00:00I just feel like I just got to eat all of my emotions.
00:03The sun comes up before I go to bed every night for two years.
00:12How are you feeling about the show coming back?
00:14I'm a little leery.
00:15Ever since everything happened with Tracy,
00:17I would have thought that maybe it would have brought everybody closer.
00:20But that's not what happened yet.
00:22You were all in the living room with the hospice doctor.
00:26The nurse?
00:26That's when I found out.
00:27At the time, you and Tracy were kind of at odds, though.
00:31There's something that I still struggle with
00:32because I don't understand why I was the last to know.
00:37As a man, I'm trying to figure things out myself.
00:40Every time Kevin Jr. is contacting a family member, it's an emergency.
00:44But we want to make it clear to him that we're here for him to lean on
00:47whenever he needs to talk to us.
00:51Are we going to hear wedding bells anytime soon?
00:54How long y'all been together?
00:55Nine.
00:56No way.
00:57It's the last week before a big premiere of Love and Laughter,
01:11and I'm excited because I'm on stage with Cedric,
01:14but my nerves have been all over the place,
01:16thinking about my health issues.
01:18If I have a heart attack, I won't survive.
01:20It's up around the corner now.
01:24I'm trying hard not to let my past health scare get into my head,
01:28and I'm so anxious because I'm not doing great.
01:30You just don't know when it's going to happen.
01:32This is my career, and it's everything I love,
01:34and I'm not ready to retire.
01:35At the end of the day, I'll stop the entire show.
01:38Once that is done, we are going to start from the top of the show.
02:04It's the day before the Love and Laughter Residency will be premiering at the Cosmopolitan
02:26in my favorite place, Las Vegas.
02:28It's a big stage show, 90 minutes long, and the show will be running for 20 weeks.
02:34Whoo, butterflies.
02:36Melissa, let me know when you're ready.
02:37Okay, folks, if everybody can be quiet on stage because we are going to run a cue.
02:47Being able to sing and dance is so physically and mentally demanding.
02:52I've just recently recovered from bronchitis, and my doctors cleared me.
02:55That's great, but I keep using my breath with the heart situation,
02:58so I keep telling myself, pace it, pace it, singing and dancing, singing and dancing.
03:02Oh, it was so wonderful to be here.
03:04Guys, love and laughter.
03:06You guys having a good time?
03:08Yeah!
03:10Me too.
03:12First of all, guys, I want to thank you for my job.
03:15I want to thank you for putting me on the stage.
03:20The real test would be if I can get through the whole show without hitting a wall.
03:23I don't know how Janet and Britney and all those have done it for years.
03:26I commend them.
03:27Wow, it's really, really tough.
03:28Here, right?
03:28So, grand piano.
03:30Make sure it's on grand.
03:30That's the very first sound.
03:32Here?
03:33It's not right.
03:35World grand three.
03:37That's not what we had yesterday.
03:38Grand right there.
03:40Grand.
03:40Look, upright, electric, cloud, boom, boom, but we're going grand.
03:45We've only had three days to practice in the space that we'll be performing.
03:49Everything else was at the rehearsal space in L.A.
03:52There's a lot of static in my ears, guys.
03:54Like a lot.
03:55It's a lot of static, Joseph.
03:57When I take the Vegas stage for the first time in 15 years,
04:00I need the world to know that Toni Braxton is back and better than ever.
04:05Okay, let's try one more time.
04:08Here we go.
04:09Hi, guys.
04:23Erin.
04:24We're doing something a little different tonight.
04:26It's Monday.
04:27And it's time for us to cook.
04:28Bye and I have been doing cooking videos on social media for about a year now.
04:35Tonight, we're going to make lobster mashed potatoes, chuck roast steak, and baby spinach.
04:42Since I made a cameo appearance on Mommy and Tamer's cooking show,
04:45I had to invite Mommy to be a guest on our show, too.
04:48You know, I'm not going to be outdone.
04:50Mom, you can start on the potatoes.
04:53Oh, okay.
04:54Let me wash my hands here.
04:55Yes, that's what we do here.
04:56But, of course, we do things just a little differently.
04:59Put some butter in there.
05:00Put the butter in.
05:01Don't be scared.
05:01Not all of it now.
05:02You're trying to give us cholesterol problems.
05:04Yeah.
05:04You already got it.
05:05Do it all.
05:06S-T-O-V.
05:09Stop!
05:10Don't be scared of the pepper.
05:11You ain't buying it.
05:12Put it in there.
05:13Look, I'm tired of you bossing me.
05:16Girl, you better take a seat.
05:18My kitchen, my way.
05:21Boom.
05:22Mmm.
05:23Mmm.
05:24Incredible.
05:26Okay, we'll end now.
05:27Good job, guys.
05:28Thanks, Miley.
05:29That was incredible.
05:31So I'm trying to see Tone Tone for her.
05:34For sure.
05:34Look at God.
05:36I'm going to surprise her.
05:36She would love that.
05:38Tamer's going to be there.
05:39Oh, really?
05:39Yes, ma'am.
05:41Tamer and I are planning to attend Tony's premiere night in Vegas.
05:44Tony's a bit nervous for the entire family to be there.
05:47So Mommy and Tawanda decided to wait for the second show.
05:50But I can't wait to see Tony Braxton on stage again.
05:52So I'm going to both.
05:54How's things going with you and your counseling?
05:58And no offense, you're drinking.
06:02Mm-hmm.
06:02And you're eating.
06:05Because you were eating and drinking.
06:06My feelings.
06:08Yes, ma'am.
06:08And that's a true thing.
06:09You know, and that bothered me, too.
06:11Ever since I've been to counseling, it's changed dramatically.
06:15I don't even cook at 2 o'clock in the morning anymore.
06:18I can sleep at night now.
06:20Oh, Trina.
06:22That's the best news I've heard, and I don't know when.
06:26Because I released myself.
06:29I was in a dark place.
06:31To get to this point, I had to realize it's okay to be in grief.
06:35It's okay to grieve.
06:36But Tracy would want me to still live my best life.
06:39I want to be around for my sons.
06:41I want to be around for my grandbabies.
06:43I want to be around for my family.
06:44I want to be around for my husband.
06:45There's so much more I want to accomplish.
06:47There's so much more I want to do.
06:48And I don't want you to lose another child.
06:51I don't want to lose another child, either.
06:54I don't want to lose anybody.
06:57You have to take care of what God has given,
06:59because you just don't know what tomorrow brings.
07:02Yes, ma'am.
07:03Yes, ma'am.
07:04Look at God.
07:05And give me my...
07:06I'm going home.
07:07Oh, I'm so proud of you.
07:10It was a...
07:11I'm going to give you this...
07:12I need my apron.
07:13I need my apron.
07:13Sting in the apron.
07:14It's not stinking.
07:15I just washed it.
07:16Oh.
07:19With their hairstyle.
07:21I have hair.
07:24Trina says Tracy and her were at fault with each other
07:27before Tracy passed away.
07:29I want to actually go into that energy
07:31and hear from her sister.
07:35What's up, motherfuckers?
07:37My adrenaline is pumping.
07:39It's a lot to be on stage for 90 minutes.
07:42Once you lose a sibling,
07:44the worst thought in the world is losing another one.
07:59Hey, y'all.
08:06I'm here.
08:07Hey, Sam O'Lan.
08:09Hey.
08:10Hey, Ry.
08:12I'm appearing on my friend Ryan's radio show
08:14to promote me and Trina's upcoming beauty line
08:17and me and Sean's podcast called King Ladybug
08:20and all of the amazing things that I'm doing.
08:22So how have things been?
08:24Amazing, interesting.
08:25You know, we've been doing the Braxton's
08:27is what it's called now.
08:29We did this for Tracy.
08:32Right.
08:32Because she wanted us to tell her story.
08:34So, you know, that's what we did.
08:36So, you know, with their hairstyle.
08:39I have hair.
08:40Well, when you decided to do this,
08:43like, was it easy?
08:44Was it a no-brainer?
08:44It was a no-brainer.
08:46But what everybody doesn't know is it was two-sided.
08:49Okay.
08:50I did it in solidarity for Tracy.
08:52But the other part of it is
08:54I didn't want everybody to know that I had alopecia.
08:58Okay.
09:00Alopecia.
09:01Yes.
09:02I decided to finally share my alopecia diagnosis
09:04with the world,
09:05and I just think that by me speaking up
09:08and letting everybody know that I'm not ashamed of it,
09:11it'll help other people
09:12because there's nothing to be ashamed or afraid of.
09:15What was it that made you say,
09:16I'm going to tell people?
09:17Because nobody would have known.
09:18Hell no.
09:20You could have just kept it.
09:21So I was going to start my skincare line.
09:24Okay.
09:24And the lady who I was doing it with,
09:26she said,
09:27you know what, sis?
09:28I think you should tell everybody.
09:30I didn't want to proceed with that
09:32without Sean knowing.
09:37So I immediately went downstairs,
09:39and I said,
09:40yeah, so, honey,
09:42so I got off the phone,
09:43and, you know,
09:43I have alopecia, right?
09:44So, um, so, yeah,
09:45so what she want to do...
09:46It's like very matter-of-fact.
09:48Right.
09:48You want some stay-tooth, no?
09:49I did it just like that.
09:51And then you know how he is.
09:52He was like,
09:53hold up, wait.
09:54We are not going to skip over that.
09:56We're going to talk about that.
09:57Like, what?
09:59Okay.
10:00How long have me and Sean been knowing each other?
10:02It's been over 30 years.
10:04And I hid all of this from him.
10:08Knowing that I have his support and his love,
10:11I can conquer the world
10:12by letting everybody else know
10:14that it's okay to come out
10:15to see if you got alopecia.
10:16It's all right.
10:17So with a skincare line...
10:19Yes.
10:19What all is it?
10:20And it's called alope.
10:21It stands for alopecia.
10:23It's shampoo, it's conditioner,
10:25and it's an exfoliant,
10:27and then it's a mask
10:28that you put on your head at night.
10:29What is this going to do
10:30for awareness for people?
10:31You can walk long and strong
10:33and walk in your greatness
10:34not having hair,
10:36and that's okay.
10:36And if you want hair,
10:37you can buy hair.
10:38You don't have to walk in shame.
10:41Proud of you.
10:42Thanks, Rod.
10:43Do you have any more questions?
10:45We're good.
10:45You covered it all.
10:53Come on in.
10:54Tamar and James.
10:57Hey, Taz.
10:59Hey.
10:59Welcome.
11:01How about two friends of mine here?
11:03How are you?
11:03Always wonderful to see you.
11:05Hi.
11:05Hi.
11:07Okay, so here is the thing.
11:08We black people.
11:09We don't talk dead people.
11:10Welcome.
11:14Thank you, sweetie.
11:15Please come have a seat.
11:17Taz, she's more than a medium, child.
11:20She's a spiritual advisor
11:21in a Jesus kind of way.
11:23I'm Taz.
11:24I'm a healer.
11:24I do crossing over
11:25where you get to connect
11:26with people that have passed on
11:28so that we can bring closure
11:29and healing.
11:31We were celebrating
11:32Tracy's birthday.
11:34Trina said something.
11:36She said that
11:37Tracy and her
11:39were at
11:40faults with each other
11:41before Tracy passed away.
11:43And it kind of upset Tamar.
11:45He said that she had
11:46about two weeks.
11:47Do y'all remember that?
11:48No one would tell me.
11:50I don't understand
11:50why I was the last to know.
11:52Yeah, but at that time
11:53you and Tracy were
11:54kind of at odds, though.
11:55It wasn't...
11:55No, we wasn't at odds.
11:57Oh.
11:58Your timeline is different
11:59to what were you saying?
12:00On one hand, she's right.
12:02Tracy and I did
12:04have a lot of disagreements
12:05if I'm honest about it.
12:06Why do you feel like
12:07Tracy didn't tell you?
12:08I don't know why
12:08she didn't tell me.
12:09I don't have that answer.
12:12I want to actually
12:13go into that energy
12:14and hear from her sister.
12:16Please.
12:17You know, what she has to say.
12:18Tracy does come through,
12:28but she is so emotional.
12:30I'm feeling emotional now
12:31because she's connecting
12:32very strongly with you.
12:35Her first word to you is...
12:40I am sorry.
12:44She says,
12:45before I passed,
12:45I did a lot of things
12:46that I wish I could do
12:47differently.
12:49She says,
12:49I love each and every one of you.
12:51Just remember,
12:52you are my baby.
12:55And she says,
12:56what do we do
12:56when we have a baby?
12:58We protect you.
12:59And that's what I did with you.
13:02If I hurt you
13:03or if I disappointed you
13:05in any way,
13:05I am sorry.
13:09All I want is for you
13:11to know that you are loved
13:12and that you are protected.
13:16If there's anything
13:17you'd like to say,
13:17to her.
13:18Yeah,
13:18I have a lot of regret.
13:32It's been a beautiful ride.
13:35Yes, honey.
13:36I just have one question for you.
13:41She says,
13:41I am apologizing to you today.
13:43No,
13:44she shouldn't apologize.
13:45It's my apology.
13:50In less than an hour,
13:52I'll be hitting the stage
13:53for the first time
13:54for Love and Laughter show.
13:56Since my recent health scare,
13:57when they had to put
13:58the stent in my heart,
13:59my body is much more vulnerable.
14:02But I can't risk having
14:03my biggest residence
14:04to be shut down.
14:04if there's anything
14:17you'd like to say to her.
14:20I have a lot of regret
14:21because, you know,
14:23I didn't really get a chance.
14:24I didn't really get a chance
14:28to, um,
14:30I didn't get a chance
14:34to be the sister
14:35I wanted to be to.
14:36She says,
14:43like any normal family,
14:45we had our differences.
14:47Yeah, we did.
14:48But not so big.
14:49But I love my sister.
14:51She says,
14:51I know that.
14:52She says,
14:53I am apologizing to you today.
14:55No, she shouldn't apologize.
14:56I just feel like
14:57it's my apology.
15:02I knew that we didn't have
15:03the best relationship
15:04all the time.
15:06But at the end,
15:07I really did try
15:08to be there for her
15:09and be a good sister.
15:10And I just don't think
15:10that I didn't have time
15:12to make it right.
15:18She's got her arms around you
15:20and she says,
15:20what are you talking about?
15:22I know the love
15:23you have for me.
15:25Moments that we shared
15:26before my passing
15:27was special.
15:28It meant a lot to me.
15:30She says,
15:30it's not about time.
15:32You showed me
15:33your love
15:34and your support.
15:35She says,
15:36that's what matters,
15:37not the time.
15:40I knew that
15:41the times
15:41that Tracy and I
15:43connected
15:43before she passed
15:44meant a lot to her
15:45because it meant
15:45even more for me.
15:48We had some really serious,
15:57hard, but amazing
15:59conversations.
16:00We both profusely
16:02apologized for,
16:03you know,
16:04just misunderstanding
16:05as sisters
16:06and things.
16:08It was beautiful
16:09because I really
16:10got to know my sister
16:11and what I always
16:12want to do
16:13is honor her,
16:14honor how amazing
16:15of a human
16:16she was
16:17while she was here
16:18and also
16:19she's even
16:20more amazing now.
16:22She says,
16:22my only wish today
16:24is to see
16:25my sisters
16:25and to see
16:26my family united.
16:32Because her death
16:33instead of bringing
16:34all of you together
16:35to grieve
16:36as a family
16:36has created
16:38a bit of division
16:39and separation.
16:42I've been through
16:43hell and that
16:45a couple times
16:46and I still have
16:48a lot of work to do.
16:49I'm not perfect,
16:50but my commitment
16:52to myself
16:52is to always show up
16:54as my best self
16:54and to show up
16:56for my mother
16:57and to show up
16:59for my sisters
16:59when they need me
17:00to be.
17:01You're already okay.
17:03You're already okay.
17:04I haven't always been
17:05the best sister
17:06and I haven't always
17:07been the best
17:08support system
17:09but I've grown a lot
17:12and for me to show up
17:14for them now
17:14is what I really
17:15truly want to do.
17:18She smiles.
17:19She says,
17:19I remember us
17:20as the young girls
17:21playful,
17:22picking on one another.
17:23Oh, yeah.
17:25Tamar, you're right.
17:26I'll say it with you.
17:28Tamar,
17:29you might be right.
17:30There, how about that?
17:31Boom.
17:32We should look
17:33to each other
17:33and go to each other
17:35for whatever issues
17:37that we have.
17:38You know what I mean?
17:38It's so much fun
17:39hanging out with Tamar
17:40when it's just two of us
17:41and it is great
17:43to have my baby sister back.
17:47Tracy says to you,
17:48all I want today
17:50is for you to remember
17:51that you are strong,
17:53you are going to heal,
17:55and I'm walking
17:56this journey with you.
17:57Thank you so much.
18:02Thank you to you.
18:02I appreciate it, Maya.
18:03I'm going to be lost.
18:33Tonight is the big night, and my adrenaline is pumping,
18:37because in less than an hour, I'll be hitting the stage
18:40for the first time for Love and Laughter Show.
18:42Not yet, not yet.
18:43I've been performing, you know, for decades.
18:46But since my recent health scare,
18:48when they had to put the stent in my heart,
18:50my body is much more vulnerable than it ever was.
18:54So, of course, it makes me a little more nervous.
18:56I'm gonna go to the stage for you.
18:58See y'all out there.
19:03I'm excited about Toni's show.
19:09It's been a while seeing her perform,
19:12and I'm also excited that she feels well enough to do this.
19:17I'm healthy, and I'm in good shape.
19:20And it's a lot to be on stage for 90 minutes for me, you know?
19:24And for Toni to have these health challenges,
19:27you know, it's scary.
19:29Once you lose a sibling,
19:30it's the worst thought in the world is losing another one.
19:34Places, please. Places for top of show.
19:38Honestly, my nerves have been all over the place.
19:41I can't risk having my Vegas residency be shut down the second time
19:45because of health issues.
19:47This was Cedric's idea to do a comedy sketch with my sisters.
19:53Okay.
19:54Nobody told us what the skin is.
19:56We're not gonna wear.
19:57Gonna need to wear panties.
19:58Remember what happened when you were in seventh grade?
20:01Tawana, you tell that story, Tawana.
20:03I'm not your friend anymore.
20:04Did she tell?
20:06I can do a joke right now.
20:07Oh, my God.
20:08Like right now?
20:09You gonna do it?
20:10Somebody said no.
20:11Nobody came to see Toni Braxton Craig jokes.
20:13Mm-mm.
20:14Mm-mm.
20:15I've been able to push through the last few months of rehearsal,
20:29and tonight, I'm determined to give a flawless performance.
20:38What's up, Ross Vegas?
20:40We about to do this.
20:42I got the legend Toni with me.
20:44Toni, you ready to do this?
20:46Toni has been the sibling pillar of strength for all of us.
20:51But when she recently had a stint put in her heart,
20:53she really thought that that was a turning point for her,
20:57and not for the better.
21:01But Toni is a fighter.
21:05She is iconic Toni Michelle Braxton.
21:08I'm Toni Braxton.
21:09I'm Toni Braxton.
21:10I'm Toni Braxton.
21:11I'm Toni Braxton.
21:16I'm Toni Braxton.
21:17I love performing so much, it's like my adrenaline.
21:21And to never be able to perform again.
21:22I tried to take that when the doctors told me, but I couldn't take it.
21:23I couldn't believe it.
21:24You know, I have that stupid lupus, and you know, the doctor said I would never be able to perform again.
21:29But you know, the man upstairs had a whole nother plan.
21:30I'm Toni Braxton.
21:31I'm Toni Braxton.
21:32I'm Toni Braxton.
21:33I love performing so much, it's like my adrenaline.
21:34And to never be able to perform again, I tried to take that when the doctors told me, but I couldn't take it.
21:36I couldn't believe it.
21:37You know, I have that stupid lupus, and you know, the doctor said I would never be able to perform again, but you know, the man upstairs had a whole nother plan.
21:54And being there with Cedric, I will always love him and thank him for his contribution in helping me always.
22:04He's my hero.
22:05We'll switch.
22:06You're gonna do a little joke, and I'll do a little love later on.
22:09Okay.
22:10Toni's a performer.
22:11She's a star.
22:12We all knew she was always gonna inevitably take the stage again.
22:16But I am absolutely concerned about Toni trying to do comedy.
22:22All right, so you're just gonna do the laughter right now?
22:24I can do a joke right now?
22:25Oh, my God.
22:26Like, right now?
22:27You gonna do it?
22:28Can I?
22:29They said no.
22:30Somebody said no.
22:31Let me tell you something.
22:33Nobody came to that show to see Toni Braxton crack jokes.
22:37You know what?
22:38Let's give it a shot, ladies and gentlemen.
22:40The comedy stylists of Toni Braxton.
22:43Let's go, Toni.
22:44So I have a joke.
22:45Okay.
22:46It's a joke joke.
22:47What do you call a bear?
22:49Mmm.
22:50A bear who has no teeth.
22:52Mmm-mmm.
22:53It's too easy.
22:54It's too easy.
22:55I can see it coming.
22:59You gotta finish.
23:00You gotta hit it.
23:01Drop it on him.
23:02A gummy bear.
23:03A gummy bear.
23:06Babe, it's corny joke time.
23:07Feature Toni Braxton.
23:10I should've told the pizza joke probably.
23:11Why the pizza joke?
23:12I mean, I was sorry to tell the pizza joke, but I thought it might be too cheesy for you.
23:18Okay.
23:19So you gotta get on your own on that one.
23:21I wasn't even ready.
23:23I need to think corny is in style.
23:25Corny is cool.
23:27Give it up for the sultry comedy stylists of Toni Braxton.
23:31Sultry comedy.
23:34This venue is packed with people who are all here for the same reason.
23:37To celebrate Toni Braxton's big comeback and to hear Cedric the Entertainer tell jokes.
23:43I mean, go on Toni.
23:45Show the world you are still one of the world's most powerful voices of a generation
23:50and can bring this house all the way down to the ground.
23:54Come on, break my heart.
23:59Say you love me again.
24:03I'll do this.
24:06Let you come.
24:07You walk out the door and I love my life.
24:12Uncry this key.
24:17Cry so many, many nights.
24:20Unbreak my heart.
24:22Unbreak my heart.
24:24But without you, I just can't go.
24:29Oh, I can't go.
24:31Oh, I can't go.
24:33Oh, I can't go.
24:39Oh, I can't go.
24:42Oh, I can't go.
24:43Oh, I can't go.
24:44Say you love me again.
24:45Tell me now.
24:46Tell me now.
24:47Unbreak my heart.
24:48Unbreak my heart.
25:01Would my life ever be like it was?
25:02No.
25:03It never will be that way again.
25:05But it doesn't mean I'm dead.
25:07I'm still here.
25:08And I'm beyond grateful.
25:10It means the world to me that Tamar and Trina showed up to cheer me on and I could share this milestone memory with them.
25:24Woo!
25:25Looking amazing.
25:26It was delicious.
25:27I was out of breath a little bit.
25:28You look amazing.
25:29What you doing?
25:30I wasn't that nice with her.
25:31Who?
25:32A little tired.
25:33How you break?
25:34She be your mother's dad.
25:35I can feel that you break.
25:36See, let me tell you why you're here.
25:37That's okay.
25:38I was a little anxiety.
25:40Tony.
25:41What's your reaction?
25:43We have not missed a beat.
25:45Welcome back.
25:47Mom, you know what they say.
25:52What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
25:55Yay!
26:04This was Cedric's idea to do a comedy sketch with my sisters.
26:08Nobody told us what this kid is.
26:10It's been a beautiful ride.
26:12Yes, honey.
26:13I just have one question for you.
26:17We have Trina and Swanda on the way, and then Miss E, she's ready.
26:38Hey!
26:39Hey, hey.
26:40Hey, ladybug.
26:41Hey.
26:42I'm gonna kiss you from this side.
26:43Hey, you.
26:44I'm gonna sit right here.
26:45Oh, you're gonna sit there?
26:46Okay, well, I'll squeeze by you then.
26:47Yes.
26:48Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.
26:49Oh, you guys look beautiful.
26:53I have on a dress that she has.
26:54The same exact one.
26:55I have a black one just like this, and I have a white one like that.
26:59Hello.
27:00Hi, lady.
27:01Hi.
27:02How are you?
27:03How are you?
27:04Good.
27:05Are these your famous verbenas?
27:06They are.
27:07Here's yours.
27:09Well, guess what I have.
27:10Thank you so much.
27:11A diet Coke.
27:12This is mine.
27:13You got a fat Coke?
27:14You got a regular Coke?
27:15You got a regular Coke?
27:17Oh!
27:18Well, Mom, you know what they say.
27:20What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
27:22Stay in Vegas.
27:23We're not gonna tell anybody you had a full Coke.
27:25Oh, you're so good to me.
27:26I am so excited to see Toni walk out on the stage and perform.
27:33She's just phenomenal.
27:36Unfortunately, Tamar couldn't stay because she had to go back to Atlanta to be with her son.
27:43That's who my girls are.
27:45Their kids come first.
27:47Me and Trina got a call to say that we're gonna be a part of the show tonight.
27:51We don't know what we're doing.
27:53We don't know how we're doing it.
27:54You guys don't know what you're doing?
27:56I don't know that yet.
27:58Well, you know, you usually know everything.
28:00I'm telling you.
28:01I'm gonna find out, though.
28:02But anyway, guys, I gotta go.
28:04Okay.
28:05I gotta figure out what I'm wearing.
28:06Are you getting on stage, too?
28:07No.
28:08Ugh.
28:09I wanna look good.
28:10I'm going.
28:11See you, Mother, dear.
28:12I'll see you guys.
28:13Okay, go ahead.
28:14Bye.
28:15Bye.
28:16Toni asked Trina and I to do a short bit on stage with Cedric tonight.
28:20He usually interviews people in the middle of the show anyway.
28:23So Toni said, well, why not let Twanda and Trina do it?
28:26It doesn't worry me at all that she sprang this on us at the last minute
28:30because I'm a trained actress.
28:33What am I gonna wear?
28:34Something sparkly, I'm sure.
28:36I have to go through my suitcase and get myself together.
28:38Cause I have to have my right jewelry.
28:40Cause what is she gonna have us do?
28:41Are we gonna stand there?
28:42Trina, I don't know.
28:43Are our legs gonna be crossed?
28:46Gonna need to wear panties.
28:48You don't wear panties with dresses?
28:51I mean, depends on what the situation is after.
28:53Hold on.
28:54You don't wear a phone with a dress?
28:57Remember what happened when you were in seventh grade?
29:00Twanda, if you tell that story, Twanda, I will...
29:02In junior high school.
29:03Twanda, if you tell that story, I'm not your friend anymore.
29:06Trina.
29:07We're not friends.
29:08I didn't say it.
29:10All I'm saying is you never know.
29:12If you say it in the interview, we're not friends.
29:13I'm not gonna say it in the interview.
29:14You never know.
29:15In seventh grade, there was a situation that happened.
29:24Did she tell?
29:26I'm not gonna tell y'all this story because I promised that I wasn't gonna tell y'all.
29:30Who did she tell?
29:31Ooh, she told somebody.
29:33Just know she needs to wear some drawers.
29:36I can't believe you brought that up.
29:39We're a thong!
