You know, we have to, as women, take the time to take care of ourselves and go get our exams and not just put it off because there's so much going on all the time and you want to take care of everybody else.
It's the truth.
Right. And me, you know, I was in the Hamptons. I was just having a good time. And I say that because I was there, and I was like, I'm just going to stay another few weeks. And then something just hit me one day that, Tina, you better go back and get that. that biopsy, you are being very irresponsible right now.
So I went home, you know, I went home, I think, two days later, and my kids were like, stay, don't go back. And, you know, I went, and thank God I went, because I would have came back and got busy, and then it would have been another year, and that's what happens to us. So please, please do that.
I think, you know, it's funny because I said, people approached me about a book before. And even when they approached me this time, which was different, I kept saying, I'm not telling y'all my kids' business. So if that's why they want to do a book deal, then I don't want to do it because I'm not going to share other people's stories. I'm not going to tell their business.
But just the fact that I didn't feel like my story was worthy or that anybody wanted to hear about my story is crazy. And I had to, you know, go in. And when I first talked to them, I was like, I'll do a book on behind the scene things that happened, but I'm not going to do a memoir. And, you know, Kevin O'Leary is somewhere in the audience too, and I would love for him to stand up.
He is my collaborator. And you know, when you write a book, your collaborator is so important, because he's the person that went and found all this history on Weeks Island and Galveston. And he taught me some things, and he fact-checked things. Because in your brain, I'm like, oh, when I was 19, so and so. And he's like, no, that didn't happen then. But really. Because he's fact-checking.
And then you argue with him, like, no, I don't know. But in talking to him at first, he was the one that encouraged me to just be more open. He's like, Ms. Tina, people would love to hear about that. And I was like, you think so? And he's like, yes. And we, you know, this book was 1,000 pages. We had to take 500 pages out. Can you imagine? So, so many more stories. And... Part two.
But yeah, so I didn't even think that people would want to hear. I was like, they're just going to want to hear about my kids. But it's so much of the book that you go through before you even hear about my kids.
Okay.
Oh, God, it's too many to... I mean, I have so many style icons back from the 40s. You know, just, I don't know, Diana Ross. Well, I think that's a good one. Yeah, yeah. I don't know, like... Okay.
Good music. Oh.
You know, my favorite song is For the Love of You by the Isley's.
That's just the best.
Just soul food, some good old cabbage and mac and cheese and greens, yeah. You know, this is like true.
Do you even have time to watch TV these days? Not a lot. I have to be honest. I haven't watched it a lot. But I love Sisters. Oh, yeah. I love Sisters because it is just, it's some real stuff on there. Tyler just gets it, you know? Tyler tends to do that. He does that.
And you know, people can talk all that stuff, but I'm like, I know somebody just like every one of those girls.
No. Listen, you have to give up your black card if you haven't seen Cooley High. If you haven't seen Cooley High. Hand it over, put it on the stage.
Oh, God, a green flag. I think just someone being... for me, being a gentleman. Yeah.
Is I am really feeling myself right now. Woo! Woo! Feeling myself, feeling myself.
