Speaker 1: Hey, mixologists, Mani here, thanks so much for listening this year to the Mix with Money. This week we have a really fun, overly shady, overly catholic, giggly time with Kaiya coming up from Bravo. We're black going through all the highlights of the year and pop culture and TV. Don't want to give away too much, but we app for so damn long that we have two parts coming out. So first part on the Mix with Money is today and the next part will come out tomorrow, also with Kaiya and still going through the highlights of the year.
Speaker 1: We just couldn't short change anything. Couple detours, a couple U turns, a couple pullovers, to read some men and women for filth as they deserved so rightfully. Hope you enjoy happy holidays and happy New Year. Thanks so much for listening, and tomorrow part two sounds oh my god, a moment of silence, just kidding. It's me, Hello, Hello, Hello, beautiful wonderful mixologists out there. It's your girl, Moni, and we are taking this year's as into the ether, so of course to break it all down. Help me remember, because y'all know I got adhd out that ass and spoke a lot of wheat, so memory not it.
Speaker 1: So I got the pop culture diva, the queen of the zeitgeist if he wasn't already in a committed relationship, literally missus Jake from State Farm herself. I have Kayah here from Bravo. We're black, she's black. We're still black. Long blast side check. And so we are going to get through and send this year when it's merry little way. And I could not be more grateful and thankful to have you here to walk me through all of these things that happen this year that I already know in advance. I don't remember them now, but I'm gonna remember them soon, and it's gonna be wild and we're gonna have a time.
Speaker 1: And I'm so glad you're here. How are you doing?
Speaker 2: So happy to be here? I mean, I hope you have a list, because I definitely I only everything from maybe October. I think, okay, it starts with Wendy getting arrested. I think that's bitch.
Speaker 1: Went in, and then.
Speaker 2: Bravo con and then that's pretty much my year.
Speaker 1: I got you. We have so much that has happened, naturally, we cannot get through all of this, so I have compiled a list of things that are TV related TV adjacent of the pop cultures here, primarily a lot of things Bravo related, because our worlds have collided and coincided do to Bravo. We're brought Bravo Hello, we love we love you, and we're black. So you went to Bravo Con by far best and maybe only black representation on normal carpets. You know who was there?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, two others And it was such a pleasure to meet justin Diego because before even you know, like before there was a me or even like the podcast thing, I used to watch the binge Worthy YouTube and that was just eight down and you know, Brooke Ashley was there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out. We loved Brooke Ashley. She's a bit, she's a adult. Gorgeous there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a few of us chat a few, not enough, but a few, and we love to see it and we loved to see you there. So naturally I had because you were a correspondent there, I had to have you come because some of the biggest moments, even from the Bravo sphere, happened at Bravo Con were precursors to bravocn or spawned from Bravocon, Right, so someone who was there, who was able to be in on all the actions, I knew what's going to be, and y'all, I just wanted it to be kind about that. Outside of Bravo. One of my favorite things that I forgot happened this year looking through listening to all the different pop culture zeitkeist things, podcasts, watching specials, I forgot how much happened, Like what year we're in?
Speaker 1: Blew my mind? How much we've lived through? Blew my mind?
Speaker 2: Is this still the year that Sizza and Kiki Palmer's movie came out? Or are we in a new year?
Speaker 1: That's such a good question.
Speaker 2: I want to because I feel like, if this is the same year, this is the longest year, there's.
Speaker 1: No way it was that it could not. It could not was this year. I know that probably not the same year.
Speaker 2: Right, Thank God?
Speaker 1: I can't be right, Yes I can't. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go on faith, I'm looking it up and I'm prepared to like literally fall apart if that's not the case. So please the love of God, we cannot be because it also means I lived through some personal shit that I really was not. I cannot believe it's still this.
Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. Was it really January?
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. This is an audio medium, I will not be taking that out, but I am sorry I did that to y'all.
Speaker 2: This is the longest hellish like what that felt like?
Speaker 1: It came out two years ago, easy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty twenty three, and it just came out right
Speaker 2: on their list, and I'm like, there's no way that was this year. And that's why I know I can't trust my own memory.
Speaker 1: No, I genuinely cannot, like not at all. I can't believe that. And y'all I'm by passing some of the major things from our own mental health. That's why we're sticking to the TV pop cultures. Like, guys, we know the year has been long, and we know why the year has been long. Well, we are not confused. We're two black Garlies. We are very aware of why the year has felt like it is never ending and that it hasn't been twelve months or eleven months in like thirty days, but it actually feels like it's been maybe somewhere around three years and eleven months, which we're in the first one.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just thought i'd make sure they need periodic reminders that it's not year four, because it feels like we've been in the thick of it and the think of it for a minute now. But we're gonna try to bypass that and look to the bright side of the ways that we've coped, which is genuinely just binging things, watching stuff, staying on bandwagons, and coming together as a threads in Instagram community.
Speaker 2: Exactly, especially threads for me, Like, this was a great year for me on Threads because I got to connect with so many of not only like creators like you, which we text in the Instagram, but threads. It feels like our x and so many people came over to Threads and I'm like that, God.
Speaker 1: Me, I've had a thread since it launched. This is the year I actually used it. You guys were on there, You and Kendrick and Cel was like making all the I was posting every single thing that she would say, exactly, especially when she would like love Island. She listened to all the things. That's actually where I wanted to start off, because I forgot the Love Island was this fucking year. I thought Nicolandria had been together forever. No, girl, they were together for like a second. My my, mommy, mama, Sita was this year Love Island, the Jeremiah and the hood of of it all.
Speaker 1: To see the Nicolandria, the Nick versus Clark and Taylor, versus Landria versus Shelley and Ace. Oh god, Acey and Ace who broke up same year? Isn't that crazy? I was so sad as if that was a relationship that they have. Who are minute? Okay, I'm serious. I genuinely was like, well, I'm not really sad for them, because I actually never thought they should have been together. But I was like, oh no, they really broke up. Oh, oh my god.
Speaker 2: One thing about them tables they always turn. Ace was talking that cash money ship, about Nicolandria Christmas together, fake.
Speaker 1: Louis Laton fake or not that Louis wasn't I wish my non fake? Those that neither.
Speaker 2: Those ads, those ads that they are on, nothing about that.
Speaker 1: That hair of his not fake. The way they look in a picture together not fake. Faith, whether they like each other or not. The chemistry they put together, that that Ny ex sellout not fake, not fake. I'm still mad. About it. I'm still mad about it. I tried multiple times.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, wait a minute, wait a minute, what do you mean please? I think whether they're in love or not, I don't typically get Louis Vauton's or very lavish gifts from boys that aren't in love with me. So if that's really what vibes, she's on the shout out to her for having a non committed situation and getting great gifts a good man and a family that loves her, which they're obviously in love because she spent Christmas like they are doing life together and.
Speaker 2: It's Christmas together, when Amanda and Kyle did not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at this point, it seems like Kyle might have been that's a number two. Kyle might have spent more time with one of his fans, not because it was cheating, just because apparently he don't like his wife. He just don't want to hang out with her, even at home. Crazy And I mean, but do you not remember watching Summer House when they were getting married, knowing in real time that they were already but they had been married by the time it had aired, and watching the cringe because I actually remember the cringe being quite palpable.
Speaker 2: Then Yeah, Paige and crag like it was just it was just like we're watching a car crash happened, and she knows, and she knows who she married to. That's the thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, she had to have she had to have listen. Okay, in the vein of Bravo breakups, I'm gonna actually just move this one right on up here. I'm gonna list off some breakups that we may or may not remember or burning to talk about. You tell me whatever pops out to mom but comes to frame if anything sticks out at you. We have quite a few this year. Okay, this year that I even could remember. We found out this year. One you mentioned Paige and Craig they broke up this year, Not because I did it, because yes, it was Wait are we sure?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Because I remember the memory because Summerhouse came on. Yeah, it couldn't have been this year, because Summerhouse came on this year.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're right. It was late twenty twenty four. It was Thanksgiving, so of last year and this year was a lot of the fallout.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were talking about each other that she would never be able to find anyone better. Meanwhile, is crashing out, and not only has she found another dude a few years later, because the Naomi which really set him off is engaged.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember as soon as I saw this. Naturally, anything I see Nators Incorporated is going to be I'm sending immediately to k like, I'm like, hey, did you know that there are still people are watching? They're into it. I thought the Nators and the Cecimmor wives might end up filming together. Girl, We're going to get some Southern charm conversation, because one thing I know about that girl, Brooksy, She's going this is going to make it to the show. I did a poll on my Instagram stories of like, do you think she's gonna talk about the fact that her ex husband is getting married?
Speaker 1: Whether or not she mentions who too, It's gonna impect her, of course, that he's just getting married at all.
Speaker 2: To God that she stands on what she said don't watch What Happens Live when she was like, I don't know who Craig is, because I would hate for her to circle the block and be like, maybe I do know who Craig is.
Speaker 1: No, you don't know who Craig is, But that would.
Speaker 2: Be such a downgrade, bitch. You have Tom Brady and two tennis players.
Speaker 1: In the same weekend, like please, please, Globo throw your supermodel. We didn't see it for please Page and Craig. That was the whole point is that Page could absolutely do better and they only could too, and that's why she did. And so there's she goes, she's off, she's successful, and she's doing her thing in the other realm of Bravo break up. We also had we found out that Julia is a hub from house Offs of Miami.
Speaker 2: Didn't know that, Yep, that was definitely this year. Child did not.
Speaker 1: Have found out that she was all this year with.
Speaker 2: The Haitian mortician.
Speaker 1: Still don't know anything about that. Coffeemaker, would love info.
Speaker 2: Would love to know what it is. Was it one that she no she bought it? Never mind she couldn't even get it. She couldn't even get like a promo, you know, like a free like a pr box. Coffeemaker, girl, you're in the Housewives of Miami.
Speaker 1: Why are you buying anything anything? Otherwise the perperse of you being here when you can't why have the job? You know what I'm saying, mm hmm. Some other sad breakups, Braun went and Todd they have decided the earth. Well Braun decided.
Speaker 2: Now it's the best thing that happened to her for me.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing I was gonna say in other sad news, sad breakups, but I was gonna say Candy and Todds breakup. But that's not sad to me at all. So I just didn't want to say myself up to be an asshole. But you know, we did it anyway.
Speaker 2: What about crude to form, especially at the end of the year, We're not gonna sit here and act like these women don't need to get away from these men.
Speaker 1: No, that's kind of the whole reason why they even need to be on Housewives, and why I'm glad the platform like Housewives and these kind of ensemble shows, especially now like slum Ole and things like that exist because these women are dynamite personalities. They have genuine ideas, they're smart, they're business women, they have potential. They have all the things about them, whether we know it or not, whether their husbands know it or not. They get on these shows, they're reveled for and revered for who they are, for all the things that they have their husbands literally crash out at the do you of anyone paying attention to the woman that obviously they were encapsulated enough by to marry as big, powerful men and then we get them all to ourselves and they're divorced.
Speaker 2: This is don't like my face being played in. That's the only thing with Bronwin because don't.
Speaker 1: Tell me about that separated.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm so glad and I feel like I clocked it from the beginning. No woman who has this amount of money. This man is in tech. This is tech money. No one in old tech money. I'm not talking about bitcoin. I'm not talking about you know, like what are those things bitcoin and those invisible things that you can buy on the internet.
Speaker 1: Ye about hardcore cryptocurrency. He's enough money.
Speaker 2: This is real tech money. Like your man got a flip phone. Okay, so you have money. No one with this amount of money would want to be on housewives and people would be like, sometimes there is attention, like heall to do bro of course she has real money, but she did not want to leave Terrry. She doesn't want to leave Harry. I believe that they are for the most part, very happy. Braun On on the other hand, came on here you think you can see I said it from the beginning. I was the enemy for it season one.
Speaker 2: She let us see how he talked to her, and she let us say, hey, this is not okay. She knew this, but she been doing it for ten years, and I said this. It was planning this since the beginning.
Speaker 1: Harry Brittenham to me from Dallas. Remember that I haven't seen a plot employ this good since Barry Brittenham. Where I'm like day one, we meet you, day two, husbands, day three, love you really bad? That husband sucks by day ten or second season episode one, suddenly we are all pushing.
Speaker 2: For second done, you're getting one and it's gone.
Speaker 1: You solidified yourself right here and here we are, and.
Speaker 2: Listen, I gave it her Batty's train because but don't play with me because I I caught that shit from the beginning. You try to put it all on Lisa, Lisa this that don't we tell my business when they're She literally told us, she told she had a conversation with Whitney. She told the whole group, and then it was like I didn't say that, no, bit you did, and we all heard you say what you said about you kicking Todd out, and we know you don't like that man Pully.
Speaker 1: Last season I remember saying it might have been even to you. I'm like, I just worry about what Todd is gonna feel or no, when he watches the season back. Yeah, sure, maybe you're clacking on counting on him not watching. But when he sees that you called him an emotion abuse or whether that's true or not, but that you're mad at Lisa, but you're airing your like abuse out on a yacht to people you just met three months ago.
Speaker 2: Got him to admit that he was cheating on national television. No prenup, you tell me that's not a woman to plan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, baby, listen, you're not wrong because this is exactly what I wanted and thought for for Ashley Darby. She fumbled it, but she That's what that's the trajectory that it seemed like she was on and could have been on. Bronwin is just not stupid. Now, That's what I've clocked from episode one, especially from season two with Bronwyn. I'm like, ah, no, she's smart. She's really smart. She is getting ahead of a lot of things before they happen. So because the writing's on the wall, but because she might have put it in pencil, wrote it down, told y'all to trace it, and here we are, though don't probably gonna end up making her divorce party dress.
Speaker 2: Got her parents somewhere to live, both of them.
Speaker 1: And then I ain't taken care of and no longer a kid in school or you know, an adult. Yup, yup. We knew something was up when over this past summer that was also this year, after the first season finished, we found out that Todd wasn't like spending money on the different boards and things that playing the dudes that she's in, not because they were having money troubles, but because it was low key given some kind of like financial abuse. You know, it's a little bit of control, at the least a little of control.
Speaker 1: And now here we are so good for you, Bronwin, more power to you, not mad at you. And then that does leave us also, then how do you feel about the Candy and Todd? Are you on Candy side Todd's or Mama Joyce? I'm Mama Joyce. I just want everybody to know I did tell you so. Me and Joyce's been on this ship for years. I told y'all when he opened that day, he said, I want to open a brunch restaurant. Excuse me, explain to me because he wanted to do it next door. Cut to a store. He already had a liquor license, a full staff, a menu, a name, and chef.
Speaker 1: Extend the hours on a Sunday. You don't need a new loan from candy to do full rental of a spot next door in downtown Atlanta with these high interest rates just to serve chicken and waffles, which you already serve at the restaurant next door. I said, no, this is this is financially unsound. I'm a tourist, so I was like, this don't make sense. This don't make sense, and we are allergic to shit that don't make sense. We are alert to two things getting out of bed when we don't need.
Speaker 2: To everything for a tourist.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. After this nap, I even chose to not record in my actual studio that everyone in my life has like devoted the second bedroom in my own specifically for because I'm on a blankie. This blanky is bomb. This new road my wife got me for Christmas. It's barefoot, and my my golden doodle is at my feet. I'm comfortable.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Could I be in an acoustics setting five feet away? Yes? Will I be? Because I'm comfortable all the reason When I'm looking at Todd, and I know Candy was also looking at Todd, Candy a tourist like, you want me to do a full gut rental of a warehouse old district building to serve waffles and we already serve waffles next door. Explain that to me. How much is gonna call three hundred thousand? Say it again? I said, if he wants her money, he wants her money. Mama Joyce was right. Mama Joyce was right.
Speaker 1: How do you feel?
Speaker 2: I am on Candy's side, and.
Speaker 1: I will see that for her, that all this, Mama is right.
Speaker 2: That's the only reason I'm on her side because I was like, Okay, it's been so long that I'm like, it can't possibly be for the money, because they've been, you know, together for so long, and they've been putting in it. You know, she has aspirations to get the egot. It seems like he's been very supportive. You know, he works in the TV industry. He was already in the industry. I'm not saying, I mean he was significantly making significantly less than her already, okay, saying he did that like I thought it was like he raised the kids like you know he was.
Speaker 2: He was fine. But once I think it was once I found out that he was talking to other women, That's when I got mad, because you already have an open marriage. She just had a threesome with you less than six months ago and told the world about it. What more can you want? You had a chungeon tour, You got a wife that's richer than you, You had a wife that has an alleged live and girlfriend. What more do you want from me? In the name of another emotional capricorn tyres.
Speaker 1: Okay, more.
Speaker 2: From me?
Speaker 1: Not to mention you were brought in on almost all of these deals, I mean producing some major broad They produced the Broadway play Together.
Speaker 2: Exactly this year. Exactly What is that make?
Speaker 1: Because he is a man, and that could just be the tweet that he's a man and that's enough. But he's also is you know, typical. This was given real typical nigga ship and it really upset me because I hate when I see good women like, and one thing about a Toryus is we are also loyal to a fault, to a point a fault. But let me tell you, when you do it, we're done. We're dying.
Speaker 2: Kenny was done, but I feel like she was really done when she sat on that Amazon Live. It's like, what do I want for Christmas? A divorce? Like you're already.
Speaker 1: Getting okay because you're telling telling me you got know her of the things that you're gonna have a living girl, I'm giving you all. It is, all this shout out to my wife and kids two thousand and six, all of this, well it is, and you're going to steale cheat now, well, how do you find a way to cheat in a cheatless situation? You know what I'm saying. And I wanted to do that. You want to hurt me? And now he's trying to play with her money and that is what is upsetting to me. He's confused. And this is why I'm on side of Mama Joyce because she's still that little demon eyed man.
Speaker 1: Yes, when we watched the wedding special and he was confused about a prena, Why you're in finance? That doesn't even make sense Secondly, why would you be confused when you know that you're marrying someone more more money than you, and you married her. I thought that she got over it. In his way of getting back at the idea of her house, a prinup was he opened a slow of businesses with her and with and in their name, so that when they divorced. My thought was it was always for when they divorced he could get half of the marital assets.
Speaker 1: And he lavish. That's the only thing that made sense to me of you getting another property to serve biscuits and pancakes, because it doesn't make sense, like because he wanted to judge to say you get seven of the houses or seven of the businesses. But Candy's so frugal. They never ow deed on houses, only on businesses. She only put her money in looking good tourists. We'd like to look good, fabulous, stylish loves. And he liked to make money and eat good. So she kept making restaurants. That wasn't enough for him.
Speaker 1: Now he got a play in her face, and I don't like it, and you know what, to which I say, I don't like being I'm never ever and I told you so. Ass bitch, except for Todd Tucker being a piece of shit. I knew that and told you all that, and Donald Trump being a bad idea for the American government and population of people, whether y'all know it or not. And I know I said, I'm ignoring it and I'm not talked about it all year. But if you had listened last year when I put out the real maybe we'd have a lot more joy at the end of this one.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying any fucking.
Speaker 2: Just like sweem me into the boy I am and I told you so as bitch. I'm sorry. That's one terrible strait about capricorns. One thing you love that for you, I told you like I told you all about Ron Win.
Speaker 1: She did, she did like I said it, and.
Speaker 2: I did not care. I was on a lonely island getting told the fuck just because she was good TV. I never said she was a good TV. I'm just telling you the bitch has a plan. And you know how I know that because I have a plan. Like what are we talking about?
Speaker 1: Game?
Speaker 2: Nis? This game? Do you not understand that I have a plank Kyle staying at another woman's house for six hours whatever? Or you didn't come home until six am. And also Todd literally doing this in Candy when he's about to be dominated for whatever award because he's helping her produce. It is the reason that we should start beatating me in again, because like that's we haven't been doing that enough. Take a hot pot or pan, look, watch a Tyler period movie. Take some hot grits these more.
Speaker 1: Honey, you tell me she said put it on a stove, And you get you a pot like this, and you put it on the stove and you turn it up real good, and you put the grits on it and you just let it simmer. And when you have finally had enough, get you some play you some grip ball. Okay. And if you don't know what I'm talking about when we say gripball, go Google to your research. Y'all report back, and you tell these women they can stop having a terrible twenty twenty six as soon as they because black.
Speaker 2: Woman, regardless, these men are going to get you in trouble, so why not just get it out of your system. That's why I love that they don't you up.
Speaker 1: They will mess you up because regardless.
Speaker 2: You try to you try to be you know, above things, and you try to go about things nice and and all this ship, just like with Paige Page tried to be above things. She just said, oh you know what, it just you know, it wasn't working and we decided to part ways. He gets his ass on Southern charm and acts like a hurtful puppy.
Speaker 1: That full and now he on Instagram live crashing out talking about life's too short, ride a drone or something like that, and then telling people whole stroller in the gym, like can you call.
Speaker 2: Doing his hair? What's going on? And I knew it because every day at Bromocon he would start, he would get it styled a different way and like, I'm just like mine.
Speaker 1: God, oh God. Some other news and mediocre white men, I think your lives and Mormon Wives had a great successful third season on Tel They're Reunion where they allowed way too many people with penises onto the stage on the couch and terrorable decision, and I blamed stas y'all were excited for her to be there. I was not, and I am not, and I told you so, ass bitch, But is so, I told.
Speaker 2: Y'all, and she'd wait to also say. She said me that she's going to be doing the tell Me Lies podcast. Don't listen to that bitch, tell me listen, listen to me, because I will be talking about tell me Lies. I don't know what she's doing over there. Who's dick? She's looking at who? But it's not something that we want to hear. We saw how terrible you did at the Secret Lives of Mormon was Union. Why do you think that you're really nast extraordinary.
Speaker 1: That I really got to tell y'all what you were so obsessed about obsessed with Stossy is her starting at freaking like nineteen to twenty something, twenty one years old, like twenty three, being a bitch. That is what you fell in love with. She has self professed to have gone from bitch to basic bitch to like mommy block. Even she says she's not in that place no more, which can definitely let you know the personality that you think she has is not there anything, It's no longer there. Anybody else could do it.
Speaker 1: It was not We got rid of Nick viil Yay Stossy Schroeder.
Speaker 2: No, did I know that that would be worse?
Speaker 1: Is Andy Cohen? Literally the only person that can produce a reunion people ask, No, y'all, just keep finding the other people that cannot. Why are all those men sitting on my stage? I don't know. Why did we have a sit down with all the husbands of dad talks as if I'm here for It's not the secret lives of Mormon dads and husbands. It's slommeo, not slam, especially.
Speaker 2: After the way that they acted like we are thank you.
Speaker 1: Why am I so chase? Why am I brat? Not next one? Okay, not too much?
Speaker 2: His brother not too much.
Speaker 1: Listen the straight y'all, I'm willing to over telling me, oh my god, that you watch his podcast.
Speaker 2: I don't watch.
Speaker 1: I don't watch most things straight men do. And they were like, yeah, I don't know what he's talking about, but like he's a good you know, but he's a good mass I haven't no girl, no.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Shot.
Speaker 1: But Laila realized she's black. I'm sorry not Leanne realized she's black. She got braids and a new boyfriend. Love that for her brother?
Speaker 2: She said, yeah, the brother.
Speaker 1: Pretty yeah, she said, not that one, but this one.
Speaker 2: Put the one I love.
Speaker 1: She's like, girl, I like Miranda. We're friends, so maybe not her daddy.
Speaker 2: Shout out to like, yeah, like fout out to her, realizing that she's black and also the ethnic here specialists.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, shout out to her because she in her world. Okay, love those braids. I was like, let's at.
Speaker 2: You go, Jimmy Newtron when she found out that she was related to Egyptian royalty, and then episode and the rest of we didn't see her go back since, oh.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Well, I love Jimmy new Tromp. In true Slamo News and Fashion, TFP did not have the same feeling where she may or may not have gone out on a date with Chase this season could not confirm more than I at the reunion, which is also how we know we have a bad reunion host, because pro, what do you think it is? Miranda was like I'm a little confused, and he was like, I mean it was now it was dinner and he's like, I don't know. So she doesn't know what's going on, Dakota don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: So she went on over to the Bachelorette and Taylor. Frankie Paul has both been announced owned a season of and Rapped the Bachelorette on twenty twenty five. It will come out in March of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Okay, and allegedly tell you what I was about to say, Tell me, what do you think that she's engaged?
Speaker 1: I don't think she I do, I do, I do, I do? I do, I do I do? What do you think that's gonna tell you what? I don't know? And I think that we're gonna get as soon as I see all the men, I think it's that's where it's gonna happen. It's gonna be. I think they're going to produce the hell out of this season one because she lives on TikTok and we can't not know all the things. Not to mention Layla saying that she can't wait to do double dates. She recently commented that under Taylor's saying, I knows, oh oh, they do TikTok, that they know how to drum up.
Speaker 1: I think she's engaged. That lady does not believe that she has self worth unless she is not a baby mama. So I do believe she's engaged, and the idea of her getting yes and sent him away, she's engaged. I don't think it's Dakota at all. I think she sent him away because she was done when you slept with her mom's friend, you freaking weirdo.
Speaker 2: I would imagine that that was it, but you know, with Taylor, you never know what's it.
Speaker 1: The only reason I think that was it is because her parents were finally on her side that Dakota is a piece of shit. When it affected them, they were all team you're a hoe, Udia husband, even if it's as bad as Dakota up until then. Now that he slept with someone or dealt with someone allegedly who's Lianne's friend, she's in. She's in the corner, sobbing at her own. Daughter's like Jimmy, you know, one of the Jimmy appearances. And she's like, Taylor's still working her behind off, and now Dad's finally all of a sudden talking about well, when you deal with a nursissist, sir, you were pushing him down her throat and calling her a literal who the last season, don't piss me off.
Speaker 1: But now because you okay, now I feel like she has familial support that she can do something else. But I do think she's one still a Mormon two really believes in being married. Three wishes Dakota could have not been an a hole and would have been married to him anyway. And four it's ABC and a Bachelor. We know people we watch it. We know that they're going to give all the best boyfriends who are the sweetest and the kindest, one man that gives her a little bit of gentleness and grace and tells her she's a good person.
Speaker 1: And they see her as a woman and not as a mom for the first time ever in her life. This is the first time she's ever been seen as an actual woman and not as a wife, mom, swinger, any of the things. Just as Taylor right, I highly highly guarantee she she's not making no feminine feminist statement walking away. He's single. She ain't doing it. She got a run. I think she was torn about it. Honestly.
Speaker 2: Do you think they're shug through the marriage?
Speaker 1: No? Okay, I think he might pull my less it'll be on TV. Maybe she found somebody who matches her fly, you know, is a reasonable person, cool with the TV life, also wants to be an influencer, but it's maybe just not an asshole, like they're a good influencer. People out there that are not Jack's Taylor or Craig like, who are not assholes.
Speaker 2: It's a really long time since I've heard from and I know I should not say his name because he appears like the Boogeyman, but it's been a really long time since I heard it from Jack.
Speaker 1: That's okay, they're gonna just we didn't even call you, and we're not gonna say it more than once, yeah, because then he will appear.
Speaker 2: So let yeah, let's move on.
Speaker 1: Last thing on the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives training. This is one of the things was, of course fruit of Pebbles his gate.
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, I missed the person that I was before I knew about that, You asked, Yeah, I thought I thought it was funny.
Speaker 1: I thought, I said, so it was fruity pebbles like Season one? What was that funny? Didn't yall here accusing all the wrong people of all the wrong things and for no reason, And boom, she's going ahead and exposed.
Speaker 2: That I've had a bowl since.
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't had a ball of cereal since. And you're right, And the only reason I noted that's true is because three days ago I was elevated. Me and Jesus were talking. Yeah, we were up there amazing, and uh, there's a bowl of like apple jacks atop my fridge. And I was like, I wonder if I'll ever get back to eating cereal. And I said to myself no, And I'm gonna tell you why. It's gonna blow your mind. Here's why. Okay, when I was growing up, when I was a little child, I was lactose in tolerant, meaning I could not have milk until I was like, swear to God ten years old.
Speaker 1: For time I ever really had it and tried it again after being a baby and being allergic to it, right, couldn't have the soy, couldn't have anything but rice milk. So daycare in the nineties was hard because girl, we got two and we got soy. What kind of milk do you want? I can't eat that? Okay, what can you have for your cheerios? And I was like, I don't know, I can't have milk. You went with water. It was nasty. I cried because naturally. Okay, so my daycare provider gave me apple or cheerios with apple juice, and all of my cereal in my life has pretty much been with apple juice ever since getting to Fruity Pebbles being Pisskate and me drinking or eating my cereal with apple juice.
Speaker 1: I can't get past the idea of pea which could resemble likely if you're drinking that amount of swig out in Utah probably resembles apple juice, and Fruity Pebbles being bread drinking her apple juice fist. It's a lot for me. So I thought to myself, I guess I'll just never eat cereal again because I do eat it with apple juice, and I can't not think about what Jesse has uncovered, which is urine in cereal, and I don't want it. I think I'm just gonna move past cereal until I have children one day and if they want cereal.
Speaker 1: Tough titties, not.
Speaker 2: Okay. I'm not at all high. I'm not high at all, and I'm not ok once. I am not drunk at all.
Speaker 2: It's the holidays, guys, look not too much on me ahead. I just need you to run that back. You Apple just said that you eat your cereal with apple juice.
Speaker 2: Have you ever said this? I feel like that's something that I would of.
Speaker 1: Knowing about you, I feel like you're because I do something. So one also fun fact about me, I'm an autistic adult, so a lot of the thing is that I keep in Also, I call them some people call them quirks and stems. I call them serial killer trades. And I tried to collect the people on the internet. No too much me and the end up on a Netflix docu special later and they come and they asked to interview. I'm talking like you did tell me she drank her. I didn't see that she could be a killer, but then she said she was eating her cheerios with apple juice and.
Speaker 2: She was a kid, and so well, you use the apple juice in place of the milk, like you get the bowl. Yeah, you put the cereal. Do you put the apple juice first? I thought to cereal first? I do, And people are, Okay, I think that I'm psychotic for that, but it's because I don't.
Speaker 1: Like serial killer trade.
Speaker 2: But I can. People don't understand when you put like I'm so sick of explaining how sogginess like, I'm weird with textures the cereal and I eat it layer by layer, so I would not put a lot of cereal in a bowl at one time, I put the milk first, did I put the cereal on it? And I eat it as fast as possible. I just want to get wet a little bit. I just don't want to get soggy. But the fact and also how much milk? Do you know what you need? If you're anyways?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: So you put you okay, you're using a bowl, you put the cereal so phinnut cereals apple jacks up until a few months ago, and then you pour in apple juice and.
Speaker 1: You with a spoon.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming yeah, yeah, yeah, else you get the juice money right, shut up? And I'm picking the mic up, And I know you hear me louder than I usually am because I'm picking the mic up. This stays between us on this podcast. She's not gonna tell anyone else. It's just me her and whoever's listening to this. You guys better not say shit else to anyone, because that's the crazy. I've heard a lot of crazy things in twenty twenty five. Heavy sigh, African American sigh.
Speaker 1: I don't believe I made your list, So when you do your countdown, I hope I make an Honora mention. Like y'all, I thought I had my list of bombshells all year, decided to casually say no, this.
Speaker 2: Can't carry out out.
Speaker 1: Oh you can't.
Speaker 2: You're right, stop saying that shit, man.
Speaker 1: Okay, I will not tell you.
Speaker 2: I will call you on the phone to tell you to stop saying it. Because what yeah, yeah, so fruity pebbles and piscate happened. I thought it was like what I thought that I was scarred from piscape.
Speaker 1: No, my life actually changed. It's been really hard.
Speaker 2: For and I'm so about it because I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Haven't had apple juice in my house since, which has actually been a problem and probably why I'm so cranky.
Speaker 2: I am so sh she's so y'all.
Speaker 1: You don't even know, you have no idea, you have no idea. How sh like guy's mouth's been on the ground, sit for minutes. I'm gonna I'm gonna try to casually, casually move on to Dancing with the Stars. Turning twenty this year. Did you know we were old? I didn't until Dancing with the Stars told me that it turned twenty. When I remember calling in and voting as a young in on my landline, and not only.
Speaker 2: That, mom talk also made that relevant because I was one of the only people who used so fucking keep watching Dancing with the Stars every year. This year it's literally now everywhere.
Speaker 1: It was the most voted four season in history. And they do credit a lot of that to not Olympian Jordan Childs or Dylan that fron winner of Traders, who was another hot topic on here, but no to Whitney and jin because we also saw them both compete for and on the season. Then being Hella pregnant, which is crazy, and Whitney being not on the show until she hears she could be on Dancing with the Stars shows up fifteen minutes before the interview, says well, contractually, I'm still part of the show, so bitches, I'm here to work.
Speaker 1: Works, gets on, goes far yep. Now it's on Broadway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't like Whitney, but good for her.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I still don't like Whitney either. I don't like Whitny either, but I do like this for her, this glow up. I like this her husband. I thought he brought some of the most sense to the whole season, not enough to have him and all the other men there without a woman on the live show. But you know he means he's reasonable. They've all moved to New York, apparently for this time being, while she is Roxy in Roxy Heart in Chicago, a role that was just occupied by none other than Ariana Maddox. When you ask this year year February, I saw Ariana on Broadway shout out to CEC loves you, She'll be on the PODYA.
Speaker 2: I love c C.
Speaker 1: I love her so much. So we both were apparently in New York. We didn't get to see each other, and never a line. We were so close each time we saw Arianna like an hour, like a day apart or something like that. And she's coming on the show in the in the new year, and she's awesome. We are you gonna get fantastic. It's not a role that requires a lot of singing. It's not a role that okay, so it requires a lot of singing, but it's like sing talking, so like Kasha could do it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I not a lot of dance either, so I don't know how when he's gonna do. But that girl can act. She's she's doing it. She's really showing y'all all the multifacets of one Whitney Levitt and that husband is there, you know, with her shout out to girls doing things that we didn't see coming for them, but they can.
Speaker 2: God bless the girls a gaze in.
Speaker 1: In no particular order, injustice for those who are doing their best. Part of that being Kim Gardashian. She had a tough year, great year and a tough year. Tough year. Let me tell you why All's Fair is a show. It's a show that everybody watched and because everyone tuned in for their reasons. So what happened was this People watch the Kardashians ironically. I would say about sixty percent of their audience on Hulu is watching them ironically. I'm part of that sixty percent. I want to know why so many people like how they amass, the kind of power wealth do they have?
Speaker 1: How much do they have power and wealth? How much I wonder this season let me know how many real people who the rest of us one hundred percent can respect and think have talent, actually give a fuck about the Kardashians just because they have money beyond things that I didn't even see Glenn close being at your house because you haven't seen the American classic that she's in and she's not offended crazy to me, you haven't seen Fatal Attraction. She comes to your mama's house to do a whole screening for you and the cast of All's Fair, including my favorite lesbian couple, Nisia Nash and Jessica Beets.
Speaker 2: That's why I watched All's Fear, and also Kiana Taylor and you can tell you Taylor, you can tell that part of Sarah Fawson was the actual star of the season. That's my girl, especially the last two episodes where she was the most unhinged I've ever ever seen her.
Speaker 1: Give her she does a lot of unhinged ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, but this for me was like top of the line. But I will say you can tell the parts that Kim was included in because when she had Tianna say we all want to be here, I'm like.
Speaker 1: And Tiana had to probably stifle her own truble with that one.
Speaker 2: Shop Tiana Taylor, I wanted to laugh in your ears because when I heard that and I'm like, yeah, I know, Kim wrote that one.
Speaker 1: Like Tiana Knect That's what she showed us. Okay, never forget Kim cannot and that's why it's made the list because all y'all like to call it, call it funny, tampy. I thought it was awful. I really did. I gave it so many opera tunities to.
Speaker 2: The person that I thought would love it.
Speaker 1: It was fine. I just hate watching him act because I don't hate her as non theatress and actress, but it's hard for me to then get past the fact that it felt like a lot of these also heavy hitting, very talented actresses were like being worse so that she didn't look as bad and she still was all.
Speaker 2: Unfair that you could literally just buy your way into, or Ryan Murphy could just PLoP you into, and you guys buy your way into like these Oscar winning actresses.
Speaker 1: It's not fair. It's not fair. And now they have a season two. Because all I was watching either to watch because we were like, well, not, what the hell is this ship, and then fell in love with it. A lot of y'all were like, nah, I loved it by the end. I thought it was great fun Benji had a good time. Yeah. I opened TikTok immediately every time I turn it on, so I I was like this is I am just not because I don't. I can't. I'm looking at Kim, like, am I here are you? You're here the doing reality? Like I don't know what I'm looking at.
Speaker 1: I don't know what tool things I'm looking at. I follow Sarah Paulson to almost any world she's in, even the bad way. And that's not for nothing because Ryan Murphy has made some actual flops. I just like it was also one of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's but that's I know that, I see that. I know that it's it's bad, but it's like one of them shot Ryan Bailey like it was so bad. It's good because I'm like, I'm there for my faves Tana and Nissi and Sarah and like literally everyone else but Kim, And then I'm there for fashion and then I'm also there forssness like like an open.
Speaker 1: Song and oh man, I said, no, I said, oh my god, that is her actual booty. What there's crack on my TV in the courtroom. This is a Maybe it's also because like I'm a girly who secret life promise, love a lawyers show. I'm crime Reasonable Doubt and that was it, and I love reasonable doubt. In fact, I'm ninety sure I wasn't caught up a reasonable doubt. I turned off All's fair and went to go finish that ship because that ship is excellent.
Speaker 2: That's my that ship. Yes, that's the only that we need.
Speaker 1: Thank you. And for y'all who don't know reasonable doubt. Kerry Washington produced nest. He always says literally what does she always? She said once she was like, it's like scandal if Olivia Pope would have been allowed to cuss and say that in word, it's me every time I said, there it is. It's fantastic soundtracks, lace and.
Speaker 2: The reason that I literally like locked into a season one and then also Morris Chestnut was the reason I locked in season two and then also yeah, and then they brought my man Tommy from Power on so it's like, I love it's playing white man and he's playing man. Also it's and he's still he has a black wife on there, and it's.
Speaker 1: Just like I love it, you love it loud, I love tom I'm gonna always call him Tommy for the rest.
Speaker 2: Of my life. Tommy's on right now, Power Book Tommy.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly exactly. Shout out to Lacy she's a writer on a friend of mine writing on Power, she did great writers on and a black woman. We love to see it.
