FunTranscript
00:00My name is Tia Mori, and I am best known for a little show called Sister, Sister.
00:10I came into this world with a twin.
00:12Right after that, I went into a 22-year relationship, having two beautiful children.
00:18Why are you so cute?
00:20Because I'm adorable.
00:22And then divorced.
00:23Well...
00:24You know I've never dated.
00:26Corey was my first.
00:27Right.
00:28Everything.
00:29I don't want to be alone, so I know that I have to put myself out there.
00:34I have to start dating again.
00:35Butterfly, because she's about to become new.
00:37Welcome to the healing party.
00:40I've gone from having an empty house to one filled with love.
00:44Cheers to new beginnings.
00:46Cheers!
00:47Woo!
00:48I am ready to move on.
00:49I dug up this old thing.
00:50That's my wedding dress!
00:51What are your thoughts on releasing this?
00:55Into the...
00:56No!
00:57By who?
00:58Yes.
00:59No.
01:00What if I'm not ready to move on?
01:01Somebody comes into my life, which I am seeing, by the way.
01:06You can meet an amazing man and still have one more child.
01:28God, it always feels so weird looking at myself.
01:41I have the best friends.
01:47They threw me this incredible healing party.
01:51It did what it was supposed to do.
01:53And Ciara, she is so funny, that girl.
01:55She thought that I should throw my wedding dress in the fire.
02:01And that just didn't feel right for me.
02:04But I did think of something else.
02:06What came up for me was my wedding band.
02:09I haven't worn it for almost two years now.
02:13And it just doesn't feel right to sell it.
02:16But what I'm wanting to do is change my wedding band into something for my kids.
02:25Pass it down, you know, to my kids.
02:27Because they have been my biggest gift.
02:32I'm sorry.
02:35Wow.
02:36Do you want to?
02:40I do.
02:43Because I haven't worn it, it's just been sitting.
02:50It was very pretty.
02:53You want another day to think about it?
02:56Maybe?
02:57No, because if it's made into something else, then it's put to use.
03:03And then it's sad, you know what I mean?
03:06Because this is a symbol of a marriage.
03:11And it's no longer.
03:15I would rather that kids have something.
03:23Hi.
03:36Hi, welcome to Artisanalay.
03:39Um, so basically, I am divorced.
03:51Congratulations.
03:53Thank you!
03:54As in your chapter.
03:54See, you know what?
03:56I've been saying that.
03:57I feel like that is very kind of you.
04:00And I feel like that's kind of like the thing to say
04:02because usually people will be like, aww.
04:06But I mean, there is sadness to it.
04:08Don't get me wrong, but I appreciate it.
04:10The best is in your chapter, so it's gonna be good.
04:13My pleasure.
04:14I feel like I'm having a therapy session
04:15with you right now.
04:16You do.
04:17I'm not a therapist.
04:17I'm just a nose kid about your argument, okay?
04:19No, but it's been two years.
04:22Okay.
04:23And what I wanna do is to take my wedding ring
04:29and turn it into some nice pieces,
04:33jewelry pieces for my two kids.
04:35Okay.
04:36We should measure them so we can start designing.
04:39Okay.
04:40It's hard for me to not think about Corey
04:43when I am deciding to repurpose my wedding band
04:47because he is the one that gave me my wedding ring.
04:53Let me do some testing.
04:54Oh Lord.
04:552006, December 25th, I was proposed to.
05:02I was at my mother's house around Christmas dinner
05:05and the song by Jagged Edge started playing
05:09and Corey got down on one knee
05:11in front of my whole entire family and asked to marry me.
05:15I was so surprised.
05:18So it's very hard for me not to think about
05:20what he would think.
05:22Diamond.
05:24Beautiful centerpiece.
05:26Very nice.
05:27But I am learning that at the end of the day,
05:30I need to make this decision for me.
05:34And I think because it's going to the kids, he'll be okay.
05:38So Cree, he is 12 going on 30.
05:42That's the boy, right?
05:43Yes, that's the boy.
05:4312 and a girl.
05:45And Cairo, she is five, which brings up my next point.
05:51I have to rush this because I want to gift her this
05:55for her birthday and that's very soon.
05:57So hopefully you'll be able to do that.
06:00Two weeks.
06:01Okay, that's possible.
06:02Oh, okay.
06:03That's possible, we have it too.
06:05In terms of pieces, what do you think would be great?
06:08Necklace, ring.
06:10For him, definitely a necklace.
06:12Boys love her dog tags.
06:14I was going to say that.
06:15And she's going to get, what kind of piece?
06:18Like a bracelet?
06:19I think a bracelet.
06:20I can make a connection between her piece
06:22and her brother piece.
06:23Yes.
06:24I just think it's so beautiful to transform something
06:28that was given out of love and to give it to your children.
06:33It just makes me feel like my marriage wasn't a waste.
06:39So what do you feel about this design?
06:42With some diamonds.
06:43I love it.
06:45This front.
06:46Oh my gosh.
06:48I did the right thing.
06:50That's fire.
06:51That's good?
06:52Fire.
06:53Because that's what the kids are saying now.
06:54Yes.
06:55Yes.
06:56Yes.
06:57Yes.
06:58Yes.
06:58Yes.
06:59Yes.
07:00Yes.
07:01Yes.
07:02Yes.
07:03Yes.
07:03Yes.
07:04Yes.
07:05Yes.
07:06Yes.
07:07Yes.
07:08Yes.
07:08Yes.
07:09Yes.
07:10Yes.
07:11Because you're not like that easy to surprise.
07:13You're like.
07:14No.
07:15What are you doing?
07:15Where are you going?
07:16I know.
07:17What am I wearing?
07:18You know.
07:19Oh my gosh.
07:20Get out of the driver's seat.
07:20I know.
07:21It's hard for me.
07:22Let's put you up.
07:23Cairo's car seat.
07:24Listen.
07:25It is how I have learned to survive in the past.
07:28Ooh.
07:30And what did you do with that gift Jules got you?
07:33Oh.
07:34Oh my God.
07:38Here's your pickle, honey.
07:40Where's that guy?
07:42You got that thing stuck in the shower?
07:47I'm going to check.
07:49I did not use it in the shower.
07:51Oh, you didn't use it in the shower.
07:53It was somewhere else.
07:55See you laughing too much.
07:58You want it.
07:59You can have it.
08:00I like a heartbeat attached.
08:01That's what I'm saying.
08:02It's not warm.
08:03It's cold.
08:04It's just like, what is that?
08:06Speaking of all that good stuff.
08:08I think we should explore some new realms of dating.
08:15Is that not what you want?
08:16It's amazing to go to bed
08:18and not have anybody on your mind.
08:20You know, I sleep more peacefully.
08:24I was allowed to date at 18
08:28and I got right into a relationship at 20.
08:31Like I did not experience being single.
08:35Here I am, an actress,
08:37dating all of these different guys on television.
08:39I was pulling from my ass
08:42because I had no experience when it came to dating.
08:46Tia Landry got more dates than Tia Maury.
08:51The first thing that I did outside of my divorce
08:54was get on the dating apps.
08:55And it was such a terrible experience for me.
08:59Gave me PTSD.
09:00Like, I just don't want to do that anymore, you know?
09:04So I've taken a little bit of a break.
09:06I was influenced to get on a dating app.
09:09Y'all, I didn't want to do it.
09:11Ciara, she was like, Tia, just do it.
09:13Like, just get on Raya.
09:14Just try it.
09:16Like one guy connected with me
09:19and the first thing that came out of his mouth,
09:21he was like, oh my gosh,
09:23I used to watch Sister Sister when I was a kid.
09:26I'm a huge fan.
09:27And I'm like, no, don't do that.
09:31You're not supposed to do that.
09:35This morning I saw on the news that speed dating
09:38is making like a really huge comeback.
09:40Oh God.
09:41I've never done anything like that.
09:42So I thought.
09:43You thought what?
09:45We're about to single.
09:47Ready to mingle.
09:48Single like a Pringle.
09:50I've always like secretly had an interest in doing it.
09:52And just like, you don't know
09:55who you're going to end up in front of, you know?
09:57You wouldn't be open to that.
09:58God, really Ciara?
09:59You're not signing up for anything serious
10:02or anything at all.
10:02We need to talk about that
10:03because I think that is where I get stuck
10:06because growing up as a child,
10:08I was raised to date, to marry.
10:13That's what dating is and was about.
10:16Get you from the past, hold on.
10:18So in my mind when I'm dating,
10:21I'm like, oh my God,
10:22this person needs to be somebody
10:23that I'm thinking about marrying.
10:25You know what I mean?
10:27So my parents were in the army, okay?
10:30And I think army brats will know
10:33that a lot of rules are placed.
10:38And it was just a rule in the house
10:41that I couldn't date until I was 18.
10:44And then as soon as I turned 18,
10:46she was like, okay, go ahead, you know?
10:50Like sending me out to the wolves.
10:54Well, maybe not.
10:55But I think it was just protection.
10:58And I was okay with that.
10:59You know what I mean?
11:00Because I was too busy making money.
11:03So I think I'm stuck in that.
11:06And when I did the dating app situation,
11:09I was like, oh my God,
11:10this is just a waste of time.
11:12Well, and I think that's probably why speed dating
11:14will be beneficial for you
11:15because it's like-
11:16Practice.
11:17Just get you out of the comfort zone
11:18and getting some of the screws moving
11:20and changing some of the patterns.
11:22Neuroplasticity.
11:23Exactly.
11:24Okay.
11:25And I'm like, I love you and I'm invested in your life,
11:27but I'm trying to find love too.
11:30I'm like, I'm going to get to the Googles
11:32and see if there's anything like close by
11:33that we could attend.
11:36It's just for like fun.
11:38It's no pressure.
11:38Yeah.
11:39I mean, I don't know.
11:41I don't want to go speed dating,
11:43but listen, I know that I have to start taking baby steps.
11:48Get out of my head and just go for it
11:51because I don't want to die alone.
11:55So I go speed dating.
11:58Don't leave me.
11:59I won't leave you hanging.
12:00I'll totally try it.
12:01Listen, if you're there with me, then I mean,
12:04I think this is why it's so cool.
12:06We're like in this journey together.
12:07You know what I mean?
12:08There's no pressure attached to it.
12:10Like a few minutes with one person
12:12and then at the end of the night,
12:13you're still going to-
12:14Yeah.
12:15Sleep peacefully.
12:17By yourself.
12:18And maybe with the gift Jules gave you.
12:22Bye, Sierra.
12:25Drive safe, pumpkin.
12:30I just feel like I have this beautiful house.
12:32I have a beautiful career.
12:34I have amazing kids.
12:36But the one thing that I don't have is love.
12:39And that's the one thing that I want more than anything.
12:43I'm about to go and do this speed dating.
12:46If they can't handle you, we need to know off the top.
12:48Cheers to love.
12:49Cheers.
12:50I love you.
12:51He legit pissed me off.
12:53I hate when this stuff happens
12:54because it makes me feel like I've made a mistake.
12:56A mistake of what?
12:58Of getting a divorce.
13:01This December.
13:02I miss you.
13:03True love is calling.
13:05Love you, baby.
13:05Give me a kiss.
13:07But it comes at a price.
13:09To accept charges, press one.
13:12He called me from prison and the rest is history.
13:14Get ready for drama.
13:16She's a puppet master.
13:17That's off the hook.
13:18What are you doing?
13:19Get the fuck out of here.
13:20This call is being terminated.
13:23Hello?
13:24The all new season of...
13:27Hey, girl.
13:28Look how cute you are.
13:31Just trying to keep up with you.
13:32Whatever.
13:33Natasha, she's always been someone that I could lean on.
13:38She's like my protector, you know,
13:39especially when it comes to my heart.
13:42So guess what I'm about to do?
13:44What?
13:45I'm about to go and do this speed dating situation.
13:49Shut up.
13:52Who told you it was this?
13:53Sierra's.
13:55I cannot believe she didn't run inside me.
13:56Yeah, I know.
13:57Why are you doing this?
13:58Is this for fun?
13:59Or is this like you really think you can meet someone?
14:02I'm just having a little fun,
14:05do a little practicing because I just haven't dated.
14:08Okay, I like this.
14:09Okay.
14:10What are we wearing?
14:11Okay, that was one thing I did want to ask you.
14:13Let me just put the phone right here for you.
14:16Okay.
14:17What about this?
14:19No.
14:22Why?
14:25Okay.
14:25The whole dating world is completely different.
14:28Back in the day,
14:29dating apps weren't a part of the dating world.
14:32God, it makes me feel like I'm so old.
14:36What about this?
14:39So.
14:42Yes, I thank God for Natasha
14:46because I don't know what to expect.
14:48I don't know what questions to ask.
14:51I only have five minutes with each of these guys.
14:54What do I do?
14:55What do I say?
14:58Do you have kids?
15:01Have you ever been arrested?
15:05Is he intimidated by someone of your sex?
15:09Is he a secure person?
15:10Is he confident?
15:12Wow, that's something that I should ask?
15:15Yes, because if they can't handle you,
15:18we need to know.
15:19We need to know off jump.
15:20I know you like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
15:23You're chancy.
15:25We don't have time for all that.
15:27Okay.
15:27We gotta get straight to the point.
15:28Okay, aww, Natasha.
15:30You can tell me how this goes.
15:31I will.
15:32Love you, love you, love you.
15:35Oh my God.
15:38Can I like maybe practice really quick?
15:40Like I'm on a date.
15:41This is your unscripted show.
15:42Yeah.
15:44Really quick.
15:45Okay.
15:46Ask Pa one day.
15:47All right.
15:48Okay, you guys, I'm gonna practice with you.
15:50God, I'm so nervous.
15:53So, are you intimidated by my status?
15:57See, that doesn't,
15:59God, that feels like I'm full of my.
16:00Sonny.
16:01And I met some interesting men.
16:03Your name is Jay?
16:04Yes.
16:05J-A-Y?
16:06Bonzo.
16:07Bonzo.
16:07What's your name?
16:08Maher.
16:09What?
16:10Like Maher.
16:11Maher.
16:12My name is Tia, T-I-A.
16:14Like the Tia Mowry.
16:16Yes, that's me.
16:17That's you.
16:19Man, oh God.
16:22I really like your hair.
16:24It's so beautiful.
16:25Appreciate it.
16:26So.
16:27You're beautiful.
16:28Aw, thank you.
16:32That's cute.
16:33I know you do that as a defense mechanism.
16:35You're cute, huh?
16:40Okay.
16:41If I had to rate these men,
16:42I would rate some as having a little potential.
16:45Are you like currently reading any books?
16:47You know, I don't like to read too many dense,
16:49you know, subjects as of late.
16:50You know, I'll say that.
16:51I like someone sharing their experiences more so.
16:54Okay.
16:55Yeah.
16:56For others, I would rate as,
16:57maybe I would stay for one more drink.
17:01Tia, yes.
17:03And then there were some I would rate as,
17:07hi.
17:08Hello, how are you?
17:09I'm good, how are you?
17:11Yeah, not my type.
17:14Honestly, they all were not my type.
17:17I think the type of guy that I'm really attracted to
17:21is a guy who's, you know, tatted.
17:23Do you have any tattoos?
17:25No, I have no tattoos.
17:26That's awesome.
17:27That's great.
17:28I like a guy who's funny,
17:29who has a sense of humor.
17:31How do you feel about olives?
17:32A lot of people don't do olives.
17:33I love olives.
17:34I love you.
17:37I like a guy with like bad boy qualities and edge.
17:41Awesome.
17:41Do I feel like this was a waste of time?
17:44Yes.
17:44But in situations like this,
17:46I like to ask myself,
17:48what did you learn from this?
17:50And what I learned is,
17:52I will never do this again.
17:56Tia, hello.
17:57Hi.
17:58Well, I'm just going to skip the queue.
18:00What do you mean?
18:01Can I get your number?
18:02Ah!
18:03Because I'm not going to wait for them to link this up.
18:05I'm going to leave you alone.
18:06I'm going to leave you alone.
18:07I'm going to leave you alone.
18:08I'm going to leave you alone.
18:09I'm going to leave you alone.
18:10I'm just going to come straight for it.
18:12How about this?
18:13Talk to me.
18:15How about you give me your number?
18:18I'll do that.
18:19Okay.
18:20Never give your number to a guy you don't like.
18:22Take theirs.
18:23That's something that I've learned from the Sunbeams,
18:26you know, on the game.
18:29It was a pleasure to meet you.
18:30Pleasure to meet you.
18:31Wonderful night.
18:32Okay, you too.
18:32Bye.
18:33Bye.
18:35Y'all, Boo Boo is young.
18:38He is young.
18:39Does he have mommy issues or big sister issues?
18:45Are you going to call him?
18:47No.
18:48He's very sweet, but he's just not my type.
18:51You know what I want?
18:52I want a little more hood.
18:53Yeah.
18:54And I felt like there was no swag.
18:56Sonny was like the hottest.
18:58I think Sonny was the coolest.
18:59Sonny was like, Luigi.
19:02I don't think I got Luigi.
19:03He was adorable.
19:05Okay.
19:05But he was...
19:08What's that?
19:08Short.
19:09How did you know?
19:11He was sitting down.
19:13He literally was like, yes, you.
19:16I think I just peed.
19:17Hi.
19:18Hi.

19:32Hi.
19:33Hi.
19:34Hi.
19:35Hi.
19:37You look beautiful as ever.
19:39You too.
19:41You got your Sasha arms.
19:42Who knows?
19:43Sure, I do name my wigs.
19:46I know my friend.
19:47Yeah, you do.
19:48That's right.
19:49Boop, boop.
19:50We're talking about this dating situation.
19:54I need the team.
19:55It was a show.
19:57It was hell.
19:59You know?
20:00So then what do you want to do?
20:01What's your best case scenario?
20:02I think I'm just going to die alone.
20:03Girl, bye.
20:05You will never be alone.
20:06You have us.
20:08Then you're basing a few dating app experiences
20:11and then one speed dating situation
20:14and now you're like that's the whole-
20:14That's enough.
20:15That's not the whole dating pool though.
20:17But did I tell you the other one from Raya?
20:20We went out to dinner and he showed up with a grill.
20:23Oh, hell no.
20:25Yes, he literally took his grill out of his mouth
20:29and he put it on a napkin.
20:31That's just nasty.
20:31Right before we started to eat.
20:33And I'm like, what the hell?
20:35I wish I would have been speed dating then.
20:37Maybe you don't have to be in a rush to do anything.
20:40Like maybe you just need time for yourself.
20:43I've never been alone in my life.
20:46You have a twin.
20:46You were born with someone.
20:48I feel like that has such an effect on you.
20:49Yes.
20:50Just like always having someone there.
20:53Yes, they say that self-love and spending time
20:55with yourself and all of that is important.
20:57But what is wrong with me saying I want a partner?
21:00Like I just want someone to-
21:02Nothing.
21:03Absolutely nothing.
21:05You're fighting back tears?
21:06Yes.
21:07Let it go.
21:09I think I'm just saying I just want someone to hold
21:14and someone to hold me and to hug me.
21:16And what's wrong with wanting that?
21:18Nothing.
21:19There's nothing wrong with that.
21:20You're lonely.
21:20You're lonely.
21:21I just feel like I have this beautiful house.
21:24I have beautiful career.
21:26I have amazing kids.
21:28But the one thing that I don't have is love.
21:31And that's the one thing that I want
21:33more than anything.
21:38The only person that I ever loved in my life was my ex.
21:42Oh, he's cute.
21:43Are you guys on my Araya account?
21:45Do you trust us?
21:46No.
21:47Guys, be ready.
21:50We're here to sift through the BS.
21:51Who's being real?
21:52You're lying.
21:53And who's not?
21:54These guys have drove me to drink.
21:56He legit pissed me off.
21:58I hate when this stuff happens
22:00because it makes me feel like I've made a mistake.
22:02A mistake of what?
22:03Of getting a divorce.
22:32It's my turn.
22:42Next Friday on an all new Life After Lockup.
22:45I'm not happy about our sex right now.
22:47Oh God, oh God.
22:48I'm still technically married.
22:51I'm looking for an engagement ring.
22:5220 to 23,000.
22:53Ain't no way.
22:54You have a female energy that's around you
22:57that's drama filled.
22:58We're done.
23:00You have lost control.
23:02He's not ready to take on my children
23:04if God forbid something ever happens to me.
23:06Don't miss an all new Life After Lockup
23:08next Friday at eight.
23:09Part of For Real Fridays on WE tv.
23:11Stream on all black.
23:14The one thing that I don't have is love.
23:16And that's the one thing that I want more than anything.
23:21You feel lonely even though you have a tribe around you.
23:24I do.
23:25And I'm tired of feeling that way to be honest with you.
23:29You can see the pain that she's going through.
23:32And I've been there.
23:34After my relationship, I was single for nine years.
23:38And it was an emotional rollercoaster.
23:41It's like a storm, you know, the storm passed.
23:44Oh my God.
23:45Tia just has to take her time
23:47and welcome the woes and the no's until she get her yes.
23:52It could be depressing and heartbreaking
23:55but there are a shortage in men, girl.
23:58Good men.
23:59Good men.
24:02They out here.
24:02There's a lot of them.
24:04I hate when this stuff happens
24:05because it makes me feel like I've made a mistake.
24:07A mistake of what?
24:10I'm getting a divorce.
24:11Girl, it's a vibe, vibe.
24:13And that is spirit.
24:15Because you thought about that long and hard.
24:17I did, I did.
24:18For years.
24:18If it wasn't one argument, you're out.
24:21Yeah.
24:22I don't want to be alone, you know.
24:24So when I'm going through these challenges
24:27sometimes you want to go back.
24:29And if I'm being very honest, the,
24:32oh my God, I'm about to cry.
24:42The only person that I ever loved in my life was my ex.
24:49And
24:50just because you are no longer
24:53doesn't mean that there's no love there.
24:57He's still in my heart, you know.
25:00And just to think about someone else feels weird.
25:08But love is not enough to stay in a relationship.
25:14And I'm not saying that love is bad.
25:17To stay in a relationship.
25:20And I know that my friends want to see me happy.
25:23You know, they want to see me move on.
25:25I think because I want love so badly
25:28when I first started dating,
25:30it's almost like I wanted someone more
25:33than even looking at who they were as a person.
25:35So I was like just allowing anything in and beating my ass.
25:40But you had to go through that.
25:41I did.
25:42And there's only a few that are work,
25:45your energy and your time.
25:47And even getting to know you.
25:48And I've learned that.
25:49Yeah, how to be selective.
25:51Well, that's the thing.
25:52Well, know your value.
25:53Next time you go out on a date
25:55and someone put their grill on the table.
25:57And you don't step up.
25:59Exactly.
26:01Because I just can't get that out of my head.
26:07Okay, so I have an idea.
26:09Okay.
26:09Give me your phone and I'll unlock it.
26:11Uh-oh.
26:12Why?
26:14What are you doing, Natasha?
26:15Okay, it's unlocked.
26:16Okay.
26:18Okay, where is Raya?
26:20I've deleted that app.
26:21Well, I'm going to reinstall it.
26:24But don't, I...
26:26Natasha.
26:27Sierra and I are going to take care of it.
26:28Oh, don't sign me up for this.
26:29Yes, you are, yes.
26:31Okay, yes.
26:32Okay.
26:32You guys are serious.
26:34Yes, we are.
26:35It's done.
26:36You're kidding me.
26:37Yes.
26:38It was that quick to reactivate Raya?
26:41Wait a minute.
26:42Oh my God.
26:43Does she have any, like, hard no's?
26:45Like, no.
26:46She gets no say?
26:47Okay, so you don't have to worry about anything.
26:48I think we only need, like, a week, maybe.
26:51One week.
26:52We'll do all the vetting.
26:53You won't look at anything.
26:54You won't see anything.
26:56Because you'll get in the way.
26:57You'll do too much.
26:59We'll do all the planning for you.
27:00We'll go on a pre-date.
27:02Yeah.
27:03It's going to be great.
27:04She's so scared.
27:05Do you trust us?
27:06No.
27:07Oh, dang.
27:08Do I think them pre-screening a man for me is a good idea?
27:12Absolutely.
27:14Does it scare me?
27:16Absolutely.
27:19I'm already worried for the guy.
27:21You guys are so hard.
27:23Should be.
27:23Yes, hard to please.
27:24Yes, we are.
27:26I mean, rightfully so.
27:27You just want some regular degular shmegular.
27:30Oh, I can't wait.
27:34Cheers to finding love at some point.
27:43Let the sun shine in, dry up all the rain.
27:46Let the good vibes in, wash away the pain.
27:49Live it out, live it out.
27:52You can't afford, you can't afford to be stopped.
27:56So next week you have a very full day.
27:59So we will do a full day of social shooting with you.
28:02I'm the CEO of my own hair care line, For You By Tia,
28:06which is a hair care line catered
28:08to the curly hair community.
28:11We have a wide range of products within the line.
28:15And my business partner Karima and I,
28:18we, you know, we have our hands full.
28:20We're also working on some other amazing things
28:23I cannot wait to share.
28:28Where did that come from?
28:30People really love to see you supporting the brand.
28:34So we'll have about 10 videos
28:37that we're trying to capture, maybe 11.
28:39Oh my gosh.
28:41That's a lot.
28:42That is a lot.
28:43Karima.
28:44You can do it, you can do it, you can do it.
28:47Um, okay.
28:48It's just, you know, I wear so many different hats.
28:50So that's kind of like why I'm feeling
28:52a little overwhelmed right now.
28:53It's a lot.
28:54It's like, if I'm not looking at product,
28:56I'm looking at influencers,
28:57and then I have all of these auditions coming through.
28:59And there's a New York trip in between all of this?
29:02The week after.
29:04You guys, having a social life
29:08and wearing all of these hats,
29:10meaning running a business, being a mom, being an actor,
29:14who has time to date?
29:16We will worry about that.
29:18Okay.
29:19In a couple of days.
29:20Got it.
29:21We're just, focus here, focus here.
29:23Okay.
29:34Wait, are we doing, like, good cop, bad cop kind of thing?
29:37I'm totally down with being bad cop.
29:39I can ask the questions like, do you have money?
29:42Are you financially stable?
29:46Cece and I have been managing Tia's Raya account.
29:50Oh, he's cute.
29:52Are you guys on my Raya account?
29:54It's been fun pretending to be her.
29:57This isn't fair.
29:58Some of these men are fine.
30:00Yes, baby.
30:01He can get it, he can get it, he can get it.
30:04I take this one for myself.
30:06We have narrowed down the matches to four guys
30:09who we believe fits Tia's standards,
30:13and they have agreed to meet for lunch with her.
30:19Yes.
30:20Yes.
30:21Yes.
30:22Yes.
30:23Yes.
30:24For lunch with her.
30:27Yeah.
30:28Y'all can't handle us.
30:30But what they don't know is they're about to meet with us instead.
30:35I gotta be ready to swing across the table.
30:37And we are coming in hot with the questions.
30:41Is it aggressive if I ask if he's ever thought about being with the same sex before?
30:47You have to ask these questions in L.A.
30:50Guys, be ready.
30:55Let's go.
30:57Oh, my God.
30:58I'm sweating.
30:59Fridays are for real on WE tv.
31:01Oh, we ready to be out of here.
31:03First to date.
31:04It's cuffing season on Life After Life.
31:06I'm here to meet someone else.
31:08No, you're here for us.
31:10We are Tia Maureen.
31:12Hello.
31:13Where's Tia?
31:15She's not here.
31:16We are her best friends.
31:18So we're here to interview you.
31:20Okay.
31:21We don't want her to waste her time.
31:23We are doing kind of like a screening process.
31:26Is that okay?
31:27Are you nervous?
31:28I'm used to being catfished a little bit, I guess.
31:30Aw, that sucks.
31:31We are kind of catfishing.
31:33Eventually, if they pass the test, they will get to meet her.
31:36But you're about to just show up and meet my friend all willy-nilly.
31:39Like, do you know who she is?
31:40Y'all are good friends.
31:41Exactly.
31:42Thank you for understanding the mission.
31:44I respect it.
31:45How old are you?
31:4633.
31:47I am 34.
31:48And what's your sign?
31:49Capricorn.
31:50Capricorn.
31:51Capricorn.
31:52My coach.
31:53My entrepreneur.
31:54Tech startup.
31:55Do you work out?
31:56Yeah.
31:57You a liar.
31:58Okay.
31:59Can you change a tire?
32:00I'm gonna need a check.
32:01I can't change a tire.
32:02Can I see your nails?
32:03Can I take a look at you?
32:04Okay.
32:05They're clean.
32:06Very clean.
32:07And your feet?
32:08How big are they?
32:0914.
32:1014.
32:11Wow.
32:12Sorry, how tall are you again?
32:136'6".
32:146'6".
32:156'6"?
32:16What?
32:1714.
32:18Okay.
32:19Can you walk back a little bit?
32:20Twirl.
32:22I feel like I'm a TSA, you know?
32:25Jean-Luc, his profile seemed to be very sweet and soft and very romantic.
32:32What are your thoughts on dating a celebrity?
32:34I did music and stuff growing up, and I played with well-known people, so I think I have
32:39a colleague respect.
32:40Okay.
32:41And so, Natasha and I thought that he would be a great fit because he's all in her deep
32:46bag, very intentional, and he seemed to be very intentional.
32:49Do you have any kids?
32:50One kid.
32:51Okay.
32:52How old?
32:53About to be three.
32:54Boy or girl?
32:55Girl.
32:56So, Natasha and I chose Phil because he's really tall.
33:01We know Tia loves height.
33:03He's an entrepreneur, so he makes his own money.
33:06That's a hell yes.
33:09How would you describe your personality?
33:11Quick, go.
33:12Three.
33:13Funny, intelligent, witful.
33:18Witty.
33:20Sounds very funny.
33:21We all know Tia loves to laugh.
33:23This feels like a good match.
33:25Is Joey your real name?
33:26It is short for my full name, my given name, which is Joseph.
33:29I had an ex named Joseph.
33:31Did you?
33:32He was a dick.
33:33He was a dick?
33:34Yeah.
33:35Well?
33:36Joey now felt very sophisticated to me, very mature.
33:40He came with that, like, I'm not trying to play any games energy.
33:44Are all Joey's the same?
33:46I mean, if you get on my bad side sometimes.
33:48Oh, well, it's about that.
33:49You mean the bad side?
33:50If I am protective of my woman and you threaten her, you're on my bad side.
33:55Even my best friends, guy friends, doesn't matter.
33:57I'm very protective.
33:58You step in.
33:59Absolutely.
34:00I'm a black belt in Taekwondo.
34:01That's what I was taught to do.
34:02Okay.
34:03Everything's going great right now.
34:04Everything sounds really nice, but we're here to sift through the BS.
34:08Who's being real and who's not?
34:10So what are you looking for?
34:12I'm looking for someone to adventure through life with, you know?
34:17Someone, a woman?
34:18Yes, a woman.
34:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:20Have you ever been curious about another?
34:22I've never been curious.
34:23Have you ever been with the same sex before?
34:26No.
34:27Curious?
34:28No.
34:29Do you know your love languages?
34:31I would say, I don't remember them, but I know touch is one.
34:35Okay, that's your number one?
34:36No, I don't know what the others are.
34:37Okay, so there's, like, act of service.
34:39Words of affirmation.
34:40Words of affirmation.
34:41Definitely not that one.
34:43Why is words of affirmation weird to you?
34:46He said not that one.
34:47Because I got, like, a lot of women in my family,
34:49and whenever they compliment you, they trying to ask for some money.
34:52Okay, wait, hold up.
34:55No compliments.
34:56I'm not going to help you to say good job, but if it's a good job.
34:58No, baby, you look good.
34:59Oh, yeah, I should say that stuff more.
35:01Yeah, you giving gifts.
35:02I like being, so gifts is cool, but why are you giving gifts?
35:06So you don't like to give gifts?
35:08Yeah, I'm giving a gift is when I got caught or something.
35:10Caught doing what?
35:13I know he did not just say that.
35:16Who hurt you?
35:17And this is why we need to do this, to X out the red flags.
35:20When was your last relationship?
35:22I broke up with somebody I was talking to.
35:26Straightforward, I broke up with them.
35:27I broke up.
35:28Well, we broke up, we broke up.
35:29Are you still friends?
35:30Yeah, we're cool.
35:31I mean, we don't talk regularly.
35:33So when you do talk, what is it about?
35:35What's the nature of the conversation?
35:36Okay, we don't really talk.
35:38The way he just said I broke up with her,
35:41it's like some kind of validation seeking.
35:44Who gives a f***?
35:46Are you in a relationship or not?
35:48Kick out.
35:51I have no words.
35:54Your last relationship, why did it end?
35:57Since we're getting personal, let's get personal.
35:59Yeah.
36:00She had an abortion, but she already had kids.
36:02How you gonna kill my black kid and let your white kids live?
36:12Oh my...
36:16I would never send my friend out on a date with this idiot.
36:21No!
36:24Fingers, toes crossed, third time's the charm.
36:27How do you feel about being a stepdad?
36:30I'm just gonna be honest, it's not my first choice.
36:32What we gonna do?
36:34If it's not your first choice, knowing that Tia has two children,
36:39what made you...
36:41Because I'm 38.
36:43I'm not 20.
36:44It has nothing to do with her being Tia, Mari.
36:46Absolutely not.
36:48Do you want me to get you a tissue?
36:49Because I see the sweat.
36:50Oh, I glisten.
36:51Are you nervous?
36:52I am nervous, and even more so now,
36:54knowing that you two had hijacked her account, apparently,
36:57and brought me in.
36:59How do you feel about that?
37:01I'm both incredibly impressed by you and completely annoyed.
37:05That's funny.
37:06Why annoyed?
37:07Okay.
37:08Yeah, no, my time is important.
37:09I mean, I know that I'm worth more than being catfished,
37:12even if it is by two beautiful women.
37:15When was your last relationship?
37:16When was my last relationship?
37:20You can say thank you.
37:21Also, you're not being catfished.
37:22Right.
37:23You don't.
37:24I guess I'll talk to you.
37:25Wow, this gets a little aggressive.
37:27Oh, it's not aggressive, it's just I know who I am.
37:29Okay, right, we're getting to know who you are.
