00:00Hey, Essence family.
00:04Look, we're live in LA at The Real.
00:06Thank you for letting us come by.
00:08So they kicked off season four.
00:09It's already off to an incredible start.
00:11You just gave away a car.
00:12Yes, I can't believe it.
00:13A Ford Escape, like, major.
00:15You're going live, so you're getting up earlier.
00:17Thank you for those of us who watch in our office.
00:19We watch you every day in the Essence office.
00:21Thank you, Essence.
00:22This big season, season four, you're Emmy nominated,
00:26NAACP, Image Award nominated.
00:27What else are you bringing for this season?
00:29I think, obviously, the biggest difference is us being live.
00:32Live.
00:33That makes it that much more realer.
00:36Like, yeah, is realer a word?
00:37More realer?
00:38It's moments like that that will happen on the show, but
00:40I feel like so many more women are gonna be able to relate to the fact that we're not perfect.
00:44Yes. I love it.
00:45And you're gonna be able to see that.
00:46Well, y'all, you definitely keep it real with us.
00:48I mean, thanks to Tamara, we now know what your areolas look like.
00:51Amazing.
00:52So is there anything too real for the real?
00:56Is there anything like, you know what, ladies, we're not gonna touch this?
00:59Honestly, I think we're kind of all okay with being an open book.
01:03Yeah.
01:04Probably the only thing we won't talk about is if it's something like in our family,
01:06like somebody else's business that we should be talking about.
01:09It's the same way you and your girlfriends are together.
01:12You know you can go in on each other, cuz you know you got each other's back.
01:15Yeah.
01:15That means you're gonna go in hard too, Lonnie.
01:17So we gotta ask, we're at the real.
01:22So we wanna know a little bit more about you all, who's the realest?
01:24So my first question, who is the realest penny pincher?
01:27Who's been here like, you know what, they always got a deal.
01:30Jeanie Mai.
01:30Jeanie.
01:31Yes.
01:31She has a deal for everything.
01:32You don't know where this money's gonna go.
01:34You gotta hold on to it.
01:35I love it, I love it.
01:37So who is the realest, I think I know the answer, but
01:39who's the realest flirt at this table?
01:40Ooh, Lonnie gets all the kisses, all the attention.
01:45We can have somebody at this table yesterday.
01:47Yeah, I know.
01:48You had a cute in the audience who was trying to holler,
01:50just so you know when I was sitting in the crowd.
01:52He was cute.
01:53Always here.
01:53All right, so who is the realest romantic?
01:56Who's got bae backstage?
01:57Who's like dipping off, sending tag?
01:59Adrienne.
02:00Adrienne.
02:01Adrienne.
02:01Yeah.
02:02And overall, who would you ladies say is just the realest?
02:05Like you don't wanna hear the truth, but she's always serving it up to you.
02:08All of us.
02:09All of us, yeah.
02:09It's really all of us.
02:10It just depends on what it is.
02:12Tam is gonna tell you definitely how it is, how she feels about something.
02:16And I love that.
02:16I will tell the real about pregnancy, about marriage.
02:20I don't super quote anything.
02:21You didn't, you told your man in front of everybody.
02:23If you cheat, it's done, where there's no reconciliation.
02:26And he would say the same thing.
02:27I love it, I love it.
02:28Same.
02:28I love it, so you let us into your studio.
02:30Thank you for staying a little later.
02:31Last question, what has been your craziest moment, four seasons of The Real,
02:35for each of you, what has been that moment of like, this is why I said yes?
02:38Yo, J.Lo came and did a whole show with us, like the J.Lo takeover was nuts.
02:43Would you say the fact that we got to go to the White House?
02:45Yes.
02:46Hands down.
02:47Meeting Michelle Obama.
02:49Listening to her tell us that she watches our show every day as she's getting her hair done.
02:53Yeah.
02:54That's everything.
02:55I know, did you tell her, I said hey, did you tell us that?
02:56I'll let you do it again.
