Speaker 1: Sounds struggling.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, Hello, beautiful and wonderful mixologists out there. It is your girl Moni and you are in the Mix with Moni. The show that is always always gonna touch on what you're talking about, what you're watching, what you're talking about that you're watching, and what you're watching that makes us all want to talk about it. If it's going on in your group chatting, you're sharing it with your girlies like oh my god, what the hell? We are probably going to talk about it as well. And that is why I had to bring the news journalism to the Mix today, true journalist, Finger to the Pulse, Heir to the streets, Mike to the people.
Speaker 2: Briefed by l is the handle l is her name El. Welcome back, Hi, how are you?
Speaker 3: Thank you? I'm good.
Speaker 4: I feel like I can be like Tom Cruise and like standing on the couch here, this is like home.
Speaker 3: You're always so nice to come here.
Speaker 1: I love that. No, we love you and listen like I.
Speaker 2: You're one of the unfortunately many talented content creators that I've known and come to know and love on the Internet that does all the amazing things. Started with a Bravo but sadly, all the good ones. It's just given.
Speaker 3: I'm Delulu.
Speaker 1: I'm the Rula. Do you know what?
Speaker 2: I'm the Rula because Ella is another one to bite the dust of all her great accomplishments and achievements. She has hit that that wall that all Bravo co creators hit unless you're like three people. But other than that, she's hit that wall and she cannot compromise the integrity of the content that she puts out. And Baby, she puts out the good content. Like, let me tell you sidebar, I've had real real people. I've had real people in my real life send me something from the internet, like a news something like, oh my god, did you see this?
Speaker 1: And it's you? And I'm like, did I see it? Did I see it?
Speaker 3: That's my sister?
Speaker 1: Are you getting you to get the first person to follow? L Wait?
Speaker 3: The moms at tennis just found out who I was.
Speaker 4: So funny story and y'all know this, Like when I take when I turn this mic off, right, like we go and we do real community work and we're out in the streets and all of that. Right, the kids know me as big as I am online. Baby, once I turn this camera off, I am Dallas's mother.
Speaker 3: That's Dallas's mom, that's Dallas's dad, it's not my ELP.
Speaker 4: So we're at tennis and I'm saying goodbye to the moms and one of the moms is on the phone. I said, oh, good seeing you because my daughter had been on vacation. So I was like, it's good seeing you again. I'll see you later.
Speaker 3: She goes, yeah, hold on a second or her phone. She goes, are you.
Speaker 4: This?
Speaker 3: This is gonna sound really weird, but are you?
Speaker 4: And I looked at her and I said, brief by L on social media, and she goes, okay, so it is you, Yes, mama, it is that's facts and it's true.
Speaker 1: Girly sent it to me. They're like, oh my god, you need to know this. Here the pop culture queen. I know. That's why I already do know it because I know L. You don't know L. You don't know L.
Speaker 2: I was like, now, also, that just outed you because if you would have been paying attention and listening to all the episodes that I told you and that you told me you were friends of mine, you know people you would have seen L's been by the mix many times. We've mixed it up many times.
Speaker 3: It's literally like twenty two many times.
Speaker 2: Baby back when the Hello it was housewives and hit chat and shout out o G. I was the one to put put that out there and remind them where we came from.
Speaker 4: This is You're not noted this, you are true to this. I think they too, They know exactly who I am. I was invited out in twenty to twenty three to Dance and Queens. That's how I ended up on the Bravo commercial and then nothing, It went dark, it went silent.
Speaker 3: Never heard from them.
Speaker 4: And then in September, right before Salt Lake City premiered, I made a post again like hey, like, why don't y'all invite me out? And the person over there reached out to me and was like, give me your email address, same one from before, but okay, here it is again. I did that event. I'm thinking, okay, great, maybe well whatever, No Traders comes and goes, Atlanta comes and goes the Vulture, anything that's happening at Bravo and not one email, and.
Speaker 3: It's like then to be turned down.
Speaker 4: In addition to that, they wouldn't let me into the media verse, and I had a like somebody ushered me in. They were like, this is my point of contact, point of contact, this is l you need her, please clear her for the media verse and they pussy footed all Married to Medicine season, and the week after the last reunion they sent me a sorry, no thank you email. We won't be letting you in. Yeah, they can be very peculiar, very picky, very I'll never forget it took I think until this past year. For the it's it's very much so if you're on the good side of some people select few, and you don't know what it is to.
Speaker 1: Do wrong or right.
Speaker 2: Wrong, right, been on the bad, the good, the beneficial, and then the gray bad again, and have just decided that It's just like I like talking about TV and getting my check a different way than the way I guess I should or could or yeah, so you gotta do was you know the content that works in it is best for you, and then you find other ways and ab me. That's why I like to be I like to say I'm a space for the X for the X Bravo mix. I like to be like, come, I know y'all still sometimes be watching or you will or you could or you will for me and that the people like you or like you know, I got some og mix all just to still listen from day ones, and I appreciate them so down so like I'll bring you to people that I know that we all know and love.
Speaker 2: I'll appreciate them and give them their flowers regardless of what any network does, because listen, I gave up trying to be like on the right. I'm just not on the side of the rights. And that's fine today this time, but also to know back and forth, it's kind of difficult anyway.
Speaker 1: I'm happy for the girlies to get to go.
Speaker 2: But I know for sure, I know of plenty of very successful and talented girlies who have not and that are not being have not ever gotten recognized to the point where they've also been pushed to that space of like no never.
Speaker 4: Reality recap Diana and Mayer, those girls put numbers on the board.
Speaker 3: And just like nothing, no nocount.
Speaker 2: Back in the day, I mean, Kendrick at the same a similar mindset of like, you know what, it's okay, like it's gonna be just fun. I'll hang on over to Love Island and the whatnots and the people that at least will want to talk to me.
Speaker 1: Where's that? So much?
Speaker 4: Rest June second, Love Island starts, I will be chatting. And also it's not fuck Bravo. It's not like I'm never talking about on this page ever.
Speaker 3: Again, it's just I can't.
Speaker 1: It's literally why have you here today?
Speaker 2: Because we know we still love, but we just you know, you've got to also when you're in a space of trying to monetize things that you make, and you're trying to grow channels and things like that, you have to also lean into the content that is doing the things.
Speaker 1: And that's just smart in the business like that.
Speaker 3: The content that I'm having fun doing.
Speaker 4: And again, like I said, it's just I remember when I first started, I was doing this is before you had to have a minute long content on TikTok to get paid. So I was doing four sixty second videos pert every episode, and Georgio says Georgia Rmiani was like, girl, don't already pay you better get them one hundred and twenty seconds in and out. Anything more than that, you're talking too much like for a recap at least, So I moved to that. So each recap was always a two parter and then I would go in and break down like individual issues.
Speaker 4: So there, For example, if I was doing a married to med recap, six videos easy, two of them might be official recaps and then the other four might be like conversations or like this, This particular video is about Simone and Cecil, this one is about Toy and Eugene, so things like that.
Speaker 3: So, like I said, it just it came to a.
Speaker 4: Point where if all six of those videos aren't even cracking any numbers in a content space. As much as I love having these conversations, I also had to remember.
Speaker 3: That this is still my job. But Love Island June second, bybe we in it?
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm talking about it, and I will be going over there to you, because that is they are not brothering my bread right now.
Speaker 2: So they are a luxury item for me to watch and appreciate, and I want to be tapped in. I will be tuning in to I'll probably I will wait fifteen to twenty episode twenty tax That's.
Speaker 3: What I do. But no tea, no shade. Friend.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you want to be a tone in that TikTok page, but Love Island, it'd be the quickest way to get your page monetized. I actually have a burner TikTok page, and when I first started Love Island, I was like, my audience doesn't care about this, like I've got adults over here. It turns out they do. But I've got adults over here. I'm gonna put it on my burner page. First video on the burner page, seventy thousand views.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's it's not the content. It's me.
Speaker 2: I'm too lazy for the hunger that I know Love Island viewers have.
Speaker 1: It's me.
Speaker 2: I'm the problem. I like it very very simple. I Love the Housewives for me is very passive. I can just watch it, come on here, chat with y'all and be like, all right, it's worked out for me. I don't need y'all to look over here no more, because I actually believe it or not. I'm not leaving my house.
Speaker 4: Funny enough, I forgot that if you invited me, I wasn't gonna go. It is a crazy and the way y'all go, these xes and everything out here, no meal, I won't be in the house.
Speaker 1: Ellen.
Speaker 4: Everybody gonna tell me what outside is like? So holy and listen.
Speaker 2: And please believe I'll be watching all the coverage, especially now seeing that our girl Sierra will be hosting after Son this upcoming season of Love Island, and she's so I'm all gonna also do Summer House. I would have liked this to be her exit, but they said that no, girl, we gonna get her. And I said that's good for her pockets, bad for her mental but whatever. But I'll be watching because maybe now I will watch after Son because y'all know famously, as much as I love to look at Maura, I could not watch more.
Speaker 3: I ain't watching no acters, so I'm not I'm not watching that.
Speaker 4: I'm not watching the after sign, I'm not watching the after show with the housewives.
Speaker 3: I'm not after the show.
Speaker 2: Go watch a lot of extracurricular for my extracurriculars, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I'm happy for that girl. Get the bag, tea, love that. A lot of things. Some news to come out of the Bravo.
Speaker 2: Technically it's the NBC Upfront, but it's really just a nice little clock, a check in for the ship, the shareholders of NBC and whatnot to be like, here's how your money is working out. Please give us some more find those advertisers. Here's the shows and the tea that we will be premiering of upcoming so that you can be excited about it.
Speaker 1: Things that are returnable.
Speaker 3: The realm of the Rhode Island girls. I'm so happy about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, House has of Rhode Island got themselves a season two a renewal for a new season. Only seven episodes aired as of this recording, and got to renewal pretty much at the sixth episode because the seventh, I think aired the same day that they were having these discussions exactly. So that is bigly good news for my Rhode Island girlies.
Speaker 1: But we knew that. But we knew that.
Speaker 3: By the end of.
Speaker 4: What she saying, he's a Wanza, He's the one, the onza.
Speaker 1: He wants what he wanted? What no.
Speaker 4: Wrs how she said she was messing up. Course, my husband has been saying it. It's actually been his vocal stem basic saying whors like the yeah, no, it's the weird w sound.
Speaker 3: It's a but Wanda. The girls are good. I didn't know. I obviously Rhode Island is like East Coast. I knew that. Don't Chris fight me. I just did not know that they gain.
Speaker 4: Like like like real East Coast, like Long Island, like yeah, like your work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're they're in there. They need that little town.
Speaker 4: They've got a long they're baby cousins of the Islands of New York.
Speaker 3: I just I didn't know they was giving it up like that. I said, excuse me.
Speaker 4: And then it also made me think, because did you ask the guilded age a little bit? I said, well, this is what y'all was going over there to do. Y'all was leaving parking and coming over because they was going to Rhode Island. Remember yeh had the house he was building out there.
Speaker 3: I was like, this is what y'all was. Y'all was out here partying.
Speaker 1: On No I like it.
Speaker 2: So some other news that came out and then we will definitely be talking Rhode Island. Bravo FanFest another way, at least a less expensive way for y'all to Bravo Con aka will be happening in Charleston. You will not be seeing my black behind there. Next Bravo con set is our next Bravo Con is set for fall of twenty twenty seven. But the Charleston Bravo thing fantastic happens this year. The way Love has been acting up, y'all can keep me. I won't be there and keep her and Emmy and all of those white people at Republic who don't know what the hell was going on, and non white but also non black, you can keep them away from me.
Speaker 1: Y'all have fun.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: I'll look at the pictures.
Speaker 2: Salt Lake City, Potomac, New York, and New Jersey all have been renewed. Jersey is filming six new women six.
Speaker 3: I met one of them.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's crazy, but it is giving that It is giving that Teresa, Dolores and Melissa will be the Dolores collectively of Rhode Island for this new New Jersey. They will be there to usher a, to be familiar faces. And I'm pretty sure the moment that Bravo and them, whatever production company this year they've got feels comfortable with the way the six are moving and being received, we will see less and less of those three. They're just here as a courtesy, like we couldn't do it without you, but we're not gonna keep doing it.
Speaker 2: You are no longer the fate of New Jersey.
Speaker 3: I'll say that that's it.
Speaker 1: Nia Judice will be the fate of New Jersey.
Speaker 2: We will never hanger it on there again because honestly, you're gonna have to do something brand new, because I at the moment at present, I don't need it. I'm not excited about it at all because I have Rhode Island. I like it so much. I don't know what to do the accent.
Speaker 1: I'm good. This is all I needed.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 4: I don't have any notes for those girls. I don't need them to do anything more. I don't need them to do anything less. If I could get a message in a bottle to them, I would say, to the best of their ability, to stay off social media during the off season, if you can come back as close to authentic and green as possible, because I do believe one of the things that we like about Rhode Island is the fact that they didn't know they were filming.
Speaker 3: A housewives show.
Speaker 4: So they knew they were filming a show, and I do believe that they knew it was for a rival, but they did not know that they would be housewives. So I would like to see them not turn into some of the like bad theater acting that we get out of.
Speaker 3: The housewives on other franchises.
Speaker 2: No, keep it exactly the way you are. You ladies are doing the phenomenal. Keep it just like this, and who knows what the future will hold. Okay, I'm so happy for them.
Speaker 1: I love them. I think that they uh for those for girls who.
Speaker 2: Didn't know that they were going to be housewives, they clocked in like housewives pros. This is about. These are pro level. It took four seasons to get to this level of Salt Lake City. Okay, I feel like we're they like I they for real, squat, they're doing their jobs.
Speaker 1: They I've never seen.
Speaker 4: An I like to leave out of conversation when we talk about housewives, But I digress.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's that soap opera actress center of your baby. You're gonna show up every time as long as Okay, like, you can't play My nana will tell you, don't play with Leen.
Speaker 1: My nana will tell you, don't play with Eileen.
Speaker 3: She wasn't to be played with. She was not She.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't even know who I'm talking about, but she would go. If that's the third you're talking about, don't play with her. I don't need to see her on the screen. One time, I'll be like m because they're clear. Okay, we speaking of old baddies. Lisa vander Pump just will not stop being employed her. She got a new series order, another one for her Las Vegas called vander Pump Rules Lisa Las Vegas. Now, maybe I'll give that one a try because I have no ties to that area of television show, like of a concept of cast.
Speaker 1: So there's nothing for me to miss or for them to redo and butcher like they have done Van Pump Rules to make my opinion, So maybe we'll see. Really, Also, we don't confirmed. Do we know if Garcel's son is still working over there.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Only thing I know about Garcel is that she got that audible book that I got to download today.
Speaker 1: She does.
Speaker 2: She also has a new movie or show coming out, but she's a part of garfiall stay working. I've never seen a busier lady. It's like she gave up being a housewife and got bore work.
Speaker 4: I feel like we always talk about how, no truly how being a housewife can either be like a trampoline or like a ship anchor, like it goes one or two, truly, and I think she got on here and she bounced because no matter what her resume was before, she was inactive.
Speaker 3: And I don't mean this.
Speaker 4: Is shade, but people weren't checking for Garcel prior to her signing with The Housewives. She signed to the Housewives, she did what she was supposed to do. She got and she got her fame, and she got the fuck out. She got her little deal with Lifetime. She'd be making her little movies like Tommy Braxton.
Speaker 2: Okay, some things. She's been on a lot of things for I've been seeing her everywhere.
Speaker 4: But she was inactive, just like Kenya was inactive before Kenya signed on The Housewives. Like they had a long resume before, but then they had some gaps in it, which is okay, Like that's life to be an actress or a model and to think that you're going to work all forty years of your career, you're an anomaly, Like who the fuck are you? Heidi Klum No, although Garcel could be a little black guy could be, but they weren't treated her.
Speaker 1: No, But I am acting now now she yet now she's doing it.
Speaker 2: She's got so much work, she's gotten so much production, She's done so many things.
Speaker 1: Netflix and it's lifetime.
Speaker 2: The girls who pay money, the girls who have checks to write, and she's been employed by them all and that's good for her. Some other people, okay, some of the people were still getting employed, and I'm happy to see it. Summer House was renewed Southern Charm, not so much The Valley Persian Style, which I thought was a really good show. So I'm happy about that. Married to Medicine, of course, Wife Swap. Real Housewives edition is coming back. Below Deck down under Top Chef. I love Top Chef, y'all know I watch that every Monday.
Speaker 1: Don't even play with me.
Speaker 2: The Carolina season excellent. Below Deck coming back. Watch What Happens Live though I thought no one was watching, but it is also being renewed because where else would be get shady sound bites of Housewives on Monday after they went on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll take it.
Speaker 4: But also they I'll take it quiet, But could they not because I actually need Kelsey to go on there and say stuff, it's so silly, but not about nobody else, just about herself. Well, okay, so I don't watches are I don't watch house I don't watch so I can't speak to those things. I watched the Virsion Valley Why I just started Top Chef.
Speaker 2: SA Summer House is probably the most anticipated now return show of the year.
Speaker 4: And my co host will be watching it, so we will be covering it on She's Got New Shameless Plug comes out every Wednesday at seven pm on YouTube and Facebook.
Speaker 3: She will be covering it. She's completely upsessed.
Speaker 4: I cannot watch babies, and that is so crazy because my husband's like, you can't watch babies, but you can watch.
Speaker 3: Fifty year old women babies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the mom most of them are older than me.
Speaker 1: Kyle Cook is forty plus.
Speaker 3: No way, I think that might have made it worse exactly.
Speaker 1: Carl is just.
Speaker 2: Hubard is forty. I think the young ones are my age now. They're ninety six, ninety fives.
Speaker 1: Amanda is thirty two like this and doing crazy things.
Speaker 2: Yes, Sierra is younger, but I think even Sierra is thirty. She's thirty, so I old enough to know better. She don't look she bathes.
Speaker 4: You just got you got to find you some discernment nowadays people. You got to be able to look at people. And easy classification is hand washers and non hand washers.
Speaker 2: I just feel like after that beach scene, she went back to the house and got in the bed, and I think that needs to be said, that needs something needs to be said about that. And it's only but so Hargh observed exactly even cherish you.
Speaker 1: She can't value you. If she don't value you.
Speaker 4: For damn self, I'll be tailing her burken bag. And I'm saying to trust you with.
Speaker 2: I don't trust anyone with her heart, bitch. I don't trust you with your own body. Why would I trust you with see?
Speaker 4: Okay, because when I look at her, I read all of that, like I just a picture of her, and I expected the story to be what it was like.
Speaker 3: There are some people you look at the meat that why not one seems so nice? No, this one seemed like she did exactly what they said she did.
Speaker 2: And I think there is a moment that again clips and bites that has recently surfaced of Mia, the other black woman on the cast. You know that's Rihanna's best friend's friend. So is the Rihanna knows about Sierra because of this girly here Mia, and because Rihanda loves Prova, love that Farr and so she has been trying to hook her up, but Mia was clocking Amanda sounding fake, phony and unbathed, unclean and going.
Speaker 1: You can see her. You know what that look is when your mama don't like somebody you.
Speaker 2: Ever seen when you was growing up, and you're like, my mama don't like that person that she is talking to.
Speaker 4: She but she was so nice. She don't like you. She I don't think she likes you at all.
Speaker 2: I don't think you want to I think you actually want to stop talking to her. I think you should walk away. I think you want to walk away. Bersonly, I really thought was gonna walk away. But Bravo likes to keep abusers on tab. Jeff Lewis still flipping out is coming to Bravo in twenty twenty six. Jeff Lewis is, well, I mean, you know what, let me say this. Let me not put it on Jeff, because y'all gonna be like, but y'all love Rachel Zau on Beverly Hills. Well, I like Rachel Zeaux on TV. I think she's a quirky, wild, very eclectic, small mouthed woman.
Speaker 4: But I think Jeff a male version or yeah, you can school me on that. I don't know anything about Brad.
Speaker 2: All I know is Brad through a fit her ex assistant when she was casted and is being repainted in this like new natural light. She used to have her show on Bravo kind of doing what Jeff was doing.
Speaker 1: Before Jeff was even doing it.
Speaker 2: Her show, she would just be yelling at her assistance, being abusive, having unrealistic expectations, much mainly to Brad Goreski, who ended up having his own show on Bravo. But like you know, I remember that people like it. They liked her, so that's why they and they liked Jeff.
Speaker 3: So like I mean, Jeff was like questionable to the.
Speaker 1: To like his.
Speaker 4: His like house made or whatever. Yeah, he was questionable. Then looking back, I just always see. My thing is sometimes I oscillate between you know, how many checks and balances people things have to go through to end up on television if y'all put it up here for who am I to not laught like you know what I mean or do not whatever. But then the other hand, that is like, okay.
Speaker 3: Well when do we change the tune?
Speaker 4: So I do understand that I would like to see Jeff Lewis on Traders.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of Traders, is actually going to have a civilian version? Would you watch that? They're coming out with one this fall? That a rebellion, not on Peacock. That is work being said. The civilian version will be on the NBC. Oh, that is gonna It feels like The Apprentice to me, but like better and not like but just look in general, like I have to care about random people again, Well, I care.
Speaker 4: About random people every summer because I watch Big Brother.
Speaker 2: So I was not in a Trader's space because I felt like when I first watched the first season of Traders, and they did both celebrity and civilians, the celebrities weren't the hard part I had about watching that season. It was the civilians. It was hard. But I also understand that people wanted to see like Survivor. They want to see regular people kind of go at it and be witty. But they don't want their real dreams and things to go up against people who are celebrities who have already had a chance to make money for themselves or whatever.
Speaker 2: So I get why that didn't work, and I could see it working. I just want to home be less bored without a That's me. I feel that way. I want traders at least one drag queen.
Speaker 4: Now, well, the drag Queens haven't even been making it, so I can't like I am.
Speaker 1: They don't make it past three episodes exactly.
Speaker 4: I enjoyed Peppermint was good, the money exchange was good. I welcome them many times, but they haven't been making them number one, but number two.
Speaker 3: I get, I get, I get it, I.
Speaker 4: Get why season one didn't work out, But I also feel like Andy forgot that she was playing a game.
Speaker 4: You know that you're playing against them, and so yess, have these people played Big Brother? And have they played a survivor? And maybe they have the idea of how to strategize.
Speaker 3: On a show a little bit more. But this is both of y'all's first time playing it.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Granted, somebody like Banana, somebody likes Suri, they got to also compete against somebody who knew equally as much as them in order to make that name. So I do, like I said, I do get both sides. But also maybe it's a game.
Speaker 3: Can you competer? Can you not compete?
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to just you know how I feel about this past season of Traders. But at the very most, I'm like, I'm mostly happy and concerned about who they're gonna put on the new season of the Celebrity One. That's what I want to know it is it gonna be a more comparable season.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I love the bond that comes out of there afterwards every time, and so it'll be it'll be interesting to see.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Some final notes from the from the Upfronts is next. N YC is getting a second season. The la Version has not been announced yet. I think it'll be uh canceled after Calabasas Confidential. We just kind of came out or is coming out soon. Masterpiece, Daughters involved, and some real heavy hitters that it's gonna make it really hard for me to care about another Bravo person.
Speaker 4: We are trying a second Texas show. That's what I came here to say.
Speaker 2: Today I was doing I've been listening to my episode last week with Mark. I actually said, I think if you find a black woman in Dallas and go and find their friends, her friends, we would have less of a problem with the racist banter up front at least one and two in Dallas. I mean I lived there even for a little bit, but like, you can't be any other person who's not white and not have at least one white friend and your friend group if you are connected, so we would get something for everybody.
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe we.
Speaker 2: Are lucky and we have got something in the works that won't piss us off the same way the Households of Dallas did. In this upcoming show, Secret Lies Texas Wives. That is the working title of the Texas Bravo show.
Speaker 1: I like it too.
Speaker 2: I think it's took their answer to the Mormons Secreliza Mormon Wives situation, which you already know. Secualized Mormon Wives is getting a second or a spinoff of that as well, while they are also now filming season five, they're filming the next season, and they're getting a spinoff for OC, much of which apparently have you heard. Now, this is the last sidebar I'll make because I know we got to get into the roal South.
Speaker 1: This is not important.
Speaker 2: But do you know what this white podcaster that they're calling an industry plant, but she's gonna be on secrelizing my mom's OC and I guess so she had a live podcast event last night or so recently, and the girls were up on the stage twerking, and it was like, oh God, Mormons talking in jeans like fully covered. But let golm down, Bobby I all talk or Bobby our song.
Speaker 4: They've been calling her an industry plant for a long time. I do want to say that I saw those girls quote.
Speaker 3: Unquoteworking on stage.
Speaker 4: It was not that they were having a seizure and y'all having this workoff. Somebody should have called nine one one something was wrong. If I ever do that with my body, please get me medical tension, because that is not twerking, and that see, that's what happens.
Speaker 1: Though.
Speaker 3: Get on your stage and do your fucking dance.
Speaker 1: You're on this.
Speaker 4: All white show where there's no black people, and you can call that because of the neighborhood. You can call it because of the network. You can call it whatever you want. Right there's no representation here. We don't got no black girls, we don't have no black content creators in the building.
Speaker 3: Y'all get on stage and do your Mormon jad what.
Speaker 2: You're working for because they want to show that Mormons.
Speaker 1: O Kelly, I wouldn say what are the Mormon rules about twerking?
Speaker 2: Because Heavigaye said and her daughter's getting reared with the show as well for Bravo or for NBC and Peacock a microdrama. So it's Madison Lacroix, all weird people with very limited personalities. But like Evia Gay said that they don't like black culture and black things in a Mormon church, So I'm just confused.
Speaker 1: Is also, then what are y'all to work to? Did you twork to in your garments? And what to? What music? Because they don't like hip hop? I heard? So then what did you talk to Morgan while.
Speaker 2: Jelly World the Veronica's untouched Shaboozy, I got the words is in the bag? That's little nass, But still that's funny him too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, they don't have to skip creep and whatnot when the telc come on.
Speaker 1: They don't feel the same crime. But I just didn't like. I never heard of this Bobby girl, and all of a sudden, everybody's telling me, Bobby is something.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you when I run away from Drake interviews, I want to ray from anything Drake.
Speaker 4: I run away Bobby has interviewed, and this is why they were calling her an industry plant. She just came out of with Suki Hannah. She I feel like that came out of nowhere. Well the show, but again that that came from her viral interview with Sukiana because she hadn't interviewed offset a Lil Yati. She was doing everybody, so her whole thing is like being aloof and not knowing what her guests do. Her and her offsets interview was like in the bed and she like pretends to like not know.
Speaker 3: So it's like, so you're a trap artist. What's that which trap or you you know the you know the audio when it's like say.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 4: What they be like say I'm not messing with you, bitch, and then the girl be like I'm not messing with you, bitch, and a girl like say it with your chest.
Speaker 1: That was her.
Speaker 4: And in one of them other girls that was their interview. Oh good for her. Well, I'm glad she's now a Mormon wife.
Speaker 3: She us this over there.
Speaker 4: She actually started off married when she was doing all of these interviews and all of this.
Speaker 3: I believe she's a mom. And then she got.
Speaker 4: Popping and she started taking around all the black people and all of a sudden she was getting a divorce.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I'm just telling you what it looked like why and she on the Mormon wise, But I don't know, girl, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Because if you two are light skinned with blind hair, the world can be yours.
Speaker 2: That's all I want, just one day. Honestly, in real life, I just want to be. I don't even need to be. I don't want to be an industry plan. I just think that people like that gotta work too hard if I had to be any white woman, because you know, my goal in life is for one day, if we ever get to that level of science, I just want to be a white woman for one day, run around, reacavi it come back. You know, nobody knows the wiser. Just for one day, it would apparently it would just be to be. I would be Alicia on Housewives of Rhode Island.
Speaker 2: I just want to be Alicia, with the smart, with the caveat of not being a heterosexual, because that makes the brain power lower over there, apparently. The Although I understand her, and especially in watching this latest episode of Housewives of Rhode Island, I understand why she has not married that man yet. Like now it's all starting to make sense. She got big, big, big bad abandonment issues from her dad. I don't think a therapy's running rampant on the island of Rhode Island with these Italian ladies.
Speaker 1: I don't think. So I realized terrible moms I.
Speaker 2: Have a hard time dealing with, and I am more sensitive to, maybe because I'm just so like I don't want to judge, and I was like, how could you do that? Like, for instance, watching Rhode Island this week, Joe Helen talking about her mom sending her away multiple times for quote unquote being promiscuous, but not to places that made sense, like so there was like a no leg to stand on, like to rehab, drug rehab, what
Speaker 2: reform schools? Not just her since her sister away too, what's really giving.
Speaker 1: I can't bear looking cute? I don't know.
Speaker 2: She labeled hers out of control, though Joe Ellen was completely uh. She said she had straight a's. She wasn't doing anything the farious or sexually active, but her mom thought that she was or could be, so she sent her away. One of the places that she sent her to the rehab sent her back and said after a week, like we can't help her. We don't know what she's here for. She's wasting a bed. We're gonna have to send her back home. And so Mama try that again. And it wasn't until the state got involved and was like, all right, if you want us to basically like psychold her or take her, you will not have well, we'll have custody.
Speaker 2: She'll be a ward of the state. And because mom didn't want to lose custody, she said, mmmm, because then you can't claim her on your taxes.
Speaker 3: She said, it's not that deep.
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, All of a sudden, Joellen wasn't a terrible girl, wasn't a bad kid. I was like, No, what's going on here. I don't understand that at all. Why have kids if you hate them?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: For tax reasons, Okay, other people tell you.
Speaker 4: Should because other people say you do it too. Pregnancy pack. It's a bunch of people to have kids for a bunch of different reasons. And they was not prepared to be mothers, They were not prepared to be parental.
Speaker 3: They were just prepared to have a baby shower and a gender reveal.
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, I don't get it. They just wanted the parties and.
Speaker 3: Or they thought it was and they not ready to get married.
Speaker 2: I've seen like also, especially back then, you know, the older generations. I'm like, oh, y'all also just thought it was the natural next step, like got married. I am an adult, need to have children, that's the next step. That's what I'm supposed to do in society, to be like, you know, in the right step. But then you were presenting those kids because it sounds like you had them when you did not want them, weren't ready for them, just thought you it was a time.
Speaker 1: And kids really hate feeling unwanted and being shown that.
Speaker 4: Because Joe Ellen's a tough broad now she is out here seeking to destroy any family in their wake. Okay, I think that doesn't seem normal. Okay, but it's like people forget that adults were once kids too, and these babies did not ask to be here. And honestly, I'm sorry, as far as I'm concerned, if you end up pregnant and you don't want that baby, don't have that baby.
Speaker 3: Don't have that baby.
Speaker 4: I'd rather dollars for Plan B or whatever, five hundred if you go and have it at a clinic. I just you know, there are things that we can work on, but don't bring a human being into this world if you are not prepared to the best of your ability to love.
Speaker 3: It, get kissed, feeded. And then again, let's be real about what the best of your ability is.
Speaker 4: You might want to give it all over over, but if you only make five thouars have it to give.
Speaker 3: If Johnny has for apples.
Speaker 1: He gottahn.
Speaker 3: We gotta be real. We gotta be real about what we're creating. And then when you look and.
Speaker 4: You're like, oh, it's pissing a dating pool because it was a bunch of parents out here that made little man be a man at four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't understand, Like, but you had me like where I was like, I don't think that Joe Ellen is just talking about herself, or she might. It's between her and her mom. It's hearsay her sister being sent away too, and Alicia being like, yeah, we all wondered where the hell they went, Like they just like up and left in the middle of the year, and we all just didn't talk about it.
Speaker 1: They got sent away, but we had no parents. When will hello?
Speaker 2: And now there are documentaries in camp and films being made about all of these places all over the world. So please absolutely stop having these kids if you don't like them, if you don't want them, if any part of you was like, I'm gonna resent the hell out of these children for making me blud just wait, because they will wear that, they will carry it, what have it until their adulthood. Joellen is literally on a TV show now successful Mary, mom of her own, moved on, fully accomplished, owns a home, has a career and a side hustle.
Speaker 2: Still deeply impacted, Still a menace, still a menace. Her impact is impacting others, okay, because let me tell your baby. And I'm glad that her and Alicia were able to bond on that because Alicia is like, maybe you don't know that my husband just my father just left me without a home. But he like left like we lost our home at and moveing with our grandparents. It wasn't that we were on the street homeless, except my home was gone. Mom, Dad's siblings in my house, gone out of that house. Didn't know why Siper were going on a little vacation, never went back.
Speaker 1: I'd be pissed. Yeah, my god, that's painful.
Speaker 4: And then she didn't even see her daddy no more then daddy left.
Speaker 1: He just gets to disappear. No, ma'am, what kind of time by a.
Speaker 4: Lot of men that get to disappear, or the fact that the disappear is chrazactly.
Speaker 1: That Pard, what do you mean disappear?
Speaker 2: Sidebar a lot of smoke, And I know I'm not going to get into the ins and outs of why we should have so much smoke for Nick Cannon, but Nick Cannon is saying reason I literally do not talk about that man because he is so dumb. He says the dumbest shit, and the dumbest really got me tight yesterday when he was like when they asked him what is he doing for his kids for their moms for Mother's Day? He got twelve kids, six moms, he said, what I will be with my mom. It's not baby Mama's Day, actually, sir, the fuck it is what literally, they are mamas of your kids, so it is also baby Mama's I've never heard such stupid.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to call it nigga logic because it was so dumb.
Speaker 2: I was like, that's a level of stupidity and rolling stoniness that I don't think I even want to give to the majority of the term.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying for the collective base, that's not fair.
Speaker 3: He's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: What one person that I could always point back to make he rest in peace?
Speaker 3: Shoddy Low. You would have to do your internet research.
Speaker 4: But back in the day before Shoddy Low passed away, they were doing a reality series of because he also had a bunch of kids like Nick, Cannon and Future and all of that.
Speaker 3: He had X amount of kids with X amount of baby mamas.
Speaker 4: And they were filming they had done like a pilot and was trying to pitch a reality show of all of these women. Like I think some of them lived in the same household, if I'm not mistaken. But they were all literally just coming together for the betterment of the kids, right, like these are your siblings. How do we make sure this? That and the third? And of course there was drama in it. But I say all of that to say, if you're gonna have twelve kids and six bade mamas, maybe their first baby mama not coming, but you're supposed to get an airbnb, you know.
Speaker 3: And invite everybody out branch at the.
Speaker 4: State, Like that's what it's supposed to get so that everybody could be in the same place with all of these signals and all of that.
Speaker 1: Because the bombs go to the hotel, Yeah, he got them.
Speaker 3: You should have rooms set up in every room of the thing.
Speaker 4: He should have just booked a wing honestly at the reds or the four season five up there.
Speaker 3: Sent her some purple flowers and satisfier.
Speaker 1: That is fair.
Speaker 2: And this is why I have kids. It's not because what he said was just so stupid. Again, like I said, I'm using the Cannon sing stupid things. It's actually because of the psychological backhanded damage that he did to his child, his twins.
Speaker 1: Morale Can Monroe.
Speaker 2: I think Monroe got in trouble on the internet recently and he I know this because Nick Cannon talked about it and he should not be taught about it.
Speaker 1: Took me because it's his fault.
Speaker 2: But Marugan on the trouble got in trouble recently because she said that she has one sibling, and Nick Cannon was like, yes, she learned that you know the internet, you know they're not too forgiven, and that they don't like when you say, but sir.
Speaker 1: She has one was saying, you missed what she was saying.
Speaker 2: She feels like she has one sibling, and she feels this way because what have you done to foster the relationship between her other siblings.
Speaker 1: You are the.
Speaker 2: Parents, You are the only parent of her other siblings. She can only have a relationship with the miners that her parents infiltrate, like allow her to and orchestrate her seeing and having a relationship with and right now her mom orchestrates her having a relationship with her twin.
Speaker 4: Does it would it be nice if Mariah reached out to them other women?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 3: Mariahs jab Absolutely not.
Speaker 4: No, it's not because she didn't ask you to have six other babies mothers and make a ten other siblings for your child and the unit to be in charge of.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Mariah. I can only speak for myself.
Speaker 4: Right, if I was in that situation and my kid's dad made some sort of effort, right, I'm going to pick up the two kids and take them over to Da da. If there was an effort being made by the dad, I wouldn't have a problem meeting him because then my kids would have a relationship with their siblings. So then I wouldn't mind saying, hey, mom of my kids siblings, the kids are having a party, Can they come over?
Speaker 3: Can we send a driver to pick them up?
Speaker 4: Da? Da dad?
Speaker 3: Because the dad would have done the work to forge a relationship.
Speaker 4: And that I don't mind maintaining at all, ever, But to ask me to pick up the church you have. My kid has ten other siblings and now you want me to single handedly reach out to them and then met the ex wife beat.
Speaker 3: The reason that all ten of these kids have a relationship with my two kids.
Speaker 4: I PREMI sure, I'm not doing that, and you're gonna dad woman and all of that, but I promise you.
Speaker 2: Because it's but it's not her responsibility. It's not the child's responsibility. She's expressing herself based on the experience and some life that she has because of the relationships that she has, based on the parenting that you're doing.
Speaker 1: You are the adult in the room, and why you.
Speaker 2: Are talking to us about how the internet is on your child's behind when why does she even have access to people and people having access to her? Where is your Ziah Wade Instagram set ups? Where came Nobody respond to that shot on the internet except for that happy.
Speaker 1: John Wyaane and James Bolden. That's it.
Speaker 3: That's all that page they got brother Dan.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's low I don't know who. They call it an Instagram, but they said not my child.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm like, I don't understand why this is even something that I'm hearing about.
Speaker 1: It just was giving bad parents, which I know I'm real sensitive to that.
Speaker 3: Oofs.
Speaker 2: It's the dedicated educator in me. Let's move on. That's it. Not too much left on Rhode Island. I really just was like, it's shocked and amazed that not one. Not only did we have a lot of tears, fights and cries, like why is Ashley crying? We still don't know. From the moment we start, I'm laughing to the moment we end, I'm not laughing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you mean? Rula? Her husband?
Speaker 2: She not coming because they got real proof this time, and the girls don't really know what to do with it.
Speaker 1: They're like, uh oh, what do we do?
Speaker 3: Respectfully to Rula, I can't wait to see this play out?
Speaker 1: And I mean I can't either.
Speaker 4: I mean that with so much respect because person the person, wife the wife.
Speaker 3: This shit sucks.
Speaker 4: But I'm also witnessing a lot of drop balls on Rula's fault. That is preventing me from crying crying for her, Argentina.
Speaker 1: Hold on, Oh yeah, I'm not really crying for Rula. You're right.
Speaker 4: So word on the curb if you keeping up, is that Ruler's husband was married, and Ruler was the Niko heart in this situation. Okay, And so if you know Nico, if you know that you got you a cheated cheat of pumpkin eater, right, every time you give me fifty dollars twenty five shit going into account that, don't get your name on it. You could be out here with these people. My job was to make it so that I never care and to be vertically integrated. My name is gonna be on some of this shit. Yeah yeah, big dog.
Speaker 3: We splitting it. Oh, cutting Stract.
Speaker 2: Don't walk that line until he puts your name on it. Otherwise you're not signing shit. Don't sign shit. No paperwork, no prenups, no marriage contracts, get your name on some stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, Ruler, you're right. I mean, how you get him and how you lose them. We've seen it, we've seen.
Speaker 2: It, but now this girl's making it very public of how she's you know, losing it. They she filmed everything from it will Never Stop to amaze.
Speaker 3: Me, you leave to cheat.
Speaker 1: It couldn't wait, Oh, it can't wait. And now it's a storyline.
Speaker 2: And next episode we're gonna find out what there is that is they're gonna do. They they've all seen the footage and they, you know, have tried to warn Rula like it's coming out. Really it's talking and your husband is in fact cheating on you. I'd love to see how she talks her way out of this one. But I know that I'm slid on my way like that bright yellow tacky water slide outside of that big old Newport mansion that I will be going to one day.
