but you really do seem so comfortable being yourself on the reel and then i didn't know that was one of your ambitions like from way back was to always wanting to be a talk show host and always i mean i didn't know it was a talk show host but i thought journalism entertainment you know and um i remember we had uh you know like you know how you

have in school you have a channel at school and you know we'd get to go up and tell the news or whatever was happening and i always wanted to do that and so even before acting and i remember my agents and you know my people would always say but you're doing so well like why would you look at it at that time people weren't really diversifying yeah right you know if you were an actor you were strictly an actor if you were a model you were strictly that and so i waited and waited and then finally um got the chance you tell a story about um spending a week at the view oh my god oh this i really couldn't hear it because it's like you you do i mean everyone needs to to get the book to especially like people that listen to this podcast like love when we talked about like little ladies who punch however you know people want to receive that but it's it is so fascinating like the view is such a integral part of pop

culture and there is that fascination about what goes on behind the scenes because you know you hear certain things and then i would imagine that when you go there and you do sort of get at this in the book too you just think it can't possibly be the reality you know what i mean it can't actually be that and then it is yeah and what was really like the just the position of both is i was in haiti when i got the call that they wanted me to come do a week so here i am in a country that you know there's not a lot um and uh and the women in haiti are so prideful whether you have a nickel or whether you have you know more money it's just like there's a sense of pride and ownership and faithful you know hopefulness and so going from there where you know there's there's a lot of lack yeah flying to new york where there's everything right and i and and i go and i was just expecting like come on in garcia we're so excited it

was right who's here today that was pretty much how it was and in a way i get the sense of there was a lot of they weren't sure who was saying there was a lot of different people in the chair so i get that but at the same time for me if someone comes into my home i'm always welcoming of course of course absolutely can we get specific about some of these interactions though i mean i i guess multiple women on the on on the panel were just sort of you know terse for lack of a better word that's a good word and it feels i it's really just i think i think i was just pretty a gate when i was reading this like oh my gosh but i guess it's no surprise to someone like matt who really is well versed in in the view and yeah knows what's going on well did i ever so did i ever tell you this is our first time eating garcia did i ever tell you about the time no but you know what bone and i went to the view one time we did we did and we

were in the audience just because actually it was because so i'm a huge kelly clarkson fan and she was she was a guest on the show so i guess a producer on the show was like we can get them tickets people that listen to this podcast i've heard us tell the story but wait were you honest now at the time no it's it's well it's funny because it was the day that i got the call that i was hired to be a writer and but it was it was a really tough day because matt and i had both auditioned had screen tested the same year they bought it they brought us both in twice and that was the day we found out that they were offering bow and a job and not me so it was yeah it was it was it was a lot and we were going through it was an emotional day yeah but we one the one thing that like broke the tension between us and like really made us laugh was what was going on with julian that was going to the view and they did this

dance contest like where all the women in the audience like did this goofy little dance and the the crowd motivator was like all right we're gonna have um the panelists are gonna say who won and they will and she goes whoop who won the dance contest and wilby just goes i don't give a about this it was both iconic and also filled in a lot about probably what the situation is there yeah but it was very informative that one moment was very informative totally totally i mean we screamed laughing that is hilarious and i'm sorry you didn't get it oh it's okay i'm doing just fine i i know you are i know he really is he really is i know you are this story i'm going to sidebar a little bit i used to i used to uh model with cameron diaz yeah in l.a we used to model together and she's the greatest girl and i remember we used to model with this other girl named elizabeth and elizabeth had a audition

for what's the the first movie camera danced was it the memory the mask the mask maybe yeah yeah yeah so they were supposed to hang out and elizabeth said to cameron come with me and then we'll hang out right after wait oh my god i've heard this story yes and the casting director goes are you reading for this the camera goes no i'm just with her and they're like no you need to read with her and then cameron becomes a big star yeah but you sort of had that same story too where you were tagging along with a friend who was playing an extra who's doing background work yes yes yes yes and that that sort of like gave you the the bug yeah yeah that totally gave me the bug i didn't know what an extra was and he's like at 75 dollars a day and i was like count me and that was funny and uh this was in miami and so i did it was an orange juice commercial and on the second day i uh i had the courage to go to one of

the principal actors and it was really pretty black girl and i said hey i want to do what you're doing and she like whoopi said i don't give a and so i found out who her um her age agency was with a green marie and so i borrowed my mom's car driving to fort lauderdale i stopped at a red light i put my head out the window to check my makeup i decided that i needed lip gloss i'm in my purse now looking for lip gloss a hand comes in the car scares the out of me and it's a card it's the woman who was in the traffic light behind me and she's like you should be a model and when i look at the card it's the agency i was going to without an appointment unbelievable crazy yeah that is a sign that's one of those stories though that like you don't really get any more in the business now it's like people just discover people through like you know social media which is great but there is there's something

like so like legendary about something like that and i never i i've known about this story like from reading in the book and from senior interviews but i still it just still like gives me a little like me and i lived it yeah it's so crazy you can't make that up it's so funny too because like i remember when i was younger and i would read stories about like you know so and so was discovered on the street i remember when i moved to when i moved to new york at 18 bone and i went to nyu and so we both moved to new york at 18.

very similar very similar age to you and it really is when you talk about like you know new york city is like it's the most exciting city in the world but when you first get there it is so lonely and so crazy because everyone knows exactly where they're going and what they're doing so i remember like i said to myself you know what i should just do walk the streets because you can get discovered so i would go out there and like it was like the first week of nyu and i would just go walk around like trying to look like i was somebody you're going somewhere and someone did stop me and they said bone have i ever told you this i don't know someone's super stopping me and go did i ever tell you this no um yeah um but i'm walking on the street and someone did come up to me and was like i'm not kidding you they were like have you ever thought of modeling and i was like literally in the back of my head i

was like it's happening i did it yeah it's happening to me i've been in new york for less than a week and i'm being asked to be a high fashion model so i take the guy's card and obviously it's one of those like scams so just like to get like little twink twinkie boys on roofs and take their shirts off so i did i did unfortunately like take some like creepy photos on a roof when i was 18. so not as glamorous as your story but i also don't know where those photos are oh my god we have to find those photos nothing yeah please let me get my people on it we all start somewhere absolutely i was so excited to see you and i told you this one you know the night before party the iceberg is the funniest thing i have seen thank you very much i was like who is this guy oh over and over again that's so sweet and i will say i was there with 80 brian and vanessa bear matt's co-star in this upcoming showtime show but the three of

us were kind of like walking around kind of like rolling our eyes going uh whatever there really were and but i just want to say that the three of us were the most excited and starstruck to see you and lisa at least it was so wonderful oh we were so excited we like stopped we were like telling you we're like we're so on your side in all of the different conflicts it was the height of hashtag team garcia i mean it was it was i really i remember they they all texted me after that because and i'm telling you like on the set of my new show which i'm on a show with molly shannon and vanessa bayern is so talented yeah number one and wait till you wait till you see her in this um but like so they all jam about housewives all the time and everyone is team garcelle obviously how could you not be but before we ask about the culture that made you say culture was for you i did just want to ask about

about the experience of being on the show in that second season because i remember like there there were more and more difficult conversations that happened i think your second year than your first year and you talk in the book about um you know your exchange with kyle who i've always liked kyle on the show and really was shocked when she when she pulled that stuff on the reunion um when she accused you of not paying for the charity um and then when you had that conversation with her that sit down i do actually think it changed the show so much for the better because that type of conversation really needed to be had and then as the season progressed i actually thought that while a lot of those conversations were successful some of them i felt i felt like i'm specifically thinking about the scene where you all were at dinner i think it was you're on a trip and you and they ended up sort of like really coming down

on you to the point where you sort of broke down a little bit because they they weren't taking you um they weren't believing you when you said you felt like an other in the group yeah and i felt and this is something that i think i just i talked with you bowing about too that the show kind of framed it as like and we finally got to know who garcelle was more in that moment but also part of me felt like wow you really needed to break this woman down at this dinner for you to understand even a little bit and it did feel a little vulturish to me um like they were waiting to break you down in that moment yeah and we know we know that certain women on the show play certain roles you know i love lisa arena i love watching her as a character on television but sometimes i feel like it maybe goes a little far um and i felt like that was one that was one instance and i wondered if you could speak to

that outside of being edited on the show to say a certain thing yeah yeah yeah no you know that was really hard for me and when i kept on saying that i felt sort of like other it's because i truly felt that way i didn't curse you know anyone really reached out when you know it was supposed to be real friends like weren't reaching out outside of the show yeah i felt like when i spoke it i wasn't being heard and i felt like i wasn't also sometimes being seen so it just kept on building up and building up and building up and you're right a lot of people were like it's a shame you had to break down for them to actually see you and get to know you but at the same time i feel like that helped me too okay because um it allowed me to let them see me be vulnerable which i think which is crazy that i needed to do that but i felt like it didn't make me closer to some of them yeah but it's a it's a tough show i mean it's the

hardest job i've ever had honestly really it's me it's not a character i can't find it people really care and are invested and um and what's hard for me is connecting with someone and then but not trusting it a hundred percent right you know that's what's really hard is like yeah i can be friends with them but do i trust that yeah and you know i've struck a a great friendship with sutton and um and kyle and i love that kyle was open enough to hear me and have that conversation i really do because what i was trying to say is and i say this in the book the fact that she knew how to get in touch with me yeah and um you know we all chipped in to get 5000 masks when you couldn't get masks anywhere for a hospital all right so we all paid for that so like why wouldn't i pay for this charity and uh also you're good for five thousand dollars i mean come on what the hell yeah and so um but when i spoke to

her i felt like she really got it we didn't have to labor it but being on the show if you have a diverse you know housewife how are you not going to have diverse conversations right you know what i mean and i don't think they've ever really had to have those type of conversations until i came along and there was a different um tone to the conversations you were having compared to and i i i happen to be a fan of both styles but crystal was having very sort of um i would say not explosive but just like just very to the point she was very to the point i feel like your sort of style and your approach is to offer some grace and for and some latitude for people to realize their actions but but to also absolutely but then to also bring your vulnerability into it is very brave and i will say something that really stayed with me from the reunion this past season was you know i don't know where things stand

with you and lisa now but i think right now but like you and rena sort of had this pretty intense exchange where you were really like holding your own again she was really coming after you and you you killed it you were i mean you were you were very solid and steady the whole time and then she finally you know has that moment where she crosses over sits next to you and it's like can we please just move on from this and there's that pause and i know i don't know if it's the editing or what but the there's that pause and then the way you you just look into her eyes and say you got it i was like wow what like what a beautiful moment of classiness and of grace and forgiveness thank you i mean you know i've known rina for 20 years you know what i mean and uh and i i think a little bit of her has changed with the show but at the same time i was willing to say okay let's really let's really go for

this and i can't wait for you to see this new season i'm excited i mean i i said i said from the beginning when they when you first had the scene with shuri and uh all those ladies i was like where's that show and so now now to have cherie on the cast i wonder did that make it so much more fun or how did it how did it change the dynamic for you no no it was great and it's so funny because she comes in and she goes did you call for backup i can already hear that line of the trailer exactly and uh it's been great i mean she comes in like eight maybe you know in like eight episode eight or whatever um but yeah it's just nice not to be the only one in the room someone that i that i know has my back you know and it's been uh it's been fun and every now and then more now than then she will look at me and she goes girl what'd you get me into what i know she was look at me and she'll go what the hell

was aspen one of those times oh yeah she had no idea that was her first trip and she was like i can't i just can't it sounds like that will go down in history this upcoming aspen trip yeah we'll leave it

aspen really but you know it was just a lot i mean in three days i i can't we did so much oh i see it of course yeah did you know that every year thousands of law students from around the country get together and try to beat the living daylights out of each other it sounds a little like mean but it's fun to just tear something apart and if you think there's nothing more fun than a bunch of law students arguing all day and all night you refer to homeless individuals as mr ratzo join me katie fang for class action a podcast for people who like to listen to people who like to argue all of a sudden we take lawyers they graduate law school and we expect them to walk into a courtroom and talk about life and death and millions of dollars without any practice follow the trials and the tribulations of four schools from around the country fighting for the right to defend you something listen to class action on the

do you say we ask russell the question i'd love to go ahead carcel so here's the thing here on lost coach we love to ask this following question what was the culture that made you say culture was for you this is that formative thing in the pop culture lexicon movies music television can be like just something that was in your surroundings that made you when you look back you oh for me it's a couple of things i think you know culture for me started when i when i heard r b music in my soul i would go visit my my cousins in dorchester massachusetts yes and that's the first time i heard heard r b and i was like what is that because obviously i heard you know haitian music and compa and salsa and all that stuff but to hear r b i was like what is that who was singing and it just it was everything to me and then from there i would have to say like tv shows like um like good times that was i didn't see us like you know on tv

so that was it and then i would say i would jump to clueless clueless culture yes that was rich kids that was you know um that was that was big for me i hate to say that you know what's funny the only oh you are our second housewife we've had on and dr wendy osefo was the first and she said clueless she said clueless she said clueless what yeah yeah she also wasn't she's a nigerian immigrant and she said that that was like she had like especially seeing like dionne and then she said yeah dion was everything everybody wanted dion um all the girls wanted dion um oh my god from there i would say would thelma and louise be culture oh my god

shirtless yes i mean i think that was the first time that i got moist i mean in many ways same did things to my body i didn't know were possible it really it really is such a visceral sex appeal i mean i mean i mean but even now like i just we just saw him in the lost city

we shot in the dr it was lovely it wasn't it wasn't it was in haiti i know but it was just what a beautiful part of the world um what did you shoot with i shot with sandy with sandy bullock and chan you're your co-star channing tatum i'm sorry sandy yeah sandy we're on sandy turn she's in the phone as sandy sandy sandy b but but then it was also with channing tatum you're your co-star yes so white house down i go to shoot i'm in the trailer i come out of the trailer and channing is walking towards me i swear to god it was slow motion yeah and i could not believe somebody was that fine i can't believe he's incredibly incredibly awesome and so nice so so wonderful yeah really great guy but i i think i had that same sensory experience too where he know but in terms of like it felt so like like that is a movie star like the air in the room just like changes that is amazing i remember the first time i saw chatting

tatum in coach carter and i was like absolutely coach carter he was he was literally one of the high school it's like a basketball movie um yeah i know the movie i didn't even realize he was in it it was like i think the only other thing he had done or was gonna do was like step up came like maybe right after and i was like but who is that i mean he is he's just so physically perfect yeah that it's that it's jarring and yeah i guess like the only other person on screen that really cut through like that might be like brad from way back in the noise and in this movie it's channing and brad sort of doing like a few scenes together sharing the frame and you go where do i look you know you're like these two people who kind of just like are playing off of each other like physically in a way like one like they both look like each other do you know what i mean right right i can't wait to see i'm gonna watch it this weekend

especially anyway but you're in it oh thank you thank you brad is like an awakening for so many people i hadn't seen fight club i hadn't seen them and louise i came in late on the brad train oh okay but he was eating food he was like eating stuffing his face and every scene and i was like he can make that he can make eating look sexy yeah great some people got it i want to ask um so when you said r b music who were your favorite artists oh my god back in the day for me it was my first concert was teddy pendergrass because my sister did that seti pendergrass um everybody from like the jackson 5 to marvin gaye to i mean there's so many and one of them this is not rmb one of my favorite songs is stairway to heaven that's a hard left i'm a complex girl absolutely you contain multitudes yeah i similarly um like for some reason like i was i'm a white kid from long island but i started listening to like exclusively like late

90s r b so i looked i i was recently home and i found like a cd jacket and it was like brandy monica mariah when she put out the butterfly album like lauren hill miss education of lauren hill was cute it's the best album ever ever we just had the grammys and i was like i was i was thinking to myself like every that's all that's great work but then where are the formative albums you know what i mean like miss education that was like a formative album sound when you said r b i just thought of my own like awakening with that but look at how bruno mars like how many awards he won last night that at the grammys that you know it goes to show you that there's still people that love because i feel like he's sort of old school r b he's a throwback yeah and and john baptiste too just like so what what a talented multi-talent i didn't realize he was doing all that um i didn't either i was blown away and

i started following him you know as soon as i finished watching the show and i'm obsessed talk about a gorgeous man too oh my god he he is stunning too and it's so funny because like you see you forget that these guys are like band leaders on late night shows like quest love winning the oscar john that's he's sweeping the grammys and they're literally like on colbert and fallon killing it every night and i thought to myself like that has to be a demanding around the clock i would imagine because you're like musical directing these huge shows and then they also have time to create these brilliant works right i mean just so cool bravo bravo bravo all around for sure absolutely bravo oh no i didn't even realize that i didn't even oh god that's funny have you ever done that or now it's like you don't you know not too it worked apparently how is denise i think she's good we text we haven't seen each other she's good

yeah um i think she wanted to come back but i think that door is closed now oh i you not you call them the front available people yeah and then they're getting relegated to the nosebleeds yes sometimes you gotta put them up there if they if they're not living up to their you know front row status but yeah my front row is everything like we don't have to talk every day but when we need each other we are there and we know who we are and they uplift they check you if they need to i mean if it's what you want and friends you don't want friends that are just going to say yes you're amazing every day of course it's not real that's great i don't i don't take that for granted in my life at all like i i look around and i go wow i'm so lucky to have these people who i get to just be honest with me and not not not not everybody necessarily has that right right yeah in this business that we're all in

you know you you want to know who's really there for you absolutely yeah i think that's also a reason why it's really important to keep those people that have been with you for a long time like you know i think bowen said this the other day i think we've been friends for 14 years like and it's it's just so funny because like so life has so many ups and downs and changes but i still feel like i can say anything to bowen and i think he can say anything to me and i would get nervous if i felt like i couldn't tell my friend the truth exactly exactly you know they may not like it sometimes but i think that's what being friends is you know it's about yeah yeah yeah i wanted to ask about like the the relationship with you and everyone on the reel too because and the reason why it's my favorite panel show was because it not to like you're not just saying that no no no no no no no he means that i watch it i well

i don't watch it live every day but i always go on youtube and it's always all over my landing page because i really do genuinely think you guys talk about important like i i think that you talk about life things and i love how emotional the panel gets and it feels it feels like it really walks the walk of being the real because you know i just think everyone on the show is such a star and you have really filled it out in such a great way um but i've been such a fan of adrian's for so long i remember the first time on star search i'm not even kidding i said she's a star and when she didn't win i was like this show is up um and then you know jeannie as well i'm such a fan and so not only do i like everyone individually but it's the chemistry together that is not just handed to you no you know it's been so great i mean i had been on the show before yeah um you know promoting whatever it is that i was promoting but

it's another thing to see them every day and especially now that we're in person i mean we can talk i mean sometimes they have to shut us up between commercial breaks so we can come back you know no because we just have although we're all women of color we have so many different like our lifestyles are different oh yeah you're about and it's really great that there's no judgment you can just say how you feel and we accept it even if we don't agree yeah there's genuine disagreement too without feeling nervous like when i watched the view i actually had to stop because i feel it's too much like especially when megan was there i would always feel nervous like it made me anxious to watch and i didn't need more social anxiety in my life so but when i watch the reel it's it's offering perspective and there's real listening happening yes that's a really good point thank you for saying that thank you i

hope it doesn't go away what's the story do are we i don't know it started off as a rumor we haven't heard yet and we we end at the the end of this month so you know hopefully readers watch the reel you got to watch the reel i feel like it's it's filling this whole that um not to not to invoke this but i feel like i feel like you all talk about health which in a very like honest way that like i think hasn't been talked about since like oprah like i think oprah was the was like kind of the last daytime person to like talk about like specifically like women's health in a way that was just like necessary yeah and i feel like the four of you kind of are able to hit on that in a very honest way and before you are very open about what each person is going through no i love that too and i feel like we can also talk about our community better than anybody else because yeah which is really great so i do love that

i love that we talk about mental health we talk about women's issues we talk about everything and we have fun doing it today actually when i left lonnie had switched her wig around and she was ridiculous it was hilarious lonnie is just one of the funniest people she's got it and and not not to bring up my own work again but i do remember one of the first like people to compliment me on the iceberg yeah lonnie tweeted it like was just shouting it from the rooftops on twitter just being like that was bow and yang wow and i was like lonnie lonnie love just saw that oh my god like i just i freaked out i think i was the first to screenshot that and send it to you because yes peek behind the curtain i was actually sitting here on this couch recovering from a rhinoplasty that i needed to have so i'm like literally it's not it wasn't enough that i didn't get it a full face bandage watching bow and

slay on television and i was just like i'm so proud i can't even cry or smile or laugh because it would hurt but um but i then went on twitter just to see what everyone was saying and lonnie love had popped all the way off about the iceberg it was so good it was so good but she's so good about supporting people like that she loves that that's important yeah i can i can we can totally tell that she's just like she's she's real she's she's on the reel yeah did you know that every year thousands of law students from around the country get together and try to beat the living daylights out of each other it sounds a little like mean but it's fun to just tear something apart and if you think there's nothing more fun than a bunch of law students arguing all day and all night you refer to homeless individuals as mr ratzo join me katie fang for class action a podcast for people who like to listen to

about the evening but not that i see okay this is this is perfect prefacing this is matt rodgers because i don't think so honey his time starts now i don't think so honey people dragging amy schumer for that bit with kirsten dunst and jesse clement so she asked kirsten dunst to get up because she thought she was a seat filler so she could if her like flirt with jesse clements and people on twitter actually thought she was being disrespectful to kirsten dunst you guys i don't think so honey it's called humor it's called jokes i understand we had all just been through a shared traumatic moment watching what happened unfold but we can't lose our sense of humor amy schumer is the host of the show everything she does on camera is a planned bit there are no moments of riffing well as you know that's probably not true but with the host that's not how it works i don't think so honey also people are not giving kirsten dunst the

credit just because she played that expertly and made you think she was annoyed doesn't mean she wasn't in on it she's an amazing actress and yet again perfectly underplaying something and not getting the credit for it i don't think so honey readers do better and that's one minute and we because because if we don't know that's not a bit we don't deserve to watch tv right come on come guys i knew it was kirsten dunst it was a bit she was in on like i would never disrespect the queen like that like come on come on come on she's the damn host it's gonna be produced like there have been meetings about every single thing she's gonna do on that show knows who's sitting in what seats they have the whole seating chart and the whole thing yeah yeah and then when she said to jesse i'm such a fan of your work just like she's like who are you here with and he was like my wife and and she was like you're married to

that seat filler i just thought the whole thing was great and then to go online and have people ruin it by wasting their breath with their takes about how it was disrespectful i think people have too many takes that's my note for the oscars of it all is too many takes everyone needs to just relax relax relax you know what i think it was that you know the the critical mass of like the the slap discourse had been reached yeah and i think people were looking for other things to like talk about yeah that's a good point that might have been it yeah yeah it hit the ceiling and they were like what do i do with all this energy and the answer was b what else happened reckless with it um okay so that's one to chew on for everyone at home bon yang do you have it prepared i don't think so honey um i do i do i love to hear that one of my favorite things to hear all right bow and yang this is your i don't think so

honey your time starts now i don't think so honey jared leto being still the worst co-worker in hollywood there are these stories coming out now about him on the morbius set taking 20 minutes to pee or not even 20 minutes but more than 20 minutes having to be wheeled out in a wheelchair has nothing to do with his character his character is not in a wheelchair in this movie where he's not physically you know incapable of walking himself to the restroom this is another sort of pseudo method thing that he's putting his entire set through and now there's reports of him aspiring to be a pedophile to play a pedophile and then going method with that honey that's going to go how do you think that's going to go jared leto we've got to end this 50 year old man have some respect for yourself have some respect for your co-workers you you do not stand with ayatse you do not stand with sag you do not survive

you're an anti-union man if you are literally running the clock and making people's days worse and that's one minute when i heard anne hathaway say she felt like she had never even met him until the red carpet how about that they probably weren't together for four months have you ever had a co-star that was method garcelle no not really i don't think so oh no no no no no no i had this one actor who i said i will never work with again uh-huh he was so difficult he would have the news in the middle of the night to myself and the director about how he saw the scene at one point his character had to cook my character breakfast he wanted six different knives because the knives that they brought were not good enough and i was just like just act like you're cooking breakfast yeah you're cooking for my god absurd we all had you know our own parking uh spots and he would come in with his fancy car and he'd go i'm

worried about my car here well everybody else's car is here oh that is not my own thing nobody but it shouldn't be no i but but i had to ask because you really have worked with so many and when i say of the greats that means that you know some of them are going to be increasing crazy crazy crazy um oh my god okay have you have you ever gone fully method or not fully method but just like kind of like your product what's your process it depends on if if it's a dark character or some place i have to go like really deep that's you know that i want to be safe with i will then zone out no phone stay in my trailer get in the zone whether it's music or whatever and then i'll walk out and i'll do it and i won't want to sort of break character while the director's giving notes or whether you know just so that i can stay in the zone sure i think you played you played a pretty villainous person in this in the short

film that you and lisa produced yes lalo's house yeah that was deep that was um based on a true story of these two little girls that get kidnapped and uh they wake up and they're at a convent and the convent is being run as a sex trafficking ring so i think that lead none who is in jail right now in haiti but i mean it's a global issue it's not just a haiti issue but we should right yeah wow that was that was really great to hear about that and also great to hear about the acclaim that it received yeah and the director doing so well after it that's totally that had to be very gratifying yeah to be a part it was actually but not as gratifying as completing it i don't think so honey now garcelle do you have a topic in mind i do okay in that case this is garcelle's i don't think sony her time starts now okay i don't think so honey cancel culture oh get a grip we are human we make mistakes we're

we're gonna do stupid things give us educate us don't cancel us it's stupid we're human there you go yes comedians everybody please lighten up laugh with them cheer them up cheer them on all they want to do is make you laugh stop taking everything so personally don't hit anybody don't 30 seconds i'm so sick of it the cancer culture we're allowed to make mistakes who is the police the council police it's insane i will not have it give me a time i feel like i'm running out of speed 15 15 seconds okay so stop canceling people we are all human beings you've made mistakes i've made mistakes we're still gonna continue making mistakes let's love one another let's show some grace get out of the room stop following the person you think of and that's one minute that's one minute there's this there's i mean at this point we've reached a place where like there's no nuance when anyone talks about like

you know like wrongdoing it's it's it's it's it's so it's hard and like oh my gosh especially after the oscars it's like there's no way in for anybody anymore no to even like have a shared reality or a shared like sense of like what what even happened yeah it's just i think we all need to lighten up not everything is racist not everything is um you know controversial let's just slap a little bit you know let's have some fun you know i would say recently um like when jane campion made her comment about venus and serena and the internet really went in on her that day i kind of felt like i that's and it's of always i always feel nervous saying this because i'm aware that i'm a white man and so i shouldn't speak for necessarily or like weigh in on how these black women are to feel about how that was said but to me that felt like a bad joke or an attempted humor by someone someone who wasn't

funny trying to make a joke and i was and and i think you know because the subjects of the joke were venus and serena people obviously feel very protective over them and they jump to these certain conclusions and also you know if there's a world where they're correct but also there's a world where they're not and it almost feels like in that instance right and then and then with everything that happened with will smith i keep thinking because in the days that followed the slap i kept feeling worse and worse about it and i realized the reason i kept feeling worse and worse about it was the discourse kept kind of sinking you know i know and i feel like i agree with you with jane champion first of all just think about it this woman just won a big award she got up there she's not a comedian she tried to tell a joke and she met well no i think she was just saying like we're strong we're going up against men

i go up against men all the time the girls don't go up against men as tennis players exactly they go up against my maybe in business so it's just everybody is so uptight and nitpicking at everything yeah and we and and matt and i can say because we were at the critic's choice awards where that happened all parties are all parties involved at the after party were twirling were twirling no one was bothered having a blast like we saw all parties involved truly getting their life at the netflix after party and then you go online and everyone was so upset for them and at them and it was like wait have you actually considered how this person actually feels about it or are we just assigning them a response an emotional response the nerves maybe she was nervous she just want like yeah she was human it was just it was just a bad joke yeah you know what i mean she's not a comedian that's not what she does
