"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

IF IT WERE TRUE, HOW DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD FEEL?

BETRAYED, HURT, AND GONE.

IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE COULD TALK.

I'M GETTING READY TO GO ON TOUR.

WE GO OUT IN THREE WEEKS,

AND I'M STARTING TO FREAK OUT A LITTLE BIT.

IT'S YOUR TIME, NOW.

SO, YOU GOTTA DO IT.

YES.

JUST GOTTA START RUNNIN'-- I'M TIRED AS HELL.

THIS IS JUST TO GET US PREPARED FOR THE TOUR!

SHE'S PREPARED !

♪ WE ARE THE BRAXTONS AND YOU'LL SEE ♪

♪ THAT WE ARE NOT LIKE AN ORDINARY FAMILY ♪

♪ TONI TRACI TOWANDA TRINA TAMAR AND MISS E ♪

♪ WILL TEACH YOU A THING OR TWO ON BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES ♪

I'M JUST GONNA PACK ONE BAG.

HOW MANY BAGS YOU GOT?

ONE-- ONE BIG ONE.

BIGGER THAN THAT?

IT'S MAYBE A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN THIS ONE.

- YSL OR GUCCI? - EXCUSE ME.

- THAT'S A TOUGH CHOICE. - THIS ONE.

- I WOULD GO FOR YSL. - THIS ONE.

TRINA AND I ARE GOING TO L.A.

FOR REHEARSALS FOR TONI'S TOUR,

AND WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING ON THE ROAD RIGHT AFTER REHEARSAL.

SO, WE HAVE TO BE PACKED AND READY TO GO.

AND I HAVE TO SAY-- BEING ON TOUR WITH MY SISTERS

IS GONNA BE A LOT OF FUN.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I NEVER GET EXCITED UNTIL I GET ON THE PLANE.

WE'RE TAKING THE TOUR BUS.

- HUH? - WE'RE ON THE TOUR BUS.

- WHO IS IT? - SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!

OH, LORD, GOD, AND ALL THAT IS HOLY.

- HEY, TONE! - HEY, TONE!

- WHO IS THIS? - ME AND TRINI.

WE WERE TALKIN' ABOUT HOW EXCITED WE ARE ABOUT THE TOUR.

- YAY-- YOU KNOW, TONE? - WHAT?

YOU KNOW HOW YOU ALWAYS HAVE MUSIC PLAYING

BEFORE YOU GO ON STAGE IN THE HOUSE?

YEAH.

I WAS THINKING THAT MAYBE, EVERY SO OFTEN,

YOU COULD POSSIBLY PLAY "GAME TIME"

AND/OR "PARTY OR GO HOME."

OH.

WHAT-- WHAT?

ABS-ABSO-SMURFLY, YES.

LAST TIME I PERFORMED IN THE MIDDLE OF TONI'S SHOW,

NOT EVERYTHING WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN.

♪ IF YOU DIDN'T COME TO PARTY THEN YOU BETTER GO HOME ♪

I THINK TRINA'S PERFORMANCE WAS SATISFACTORY.

I GIVE HER A C-PLUS.

AND NOW, TONI'S GIVING ME ANOTHER CHANCE,

AND THIS IS MY OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE TO TONI

AND THE WORLD THAT I AM, YES, AN A-PLUS PERFORMER.

- I'LL CALL YOU LATER. - OKAY, LOVE YOU-- BYE. - ALL RIGHT, BYE-- LOVE YOU.

- OKAY, BYE. - BYE.

YAY!

YIPPEE-OH-YEAH.

I THINK SHE MIGHT CHANGE HER MIND.

I DON'T THINK SO.

IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WHEN IT COMES TO, LIKE,

TAMAR'S PROJECT, TONI'S LIKE, "OH, MY GOD!

"OH, TAMAR!

"WE'RE IN THE OLYMPICS.

"I'M PASSING THE TORCH ON OVER TO YOU."

BUT, WHEN IT COMES TO ME, "YOUR JUDIES ARE WRONG.

"I DON'T LIKE YOUR POM-POMS."

WHY ARE THERE POM-POMS?

NO POM-POMS. - YEAH.

YEAH, THEM POM-POMS ARE SO WRONG.

I WANNA KICK THEM IN THE THROAT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YA'LL DON'T LIKE THE POM-POMS!

THEM WRONG, GIRL.

DON'T ACT LIKE YOU DISAGREE,

'CAUSE IT'S THE T-R-U-T-H.

I SAY NOTHING.

I'M TRYING TO STAY OUT OF STUFF NOWADAYS,

EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE ARE TELLIN' ME STUFF.

YOU KNOW, I JUST FEEL LIKE NO ONE PLACING THE BLAME ON ME,

SAYING THAT I SAID STUFF.

SO, I'M JUST KEEPIN' MY MOUTH SHUT.

OH, IT'S SO SUPER EXCITING.

WE'RE GOING ON TOUR!

AH-AH-AH-AH-AH- AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH!

NOT THE HAND.

MY HAND IS IMPORTANT TO ME-- IT'S A FREE ACCESSORY.

READY-- LET'S START OVER.

THE TOUR-- AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH!

- SO SUCH A-- - I'M EXCITABLE.

- I LIKE THEM SHOES, GIRL. - BOOM!

- I NEED THEM IN MY LIFE. - WHAT SIZE YOU WEAR?

- UH, EIGHT AND A HALF. - OH, NO.

YOU LOOK NICE TODAY.

NO, YOU LOOK NICE TODAY, HONEY-- YES.

I LOVE THAT PURPLE.

SO, YA'LL READY?

- READY, READY. - YES, I'M READY.

A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I WENT TO BLIS.

I WAS DOING A INTERVIEW WITH RAHEEM DEVAUGHN,

AND AFTER MY INTERVIEW, EVERYBODY WAS LAUGHING AT ME

ACTING LIKE TRACI.

THEY WAS LIKE, "WELL, TRACI, WHAT MORE CAN WE DO FOR YOU?"

I SAID, "UH, GIVE ME A SHOW."

AND I GOT IT.

I THINK IT'S GONNA BE FUN.

AND IN THE RESPONSE ON INSTAGRAM AND TWITTER,

PEOPLE ARE SO EXCITED.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A HOST, BUT I NEVER THOUGHT

I WOULD HAVE MY OWN RADIO SHOW.

I HAVE THE, UM, THE CLOCK FOR US HERE TO GO OVER.

WE HAVE A LOT OF INTERVIEWS LINED UP,

AND WE'LL DEFINITELY DO THE INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT OF THE WEEK,

AND THEN, THE TOP THREE THINGS,

TRACI'S VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK,

AND THEN, WHO ROCKED IT BEST.

- OKAY. - AND, TRACI, I HAVE

OKAY.

THIS IS SO THAT, YOU KNOW,

WHEN WE TRANSITION IN AND OUT OF SONGS,

YOU WIIN AND OLL BE ABLE O REMIND THE LISTENER

WHOEVER THE ARTIST WAS.

"THAT WAS FANTASIA.

"YOU'RE LOGGED ONTO BLIS.FM.

"CALL US."

I'M STARTING TO FEEL NERVOUS BECAUSE--

AM I GONNA DO THIS RIGHT?

AM I GONNA ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS?

UM, WILL I BABBLE ON AND ON OF THE SHOW?

NOBODY DON'T WANT A BABBLER.

AND I THINK THE-THE FANS AND THE VIEWERS,

THEY ARE, LIKE, SO EXCITED ABOUT IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

YOU HAVE ISSUES.

YOU-YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE IMAGE STUFF YOU WORK--

YOU KNOW, LIKE, JUST, LIKE ME. - YEAH.

AND I THINK A LOT OF WOMAN CAN APPRECIATE THAT 'CAUSE--

BECAUSE IT'S RELATABLE.

- YEAH. - YEAH. - YOU KNOW?

SO, I-I THINK YOU'RE GONNA DO SO GOOD.

LIKE, I THINK YOU'RE GONNA DO SO WELL.

- THANK YOU, SUGE. - DON'T START CRYIN'-- NOW, STOP IT.

I'M NOT.

DON'T YOU START CRYIN', 'CAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE CRYIN'.

YOU'RE THE ONE! - I KNOW, I KNOW.

I KNOW, 'CAUSE TRACI, I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.

I DID SHED A TEAR TODAY BECAUSE IT'S LIKE A REALITY THING.

- AW... - BECAUSE I SAW THE BULLETIN

OF MY NAME AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

- YEAH. - I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD!

"THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING." - YEAH.

AND IT GOT ME NERVOUS ALL OVER AGAIN,

AT FIRST, I WAS LIKE, "OKAY, I'M READY.

"I'M READY TO CONQUER THIS."

- MMM-HMM. - THEN, I WAS LIKE, "OH, SHIZNITS.

"THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN." - YEP.

I'M NERVOUS, BUT I'M SO EXCITED.

GUESS WHAT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

THERE'S NO RULES WITH THIS RADIO SHOW.

I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE I WANNA SAY.

BOOM!

HOW ABOUT THAT?

I'M A SLASH JOURNALIST NOW, YA'LL.

- YOU AIN'T A JOURNALIST. - BOOM!

YOU GOTTA GET PROFESSIONAL.

I DO-- OKAY, OKAY.

YOU GOTTA KEEP DOING YOUR PAPERS LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW, UH, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THESE MESSAGES.

- COME ON, TRINA! - I'M COMING, TOWANDA.

NO, I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.

GOOD, 'CAUSE I-I WASN'T OFFERING ANY.

I DIDN'T NEED ANY HELP, EITHER.

WELL, YOU CAN AT LEAST GET THE DOOR.

OH, I'LL GET THE DOOR.

TOWANDA AND I DECIDE TO HAVE A LITTLE PRE-REHEARSAL

IN ATLANTA BEFORE WE GO AND HAVE THE TRUE TOUR REHEARSAL

WITH TONI-- SHE IS A PERFECTIONIST.

SHE'S GONNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL OF OUR STEPS IN LINE,

AND BEING HER SISTERS, WE REALLY DON'T HAVE LEEWAY.

- TRINA? - HMM?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING-- YOU'RE ON THAT SIDE.

I'M ON THIS SIDE.

IF THAT'S THE AUDIENCE, YOU'RE RIGHT THERE.

IF THAT'S THE AUD-- OH.

GOING ON TOUR IS A LOT OF HARD WORK.

SO, I'M WELCOMING THIS SMALL DISTRACTION,

SO I DON'T HAVE TO CONCENTRATE SO MUCH,

NOT ONLY ON ERIC,

BUT ON MY MARITAL PROBLEMS WITH GABE, AS WELL.

WE SHOULD TURN.

I DON'T WANNA TURN.

STOP BEING-- STOP ACTING LIKE TAMAR, BEING IN YOUR FEELINGS.

IT'S NERVE-WRACKING. - I'M NOT IN MY FEELINGS.

EXCUSE ME, BUT BOSS LADY IS CALLIN'.

HEY, TONE.

HEY, TONE.

WE'RE REHEARSING YOUR STUFF FOR YOUR WONDERFUL TOUR.

I TOLD YOU.

I'M NOT DOING ANY POM-POMS, TONI!

I TOLD YOU.

NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT.

OKAY, NO POM-POMS, TONI.

WE HAVE TO GO-- WE HAVE TO HAVE REHEARSAL.

LOVE YOU-- BYE.

LOVE YOU-- BYE.

- GOOD GRIEF! - GAH!

SHE'S SO BOSSY!

I'M GONNA TELL HER YOU SAID THAT, TOO.

THAT LOOKS DUMB.

I'M NOT GOING-- DOING ALL THAT HARD STUFF.

NO, NO, NO, NO!

YOU'RE WRONG. - YOU'RE WRONG.

YOU'RE WRONG.

TOWANDA!

WE DIDN'T DO THAT--

BUT, LOOK, TAMAR AND I DID IT DIFFERENTLY THAN YOU--

THAT'S NOT HOW ME AND SPARKLE DID IT.

NO, UH, NO, BUT, TAMAR AND I--

OKAY, SHOW ME YOUR TRINA.

OKAY, BUT-BUT IT WAS CHANGED--

- WAIT. - TO MAKE-- TO MAKE IT BETTER.

IT'S TAKE THIS RING.

TAKE THIS RING-- - THAT IS SO WRONG.

THAT IS SO STUPID.

I LIKE THE WAY THAT ME AND SPARKLE DID IT.

TOWANDA AND I ARE ARGUING

ABOUT WHICH ROUTINE IS CORRECT.

HER WAY OR MY WAY?

BUT, THE TRUTH OF IT IS, MY WAY IS RIGHT

BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WITH HER THE LONGEST.

WHEN TOWANDA AND SPARKLE WERE TONI'S BACKGROUND SINGERS,

THEY DECIDED TO MODIFY THE DANCE MOVES.

THAT IS NOT MY FAULT.

I'M DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.

- UNH-- UNH. - LOOKS LIKE IT HURTS BAD.

OH, MY GOSH!

TOWANDA, YOU ARE GONNA THROW YOUR BACK OUT.

OH, MY GOSH-- OH, MY GOSH!

LOOKS LIKE IT HURTS SO BAD.

MINE IS MUCH BETTER THAN TRINA'S.

TRINA'S LOOKED WHACK TO ME.

IT'S LIKE-- IT'S NO SPUNK.

WHO YOU LOOKIN' AT?

TELL THE TRUTH-- TELL THE TRUTH!

UH, SHE LOOK LIKE SHE HURTIN' REAL BAD,

LIKE SHE HURT HERSELF.

LET'S GET THE GUYS-- LET'S GET-- RONNIE!

CAN YOU GET RONNIE AND PEANUT?

TOWANDA CALLED IN RONNIE AND PEANUT,

WHO WERE IN THE RECORDING STUDIO ACROSS THE HALL.

TOWANDA ALWAYS HAS TO PROVE THAT SHE'S RIGHT,

AND SHE CAN CALL IN WHOEVER SHE WANTS TO,

BUT SHE IS WRONG THIS TIME.

- HEY! - WHAT'S UP-- WHAT'S UP?

SO, WHAT'S GOING ON? - HEY.

OKAY, WE HAVE A QUICK QUESTION.

OKAY-- WHAT'S THE QUESTION?

WE'RE GONNA DO THIS SONG,

AND YOU TELL ME WHICH CHOREOGRAPHY

YOU THINK LOOKS THE BEST FOR US TO DO.

DON'T LOOK AT THE FACT THAT TOWANDA LOOKS LIKE

SHE'S ABOUT TO MAKE $20 ON THE POLE,

'CAUSE SHE'S DOING IT, LIKE, REALLY-REALLY HARD.

JUST PUSH THE PLAY!

HUH?

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

WHERE'S TRACI?

SHE CAN'T COME.

- TRACI'S NOT COMING? - TRACI'S NOT COMING.

WHERE'S THE CHOREOGRAPHER?

WHY NOBODY ASK ME?

ONE IS A CHILLED OUT APPROACH.

ONE IS WHAT?

AND ONE IS JUST STRAIGHT GOING IN.

- AND ONE IS GOING ON. - NO.

OKAY, BUT I'M GONNA TELL YA THE DIFFERENCE.

- OKAY. - SING IT!

BUT, WHAT KINDA MICS YA'LL GONNA HAVE, THOUGH?

STAND UP-- STANDING UP.

THEY'RE NOT LAVALIERS.

- NO, THEY'RE NOT. - BUT, YOU ARE STATIONARY.

IF SHE ACT LIKE SHE AT THE STRIP CLUB,

YOU KNOW, AND SHE ALL-- - YOU WANT THIS.

BUT, CAN YOU SING, DOING THAT?

NOT PROPERLY.

- WELL, THEN-- - LINDA IS NOT BIASED.

ARE WE TALKIN' ABOUT THE LOOK OF IT OR THE SOUND OF IT?

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE LOOK, BABY, BECAUSE I ALWAYS GIVE 100%.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BOTH, RIGHT?

NO-- NO-NO.

THIS IS NOT "SO, YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE."

THIS IS "SO, YOU THINK YOU CAN SING."

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

IF ANYTHING HAS TO LACK,

IT HAS TO BE THE CHOREOGRAPHY.

I HAVE TO GO WIT' YOU ON THAT.

THE SOUND IS GONNA BE RIGHT.

RONNIE AND PEANUT REALIZED YOU CAN'T SING AND DANCE

THAT HARD AT THE SAME TIME, NOT LIVE, ANYWAY.

YOU GOTTA COMPROMISE AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE

YOU'RE BOTH ON THE SAME PAGE.

SO, YOU GUYS GET IT TOGETHER.

WORK IT OUT-- WE LOVE YOU AND--

- OH, THAT'S SO WRONG. - THAT'S IT.

AND WE'RE OUT-- YA'LL GO IT.

WHEN I REALIZED THAT THEY WEREN'T REALLY GONNA

SAY ANYTHING AGAINST TRINA'S CHOREOGRAPHY,

I KNEW THAT I WON.

I KNEW THAT THEY LIKED MINE THE MOST.

THEY JUST DIDN'T WANNA HURT TRINA'S FEELINGS.

LET'S GET ON THE SAME PAGE, TOWANDA.

I-I MEAN, I'M GONNA LEARN WHAT YOU GOT,

AND YOU LEARN WHAT I GOT, AND THEN WE GO FROM THERE.

- READY? - YEP.

THIS IS THE FIRST REHEARSAL FOR TONI'S TOUR,

AND WE ONLY HAVE THREE DAYS BEFORE THE TOUR STARTS.

HEY, EVERYBODY. - HEY, TRINA.

TONI IS ALREADY ON EDGE, SO THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE

ON ME FOR MY PART IN THE SHOW TO BE PERFECT.

I WAS THINKING WE COULD, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE LAND

AND REVEAL, WE COULD LAND AND REVEAL, RIGHT HERE.

- OKAY. - RIGHT HERE.

OKAY-- RIGHT HERE.

OKAY.

- HEY, GIRLS. - HEY, TONE.

HELLO.

- YOU LOOK PRETTY. - THANKS.

BOYS, YOU WANNA RUN THROUGH SOME STUFF?

OR, YOU GUYS NEED SOME MORE TIME?

OH, NO, WE WERE JUST WORKING ON THE INTRO AND--

- YEAH, LET ME SEE THEM. - OKAY.

CAN WE RUN IT, GUYS, SO I CAN SEE THE GIRLS?

YEAH, LET'S TRY IT.

I AM GETTING READY TO GO ON TOUR, AND I HAVE TRINA,

AND TOWANDA, AND THE WHOLE BAND TODAY.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE OUR LAST TOUR.

IT'S BEEN ABOUT FIVE YEARS.

AND THIS TOUR, TO ME, MEANS ALMOST EVERYTHING.

BECAUSE I HAVE LUPUS, THE QUESTIONS,

THE WHISPERS, "WELL, CAN SHE TOUR?

"CAN SHE DO IT?

"WHERE IS SHE IN LUPUS?

"I DON'T KNOW IF SHE CAN GO ON.

"CAN SHE SUSTAIN THAT LONG?"

THIS TOUR IS GONNA ELIMINATE ALL THOSE QUESTIONS,

BECAUSE IT'S A LITTLE OVER A MONTH,

AND IT'S FOUR TO FIVE SHOWS A WEEK,

AND THIS IS GONNA SET UP, "HEY, I HAVE LUPUS.

"IT DOESN'T HAVE ME."

TOWANDA?

I WAS-- I WAS GOING TO--

I NEED A LITTLE LESS WALKING LIKE THIS.

- I WALK LIKE WHAT? - GIRL, YOU WALK-- COME ACROSS.

I MEAN, A LITTLE LESS WIGGLE.

- I DO NOT WALK LIKE-- - TOWANDA, WALK.

JUST-- JUST DO IT.

I PROMISE YOU-- I SWEAR.

- I DO NOT WALK LIKE THAT. - STARTIN' TO LOOK LIKE TRINA.

GO DO IT, AGAIN-- DO IT, AGAIN.

- I NOT WALK LIKE-- - JUST WALK REGULAR.

HEEL, TOE, HEEL, TOE, HEEL, TOE.

I DON'T WALK LIKE THAT.

BUT, TRINA WAS OUT OF BREATH.

WASN'T SHE OUT OF BREATH?

WELL, YOU KNOW I GOT A LITTLE BIT CHUNKY.

YOU WAS LIKE--

- WASN'T QUITE THAT BAD. - YES, IT WAS.

DO YOU WANNA GO THROUGH EACH SONG WITHOUT MUSIC?

I WANNA SEE TRINA.

IT IS VERY NERVOUSING FOR ME

TO DO MY SONG IN THE MIDDLE OF HER SET.

PEOPLE ARE GONNA EXPECT ME TO PERFORM AT THE SAME LEVEL

AS TONI BRAXTON, AND THAT IS GONNA BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME

EVERY NIGHT TO TRY TO APPEASE THE TONI BRAXTON AUDIENCE,

ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SOUNDS.

WHERE'S TRACI?

AIN'T TRACI DOIN' YOUR DANCE PARTY?

TRACI SAYS SHE'S-- SHE CAN'T COME.

- TRACI'S NOT COMING? - TRACI'S NOT COMING.

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME?

WHEN I WAS GONNA FIND OUT-- WHEN WE'RE ON THE ROAD?

WELL, NO, WE WERE JUST--

I JUST FOUND-- THINK ABOUT IT.

I'M MISSIN' A BACKGROUND, UH, DO-WOP-POP-POP GIRL.

SO, HOW YOU GONNA DO YOUR DANCE-- YOUR-YOUR PART?

JUST YOU AND TOWANDA-- THAT AIN'T HOT.

I EITHER DO IT BY MYSELF OR I MIGHT HAVE TO BORROW

RECO AND JAMES.

MY ASSISTANT AND THE STYLIST?

- STYLIST-- MM-HMM. - YES.

YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA?

WHO GONNA BE ASSISTIN' ME BACKSTAGE?

I'LL HELP YOU.

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE JUDIES DON'T MEAN THAT YOU ARE JUDIES.

IT DOESN'T-- I'M A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED.

- FOR TONIGHT. - TRACI'S REALLY NOT COMIN'?

- TRACI'S NOT COMING. - WELL, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT.

TRACI'S NOT COMING.

WE NEED TO JUST PULL TWO DANCERS FOR HER.

- THAT AIN'T IN THE BUDGET. - THAT'S NOT IN THE BUDGET.

- IT'S NOT IN THE BUDGET. - THAT'S NOT IN MY BUDGET.

AIN'T NOBODY GONNA BE PARTYIN' WIT' YOU.

IT'S OKAY.

I KNOW HOW TO PARTY BY MYSELF.

I JUST FOUND OUT A FEW DAYS AGO THAT I AM PERFORMING,

AND I HAVEN'T GOTTEN A SOLID ANSWER FROM TRACI

IF SHE CAN DROP EVERYTHING TO JOIN THE TOUR.

I THINK I CAN DO MY SONG BY MYSELF,

BUT NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE FAITH IN ME.

FOR HER.

I DEFINITELY DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD BE ONSTAGE BY YOURSELF.

SEE-- THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY.

IT'S A-- IT'S A PARTY SONG.

RIGHT.

AND IT'S SO CUTE WHEN YOU GUYS ARE BOTH BEHIND HER,

HAVIN' FUN. - MMM-HMM.

I MIGHT HAVE TO GO UP THERE AND DO IT WIT' YOU.

WELL, TONI'S NOT GONNA BE MY DO-WOP-POP-POP GIRL.

I'M JUST TELLING YOU THAT, RIGHT NOW. - YOU'RE NOT GONNA DO THAT.

WELL, 'CAUSE YOU NEED A BREAK-- YOU HAVE TO CHANGE, RIGHT?

YEAH, YOU-YOU NEED A BREAK, AND YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES.

I THINK I COULD BE TRINA'S BACKGROUND GIRL.

I WOULD WEAR A WIG OR

I WOULD PUT ON HIGHER SHOES, SOMETHING.

I DON'T THINK PEOPLE WOULD KNOW.

BUT, IN THE END, I DON'T CARE IF THEY DID KNOW

BECAUSE WE'RE SISTERS, AND SOMETIMES, FAMILY HELP FAMILY.

IT'S WHAT WE DO.

- OHHH. - CAN I GET MY MIC? - THIS IS HILARIOUS.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO-- I'M GONNA HAVE TO WEAR HEELS.

TONI?

TONE, YOU WON'T EVEN KNOW THE-THE MOVES.

I-I MIGHT HAVE TO DO IT.

I MIGHT HAVE TO BE OUT THERE.

IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER SITUATION WHEN TRACI

DIDN'T-DIDN'T KNOW THE MOVES.

OKAY, WHERE DO WE START?

I WANTED TO TELL HER, "SIT YOUR HAPPY BUTT DOWN.

"YOU ARE NOT DOING THIS."

- TONI BRAXTON, NO WAY. - NOPE.

YOU LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE DOING THE MARCHING BAND.

IMAGINE IF I KNEW IT.

- NO. - YES YOU DID.

I WOULD BE A GOOD DO-WOP-POP-POP CHICK,

IF I KNEW THE CHOREOGRAPHY.

I MEAN, I HAVE RHYTHM.

BUT, IT'S THE LAST MINUTE.

I DIDN'T KNOW IT AS WELL AS I THOUGHT I KNEW IT, SO--

I LIKE THIS PART.

ONE, TWO, THREE O'CLOCK, FOUR...

EVEN THOUGH THAT'S NOT THE MOVE.

TONI, YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR.

YOU ARE MY SISTER.

I LOVE YOU... BUT, NO, THANK YOU.

I CAN'T HAVE YOU AS MY BACKGROUND DANCER.

I AM PRAYING THAT TRACI WILL PULL THROUGH

ON THE LAST MINUTE.

TRACI, I NEED YOU.

PLEASE COME-- PLEASE?

IT'S A GOOD SONG.

GETS PEOPLE EXCITED.

I FEEL, IF I KNEW THE CHOREOGRAPHY, JUST IN CASE--

HMM...

YEAH, I'M GONNA SAY, "NO."

THIS IS MY GLAM BAG.

OKAY.

YOU DON'T NEED MUCH GLAM, 'CAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY THERE.

IT'S FINALLY HERE, MY DEBUT

INTERNET RADIO SHOW ON BLIS.FM, HONEY.

YES!

I'M GETTING MY MAKEUP DONE BECAUSE THE SHOW

IS STREAMING LIVE,

AND WE ALL KNOW TRACI'S GOTTA LOOK GOOD.

I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE MY HUSBAND, KEVIN,

AND MY BROTHER, MIKEY, TO BE HERE AND SUPPORT ME.

BUT, I AM STILL LOOKING FOR TRINA, TOWANDA, AND MOM.

YOU GUYS ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

WHERE ARE YOU?

I THANK YA'LL FOR SO MUCH, FOR SUPPORTING ME.

IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GROW UP AND SAY, YOU KNOW,

YOU HAVE TO STAND ON YOUR TWO FEET

AND I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY BEING BEHIND ME

AND SUPPORTING ME.

AND-AND I KNOW YA'LL DON'T HAVE TO DO IT,

BUT I KNOW YA'LL DO IT OUT OF LOVE.

I THANK YA'LL SO MUCH-- I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH.

THANK YOU-- THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT WAS, LIKE, SO MANY FEELINGS JUST OVERWHELMING

AND ALL AT ONCE,

AND I CRIED LIKE A BITCH.

I DID.

- WHEW. - YOU WERE BORN TO DO THIS.

OKAY... WAIT A MINUTE.

WHEN YOU'RE SCREWIN' YOUR BOSS,

YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

WAIT A MINUTE.

WHEW... OKAY.

WE ARE BORN TODAY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I KNOW, THEY JUST-- THEY JUST CUT THE CORD.

OH, "WAA!"

I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THAT.

I CAN'T-- OH, MY GOD!

SHE HAD A NUMBER.

THE CALLING NUMBER IS RIGHT THERE ON THE DAMN PAPER

IN FRONT OF ME.

I-- WHY I GOTTA BE SO NERVOUS?

WE DO HAVE A CALL, EVERYBODY.

WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL CALLER ON THE LINE.

- YES. - CALLER?

CALLER, YOU'RE ON THE AIR.

- HI, TRACI BRAXTON! - HI!

I'M SO EXCITED TO BE CALLING INTO YOUR VERY OWN SHOW.

YES-- THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU-- HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?

I'M DOING EXCELLENT.

I JUST REALLY WANNA ASK YOU A VERY SERIOUS QUESTION.

OKAY-- WHAT'S THE QUESTION?

DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS?

GIRL, NO-- THIS IS TAMAR.

YOU BETTER GET YOUR LIFE.

AH, TAMAR!

HI, TAMAR! - HEY, TAMAR.

SHE'S TALKIN' LIKE SHE WAS WHITE OR SOMETHING.

LIKE, "HI, TRACI."

AND THEN, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHO SHE WAS.

SHE WENT, "UH-UH, GIRL.

"YOU BETTER KNOW WHO THIS IS."

THEN, I KNEW EXACTLY WHO IT WAS.

AND JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH OF A MOTHER I AM--

- AW. - THAT IS TOO FUNNY.

WHEN I CAME UP TO THE RAMP, BEFORE I CAME INTO THE STUDIO,

TONI, I WAS ABOUT TO CRY BECAUSE IT WAS LIKE

IT FINALLY HIT ME.

IT WAS ALMOST LIKE-- DON'T YOU KNOW WHEN YOU SAID

WHEN YOU FIRST GOT YOUR GRAMMY,

AND YOU WALKED ACROSS THE STAGE TO GET YOUR-YOUR AWARD

AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT?

- MMM-HMM. - AND YOU WAS--

EVERYTHING JUST CAME TO YOU?

I HAD THAT FEELING-- OH, MY GOD!

YEAH, IT WAS KINDA SURREAL-- BUT, I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU.

WHO'S THERE?

I HEAR TOWANDA.

DID I HEAR TRINA AND MOMMY?

NO, I DIDN'T HEAR FROM THEM YET, BUT I HEARD FROM TAMAR.

OH, THEY'RE NOT THERE.

OKAY.

I JUST WANTED TO CALL, TRACI-- I LOVE YOU.

AND DO YOUR THING AND CALL ME LATER TONIGHT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TU-- UH, TUNING IN TO

"THE TRACI BRAXTON SHOW" AND SUPPORTING ME.

- THANK YOU. - THANK YOU SO MUCH.

- YOU'RE WELCOME. - TELL A FRIEND.

A WHOLE LOT OF FRIENDS, EVERYBODY--

MAKE SURE YA'LL TWEET ABOUT IT.

I MADE IT THROUGH THE LIVE SHOW, BUT NOW,

THERE'S A PODCAST TAPING IN FRONT OF A LIVE AUDIENCE.

THANKFULLY, IT'S RIGHT DOWN THE HALL.

SO, I JUST HAVE TO GO AND CHANGE AND TAKE A BREATH.

WHEW.

I'VE BEEN TOLD MY SISTERS AND MOMMY

ARE ARRIVING, RIGHT NOW, NOT ONE BUT TWO HOURS LATE.

THEY TOTALLY MISSED THE WHOLE SHOW.

I AM A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED IN THAT.

AT LEAST, THEY ARRIVE IN TIME FOR OUR PODCAST TAPING,

AND THEY CAN BE MY VERY FIRST INTERVIEW.

HEY, BABY!

HEY, TRINA.

HI, TOWANDA.

WE ARE A LITTLE LATE FOR TRACI'S RADIO SHOW

BECAUSE WE HAD REHEARSAL FOR TONI'S TOUR.

HI, MOMMY-- HEY, MOMMY.

BUT, WE HOPPED ON A PLANE AND FLEW TO D.C.,

SO THAT WE CAN BE THERE FOR TRACI.

WE'RE A LITTLE LATE, BUT WE'RE THERE.

THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY FAMILY-- HERE'S MY MOMMY,

TOWANDA, AND TRINA.

AND I'M SO, SO, SO PROUD OF TRACI.

I SAW THE GLEAM THAT WAS IN HER FACE.

MY GOD, THAT WAS THE HAPPIEST DAY FOR ME,

JUST LOOKING AT TRACI AND SEEING THE JOY,

AND HER SPIRIT WAS SO WONDERFUL,

AND I AM SO PROUD OF HER-- YOU GO, GIRL.

YA'LL MISSED IT EARLIER.

I'M NOT CRYING ANYMORE.

YOU CRIED?

AND THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I GOT HOT, A I FELT FAINT.

MY UNDERARMS WAS SWEATIN'.

EVERYTHING WAS SWEATIN'.

I WAS DOIN' THIS. - YOU DON'T STINK.

- IF I HAD A FAN, I-- - WELL, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

TRACI, DO YOU HAVE TO SIT LIKE THAT?

OH, MY GOD!

- IF I HAD A FAN-- - TRACI, CLOSE YOUR LEGS!

BUT, IF I HAD A FAN, I WOULD'VE HAD THE FAN

LIKE THIS AND JUST-- - TRACI!

I EVEN HAD SWEAT MARKS ON MY BOOTY.

I WAS-- I WAS SWEATING THAT MUCH.

IT-IT WAS CRAZY-- PROFUSELY.

IT JUST-- I HAD MOUNTAIN DEW ALL OVER THE PLACE.

BOTH OF OUR SISTERS CALLED, BOTH TAMAR--

TAMAR, OF COURSE,

TAMAR SAID SHE CAN'T MAKE IT

'CAUSE SHE CAN'T GET A BABYSITTER.

GIRL! - DO YOU KNOW WHAT?

UH-UH-- UH-UH! - I'M HERE.

- NO, TAMAR BRAXTON-- - GIRL!

- NO, SHE DIDN'T! - HEY, TOWANDA.

CAN I PUT MY HAND UP ON THAT?

- NO, SHE DIDN'T SAY THAT! - RIGHT.

WHERE'S THE BABY DADDY AT? - THAT'S WHAT SHE TOLD ME.

WHY THE BABY DADDY AIN'T WATCHING THE BABY?

THAT'S WHAT SHE TOLD ME-- WHERE HIS DADDY?

I MEAN, IT'S JUST LIKE I'M REALIZING, LIKE,

THIS MOMENT IS HERE, LIKE, FOR REAL- FOR REAL.

IT'S HITTING ME FOR THE FIRST TIME.

NO, NO, NO, NO-- NO, YOU GOT IT.

- YOU'RE MY MANAGER. - YOU GOT IT-- NAH!

YOU CAN'T TELL HIM-- YOU CAN'T TELL

THE CHOREOGRAPHER NOT TO BE HERE.

- BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT-- - HE'S SHOWING THE MOVES.

- THAT WAS NOT THE MOVES. - AND YOU BE LIKE,

"OH, NO, SHE DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE SNAPS."

AW, POOR THING.

- TRINA! - OKAY, SO, TRINA

AND TRACI ARE EXILED FROM MY HOUSE.

I PROMISE, TONI.

THE WAY THAT I DO IT LOOKED BETTER.

- NO, IT DOESN'T. - IT REALLY DOES.

TOWANDA LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS ABOUT TO HURT HER BACK.

I PROMISE.

TONI, TELL THE TRUTH--

DON'T PEOPLE TELL YOU THAT THEY BE LOOKIN' AT ME

WHEN I BE PERFORMING BEHIND YOU?

I TOLD YOU!

BUT, NO-NO-NO-- NO-NO-NO.

THAT'S NOT A POSITIVE THING.

- THAT IS A POSITIVE THING. - THAT'S-THAT'S JUST--

JUST 'CAUSE YOU DANCIN' REAL HARD, DOESN'T MEAN RIGHT.

NO, NO, NO-- TONI-- TONI.

TOWANDA, HARD DOESN'T MEAN RIGHT,

LIKE LOUD DOESN'T MEAN RIGHT.

- SHH... SHH. - SISTER.

BUT, DIDN'T BILLY SAY THAT WHEN HE SAW ME DANCIN',

IT MADE HIM WANNA BE A BACKGROUND SINGER?

- YEAH. - BROWN NOSE.

JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE LOUD DOESN'T MAKE YOU RIGHT.

LET'S GO. - I'M NOT LOUD-- I'M JUST RIGHT.

LET'S REHEARSE.

OH, IT LOOKS AMAZING.

OH, IT JUST GOT REAL-REAL, JUST NOW.

I HAVE TO INSTAGRAM THAT.

THAT'S CRAZY.

- YES. - YEAH.

I AIN'T LAYIN' DOWN ON THAT.

YEAH.

I'M CAREFUL ABOUT WHERE I LAY, HONEY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

GIVE IT HERE-- GIVE IT HERE.

THIS IS AMAZING, RIGHT?

ISN'T IT-- IT'S SO CRAZY, LIKE...

OH, MY GOD!

SO, EVERY NIGHT, THIS WILL BE UP.

YOU'LL COME OUT ON-- YOU KNOW?

IT-IT'S-- IT IS HILARIOUS, RIGHT?

THAT'S CRAZY!

IT'S-IT'S LIKE, NEW ARTISTS DON'T GET STUFF LIKE THAT.

THEY GET A BLACK CURTAIN.

MARTY, YOU SICK FOR REAL?

I CAN'T EVEN BRING MY BABY WITH ME UNTIL, LIKE, TUESDAY.

- WHAT IS IT? - YOU PROBABLY GOT A BUG.

IT'S A BUG.

YOU KNOW, I AIN'T REALLY BEEN FEELING GOOD.

SO, I WENT TO THE DOCTOR'S, AND ON TOP OF EVERYTHING

GOING ON WITH MY VOCAL CORDS, I'M SICK AS HELL, TOO.

IT'S JUST NO TIME TO BE SICK.

SO, WE'RE GONNA START WITH "WHERE IT HURTS."

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME TO BE LAYING UP IN NO BED

WHEN THERE'S A TOUR AND A COINT TO BE MADE, OKAY?

NO.

WELL, LET ME ASK A QUESTION.

WHERE'S THE CHOREOGRAPHER?

VINCE SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE TO COME.

VINCE SAID-- I ASKED VINCE LAST NIGHT.

FLY-- 'CAUSE HE FLIES, WHAT TIME TO BE HERE,

AND VINCE SAID, "NO, WE'RE GOOD."

VINCE PUT TOGETHER RECORDS...

AND BOOK DATES.

HE DON'T DO THIS PART.

WHY NOBODY ASK ME?

YA'LL FEEL LIKE YA'LL GOT YOUR TWO STEPS?

'CAUSE I KNOW I AIN'T GOT MINE.

BABY, WHY YOU CANCEL THE CHOREOGRAPHER TODAY?

WE AIN'T GOT NO CHOREOGRA...

YOU CAN SNAP, IF YOU WANNA SNAP.

YOU JUST GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF.

JUST FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF.

VINCE, YOU CANNOT BE THE MANAGER, THE BABY DADDY--

HE DEFINITELY IS, ALL-ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

THE A&R, THE BOOKER, THE AGENT--

- THAT'S WHAT HE DOES. - THE CHOREOGRAPHER.

- ALL OF 'EM. - YOU CANNOT DO ALL OF THAT.

THE CATERER-- HE'S THE CATERER.

- I CAN'T? - NO, YOU CANNOT.

- OKAY, ALL RIGHT. - THE CATERER, RIGHT.

YOU'LL GET IT-- YOU'LL GET IT ONE DAY.

HE CAN DO IT-- HE'LL DO IT.

YOU CANNOT BE-- YOU CAN'T.

OKAY-- SO, I'M GONNA GO LEAVE AND CALL ME WHEN YOU NEED ME.

- NO-NO. - NO, YOU STILL NEED TO BE HERE.

NO-NO-NO-NO-- NO, YOU GOT IT.

- YOU'RE STILL MY MANAGER. - YOU GOT IT-- NAH!

YOU CAN'T TELL HIM--

YOU CAN'T TELL THE CHOREOGRAPHER NOT TO BE HERE--

HE'S SHOWING ME THE MOVES. - THAT WAS NOT THE MOVES.

AND YOU WERE LIKE, "OH, NO, SHE DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE SNAPS."

THAT WASN'T A MOVE THE OTHER DAY.

THAT WAS THE MOVE, VINCE?

OKAY, COOL-- ALL RIGHT-- I'M SITTIN' HERE WATCHIN'.

TAKE IT, NISSAN!

I'M GLAD YOU DECIDED TO SIT.

SHE KNOWS SO MUCH, TERRELL-- OH, YOU'RE ALWAYS SITTIN'.

I JUST NEVER HEARD OF THE CHOREOGRAPHER

NOT BEIN' PRESENT WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO ON TOUR.

TAMAR, YOU DON'T HAVE THAT IN YOUR BUDGET

FOR THE CHOREOGRAPHER TODAY.

YOU JUST GOT A NICE BIG, UH, DROP BEHIND YOUR SHOW.

LET'S TAKE IT FROM THE TOP, NISSAN!

NO, WE'RE GONNA TAKE IT FROM THE SAME SPOT.

- HERE WE GO. - THE TOP OF THAT SONG.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

WHERE'S TOWANDA TODAY?

SHE WASN'T TRYIN' TO COME TO MY REHEARSAL?

I DON'T KNOW-- I DIDN'T ASK.

I DIDN'T GET INTO IT.

NO-- SHE JUST DECIDED NOT TO COME.

WE DON'T KNOW.

YOU HAVE TO ASK WANDA-- I DON'T KNOW.

TRINA, I'M JUST SO MAD THAT YOU HAVE YOUR BOOK BAG ON.

WELL, I DON'T USUALLY DRESS LIKE THIS.

I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

I-I'M-I'M IN WORK MODE-- I-I CAN'T.

I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT.

SO, I FLEW TO L.A.

FOR A QUICK VISIT BEFORE TOWANDA AND TRINA

GO ON TOUR WITH TONI.

THEY'VE BEEN PRESSURING ME TO GO WITH THEM,

BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN TAKE A BREAK

FROM MY RADIO SHOW.

- KNOCKY-KNOCKY. - HELLO. - HI.

- HEY-- SHE'S HERE. - HI.

BACK-BACK-BACK- BACK-BACK-BACK.

DON'T TOUCH ME.

WHY CAN'T I TOUCH YOU?

'CAUSE THE DOCTOR TOLD ME DON'T-DON'T KISS OR HUG

ANYBODY I LOVE AND TRUST.

WHAT?

I HAVE SOME TYPE OF BACTERIA.

OH, GIVE IT TO ME-- I'LL LOSE TEN POUNDS.

- TRINA. - I WANNA LOSE 15.

THE DOCTOR SAID, "DON'T KISS OR HUG ANYBODY YOU LOVE."

WELL, RIGHT NOW, I DON'T LOVE YOU, RIGHT NOW.

THEN, BABY, IF YOU'RE ALL OVER ME,

YOU CAN'T BE AROUND MY CHILD.

- WHOO! - OKAY-- NOW, YOU CAN'T BE AROUND LOGAN.

GETTING SICK IS THE BEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT.

THE POUNDS JUST MELT AWAY.

AND TAMAR SHOULD JUST HELP ME OUT JUST A LITTLE BIT

AND COUGH ON ME, JUST FOR A SECOND.

I AIN'T COUGHIN' ON NOBODY.

IT'S GROSS.

AND PLUS, I AIN'T LOSIN' NO WEIGHT.

SO, I'M GONNA TELL YOU, RIGHT NOW.

IF I COUGH ON YOU, THAT'S NOT THE ONE

TO MAKE YOU SKINNY, OKAY?

- WHERE'S TOWANDA? - I DON'T KNOW.

BUT, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR BRONCHITIS.

OH, COME ON, TAMAR.

TRACI, YOU'RE TRYING TO GET SICK.

COME HERE, MY BABY SISTER.

AW, COME HERE.

I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER.

AW, MY BABY SISTER.

AW.

- AW, POOR BABY. - TRINA!

OKAY-- SO, TRINA AND TRACI ARE EXILED FROM MY HOUSE,

'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET MY BABY SICK.

HE'S NOT GONNA GET SICK.

I'M NOT SICK.

ME, EITHER.

BUT, YOU'RE ALL IN MY ZHOOSH.

- UH-UH. - YA'LL GOTTA STOP.

MY CRAZY ASS SISTERS JUST ACTIN' LIKE A FOOL.

I'M SICK AS HELL.

DON'T FEEL LIKE BEIN' HERE.

BUT, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

SHE'S A PRO-- WATCH THIS.

I FEEL GREAT TO SEE MY LITTLE SISTER DOING WELL.

SHE'S ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE HER DREAM TO SING SOLO

AND, YOU KNOW, JUST DO HER OWN THING, AND SHE'S DOIN' IT.

WHERE TOWANDA TODAY?

I DON'T KNOW.

YA AIN'T TALKED TO HER TODAY?

- YEAH, I TALKED TO HER TODAY. - I SEEN HER.

SO, SHE WASN'T TRYIN' TO COME TO MY REHEARSAL?

I DON'T KNOW-- I DIDN'T ASK.

I DIDN'T GET INTO IT. - NO.

I WAS BUSY COMING TO SEE YOU.

- I HAD NO-- - SO, SHE DIDN'T SAY NOTHIN'.

DIDN'T NOBODY ASK, "ARE YOU-

ARE YOU COMING TO TAMAR'S REHEARSAL?"

I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING.

ONLY THING I SAW HER, 'CAUSE SHE-- - THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYIN'.

NOBODY ASKED HER-- WAS SHE COMIN' OR NOT?

- SHE WAS COMIN'. - SHE SAID SHE WAS-- RELAX.

SHE WAS GETTING HERSELF TOGETHER.

SO, SHE JUST DECIDED NOT TO COME.

- I DON'T KNOW. - WE DON'T KNOW.

YOU HAVE TO ASK WANDA-- I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, WE DROVE-- WE DROVE SEPARATE CARS.

- NO. - SHE GOT IN THE CAR.

- IN WHOSE CAR? - HER CAR.

IN HER CAR, AND WE GOT INTO OUR CAR.

WE LEFT.

SO, YA'LL THOUGHT SHE WAS COMING HERE?

- YEAH. - YEAH.

WELL, AIN'T YA'LL WORRIED, THEN?

ESPECIALLY IF SHE GOT IN HER CAR,

AND YA'LL GOT IN YOUR CAR, AND SHE DIDN'T MAKE IT HERE.

WOULDN'T THAT WORRY YOU?

NO-- IT WOULDN'T WORRY ME.

CLEARLY, THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM IS THE TENSION

BETWEEN TOWANDA AND TAMAR.

WE'RE NOT SURE WHY, BUT NONE OF US

WANNA GET IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT-- NO, SIR.

TEXT ME AND SAY YOU'RE NOT COMIN' TO MY REHEARSAL.

TONI TOLD ME YESTERDAY SHE COULDN'T COME.

"TAMAR, I WOULD COME TO YOUR REHEARSAL,

"IF I DIDN'T HAVE A SESSION."

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING-- TEXT ME.

I HEAR YOU, BUT I CAN'T MAKE EVERYBODY'S ISSUES MINE.

I KNOW I CAN'T MAKE EVERYBODY'S ISSUE MINE.

I'M NOT MAD THAT TOWANDA DIDN'T LET ME KNOW.

I'M JUST SAD THAT TOWANDA JUST DON'T...

SHOW UP TO MY STUFF.

YOU READY, VINCE?

MY THROAT IS SO DRY.
