Speaker 1:He's like I'm telling you to a duel, right? Okay, so that happens. Chris Rock makes the special Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, boom, 2023. A. Couple of weeks ago been circulating past two or three weeks. Jada Pickett Smith says she did not know why Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. She thought it was a skit, she thought it was playing, until when he came back she was like, oh wait, he's serious. Well, wait a minute. Why is he acting like this? Because we've been separated for seven years. So she's dropping beautiful jewels about their relationship, about her love for Tupac Tupac ellipse now and that he was his soul, he was her soul partner, soul mate, and how she has always loved Tupac. And their relationship has really struggled. I know you like to watch HGTV and all that stuff. Have you heard anything about their relationship? Have you been keeping up with it? Say it.
Speaker 2:Well, I was on YouTube when I heard the news that they weren't together since 2016. You are on YouTube, man, you know. My first thing is you know I'm like come on now, right, why didn't you say that in the beginning with you know? Oh, when he slapped an old by the way, that ain't my man, we ain't been together for a long time she said no, she just sat there like looking like if she on poetic justice, you know how she looked like. It's like come on, like come on, come on now. She said I was so embarrassed by Will and his action that man went up there because of you and then now you got a whole book out Because of Wait a minute.
Speaker 2:And then y'all said like Wait a minute.
Speaker 1:She may do that. Hold up, wait a minute now, she made him do that.
Speaker 2:You know what? What did he say Don't talk about my wife like that. So he got up there and made a fool out of himself, I don't know what. Still to this day it's like why did you do that? And especially if she's saying we ain't been together since 2016,. I'm confused by that whole situation, confuses the crap out of me. All I'm thinking is is this a big show? Is this like one big reality show that we're being sucked into, or are they serious? It's crazy.
Speaker 1:It doesn't make any sense to me. But you know what, but you know what Jada is. The way she's talking about the relationship is that it has its ups and downs. I've talked about peaks and valleys and stuff, but I feel like Jada is showing the true essence of what a relationship is Like you haven't separated from your partner and you know what I'm saying Like still kind of dating them, but she was out there trying to find yourself at the same time still with your partner.
Speaker 2:But you know how many Hollywood couples have divorce Wait a minute Answer the question.
Speaker 2:What question? I'm just confused by the whole, like this whole conversation about this with her. Oh, she's out there trying to find herself, and you know what? There's tons of Hollywood couples that say you know what, we're not getting along. I'm not really liking you like that. So, deuce is, see you later. Or we spent time together, we took some pictures, we went to a couple of events, we were married for a couple of guys, kids. Yeah, I ain't like any feeling you like that anymore. Goodbye, see you later. Why isn't this the same?
Speaker 1:situation.
Speaker 2:It's like you're coming in, you're talking about this entanglement stuff to begin to start this mess off. We're getting up slapping folks and now you're talking about you haven't been together since 2016. I'm confused. They need to stay one way or either get a divorce or stay together and quit foolishness. I'm confused, I'm just confused.
Speaker 1:Well, wait a minute, wait a minute. But why isn't there room for flexibility, like, why does it have to be either we're together or we're not? One thing that Jada said is that I call her friendship.
Speaker 1:Wait a minute. She said I never got the relationship I wanted and this is from NPR, so y'all can look this story up. I never got the relationship I wanted. And it's funny about Will and I even if the marriage wasn't working, there still this level of friendship and deep connection between us and I didn't want to make a bloodbath, no matter what, will and I are always family and we're not. That's not going to change. I love him, he loves me. We just got to figure it out and we're in the process of doing that. Like, why does it have to be this definite? We're either together or not. You've heard of couples who are married and sleep in separate bedrooms.
Speaker 2:No, in the 1950s.
Speaker 1:Yes, you have.
Speaker 2:And not in this generation. You don't. People get busy and move on. Or they say, hey, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Let's do this. This is what our relationship is about. Think about who is that Earth. I want to say it was an old school couple. I wish I could figure their name, but they're old black actors. But they had an open relationship.
Speaker 2:She did her thing, he did her thing, they were together, they loved each other. Boom, clear cut, clear deal. But this whole thing about the comp and we don't know the ends, let me just confess I don't know all the ins and outs of the relationship, but to say hey, I love you, and then air our business out in the public eye, then how does that work? I'm just confused. It's like this whole entanglement thing came from her, it ain't come from him.
Speaker 1:He ain't up there telling over her Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know what? Wait a minute. You know, real Smith dropped a book before her.
Speaker 2:Well, did he talk about her in the book? I mean, did he put her on blast? I didn't see anything on that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he talked about infidelity.
Speaker 2:Yes, so they're getting at each other you more up to date on their stuff. I have real stuff to do, like real comp I want real stuff.
Speaker 1:Well, wait a minute.
Speaker 2:This is some Hollywood stories? No, this isn't. Oh, come on, how many books did they sell? Wait a minute. Come on now. Oh you know we all sold millions. Let's look at the truth.
Speaker 1:And I'm sure Jay does about to sell millions too. Is millions of people that are curious about this drama. It's like Well, wait a minute. How long have you been doing therapy? For a while now, right, yep? So there are couples that come in. You mean to tell me, I mean, what are some of the issues that your couples face, don't they face? We're not together, but we're acting like we're a family. We're married but we've been separated. We're trying to figure out. I mean, come on now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I mean I think the normal, like normal, everyday folks, people who just live a normal life, you know the complexities of the relationship is pretty different. You know nobody's on camera, nobody's getting exposed, you know their business is kind of happening in the background. So the story is not the same. People who are high profile, their whole relationship dynamics is just totally different. You know, people have to learn how to manage their high profile relationships. In my opinion this is just my opinion they're not managing this relationship right. It's in the public eye, it's in a book, it's just so much stuff going on and it's like you know, it's just so much stuff going on, you know, is it? Are y'all really trying to do something or are you trying to just? What are you doing? At the I was, I ain't gonna even speculate what you're trying to do. I'm just curious of what are y'all doing. It's like if you're gonna work on a relationship.
Speaker 2:Work on your relationship. It doesn't have to be this big-ass production. Come on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but how does anybody ever know what other people go through like? I can appreciate both of their stories because in relationship, we only have an idea of a relationship based off of who we see and Our ideal about relationships. Right, because you, your parents, were married, you saw how your dad acted, how your mom acted, right? You're married, you've been in relationships before, so how does anybody understand how to be in relationship unless there's somebody modeling? So Jada's story is a way for us to get a glimpse. Like yo, you've got these two a-listers of actors and actress and they are struggling in their relationship. Because when you think of will and Jada before all this mess, you saw the epitome of Perfection will is a beautiful man, jada's a beautiful woman, right?
Speaker 2:Will is a beautiful man. I won't say that will is a fine, ass man fine. He's fine tall chocolate, smart honey.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right, we're boosting them up, but they are a beautiful couple. They made two beautiful kids. He had a son before Jada. They mended the relationships between the bent blended families like Looking on the outside it looks great, but now All this stuff is coming out. So I I think you know people need to hear that even a-listers, even a-listers struggle. Even people who have money struggles. So it doesn't matter money, it doesn't matter religion, it doesn't matter income or where you live in a world. Relationships are hard. So I can appreciate Jada's book. I haven't read it yet, but I think I will.
Speaker 2:I Just listen to the audio book. I ain't spending my money on that. I have audible. Then this is not a plug for audible, but I do have audible. I'm gonna find us on the audible, okay, I'll. I maybe listen to 10 minutes of it. If it's start off in the wrong direction, I'm shutting her down. It's a first verse she come out of, but I love. I'm okay this time to stop it stop.
Speaker 1:We want. Oh, I'm just.
Speaker 2:I'm curious just like okay, how much can I listen to? I mean it's? I don't like to be played. That's the number. One is like if you're doing things to sell books, it just just kind of hint around to it, then I can, I can go with that, but I don't like to be played all of a sudden like boom, here we go, look at this. Now Is this crazy enough for you? No, I think you trying to sell some books, man, it got everybody on board with it's brilliant.
Speaker 1:It's brilliant. We've been wanting to know like what did Jada think after we'll slap the Chris, like we've been wanting to know.
Speaker 2:What she gonna say. I won't put it all in my book with y'all.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she's working on this. For a while she had to wait. She didn't even know that was gonna come up. She was like hold up, don't put the book out. Yet we got to put the slap in, right. But I mean, I think we need to know because I mean you don't have to listen. But I think it's good for couples to understand and anybody that's in relationship to know, like what's traditional? Have we moved away from quote-unquote traditional relationships?
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, I think so, unless you're a church going folk.
Speaker 1:What you think church folks got Okay okay, like my mom you say we you know what. You know what that's gonna be. Next episode we getting on the church neppus.
Speaker 2:Next episode boom, asia gonna be doing that episode by herself because Cedric is not going to get. He said the church ain't Everything to everybody, but it's something to somebody, and who am I to speak on that? I'm not gonna speak on that.
Speaker 1:We. I guess we could be honest about the church, all right. Nevertheless, here we are in us in 2023, moving into 2024. Isn't realistic to expect? Quote-unquote. Traditional relationships, partners together, we get married, we stay married, we move on and we die till death. Do us part?
Speaker 2:But you know what? I want to go back to what you said in our previous episode of when we were in colors of relationships, because you know we're gonna play that audio, we're gonna play your little bite. When you, when you talked about, like Jada's role in In wheels in that whole slapping incident incident, she was looking like I think that that's a real tell, tell of. I'm just confused again. I'm confused like okay, what is your role in that she doesn't control? Will I know what you're gonna say?
Speaker 1:So don't say it right, he gets to make his choice.
Speaker 2:You know it's like okay, well, sit down, sit, put your hands. She ain't even you know how they said peace, be still. You know you put your hand on somebody lap and it's like okay, I know what you trying to do.
Speaker 1:I.
Speaker 2:Gentle hand. You know, Don't get crazy, sit your butt down but that's the thing.
Speaker 1:She didn't know he was getting up.
Speaker 2:The screaming didn't was not a cue that he was finna, get ready to get up and get on one. Oh yeah, I forgot, he screamed keep your, keep my wife, if I was Chris rock if I was Chris rock, I was like, first of all, that ain't your wife, y'all no.
Speaker 1:I bet he did Chris rock. No well, actually. Well, you know what actually. She came, she gave a little snippet of the book on how Chris rock called her and and asked her out because he had heard that she was separated or divorced from Will. And she told him no, that was a rumor. And then Chris rock later on said that was a lie. He never asked her out. So I don't know.
Speaker 2:See, that's, that's right. See, that's the whole thing. That's why I'm confused. What are we doing here? It's like I'm tired. It's kind of like watching when, once you see the Osborn a couple times, it's like back in the day that show the Osborn. You're like, oh yeah, this is crazy. Then after a while it's like, okay, y'all are really pushing the envelope. What are you doing? Oh, we've been trying to get ratings up. What are we doing?
Speaker 1:Well, you talk about Ozzy Osborn.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the Osborn, it was a good show, but I never Okay.
Speaker 1:You over, but no, this is. I mean, this is just like with anybody Kim Kardashian, with Kanye West, will and Jada like that was some true love.
Speaker 2:I don't know what I was hurt when they broke up.
Speaker 1:See, you play too much. You, you know what see. See, and this is what we are talking about, ladies, isn't it? We trying to share the issue with man, and he's up here just goofing around because, at the end of the day, jada and will's relationship is Non-traditional and maybe this might be the, the formula for, or the real, the reality of relationships. Like you could have a life partner. She considers will her life partner. Like we may not be together at that capacity, but he's always gonna be my family.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's a friendship.
Speaker 1:No, it's not. You can still be with somebody and not with them. That's a situation ship.
Speaker 2:I know, but she's making up words. Is she going to make up words in a book? Then we can integrate it into our practice, like entanglement.
Speaker 1:What word does she make up? Entanglement.
Speaker 2:How was entanglement?
Speaker 1:It's like yarn, yarn, it's like yarn. You know it can be unknotted, but it's so knotted up that everything is together, and so you just kind of get it. It gets complicated. You know what?
Speaker 2:it should have been. She should just sit it down. It's okay, go make a movie. How about that? All of this stuff is gonna go make a movie. Then get us all excited about Jada's back in the building.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, here we go Make a movie Shut up and just make movies. That's what I hear.
Speaker 2:She's a good actor. Come on, make some movies, get it like do want to do fences, then you can really air it out.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, what you say. You want her to do a movie about a man that is emotionally present yeah.
Speaker 2:Then she can get it out. Then she say you know what? Give her my whole experience with Will and stuff like that. I've learned how to take on this role and be passionate about it. That's why I won this Oscar that Will can't be at because they banned him from being at the Oscar shows, but shout out to him because I wouldn't be able to put this type of energy in Yay, put out the book. Let's get the book now. Let's get the book rolling out. I want to read that.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:What is?
Speaker 1:this. So wait a minute, ladies. If you want to reach out to Cedric, his email is Don't email me because I won't respond. Email him. What he said was shut up Jada, Go make you some movies. We just want to see you act. Get in the kitchen and cook us some meals and stop. She is acting now.
Speaker 2:I just wanted to stop acting a fool.
Speaker 1:They need to quit.
Speaker 2:Stop acting a fool. Yeah, both of them. I'm not going to discriminate. All of them need to sit down somewhere. Go lay down. I'm tired of seeing the production. We don't have to do that. Y'all are a star-studded family. Y'all got some talent to people in your family. Yeah, I want to hear your story. It's good, it's passionate, but get it together. I don't want to know all of your details of what you got going on. I just want to hear your let's have a story of victory. We overcame some challenging stuff. It's about the narrative. What narrative are you selling? They sell the narratives of chaos and like. It's like. I don't want to buy that. I want to hear a story of resiliency and overcoming these challenges that you have and you together Be on old, pre-holding hands and be doing that. Bring your family out.
Speaker 1:We can all cheer you on. Go, go go. What you say you want them to get on the couch and jump up and down like a Look at our family.
Speaker 2:Coming back after all that tragedy and all the things they've been through. I want to read the book about that. I don't want to read the book about yeah, you done did all this stuff. If I want to do that, I just get on the internet and surf. They're my people.
Speaker 1:You need to miss. Sure of both. You need the resiliency and you need the messiness. You need the chaos and you need the subtleness of it. You need the failures and you need the awards. You need a mixture of both, because we know that relationships are not straight laced. They're not straight to the point Relationships are messy, man.
Speaker 2:Well, this one is messy on TV.
Speaker 1:I don't want to see that on TV, okay, well then, you know what?
Speaker 2:Don't look I don't want to see this. That's why I watch HGTV and that's so popular HGTV. And that gets messy too with those battles To see who got the best house. But we all shake hands and be friends, but that's not the relationship.
Speaker 1:Right, you want to live in a world where it's just rainbows and butterflies, and we? Need to be able to see some reality, and that's not Okay.
Speaker 2:You can say that again. I want to live in a world of what?
Speaker 1:Rainbows and butterflies.
Speaker 2:Yes, but it's not always rainbows and butterflies. Sometimes it's crickets and roaches. Well, haven't we seen a lot Over the last four years? Haven't we seen a lot of crickets and roaches? Can we just have like one year with rainbows and butterflies?
Speaker 1:I'll take that. Okay, well, you know what? Here's my question who is your ideal couple when it comes to a relationship? Like? You look at them and you're like, oh yeah, I think it's together.
Speaker 2:I would say for a young person, lebron and his wife.
Speaker 1:Steph.
Speaker 2:Curry and his wife Naisha. I wouldn't say Michael Jordan and Juanita, but they ain't together no more. But they were good. No, they're not I think Denzel. I don't know who his wife is. I think he has a strong relationship. Morgan Freeman has a wife that he's been with, but I don't hit that.
Speaker 1:Let's not get on Morgan Freeman. What's wrong with Morgan? What does he do now? Come on, that's another LS.
Speaker 2:Oh, man, you talking about the guy on the electric company no.
Speaker 1:No, Morgan Freeman. No, look, you do a little bit of research. His stuff came up and it briefly went under the rug, but he yeah, oh, come on.
Speaker 2:Morgan the electric company got it. Yeah, why are?
Speaker 1:you referring to him as an electric company. He done, made about 20 million movies.
Speaker 2:But that's how I know. I came to know Morgan Freeman through the electric company when I was a kid.
Speaker 1:Come on, man, don't do that. I can't play, I hate no counting kangaroo.
Speaker 2:Don't do that. You know something we need to just leave alone and we can have it.
Speaker 1:We just need to leave alone, okay, well, nevertheless, like, you know a few that you look at.
Speaker 2:Well, I take them off the list. Then I take them off the list. Do a little bit of research, Do a little bit of research.
Speaker 1:Your boy, your boy, flawed out here. All right so. But okay, so you got a couple of relationships that you look at and you're like, oh, that looks pretty steady. So thus, that's the butterflies and rainbows that you want to see is the building, the net and the JZ and. Beyonce.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, they had a fight, but it's okay. They're not airing it out in business, they're business in the street. They're handling it on a personal level. That's what I'm saying. It's not that I'm like anti-will or Jada. It's like I don't want to handle your stuff as your stuff, handle it in a private way and don't necessarily put your business out for sale. It doesn't have to. You don't have to put your own. C Beyonce, let me put tell her do a tell all book for JZ or he's saying let me do a tell all book for Beyonce.
Speaker 1:Some people gone about give him a couple of years and there are.
Speaker 2:If they do that, then I'm going to come back and I'm just going to just cry on the radio for 30 minutes. How about that?
Speaker 1:Give him a couple of years they coming out with a book. Get to because we need to see these relationships, man. We need to see people who we admire and how they navigate relationships. That's what autobiography is for. What's the point of telling your life if you're not going to tell the full parts of it? I appreciate the vulnerability. I appreciate the raw and the ruggedness of the conversation. It makes everybody uncomfortable that Jada is this beautiful, successful actress who is navigating, like the rest of us, difficult relationships. There's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, I get it. I mean, if you're in Hollywood. I guess you got to sell a book or two.
Speaker 1:I'm going to sell a book. I'm going to write a book.
Speaker 2:Don't you write a tell all. I'm going to tell all the story of Asia King. You showed that, go right. You showed that, go right because you know what the story needs to be told yeah, you should Cheer me on.
Speaker 1:I got a story to tell and I'm ready to tell it Well, I'm going to come over your house this weekend.
Speaker 2:You can tell it, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 2:I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you over your house this weekend. You tell me all the stuff you're going to put on the book, and then I can put it out before the book come out, and then I can make some money too.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to let you filter my information.
Speaker 2:You don't get to tell my story.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell my story and I think I'm ready to tell it. But yeah, but no, I think Jada and Will are it's very own. I think society, I think people are uncomfortable with their story. I think they are fascinated by their story and I think it really just puts this reality that I don't. Like I said before, no matter the money, no matter the status, no matter where you are, relationships are messy, they are sticky, and no amount of money can make happiness True, because they're millionaires. They are millionaires. So you mean to tell me therapy wasn't working?
Speaker 2:I mean like you gotta actually work in therapy and celebrity divorce all the time. Yeah, they do. I mean, sometimes it's a clean break. Sometimes it's a messy break, but they're doing it. They're just like George and Weezy. George and Weezy, they ballad through the D and D up top partner in the sky. Yeah, they're moving on up, okay.
Speaker 1:All right, look y'all. This is what happens when you watch ESPN and HGTV too much and don't be looking at other folks' stuff and trying to keep your nose in the business. This is what happens you start singing old songs for sitcoms.
Speaker 2:So yeah, and it's a George.
Speaker 1:Jefferson weekend.
Speaker 2:My takeaway is you know, everybody has a story and although I get into my little judgment of willing and I'm gonna say willing grace, but that's a whole lot of people but willing Jada, I think everybody has a story and I agree with you, dr Asia, the relationships are very difficult and traditional relationships, you know. I think now they're being defined, they're being redefined. Resiliency in relationships. So, you know, although I have my little funny moments with willing Jada, I do believe that you know it's something to be said about the resiliency and how they able to keep their families together through these trying time, and I can see a lot of power. That's very powerful. So that's my takeaway.
Speaker 1:Okay, and my takeaway is that you know, like it or love it, how uncomfortable it may be, how exposing it may be. Jill and Jill, jada and Will that's what we're gonna call them, jill.
Speaker 2:Jill, jack and Jill.
Speaker 1:Jill, jill, jill, jada and Will's story is needed because it helps regular folk like me understand, like the complexity of somebody else's relationship. So I don't feel like I'm crazy in the struggles I may have with my relationships, like you, could you look, you take the meat, spit out the bone, take what you need, leave the rest. All of her story may not be for you. No, I do not have $12 million so I can't vacation out in Cancun and the Poconos when my partner pisses me off, I got to go to the basement.
Speaker 1:So she, her story and his story is an opportunity to just know that money and opportunities and fame and fortune does not transcend a relationship, it doesn't make a relationship, it doesn't create a happy relationship and you can't keep a relationship. So, whether you poor or whether you got all the riches in the world, relationships take work, got to ride the wave, ride the wave, mature with your partner going on. So I will be listening to her book on audio and when and it is because I'm kind of like you if she say one thing, I'm like I'm gonna cut this thing off, I'm gonna see, I'm gonna push through it, I'm gonna push through it.
Speaker 1:But I'm gonna read Will's book too, because I want to give a fair shake on how they both experienced and understand their relationship.
Speaker 2:So that's my takeaway.
Speaker 1:Will be coming back to that. All right, y'all take care of each other and, most importantly, take care of yourselves.
Speaker 2:Absolutely Peace, one moment.
