If there are things we forgot, feel free to DM me or take a listen to some other podcasts that might be coming out that will tell you about at the end of this episode. But up next is part two of the highlights and hot topics of the year with Kaya from Bravo We're Black.

0:41 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening and Happy New Year.

0:45 Speaker 2: Yeah.

0:46 Speaker 1: Speaking of fantastic women writers and writers' rooms doing they damn thing. We got some feedback from a mixologist whose daughter is a writer on my favorite breakout drama of the year, That would be Hunting Wife, which we have both talked about and covered extensively. How do you feel about the major success that this show, this little show that we were like, now, what did we just stumble into? Let's be lesbians, let's get republicans?

1:18 Speaker 2: What republicans with books.

1:23 Speaker 1: With? Y'all guides me the absolute funniest I might just have to link it in the goddamn descriptions of some of my favorite drag queens. I don't know how you do my favorite ladies, some of my favorite ladies Tatya and oh my god, I'm blanket Trick. Thank you, Trixy Mattel do a full watch and reaction to hunting Wise and Honey when I say they clock shit, I ain't never thought about girl. They started clocking wits that we had questions about, but they.

1:58 Speaker 2: Know they get not the real wig in the room with them inspected it and it was like.

2:07 Speaker 1: It yeah, and I'm like, hey.

2:09 Speaker 2: Okay, God bless the drag Queens. Which dra Drag Race is coming on January second, so around.

2:15 Speaker 1: The corner, so excited. I love Drag Race absolutely one of my favorite shows to watch. I'm always in an All Star early sintimes. I rewatched All Star season two for like oas and it's weird, but love a lesson, so I feel it's always entertaining.

2:30 Speaker 2: I feel like Drag Race is one of those shows. At one point it's like it was never like a week that it wasn't on for like a good six months, but then once the last season stopped, it's been months since this has been on and I'm like this yeah show. Like I got desperate to the point where I was watching Global All Stars. I'm like, why am I? Why am I watching this? It should always be on what are we doing? We have we have the funds, we have it, like, what's going on? Are Paramount because of you? Let's go back to logo.

3:00 Speaker 1: It's logo.

3:00 Speaker 2: Who's logo owned by?

3:02 Speaker 1: What are we doing it? And that's the sad part.

3:06 Speaker 2: It needs to be every week.

3:08 Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna have to bring us out of our fantastic bubble for a second and say that Paramount is deeply entrenched in this administration, and I do worry about the fate of our drag queens and programming in the near future because UFC it's there's, there's there's changes. Ever since those two gay question Mark, the CEOs and co partners of Paramount decided to sell their souls to the homophobic devil confusion. You decided you're gonna end DEI program and on Paramount, girl, the whole thing is DEI program.

3:46 Speaker 1: I'm not here. I literally go to Paramount for the least political ship. That's the whole gag is that there is b E T mt v v H one like all the things this dress.

3:59 Speaker 2: After so many years and hip hop Miami is ending, I'm like, this is just the beginning. You guys think that it's because what's happening shitty.

4:06 Speaker 1: No, this is because y'all watch, y'all watch. It's not because it's shitty. People watch. Let me tell you they watch more of that than they do Beverly Hills in them right now. Okay, okay, but y'all not ready for that conversation, So let me get back to my list. We had quite a lot of pop girl is getting engaged. I'm going to name some.

I'm in the sports now because I'm married and decided to compromise my life away and that I was like a baddie is apparently engaged to a real person, a real sports player and not a big side like Jasie on potonac. Okay, because that's what I didn't come up with this, Vanessa said.

6:44 Speaker 1: She looked. Vanessa looked and she said, I forget what she called him, but it's worse than what I just said. So that binge more than that. Jesse got married and Anna mac is right around the corner, honey, and she got more I need to work with. Is is she a batty? And now she knows she had said is she a batty? Do you think Kylie is going to be at Jordan's. I know she'll be at the wedding. Do you think she'll be in the wedding because famously they had a giant falling out because her sister is a misogynistic hoe and doesn't like herself and blamed her baby daddy, fiance whatever boyfriend cheating on her with a young and on the young en that she's known since she was like eleven years old, and not the man that committed to her, nutted in her and gave her.

7:35 Speaker 2: A baby, just saying you still have living in.

7:39 Speaker 1: Your home taking care of his brother. Him. He can't put a sentence together, but it's Jordan's fault, and we were all supposed to excommunicate her from the rest of our lives. And that's how I say, none of that. Never never, It'll never be a Chloe.

7:54 Speaker 2: It'll never happen. It'll never happen for Chloe for me. And I also never put the Smith's on a cross. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett can do whatever the fuck they want.

8:06 Speaker 1: They raised me included popping people in the face. Sure, shut the fuck up, everybody does heye, Chris, I just.

8:17 Speaker 2: Feel like sometimes I just feel like what wasn't fear is that I went my entire life right. This man literally raised me. Okay, he has done nothing wrong in the public eye, my entire lia, so did raise me right? Loses is cool once and I'm supposed to get rid of this black, excellent man who finally and getting robbed on the night of he gets his oscar. I don't give a fuck. Then he gets banned for ten years. No, you'll never, You'll never. In the bel Air was so good, you guys, please watch bel Air was so damn good this season.

8:56 Speaker 2: I needed to come back, but whatever, but yeah, shout out to the Smith and Okay.

9:02 Speaker 1: Always be on the side of the Smiths, and Jordan went to the Smiths for refuge when the Kardashians had her kicked out of the White Hollywood and Black Hollywood said oh no, well we know like that, okay, And and then they were like, oh yeah, so we've been friends with the Smith's our whole lives and my god, people, I'm sorry you've been hanging out with the wrong family, but I am glad that Kylie decided to be like Chloe, you Carol friend, that's your mo. So I'm gonna go get my girl and give a ship.

9:33 Speaker 2: So that's what I feel like I would want, Like I really.

9:37 Speaker 1: Wanted six million dollars in the same neighborhood as Kylie.

9:42 Speaker 2: I wanted to. I'm sorry, I want to be girls again. Like girls, you're not even with the man all that, and you still not with them.

9:53 Speaker 1: Also, Jordan could give a ship. She's got a man with real money, Tristan, don't play. She's got a real NBA. Chloe, you can have that one. Carl Anthony Towns, my wife with the sports, like to tell me he is good at the sports. Twenty six million dollars of a house, good at the sports. Okay, so that's a thing. We love all of those girly shout out to the to the proposals and the marriages, honorable mentions dms. If we missed.

10:23 Speaker 2: The breakups, now we're going through the uh, the engagements and then.

10:28 Speaker 1: Yeah and even some marriages. Like I said, Jesse from Potomac did marry that bench warmer, but shout out to where she had a wedding. It did miss the TV because some housewives came to it. Stacy, for better or worse, decided she was gonna go if the cameras went, and some other girls went to and it's led to her being the breakout star of twenty twenty five. So we love that for Stacy. Alexis Billino did get married to Shannon's X trash back and her and John Jansen, can you know now file jointly on taxes on that money that he got from Shannon that he'll have to pay taxes on and they'll file jointly on that and then break up promptly after they realize they have nothing in common other than hating Shannon and all.

11:17 Speaker 1: That just doesn't have our job anymore because no one wants that to be a storyline.

11:22 Speaker 2: I'm not watching first place.

11:23 Speaker 1: I didn't give a nobody caring. Oh, I think it's time to put it away. They never will because we have to have like un like a white franchise, like the main one has to be control like control base. You know what I mean? Well, yeah, pure essentially that's why. Well, you were at Bravo con and Vicky was giving that orange back and so we knew and uh and this was after.

11:50 Speaker 2: Wait wait wait wait another breakup, breaking news and I am broke so wait breaking news. Yes you don't have to I'm gonna need you to. Tiana and Aaron Pierre have just broken I broke up before we got a sex tape. The page six is reporting it. I'm I'm unwell nowell.

12:20 Speaker 1: Aaron Pierre, that's Fassa. Yeah yeah. I was so happy for her to move from Amon to Aaron here.

12:33 Speaker 2: I wanted to be at least like, I hope that it's like a breakup, that's you know, like you can still be friends, because right now I feel like she's in her era. She's about to go on it's about to be Award season. He lives across the pond. I don't know, like you know or he was he was filming Green Lanterns. So they're about to be very busy. I'm trying to write rationalize this in my head that made of how busy they both are about to be for one battle after another, which is on HBO Max. You guys can go watch it right now.

13:11 Speaker 2: She's about to be on her campaigning for the Oscar Wins or Emmy Wins or Golden Globes when she's nominated for a bunch of things, and then after that again failure, and then that about to be on promo tour for Green Lantern and then the Green Lantern airing. So I do feel like, hopefully it was just something that had to do with, like, you know, the schedules, because in my mind, that was the most beautiful couple.

13:40 Speaker 1: Of the year. It was and again a major bounce back after a divorce, after a breakup. Tianna's baddest shit. She's so find strong, can act. She did a movie with Tyler Perry this year.

13:53 Speaker 2: It was the only one walk you've ever seen.

13:56 Speaker 1: No, but for real, that girl can walk. To the point where me and my mom signed up for a gym membership at Planet Fitness the very same day of her performance. Yo. When she wasn't Kanye, it was Kanye, it was Rammy faith. Yes, my mom signed up for a gym membership like we were gonna get the maps at Planet Fitness. We weren't, but she signed. It's look at that body.

14:27 Speaker 2: And your mom can do it?

14:29 Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, yes, yes, listen, yes you.

14:36 Speaker 2: You try, You don't you don't know you try take the real g O P two Oh, because that's you do work, you know.

14:44 Speaker 1: It, do it, do it? Do shout out to the New Year. This is not an ad not yet, but it could be. Listen some other major things that happened this year. I want to talk a little bit about the Vocans, things that went on in the fallouts from it, and then we'll wrap up well in with legal dramas. So first some bravoc on things. Vicky got her orange bag, like I said, Kaya and Jake from State Farm look really cute on there. When listen. All we need to do is have no let me not. I'll say that safe special y'all.

15:28 Speaker 1: And I need to need to reel in his threshold. It's a lot higher than mine.

15:37 Speaker 2: He has a lot of what he can afford.

15:40 Speaker 1: The you right about it, and you cannot.

15:44 Speaker 2: We need to be monetized here. We need to keep the commercials.

15:48 Speaker 1: Okay exactly listen to the guys. Also, I am not responsible for the ads that your hair place. And let me say, I know a lot of people are putting out essays because the ad dynamic marker, it picks ads based on your area. I for whatever reason. I mean, I know why, because I love y'all. Y'all love me. I am very popular amongst and a miss white women in the US. Typically moms shout out to how y'all know Suans, Susan, Carvana's, Sharon's my White Mafia.

16:24 Speaker 2: I love so much TWPS. The TWPS trust the white people, trust.

16:28 Speaker 1: The white people. I love that. So going by Kaya, the trusted white people that do listen to this, y'all are apparently living in spaces and places where other people are interested in listening to the other things that maybe you don't subscribe to, but they do, meaning you have fallen into a demographic. I'm gonna say that. You might say, Na, Monnie, I live in the Bronx. My name is Carol, but I live in the Bronx and things are cool. I don't know why I'm hearing ice ads. I'm gonna tell you also this we have been told, at least I have been told as a podcaster, and I know a lot of other podcasts across the board.

17:01 Speaker 1: They are putting the ads in under names that we can't I have the things up to say, like no political ads. I tell all the people no political ads. I'm like, oh, who do you want to work with unless you hear me read it. I don't have a say in what gets put on there. And let me tell you, I'm looking at the thing. They are putting it in places that make no sense. I add in culinary. I said, oh no, I know you're lying. I'm trying where to God, ok,

17:30 Speaker 1: Carol Carrol, Carrol Way Carrot, my seventeen year piece, my seventeenth piece cotton pants like a normal person. I'm just trying to get some better help.

17:40 Speaker 2: To put an ice from christinean but in Spanish.

17:45 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I know you, that's terrible. How dare you eat? Like, Okay, you're awful, diabolic man, you rest in hell. I'm sorry, that's awful rude.

17:57 Speaker 2: As other time, that ship would be funny, but it was not funny because it happened to me because.

18:04 Speaker 1: Where do you live?

18:05 Speaker 2: I live in South Florida, So yeah.

18:07 Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, I'm sure that the other girlies just casually listening to Bravo while black and and they're like, TYA gonna get me stoke. No not ne there is money. Neither is any of the other girlies unless you see those But I do know who those top ten podcasters are in the world. They probably might we do not, but we are not in control. They are literally.

18:32 Speaker 2: Putting it in and they can probably say hey stop and they don't so.

18:38 Speaker 1: Way more way more so, just like.

18:43 Speaker 2: From using her song and their ads, but she didn't, but everyone else said something. But that's y'all fame though. Anyways, what's next?

18:50 Speaker 1: That's why I scooted right past her, and y'all know, y'all thrilled. I can give a ship and what y'all really gonna stop doing it? I'm not. I'm not gonna say it today, but we're gonna stop comparing tours. Anyways. Let's see, they got a Lifetime Achieving Award for being a houselife even when she's not love that for her Tea and.

19:18 Speaker 2: Todd wasn't at the Wifetime Awards. What the fuck are you doing? You're promoting don't bring your man to Atlanta while she's at the Wifetime Achievement Awards that you were. You were in the package. So I'm like, where's Todd?

19:30 Speaker 1: And she thinks, but y'all got a special? Hello? You know how many marriage specials they have been on Bravo? Not many?

19:40 Speaker 2: How many in general? Like you need to be there and if that stop?

19:47 Speaker 1: Also you love being mister candy. Isn't that the whole Gaga is spending her money to produce her ship and I don't know, open up restaurants for meals instead of app full.

20:00 Speaker 2: Concepts, concepts of a plan.

20:02 Speaker 1: Thank you listen Traders Faithful's one this time and that was nice. It was Dylan Efron and Gabby a lesbian love her who famously was so boring as the Bachelorette that she had to come out as gay for y'all to give a fuck about her love for her to have a personality, and now that she is gay, she has one you know who loves does another moment this year Kyle came out and stop gaslighting us? She cook o Brad, she could go Angelina?

20:33 Speaker 2: Yeah, like what do you mean.

20:35 Speaker 1: Best thing about her? That's it, that's the That's the one reason I like her.

20:39 Speaker 2: And I'm not even mad at Mauricio no more like she's trying to make me hate Mauricio for being a whole and I'm like, yeah, it might be embarrassing for the kids, But you literally are doing the same thing. You're literally could hate Mauricio dumb Like you're talking to me like I'm dumb. You are saying fell in love with a person you can't saying that. We just we know who you're talking.

21:03 Speaker 1: About, just because she don't want you to say her name. Also, I don't realize that being a real housewife, this is how you could and should do it. This is how like nany just they some of the greats, even someone someone like Tamra like they would do. They're not comfortable with me talking about them on the show, but I wasn't a relationship and because they didn't like my life and I wanted to make it work and they wouldn't make Tamara has literally done that and explained the way why her daughter won't film with her.

21:31 Speaker 1: But you can't just say the reason, thank you, She will throw her daughter under the bus. For a storyline, and girly don't have to show up say nothing right all you had to do, Kyle, Like you know, I could go Brad, I could go Angelina. But why are we even talking about that? The only reason we're asking about that because you never told if you and Mauricio were breaking up and he was fucking other women. But because you too, one of the fuck other women. I think that's fascinating thing about you to date.

22:00 Speaker 1: You could have just said that and I was in a relationship with this girl, fell for fell in love, first relationship out first girly girl. You know you can make this about you got my my lesbian Cherry Popps, although probably not, probably not, I think she had experienced once upon a time.

22:18 Speaker 2: I also think dress butched down in these confessionals and you want to play in my face? Okay, kay?

22:26 Speaker 1: The caf Dan has always told me something stepped out to Ky for being gay. She was last nothing. It's preferred. I was like most likable Kyle has been to me since season one, episode one. I liked Kyle until she entered the room and started talking to Kim. Then I liked Kim Moore and didn't like Kyle and that was it. It was a rap.

22:57 Speaker 2: Ever since she stole her fucking house, that's pretty much, did.

23:01 Speaker 1: You stole my goddamn house? If she did, I believe it. I said, no, those aren't allegations you throw out every day, Like what how to do that if it's not true. I'm it's so crazy. You know what I'm saying, white legacy ship that white people got no loyalty. I need you all to work on your loyalty bag, I really And.

23:21 Speaker 2: They say we don't stick together, and they keep saying black people need to stick together like babies. Look at the voting numbers.

23:30 Speaker 1: We always stick together for like say this right now, we got we and now you herself got me. People that you would never know about because they are black, And I'm gonna always support them down, promote them up, and you will never know that. Y'all be the ones sign seals, joint podcast networks, get better opportunities. Cut you off, Alex and Alex. I'm looking at those white women like Alex and then she had a car. Her daddy was a whole thing with another girl, the Sophie. Listen. I learned about white woman drama through white ladies not sticking together.

24:13 Speaker 1: That's what's brought us all here today. Yeah, no, that's why I watched Household lack of loyalty. Hello, that's my favorite thing to do.

24:20 Speaker 2: Do you see them? Like, what are we talking about?

24:25 Speaker 1: Girl bad Weather? The first three seasons they didn't even like each other. They've had a falling out. I'm like, you don't know, Heather and we like each other or just good it still don't They just doing good work together bringing people down. So that's the thing you're making people feel. Shame love that for them. I'm with it. I'm just saying, y'all need to work on your loyalty to each other occasionally, that's all you know, because loyalty. Speaking of the ethnic girlies, you got Komoralie Simmons, who's back in the Fab Lame back on.

24:55 Speaker 2: TV episodes of My Life Like, I'm so mad that when it was over.

25:06 Speaker 1: Style Network, Thank you, Kevin because one thank you Style Network, miss you Stylen Network. I love Style Network. I was watching it all the time. I remember the days when Komoralley Simmons back in the Fab Lane or Life in the Fab Lane, the original show with her two daughters at the time in their new Jersey mansion that I wanted to. I thought New Jersey was so popping because of Komoralley Simmons. Not that it's not, it's just she

25:32 Speaker 1: makes everything fabulous, Like genuinely, I was wearing all the things. She was so big then it was. I mean, I know a cocoon is because of that lady. I remember when the girls were walking their first runways. Another Super Bottles Wednesday is at nine. The can't believe the adults.

25:57 Speaker 2: Yoki is in BALI sleep on mountains.

26:01 Speaker 1: Yeah, with her non extra dighted daddy, probably.

26:04 Speaker 2: In some way. Okay, you know what the point is is that have you been.

26:09 Speaker 1: Very in the press she was promoting she okay, so the show is good. Talk about going viral, okay, but Kamara has been going viral in promoting her show. That's already good. Not because of what's on the show that is good, it's because they like. Oh so She's like, yes,

26:33 Speaker 1: I wasn't pleased. I didn't let me love it. You know. She's like everybody else wasn't great, and I love it. How honest she is, she is know herself. She is a true mom. She's bene taken on kids. She didn't have other kids. She a little hood. She got baby daddy from all over the place. Continents abound, in prison, out of prison, going to prison, could be.

27:02 Speaker 2: Damned. Okay, she has a child of every race.

27:07 Speaker 1: Every it's all kinds of babies.

27:13 Speaker 2: Babies or you would have loved AI if it came out ago because she could she and be like, what do I look like?

27:24 Speaker 1: My baby? Look like?

27:25 Speaker 2: What baby look like? As inter country? You wouldn't have had all these.

27:32 Speaker 1: But Amory Simmons child, she's but she is a great mama. She even took on another kid. She's really dope. I love her. She found she on Celsius bitch.

27:43 Speaker 2: What and I remember that fight, but I don't know that it was yeah, baby girl, Yeah me too.

27:54 Speaker 1: I've seen like the young girlies are into Baby Fat. She's been. She's like him, like baby Fat just turned funny this this year. And in that she's bringing in her babies that she started because that she had this thing at the same time as her babies, and then now her babies are part of it. And I think that's really really cool. She's dressing Ice, Spice, Lorilla, all the girls, but she's doing the young people thing. Her daughters are beautiful, like in a way that is really aggressive. But Kamara is also.

28:26 Speaker 2: Aggressive now then has decided that and he just he was like, yeah, you're my mom that skin.

28:34 Speaker 1: I was like, yep, he's just good. I mean, she's such a micromanager. She's so fun. I love that lady. I have always one of my nails and toes to match. Because Colmora Lee Simmons snapped at her white girl assistant Mallorie that she made audition for the role of being her assistant and she sent that girl to go switch out her nail polished before she could go on the work trip with them because it didn't match her toes and feet. I said, oh my god, her my manny and petty has to match your Kamora. Lisa is literally would not hire me and that meant something to me.

29:07 Speaker 1: It did, And so love that she's back. Love that she's back on the fab lane missed her down, She's on her way up. Sena Shay solidified her end with Bravo this year, releasing a nice little bookie book that was a bad idea. Now nobody wants to talk to Sheena Shae anymore. She talked shit about Lisa, She talked about producer, She talked shit about La La and some setups and things that we thought might have been fake about VPR, but now we know we're a very fake about VPR. So I mean, I'm pretty sure no one said to see Sina go, even people who love Sheena.

29:45 Speaker 1: We held on as long as we could. She did not do us good. So all the best to you Affairs and all on the come up. The Gorgas and the jude Chas, Judai CIEs, whatever, all got back together so that they could be included on the reboot of New Jersey that we still know nothing about. Have no dates, but they are all back together and proudly launched Heart launched their family oial relation reunions at and around Bravo Con, and since Bravo Con, they've been hard launching another refollow reunion holiday Ever since they all spent Christmas together and filmed a TikTok about sprinkle Cookies that I actually kind of thought was iconic.

30:31 Speaker 1: Can we just talk about she did not think it was coon.

30:36 Speaker 2: I mean, I just I feel like it's literally because they know that Bravo's not coming with them, so they're like, Okay, we got to get along. Yeah we want to or not?

30:44 Speaker 1: Girl. They are like laying it on.

30:46 Speaker 2: Thick whether we want to or not, Like it did not happen that fast that.

30:50 Speaker 1: Were being forced.

30:51 Speaker 2: Uh huh, although you did, you know you just you just brought up New Jersey. Which is why I need to bring this up because this happened this year and I'm still mad about it on behalf of those employees.

Okay, please curs out me and titled girl. That's why we're looking at Jennifer Aiden like you're bugging. Most of us are where this person is it would not be You're weirdough soy in January, where we are and now Bravo. Kahn has again not announced anybody coming back from Jersey or Jersey even coming back, but Dolores Black Dolos coming with us.

32:26 Speaker 2: Thank god. One small step for men.

32:32 Speaker 1: Listen. Italy was once a Muslim country. I love to remind people of that fact. Once upon a time, the time used to be the Blacks, the Irish ruled. Okay. Also, sinners came out this year. I chose to not do movies because we'd be here for seven hours, but great movies happened this year. Shout out to sinners. Can't believe that whole thing was an original thought. Give that man his awards. And last but not least, y'all the legal dramas are twenty twenty five. To round us out. This is where we spent a lot of time in the courthouse and the penitentiaries.

33:12 Speaker 1: Karen got out of jail, Wendy maybe going to jail, Mia also going to jail. Party beat off the Hook got out of court looking great through a pin at. A woman could have gone back to court, it chose not to. In Date Diddy on trial, we all watched that Karen Reid also on trial, acquitted because she's a bitch but not a murderer, and jen Shaw got released literally three years early. This is a year in review of the criminal justice system.

33:41 Speaker 2: I actually love to give you your props for that rundown because that was ex kill.

33:48 Speaker 1: I stayed up for the rest on all of these I love, I love my criminal things. Okay, Yeah, Karen Reid is a bitch. Y'all all hated her. We listened to a lot of podcasts about that white lady. Never heard y'all never heard of her before to this year. Found out that Boston's got a lot of problems and their police really should do something about it. Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, Boston Blue. In fact, I think one of the same prosecutors or something that's in the Karen Reid trial is also being called into question in another trial that's a famous case.

34:24 Speaker 1: That's like becoming a thing. So Boston, get your shit together. But Karen ree let us know, you could be a bitch, but you can't send me to jail for that. And I fell empowered by that she got acquitted. Love that for her. She's an acquittal. She's a Karen that got out. Karen. What is Karen's last name? Are you the grand Dams? You also got out of jail. She was supposed to be in there for a little bit. She did not do a little bit. She came out this year. Love that for her two damn long Still she crisis.

34:58 Speaker 1: Couldn't rejoice for two damn long because Wendy is having the best season of her damn life. I swear she is having a great season on Potomac if she hadn't done the crime.

35:09 Speaker 2: And listen episode the next day. Every time she has a good episode, the next day they're like, oh, she had three million credit cards by the way they released.

35:21 Speaker 1: I mean, he has a good episode. I'm looking at the episode and her part of her storyline is a renovation for a home that didn't need to be renovated in this attitude from top to bottom. And again, I want to remind people, it always questionable to me because she moved, didn't downsize home. She has the same size home. She moved an hour plus away so that it was more affordable. But now you can afford over hundreds of thousands of dollars in renovations. That doesn't make sense as like a financial move if you're moving further out so that you can start your business or downsize money or whatever.

36:00 Speaker 1: But now we know why marble from head to toe Florida ceiling and might call for a little extuals subsidy funds, in which case she and her husband both went from being not tried together to decide and they were going to be tried together again. And yo, yeah for sure, God please people to jail. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you think they're not? Tell me why you think them, because that's what I like to ask people.

36:30 Speaker 2: I never thought that anyone was going to jail. Like when they took gin Shaw, I was like what, when they took Karen, I was like what, Like, I don't know why. I just always think, like what this person is even.

36:47 Speaker 1: If anything, they're only taking them to jail. They're taking them to jail because we know who they are. They know you would say, what, you know?

36:56 Speaker 2: What?

36:59 Speaker 1: Like literally, some young, beautiful, like talented black woman is in South Florida going what at the idea of a famous person? We have to take them to jail so she simply will know that in Miami, her best damn behavior because if you so much has robbed thousands of elderly from their retirements. If you then subsequently decide to go on TV and brag about it, that's kind of the gag though, Kai you gotta see as long as you don't, you can do it a crime. Just don't go on TV.

37:41 Speaker 2: It's not that I disagree, It's just that I'm in shock. I don't know why every time so much gets sentenced, I'm like, wait, so they're actually going to jail.

37:55 Speaker 1: R Kelly, Well, okay, I actually get it. I get it.

37:59 Speaker 2: Well you talk.

38:00 Speaker 1: Okay that I get because that took like twenty years. I was like, he's never going. But I also was like I wouldn't care someone real life.

38:09 Speaker 2: Me and my okay, me is so funny, me and my I don't know how it came up, but me and my nephew were talking, oh because he was talking about like the didny thing that was on Netflix. So we're talking about like people in jail, and like, I'm like, he should have been in jail. Like he doesn't make any sense. So then me and my nephew confront another one of my family members. We're like, why did you guys allow R Kelly to be out for so long? They're like, because we don't have any any saying it. But I'm like, but if this was happening in our generation, do you know how much we would be on podcasts saying, Hey, this man just married a fifteen year old, can you guys like take him to jail?

38:48 Speaker 1: Like what was something about it?

38:50 Speaker 2: Back then? What the hell are y'all doing back then.

38:53 Speaker 1: That this was a while? Could you imagine the way that we love Alia now stand culture back then would have protected the ship out of her and been like, hello, look at how your people. Don't they be on that girl's past. They let girl, we love you? Why did you marry that man?

39:12 Speaker 2: Exactly?

39:13 Speaker 1: People at him Kelly a long time ago.

39:16 Speaker 2: You're right, yeah, Like, I'm like, what's going on? This would not stand if we were around, like even with people that we don't really care for. We want blue face back in Jill, even though we don't fuck with Krashan like that. So imagine if we were around when this shit was happening, like, absolutely not, your hoss is going down down?

39:37 Speaker 1: Yeah, and did he did? He did not to the amount that I thought in the court of public opinion, his career and his life is over. But four point five years or whatever he's gonna likely get out into. You know, is not that it's sometimes like it's fine, but justice for them victims. Okay exactly? And you know what else his that the footage? Sorry, fifty cent to produce the documentary. What were your thoughts? Did you see it? Are you going to? If you didn't, are you going to? Because I no, I haven't yet, Okay, because pd it.

40:22 Speaker 2: No, I love I do love the decent Yeah, exactly, Yes,

40:34 Speaker 2: long story short, Yes, I love that he did this. I understand everyone's point of he's taking down black men, but I'm just like, don't be doing that ship then

40:48 Speaker 2: well no I don't. Yeah, but that helps, if anything, it helps the victims, I feel.

40:54 Speaker 1: You know that's true, You're right about that. I mean, listen, people, a judge made it so that royalties from R. Kelly's music has to go to his victims for the literal restitution that he's ordered to pay.

41:10 Speaker 2: So it's just like even when people bring up okay, these they bring up for decent baby Mama accused him of doing something, I'm like, put that on the floor too.

41:18 Speaker 1: Call it like everyone needs to grow expose everybody, y'all, I don't have time to hate a bunch of.

41:24 Speaker 2: Men great, like, that's what I do. What are you talking about? But as far as I hate them, I haven't seen it because I'm not in that place right now. I'm in the place of I just watched Emily in Paris. I have started watchings I am in my delusional ear right now, like love or Girl.

41:48 Speaker 1: I love it.

41:49 Speaker 2: I don't want to see no crimes. I don't want to see no real people in real life, like I'm not into that right now. I will watch it eventually because everyone talks about it and I know that it's good, and I don't have a strong opinion of why he should or shouldn't have done it, and yeah.

42:10 Speaker 1: Hey, it's on the bottom of my true crime list because y'all aggress I put out a cute little pole thinking I was going to be roasting myself, asking y'all should I cover more true crime or stay in my lane? Ha ha ha. I did like two this year. Twenty twenty five was the year that I did true crime for the first time, and I did The Perfect Neighbor, a documentary that was excellent, and the Karen Reid Trial, and both were really fun. Because y'all don't know. I love me some true crime. It's probably the only thing I listened to outside of Bravo stuff.

42:45 Speaker 1: And my friends say I listened to my my podcast earlier. Is that I'm friends with true crime all day, every day. Didny's on the bottom of that list much because y'all didn't believe Cassie on time, and so I don't want to. I don't need to relive it because I believed Cassie on time, so I believed her when she said it. It never I believe it. I believed Don Richards on time when she said it. I believed Audrey Aubrio day when she said it on time. I believe women. So I don't need to put this at the top of my It's not shocking scandal jaw right to me because I believed it on time.

43:24 Speaker 1: Okay, exactly. That's been new, but I've been.

43:29 Speaker 2: And it's like and it's also like being in South Florida. Why do you think so many celebrities moved to Miami because they're doing terrible things here Star Island. If you'd invited to a party in Star Island, don't drink anything like well you have there's rules that you need to know when you come down. It's the devil's playground. Okay, So it's just the one who was young at one time in South Florida.

43:57 Speaker 1: No, yeah, we haven't heard Julia. Judy will tell you, Okay, she she han't found out.

44:06 Speaker 2: There, Julia, especially a Russian model.

44:11 Speaker 3: You know who was that?

44:13 Speaker 2: Who was that from New York? Was that in New York? The lady from New York who was like I was in the homes. I was in the homes of hip hop moguls, the homes.

44:23 Speaker 1: Who was Heather? Yeah? New York, asked Hollow Heather. You know a lot about her because she said on Ronnie that she was big ship to that man for years, but yet wasn't called on I want everybody to take a moment because I watched that Diddy trial every day, and when I couldn't stomach it, I read every transcript on time and watch the tiktoks. No Heather, No, Hollow Heather up and there.

44:52 Speaker 2: Going thinks about Diddy.

44:56 Speaker 1: And I know she can't say she is the.

45:00 Speaker 2: She's like the surrogate mom for the twins. So I understand she can't say anything, but God, I would love to have like, Yeah, what was that thing the Komora drink that she did which was so cool? Was it Mancha? It wasn't macha, but she had like khmora tee that she didn't.

45:17 Speaker 1: He's probably like I do believe that he I believe your daddy killed my best friend and your mama. Yeah, that's what I think she thinks. Yeah, because conspiracy theory. I think that I knew time's up. Time up. Time was up for Diddy when the supposed quote unquote love of his life died from pneumonia. But he's rich and she's healthy.

45:43 Speaker 2: Yeah.

45:43 Speaker 1: I mean, I know pneumonia can take out anybody, but let me tell you. I've had pneumonia myself three times in the last five years. I have multiple health issues. I get as I actually wasn't playing like hello, I'm like, oh wait a sec this mu and the good old antibiotics from the urgent care is getting me through pneumonia. You mean to tell me she can't get an IV drop this and that, especially when I'm hearing that Cassie had an IV drop every time she had a freak off and was forced to do tons of drugs and do sex with people.

46:20 Speaker 1: She didn't want to have sex with IV's were made available. This lady can get round o'clock care, but she dies from pneumonia as a supermano and eats vegetables.

46:28 Speaker 2: Me, I'm still here, Like it doesn't make any sense, but yeah, okay, what's next?

46:40 Speaker 1: Yeah, girl, she took the TVs off the wall and then flew back. That's where she fucked up. I'm sorry she should have taken the Bolli way out. If you're gonna take the TVs off the wall of the air allegedly overstage, you're welcomed in and then allegedly robbed. What Why did you not know that furniture wasn't yours to take off the wall for me? If I didn't put it on the wall, it's not mine to take off the wall. But again, Taurus, also lazy. I ain't moving shit. I ain't moving shit. It's at a very last moment I have to, especially if it's not mine.

47:12 Speaker 1: Took the TVs and stuff off the wall, took it to another storage unit or something, allegedly with this person partner whatever. This caper in the night flew her ass back to Atlanta. After she flew away, that is where you fucked up. Did you think the man was gonna come back to his house. Did you think he wasn't gonna notice his TV was off the wall? Did you think he wasn't gonna call the person and he was just gonna be like, maybe she took it, maybe maybe not. In which case, girl, they took her out of the terminal.

47:42 Speaker 1: They put the cuffs on her. She came out of the terminal, and I think it was frontier. But I want to hear your thoughts while I look up with airlines she was coming out, because that matters, because otherwise, what the fuck did you take the TV off the wall for that wast that? Like, if it's not the fly Delta, why take the TV off the wall? Listen after her failed relationship with Bobby Valentino to try to get herself back on Housewives Atlanta, and.

48:12 Speaker 2: You thought you were coming to Atlanta with that ship. I'll be damned. Don't you dare with this on my Atlanta when we allegedly possibly have Nini coming back into the stratosphere of Housewives, We will not have amya.

48:26 Speaker 1: I I don't want to ever see you again. I don't even Senior Leitha.

48:32 Speaker 2: Okay, you and Bobby Valentino and Benzino can all go to him in Atlanta. Thank you, because that ship was crazy to even read about. I love Atlanta too, I wonder if that's why. But I don't be doing crazy ship out there. I go to Papado and or to the Beyonce concert and to the hotel, listen to the movies.

48:57 Speaker 1: Okay, I a people. Very few people know this, but I'm announcing it here. You know that I'm young. I'm turning thirty but in the new year. I turned thirty in April. Very excited, but I'm also logistical, so I'm already planning my I tend to rare read. I got a couple people who are lined up to like, hey girl, Yeah, if the job don't call me, I'd love to come to scam Atlanta to have a ball. Let me tell y'all something. It's funny because I don't like Atlanta. Oh my god. I flew the fuck out of there when my wife was there for school.

49:37 Speaker 1: When we got engaged. I lived there for some time while she was there, and it really was a lot. Atlanta was tough in the twenty twenty nineteen through twenty twenty one, very wild place to live. With that being said, all of the people I love had decided that Atlanta is a place they need to go start over and get their lives and find a person Atlanta or you st everyone lives in Atlanta now and they do got good ass food and brunch and one of my favorite restaurants that is owned by a top chef alone is also in Atlanta.

50:09 Speaker 1: So I'm not getting a way to be putting me into self driving cars.

50:14 Speaker 2: They tried to send me in one having a good time. You should definitely go to Atlanta and it's gonna be fun, and you should go to the movies while you're there. Shout out to the Regal downtown. That shit's fire. Two story Regal anytime a movie theater stories amazing.

50:32 Speaker 1: I love that. So I'm looking forward to going to Atlanta, you know, depending that my wife doesn't have any other plans for us for my birthday, which I hugged out this is likely the one she's gonna settle on. But when it comes up and it's her idea, I'll be like, oh my god, guys are going into Atlanta. But I am accepting. Well wishes, high hopes. Now for the year of thirty. I already can feel my mindset shifting and leaving you girls in your twenties behind because y'all make weirdo decisions. And that's not to say I'm gonna make any better decisions upcoming, but I at least a'm want to think about the other decisions.

51:11 Speaker 2: Go through a second puberty in your thirties and it's like a cool one, you'll see.

51:15 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm into that. I can feel that, and I've been told that, and I feel like that feels really good.

51:21 Speaker 2: No one, and I'm like, wait, this is like that's cool. Yeah, it's it's weird.

51:28 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, self assured. Yeah, I'm hoping for I'm hoping for It's very cool. But okay, so it was me the last Saday for that, and I'm excited for twenty twenty six. Yeah me, it was the last one. You know, I like, I really wanted to end on crime. No, that's perfect, that was funny. Are you stand back on Bravo.

51:51 Speaker 2: Now starting you know the new year? Are you going to watch the Mary Cosby documentary thing? No?

51:59 Speaker 1: I've been very very upset and very clear that I think this is racist, both lol and not. I have a problem with them producing this one, but Heather gets to see Mormonism through the eyes of survival. I just find it very, very interesting. The skews that when I don't know, but it's just like the skew of religion. We're talking about the Mormon Church. Y'all want to make a whole it could be a whole thing many many documentaries. Mary's Church got like five hundred people. Eleven people that show up five hundred people in history.

52:43 Speaker 1: Can we calm down, we're calling her a cull leader. I'm just saying that's me, but I also religious and in a way that it could be called cultish. You're going to give it a shot, but.

52:56 Speaker 2: I just don't think that it's something that I want to clever just because I don't really like I'll talk about it, but I don't think that it's something that I'm like deep into. I don't think it needs to be investigated. I don't really think I think it's bigger fish to fry.

53:10 Speaker 1: I absolutely agree, and I wish it would fry that fish. But in the meantime, y'all, this has been a year. It has been an interesting when this was my first year back really into podcasting after some things and some changes and shifts after last year. We have, we fell, we grew, we did a lot of things. I have talked to and had new friends on this year. I've had old friends and fan favorites on this year, and I have some already, a lot of people lined up for January and February. Some new voices you have not heard before, some other voices you have not heard in a while or some years.

53:48 Speaker 1: I'm scrolling back, I'm like, damn, you were on in twenty twenty one, So I mean twenty twenty five was also the year that I forget what year I turned. I think five. Did your podcast also turn five or six?

54:03 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've turned five, had a huge celebration.

54:07 Speaker 1: Yes you did. Yeah. So twenty twenty five was a really big year for a lot of reasons. It seems like, if anything, we all overcame and I'm so proud of all of us for doing that. So if you're listening and you are at the end of this likely part two, then you know you made it. Girl. You survived. And we had a lot of things that kept us busy and distracted while a lot of other shit in chaos was happening around the world and around us. But there is no place I'd rather be than in my mixer with all of y'all, and no one I would rather have wrapped up the year with and run down all of the foolishness and that highlights with other than UK.

We're black and I'll have a wrap up coming out but mine is particularly just Bravo Black things that happen on Bravo.
