Field Dispatch
$92M Birthday and Farewell Twirl
Field Notes
Mani took a little break to find some joy (and employment) and she has succeeded in both! The joys and woes of the current state of the world, state of RHOA, and state of Bravo is discussed with Elle Murasaki (Briefed by Elle). Elle, covering everything from politics to pop culture, and Mani try to giggle about the ridiculous things occurring in dc from tariffs to tanks, the captivating scripted tv and competition shows that are being binged, and the way Kenya Moore twirled on the haters and right off the deep end. Did Bravo do too much? Did Kenya? Does it matter how it will affect the season? Can Phaedra save us?! Who knows. Let's chit chat and mix it up.

Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Hello, all you beautiful and wonderful mythologies out there.
Speaker 1: It is your girl, Moni.
Speaker 2: You're in the mix. I'm the here, I'm the here.
Speaker 2: Lots has been going on the bravosphere not so much,
Speaker 2: but life sphere a lot, a lot, and in this case,
Speaker 2: I need it like the world is on fire, seemingly
Speaker 2: like that seems to be kind of what's happening. I mean,
Speaker 2: nothing's changed since the first time they called on fire
Speaker 2: a few months ago, but it does feel like the
Speaker 2: fire is coming from so many directions now, and nobody
Speaker 2: knows what to do or who's gonna get burned next.
Speaker 2: So what do we do? We disassociate, and when we can,
Speaker 2: we just laugh at what, you know, what's happening until
Speaker 2: we're completely I don't know, gone crazy, yelling at people
Speaker 2: on the internet all the things that are already still true.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: But what I do know is big things are happening,
Speaker 2: both in the political world and.
Speaker 3: Big things are happening in the whole world, specifically of
Speaker 3: the house side of Atlanta, and I for one, am
Speaker 3: literally so conflicted and overwhelmed by both. It's keeping me
Speaker 3: up that night almost equally about whether or not Kenya.
Speaker 3: More should be gone off of Atlanta and what is
Speaker 3: this of Atlanta?
Speaker 2: And like will we be able to get anything from
Speaker 2: another country ever again? Or is my next phone going
Speaker 2: to be one hundred thousand dollars? Who knows more on that?
Speaker 2: You know as we as we continue to talk. And
Speaker 2: that's why I had the girl who literally does it all,
Speaker 2: who mixes it all the way up. You can you
Speaker 2: get briefed by her every time. I have al Marisaki here,
Speaker 2: and she has the team for all the things political,
Speaker 2: all the things gossip, all the things TV and all
Speaker 2: of those things are happening right now. So happy to
Speaker 2: get it on here. Thank you so much for coming on,
Speaker 2: l Hi, I.
Speaker 4: Thank you for having me Hie to all the beautiful mixologists,
Speaker 4: I am pop culture on politics is my love language.
Speaker 2: So yes, no seriously, and I often forget it's so
Speaker 2: overwhelmed and then like I can't remember focus on anything
Speaker 2: for too long. But that's literally how I started. When
Speaker 2: I first started mixing with money, I was like equally
Speaker 2: as riveted by watching Sea Span as I would be
Speaker 2: by watching like watch what Happens Live. I mean it's
Speaker 2: the same, like the reunion of Housewives is also a
Speaker 2: c SPAN vote or a hearing, like have.
Speaker 4: You ever seen a hearing of someone getting confirmed? Like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, it's It's worse than any grandma. I
Speaker 4: turn on CNN. I tell my husband.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, I'm turning on my most favorite
Speaker 1: reality show.
Speaker 2: Yes, because I'm saying hello to the girls. I'm saying
Speaker 2: what's there.
Speaker 4: I'm saying what they're getting into because they are scrapping.
Speaker 2: There, so it's so ghetto. Whoever, I'm like, who is
Speaker 2: someone like who wants to fight with Jazz and Crackett today?
Speaker 2: That's where I'm always at, like who wants to the
Speaker 2: smoke who? And then when they when they start in fighting,
Speaker 2: which has like been happening lately, I'm like, oh.
Speaker 4: Dad, wait Ooh the infighting is what does me up
Speaker 4: the most because I am like, if y'all act like
Speaker 4: this and you know that we can see you, imagine
Speaker 4: how they was in there cutting up before the technology
Speaker 4: allowed us to see.
Speaker 2: Them exactly exactly. So there's like there's so much going
Speaker 2: on in the world, y'all. I am overwhelmed in so
Speaker 2: many ways, but like I can't turn away, so we
Speaker 2: just like navigate going in and out of those spaces.
Speaker 2: You know, you see we keep rubber necking. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: keep rubber necking. You know. You turn on one series
Speaker 2: and there's you know, a terrace for everywhere from here.
Speaker 2: It's wrong. You turn on another series the next day,
Speaker 2: and then you maybe know terrafs and maybe just a
Speaker 2: couple or you know, maybe a little bit here, a
Speaker 2: little bit there, and you really don't know what you're
Speaker 2: doing if you're going up or you're going down. I
Speaker 2: made the mistake of opening my cutesy little teacher retirement
Speaker 2: and that was my mistake. I'll never do that again.
Speaker 4: So when they first started talking about terroriffs right the
Speaker 4: very like first day, once he was already in office.
Speaker 4: There is a white Republican guy that they let on
Speaker 4: CNN a lot, and the girl asked him, well, what
Speaker 4: do you say to people who are looking at their
Speaker 4: for one ks and they don't believe that this is
Speaker 4: good for the economy and for the US again, based
Speaker 4: on the numbers that are.
Speaker 1: Not in there for one can.
Speaker 4: And with all the sincerity that man said, oh, I
Speaker 4: tell those people, don't look, don't check it.
Speaker 2: Okay, not checking it still won't change the fact that
Speaker 2: it's not there, and we'd like it to be because
Speaker 2: it once us. My wife is a chiropractor and she
Speaker 2: is in a nice like keep see, little affluent suburb
Speaker 2: community outside of DC, and one of her patients is
Speaker 2: like he like retired from a major bank for a
Speaker 2: long time. But it's also a vet and no lie in.
Speaker 2: One day, he said he checked his for one K
Speaker 2: that morning, just as an alert. Him being a white
Speaker 2: man with a family and retiring, he'd was like, oh, no,
Speaker 2: I need to check and see what's going on. He
Speaker 2: was worried, and I understand it. He checked in he
Speaker 2: had lost two hundred and thirty that thousand of dollars
Speaker 2: and one single day.
Speaker 1: One single day, my dad he never lost thirty thousand, yep.
Speaker 2: And one day somebody saw somebody like lost like fifth
Speaker 2: I saw someone's like actually post like it go from
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty two thousand, they'd only had like
Speaker 2: three thousand contributes like normal dollars, normal, Like they've been
Speaker 2: working all these years for this and like so far
Speaker 2: year to day, only three thousand dollars in contributions, keeps
Speaker 2: a little amount here and there, probably like a nice
Speaker 2: millennial and now their balance is seventy two, and I
Speaker 2: just thought to myself, that's a very big difference from
Speaker 2: a six figure number to a not six figure number.
Speaker 2: And so me not checking it, sir, does nothing for
Speaker 2: the fact that that sixth figure. I want it, I
Speaker 2: worked for it, I put it there. I like it's
Speaker 2: I wanted.
Speaker 1: I wanted to be there.
Speaker 2: Do I need to call JG. Wentworth?
Speaker 4: Especially Trump is in and I need it now, hello,
Speaker 4: especially because Trump is in the White House bragging about, Oh,
Speaker 4: this guy made a billion dollars today, he made a
Speaker 4: second like.
Speaker 1: That's called manipulations. There's a training.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of like terms for some a lot
Speaker 2: of the the mills seen a cop HBO like dots
Speaker 2: or series or movies about things.
Speaker 1: Like this, right, because where is James? Call me when
Speaker 1: you need him.
Speaker 2: I've seen some girlies go like to a little place
Speaker 2: called prison for a thing like this. We've seen things
Speaker 2: like this before, and like the manipulation of political power
Speaker 2: to make money for some and the rest of us
Speaker 2: are like like eating it, like eating it real.
Speaker 4: Well the rest of you guys, And I think this
Speaker 4: is where you have to really utilize your words and
Speaker 4: reframe your thinking because you're not eating it. What you
Speaker 4: are doing is funding his birthday military parade.
Speaker 2: Yeah that Hello me a person who lives in the
Speaker 2: D and V. I know I'm in your ears completely correct.
Speaker 2: I have to make sure, y'all. Ella's in the car
Speaker 2: with her family. She's you know, a full adult, and
Speaker 2: adult things are happening. They're getting coffee, they're running errands.
Speaker 2: It's just being real modeled some to put her on.
Speaker 2: Build the entire house of New Jersey around the black
Speaker 2: woman and watch it flourish, just like Shmia on Atlanta. Okay,
Speaker 2: but the relation was fully in her ears because I
Speaker 2: have to say, as a D and V person, fuck
Speaker 2: right off, okay, fuck right Oh you are not running
Speaker 2: face up and through this city. First of all, my SUV,
Speaker 2: my high en day can't get around the roundabouts without
Speaker 2: busting something up in DC, which is literally how Benjamin
Speaker 2: Banneker designed it. Hello, former history teacher of DC Washington Washington,
Speaker 2: DC History two third graders in the city of DC.
Speaker 2: Banker designed it so that the capitol like couldn't be
Speaker 2: penetrated by like outside forces and stuff. That was like
Speaker 2: the whole idea. So if you don't want to have
Speaker 2: a military parade in the middle of the city that
Speaker 2: is literally not supposed to be navigationable by military on
Speaker 2: purpose so that we will see them coming and respond accordingly.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about using our own resources and
Speaker 2: our own streets to bankrupt our own sick What are
Speaker 2: you talking like? I actually that made me matter than
Speaker 2: the fact that it's going to pass around ninety ten
Speaker 2: million and I don't have money right now. That made
Speaker 2: me mad. It made me matter to know the tralla
Speaker 2: gonna bust up these streets and we will never be
Speaker 2: able to get around the city that we have to
Speaker 2: get around again, Why why are you doing this with
Speaker 2: any question mark? I don't like.
Speaker 1: The man that got me was again as is higher
Speaker 1: than drafts.
Speaker 4: At eleven dollars at the ownersh market you did, Oh wow,
Speaker 4: you don't put one hundred and forty five on imports
Speaker 4: from China.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're telling you.
Speaker 4: Hello, uncle Daddy, President, big guy King, maybe a dictator.
Speaker 1: We don't have no money to that. No to that
Speaker 1: you say.
Speaker 4: For my birthday, I want to throw a ninety two
Speaker 4: million dollar pres And my question is, first.
Speaker 2: Of all, from my birthday, I just had to cancel
Speaker 2: my trip. My birthday trip because the girl now has
Speaker 2: to figure out if the money goes to the emergency
Speaker 2: all the groceries. You know, Like in this current situation, y'all,
Speaker 2: I'm back on my MIC because I'm searching for the reason.
Speaker 2: I've been gone for a month, because I've been searching
Speaker 2: for a new job situation, employment situation. And now I'm
Speaker 2: back because I simply can't take no breaks because somebody
Speaker 2: in these four ninety five streets of the DNV rushing
Speaker 2: out of DC going You know, I don't even blame
Speaker 2: because they're leaving it from their mandatory job and they
Speaker 2: shouldn't even have to be at for no reason. All
Speaker 2: hours we're all sitting on traffic for two to three
Speaker 2: hours a day. I swear to God, it is a
Speaker 2: bismal mess all up and down the DNV. Right, and
Speaker 2: somehow a rockets my windshield. I don't know when it happens.
Speaker 2: I know that it happens from being in a standstill,
Speaker 2: which is crazy, but that's what happens. Right. And now
Speaker 2: I'm like, do I want to celebrate my birth or
Speaker 2: do I want to not get pulled over in or
Speaker 2: a hashtag and or for you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: For like a windshield, you know, do I want to
Speaker 2: take it a level deeper?
Speaker 4: Shouldn't even be because I know you pay car insurance
Speaker 4: with an exactly like we don't cover random acts of God,
Speaker 4: so a random rock flying to your windows is a
Speaker 4: random active guide and you don't cover it. But my
Speaker 4: guy paid my debts on the cross, So I'm just
Speaker 4: really confused.
Speaker 2: When I talked to him, he said, Jesus got it.
Speaker 2: He said, lay all on him and he and I said, okay,
Speaker 2: I could buy you do that. So I'm like confused
Speaker 2: because also this month insurance rate is like around the
Speaker 2: same time and went up a little bit, so I'm
Speaker 2: just like, okay, So I guess I'm going to my
Speaker 2: mama said, I can take you to breakfast. Well, thank you.
Speaker 2: I've only been working hard for this trip for a
Speaker 2: couple of years. One of the whiter time and trip.
Speaker 2: But I can listen. Listen she really wanted to. But
Speaker 2: the lady is trying to retire from the federal government.
Speaker 2: She has less than I can't even say what time,
Speaker 2: because believe it or not, people are getting reported and
Speaker 2: losing jobs. So I'm not gonna exactly so let me
Speaker 2: keep her so classified, but she's trying to get out
Speaker 2: while also they're training her for what happens if she
Speaker 2: gets laid off before then, So it's fun.
Speaker 1: They're training her for the layoff. Oh yeah, No, they're
Speaker 1: training a lot of the people for the layoffs.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for hours a day, like eight to ten
Speaker 2: hours each day, multiple days. So that's where your taxpayer
Speaker 2: dollars are going. And just want you to know that
Speaker 2: they're training them on the layoffs. Okay, so different podcast exactly.
Speaker 2: And that is why we're rubber necking because y'all, I
Speaker 2: can't even not think about this. We can't. We're past
Speaker 2: the point of being like, well, we're just going to
Speaker 2: bring y'all some jolly and we're gonna try to help y'all.
Speaker 2: You know, do you turn your brains up? You can't,
Speaker 2: because if no one would be I can listen to stuff,
Speaker 2: but that's I can't even listen to a podcast these
Speaker 2: days and my brain not wonder to something else or
Speaker 2: be like, oh I could I've put it on the
Speaker 2: good to the grocery store and I'm walking through the
Speaker 2: grocery store and see the things of teen forty nine
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, you know, no, man, who's talking
Speaker 2: about this? And why is this happening?
Speaker 1: I saw a video of a girl says she had
Speaker 1: two breakdowns and targets. I'm not targeting trader.
Speaker 4: She was working through Trader Joe's crying because she only
Speaker 4: had one hundred dollars in her pocket for groceries and
Speaker 4: she was scared with every item that she picked up.
Speaker 2: That like I be playing roulette all the time. I
Speaker 2: did it.
Speaker 3: I literally did it this morning and spend almost fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: Spent fifty dollars. I bought four items, none of them
Speaker 2: organic or a whole or foods like that. I literally
Speaker 2: I can tell you I got fresh cut from my
Speaker 2: babies because I have two of them that will allow
Speaker 2: I see maybe a week. It's the same bag that
Speaker 2: I've always gotten, but somehow it's ten ninety nine instead
Speaker 2: of six ninety nine. To day the I got my
Speaker 2: wife a sandwich half a turkey bot from the brocery
Speaker 2: store pre made from four nine today's the tenth. That
Speaker 2: was seven dollars and thirteen cents. It's half a sandwich,
Speaker 2: so that's important. And then let's see, I got some
Speaker 2: sausage potties for three seventeen fresh. So that was a
Speaker 2: little of pork, you know. And I don't even want
Speaker 2: to eat pork, but I literally am trying to survive
Speaker 2: and sustain, so okay, and I'm making together like nine
Speaker 2: times more than I've ever made it in my life.
Speaker 2: I feel like when I was growing up in the hood,
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna hold you. It feels like reminste I
Speaker 2: feel very reminiscent. Oh, my mama and Daddy would bring
Speaker 2: home like the canister of sloppy jew and be like,
Speaker 2: so let you know about it, girl, toast the buns.
Speaker 1: You know, if it was a good day, you get
Speaker 1: a little found.
Speaker 2: So we lived. My church was next to Martin's Chocte,
Speaker 2: so we would get the potato rolls and put that
Speaker 2: with a little butter on the on the on the.
Speaker 1: Pane that you go.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm a rib baloni and cheese sandwich. Like talk
Speaker 2: of old school cup of hood. It's a different type
Speaker 2: over here, which is why I'm sad to be.
Speaker 1: Back, very hard.
Speaker 4: I never did the blagna. That's just a personal choice.
Speaker 4: But back in the day when I did eat the pork,
Speaker 4: we did the My grandmother did the tailor ham sandwiches
Speaker 4: and going to cut the little.
Speaker 1: Triangle in it, for the air, for the grease pebble
Speaker 1: in it, on some wonder white bread with a little
Speaker 1: bit of man nags.
Speaker 2: That's it and that is all. And that's where it
Speaker 2: feels like. People are back the shirts. So go off
Speaker 2: and have your beautiful birthday. I hope it rains.
Speaker 4: Continue golfing. Actually, because it rains, I hope you get
Speaker 4: rained on. I hope the food sucks. Oh, nobody shows up.
Speaker 4: I have all the balloons deflate and get popped. Look,
Speaker 4: I'm really out.
Speaker 2: You have a terrible time.
Speaker 1: Because Fridays, that's always visiting you on Friday.
Speaker 2: I do like right now, those chans are childish.
Speaker 5: I get them, also confused a lot chance it's right,
Speaker 5: but yeah no, that is a that's the spiritual verse
Speaker 5: for me, because embody is a certain kind of probably
Speaker 5: angry that I feel like is right a line with
Speaker 5: that spiritual be angry.
Speaker 2: But don't sing, You're alive. I did nothing to harm you.
Speaker 2: But I do hope not good things for you. I
Speaker 2: hope many inconveniences for you. And that is what I
Speaker 2: currently hope for this old man who is ruining my birthday,
Speaker 2: Like is he also ruining the country short, yes, whatever,
Speaker 2: but my birthday.
Speaker 1: But it's about man, It's about man.
Speaker 2: I just told you, like I'm eating like spaghetti like
Speaker 2: nine times. I just weekend and.
Speaker 4: You know what, honestly, I I I hate this because
Speaker 4: we're also like pandemic girlies like yes, celebrated my thirtieth
Speaker 4: with Corona to.
Speaker 2: Actually like okay, because they wouldn't like I had to go.
Speaker 2: You have to go out and get it. You had
Speaker 2: to like grave the storms, go and get the things.
Speaker 4: And then with the apart at the store, with the
Speaker 4: which direction to walk up and down the house? Yes,
Speaker 4: and every time because every time because.
Speaker 2: I'm directionally challenged, but my mama would absolutely have me
Speaker 2: strip at the door and throw my clothing. So it
Speaker 2: was just a lot to go and do the things.
Speaker 2: And I just wanted I have one more birthday left
Speaker 2: before thirty. This is my last one before thirty. I'm
Speaker 2: very like I'm injuring a different state of mind. And
Speaker 2: I wanted to go to the mountains and it was
Speaker 2: a place is very near and dear to my heart.
Speaker 2: I was gonna be by the water, and it was
Speaker 2: not even supposed to be a big extravagant fast birthday.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, so I'm not talking to you.
Speaker 1: Your turn for your birthday.
Speaker 2: That was appreciating. Thank you so much, Jackson. You're so sweet.
Speaker 2: But I just feel like I should have that. But
Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna protest that birthday. You better believe
Speaker 2: you deserve it.
Speaker 4: Also, everything for a reason, though, So it's coming yes, consolutely, in.
Speaker 2: The midst of all of these things, because the only
Speaker 2: thinking right now you can do that is gonna cost
Speaker 2: you free of charge. Actor tariff is literally stream and
Speaker 2: watch stuff. Right That's the only thing is I can
Speaker 2: watch Netflix because that doesn't have to be currently yet
Speaker 2: imported from China.
Speaker 1: Or But you know, they will raise the prices every
Speaker 1: two weeks.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And to be honest, because of what the
Speaker 2: Black Mirror that I just started, the season seven just
Speaker 2: came out today and I started it. I understand why
Speaker 2: they might raise some prices. The girls did do their
Speaker 2: things and the black people did show up the black
Speaker 2: ladies in this season. Tracy Ellis, Oh, they did it.
Speaker 2: They did their big foot on this. So I wanted
Speaker 2: to ask you, what are you watching when you're done?
Speaker 2: When you hang up the C span and you're like,
Speaker 2: you know, what chat. I had enough for the day.
Speaker 2: I need done wine d program, severance. I need to
Speaker 2: just go ahead and do you and what's making you
Speaker 2: do that? Right now?
Speaker 1: We did start Sebrance. Yes, I was behind the ball.
Speaker 1: I'm relate to the party girl on Ted Life, me too.
Speaker 2: I also to the party on So I just started
Speaker 2: both of them.
Speaker 4: Okay, So sames Beyond the Gates they first all black
Speaker 4: soap opera on CBS.
Speaker 1: I actually did an interview with the AP.
Speaker 4: That somebody at the AP is doing a piece on
Speaker 4: the cultural impact of Beyond the Gates, so I was
Speaker 4: able to have a conversation with her about that.
Speaker 1: So I'm deeply enthralled. Shameless plug.
Speaker 4: Every Friday at three thirty pm Eastern, I hosts Beyond
Speaker 4: the Gates Club over on my Instagram brief by l
Speaker 4: So come over there and join us. We recap, share
Speaker 4: thoughts of the storylines, where we think it's going on,
Speaker 4: all that good jazz.
Speaker 1: We're working on getting some cast members and stuff over
Speaker 1: and then maybe Beauty in Black.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, I made a tweet.
Speaker 4: I said, I know Tyler Perry gotta be walking around
Speaker 4: with no feats because both of them isn't that show.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's and he's not even walking around because
Speaker 2: they already ready for I think I made a comment
Speaker 2: on because they already announced that the third season or
Speaker 2: the next installment is going to be coming out soon.
Speaker 2: At some point I didn't say win. And I went
Speaker 2: on Kaa's show Bravo while Black and we talked about
Speaker 2: the new The Lasting Fumer that just came out, and
Speaker 2: my comment was like vul on Netflix or strong Black Lead,
Speaker 2: because I was like, if I'm gonna Taylor, this is
Speaker 2: already happening. I'm expecting the next A Boy the end
Speaker 2: of the week. Honestly, Yes, honestly, because you know what
Speaker 2: is in the movie that we don't even know about.
Speaker 2: All of that.
Speaker 1: When that last scene ended and and it went to the.
Speaker 4: Things that you could recommend to watch about, called Tyler
Speaker 4: Perry Studios myself.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, Okay, okay, listen that what had me.
Speaker 4: In a choke hold? The reality TV really hasn't been
Speaker 4: doing it for me too much. I'm called for Rowa
Speaker 4: simply because much your girl Millie Ching, she bullied me,
Speaker 4: you know, and I don't condone bullying.
Speaker 1: I'm not a pair of persure type of girl. I
Speaker 1: was bullied into watching it, and so here we are.
Speaker 2: M M.
Speaker 1: But that's that script. It has me in a choke
Speaker 1: call right now.
Speaker 2: No, I fully understand the script that has me in
Speaker 2: a choke call right now. The game shows have been right.
Speaker 1: Now watching a million Dollar Secret.
Speaker 2: Of course I am. I was literally just about to
Speaker 2: say a million dollar secret. If y'all like Traders, that
Speaker 2: one's real cutey because it's like traders, but make them
Speaker 2: do the awkward stuff and it's really fun. The first
Speaker 2: couple episodes, main person you know who I'm talking about,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna fill it for you, piss me off,
Speaker 2: as I knew she would once definatly where we got
Speaker 2: you with her, so I knew that would happen.
Speaker 1: The black therapist girl, I can't think of her name.
Speaker 2: She pisses me off.
Speaker 1: I don't like her.
Speaker 2: You know, It's like, it's really good. These are real people,
Speaker 2: and I think that's really exciting because now it's a
Speaker 2: much more of a social experiment in this way. And
Speaker 2: I really like that, right, And so I'm I'm been
Speaker 2: cutesy over there. I watched the Floor. I think that's
Speaker 2: a really good one. So the Floor is on Fox.
Speaker 2: It's hosted to Buy rob Low and it is literally
Speaker 2: a series of trivia. I love trivia, but it's like,
Speaker 2: if you are not a Jepan person, which I am not,
Speaker 2: I might get through like thirty percent of Jeopardy and
Speaker 2: like sixty percent of Celebrity Tebrity. But it's like people
Speaker 2: duel out based on expert categories that they have like
Speaker 2: just random things right, and a randomizer picks a person
Speaker 2: and they duel based on what they think they could
Speaker 2: take that person in their category or or vice versa,
Speaker 2: and the goal is to work through the floor. There's
Speaker 2: a hundred people, so it goes in for weeks, so
Speaker 2: every night or every week there's like eight duels and
Speaker 2: they go back and forth, and it'll be things like
Speaker 2: garden supplies, school supplies, baby products, because like the girl
Speaker 2: is like I've borked three kids and I've bought a
Speaker 2: lot of baby products. I've sort of a lot of products.
Speaker 2: I've done a lot of baby research. I got this
Speaker 2: and I was like, ohay, And but it's a time thing.
Speaker 2: So if you pass, you lose time. So it comes
Speaker 2: down to sometimes we think it's gonna come down to
Speaker 2: knowing the items, but It also might come down to
Speaker 2: how fast you just get the words out and then
Speaker 2: so it's like a chance.
Speaker 1: It's like one hundred thousand dollars perramids.
Speaker 4: So if I do baby items, then I gotta go
Speaker 4: like bottle warmer, bottle passive, very diaper, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so like a picture shows that that it's two
Speaker 2: people and a picture shows up and it will be
Speaker 2: like bottle warmer, and so it's one person's turn. I
Speaker 2: would go first and say bottle warmer, and then you
Speaker 2: the next picture comes up and you'll say passifiers. But
Speaker 2: the clock is ticking for both of us. We both
Speaker 2: have our own timers. So every time we talk, our
Speaker 2: timer is going, or every time it's our turn, our
Speaker 2: timer is going. So if you say a baby gay crib,
Speaker 2: still going the whole time, and then you and it
Speaker 2: just say pass and it takes away three seconds. So
Speaker 2: you might be that mom, but no one of things,
Speaker 2: but you can't get it out exactly and then that
Speaker 2: time and then all of a sudden, it sometimes gets
Speaker 2: down to the wire and it's about things that are wild.
Speaker 2: I do encourage people to watch this season because if
Speaker 2: you're a podcast girly who likes to listen to a
Speaker 2: lot of podcasts, you might know who Ira Madison the
Speaker 2: Third is, and he is on there as an expert
Speaker 2: of real housewives. It's so one of the categories is
Speaker 2: real housewives and baby when I tell you my nappy,
Speaker 2: sleepy self and shut up and sit, ain't no way,
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna do this, okay, this one okay, And
Speaker 2: of course she cleared all of them, but like the
Speaker 2: it's so good that there's a feud of two people
Speaker 2: who go in this category and you do not see
Speaker 2: it coming. But this person is like a dynamite gay
Speaker 2: honey who was like, now, strategically I made my way
Speaker 2: through all these duels so that I could get to housewives,
Speaker 2: and now I'm going to battle the housewives. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is incredible because he's like, I'm a full blown
Speaker 2: like Day who's married to a housewives lover. We love
Speaker 2: the housewives. And it's Ira Madison the Third who's like
Speaker 2: ben On Watson, happens live because of housewives. He loves
Speaker 2: housewives and self proclaimed my Bravo historian as well. This
Speaker 2: is about to be lit. And it was like there's
Speaker 2: Beyonce songs, there's it's everything. Oh it's it is very
Speaker 2: family friendly, which I find so tensey because everything is
Speaker 2: like clip art, it's like AI generated photos.
Speaker 1: I love that because we love We loved the game shows.
Speaker 4: I was watching on dealan o'dale Island, which got a
Speaker 4: little slow towards the end, but nevertheless that one we
Speaker 4: do the amazing race of it all.
Speaker 1: And then I wanted to put my daughter on the
Speaker 1: Have you seen the the Kids Show?
Speaker 4: And it's like you gotta be a secret agent, but
Speaker 4: it's on Peacock, so I just saw the little like
Speaker 4: the commercial or the trailer, but it's like you're you're
Speaker 4: you're a secret agent. So one person lost the comms
Speaker 4: and then the other person is like walking through and
Speaker 4: you've got to like navigate, like think like a Quantico
Speaker 4: type training almost.
Speaker 1: But it's all kids.
Speaker 2: That's amazing. No, I love that because I'm a huge
Speaker 2: fan of spark Foods. And speaking of kids, I also
Speaker 2: got into excuse me, ma'am I am working. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: you both don't know how to ask, and that's in me.
Speaker 2: I guess I'm spoiling you too much. I'm just trying
Speaker 2: to be a good dog parent. I really am. This
Speaker 2: is me right now, wonder literally I just got finished
Speaker 2: or I'm in the middle of. It's called bad influence,
Speaker 2: the dark side of Oh baby. There's no warning for
Speaker 2: how quickly they take off. And it's not even like
Speaker 2: there's some like one catastrophic thing. It's just seep like
Speaker 2: jaw drop or jaw drop or what the hell? What
Speaker 2: the hell? Because kids are honest and vulnerable, and because
Speaker 2: these are now teenagers and young adults who grew up
Speaker 2: on the Internet, they're desensitized even from their own experiences.
Speaker 2: So they're relaying and recapping stuff. And I'm like, no, no, no, baby,
Speaker 2: that's not normal. No no, no, Nonethele, that's the normal.
Speaker 2: It is absolutely bananas.
Speaker 1: I watched the trailer last night, and I mean, like
Speaker 1: respectfully to their streets. I cannot wait to watch.
Speaker 2: I there's this.
Speaker 4: Lady on TikTok I cannot remember her name. If y'all care,
Speaker 4: y'all will do the word. But her whole page is
Speaker 4: about shining a light on kid influencing and like she'll
Speaker 4: call moms out who like use their kids for money
Speaker 4: and like all of that. But one time she did
Speaker 4: this post of this mom influencer who basically like uses
Speaker 4: her baby. So the baby, she did a whole box
Speaker 4: time routine and the babies are in the tub and
Speaker 4: you can't see anything like but the side profile. But
Speaker 4: the kids are obviously naked because they're in the tub.
Speaker 4: So she's taking that. She went through all of the
Speaker 4: ladies social media is the TikTok, the Instagram, the YouTube
Speaker 4: for that same video, and the promo, and she went
Speaker 4: through and showed the saves, yep and thes.
Speaker 1: And nobody is this interested in you?
Speaker 4: And if I can see it, you can see it,
Speaker 4: and you're doing it, and you are you're not protecting
Speaker 4: your baby.
Speaker 1: When she showed them shares, that was the last day
Speaker 1: I showed.
Speaker 2: You on my daughter. Oh well then, I really I
Speaker 2: think as a mom, I have to have you watch
Speaker 2: and come on back l because maybe you do it
Speaker 2: for the Patreon because like they pull like this the mom.
Speaker 2: There's a crime here. There's a lot of crimes here.
Speaker 2: I'm actually waiting like I haven't finished yet, and I'm
Speaker 2: waiting for the end when someone's been arrested. I don't
Speaker 2: think that's happening, which is kind of crazy to me.
Speaker 1: They have the complexion for protection.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, A lot of things on here. Let me
Speaker 2: tell you something. I uh, these aren't even spoilers because
Speaker 2: the whole thing is like kind of wild to begin
Speaker 2: with one mom having so much power and they and
Speaker 2: making these like this content, the over sexualization of these kids.
Speaker 2: She starts basically simping her kids out in a lot
Speaker 2: of ways, like.
Speaker 4: It is insane to me that mom was telling them
Speaker 4: my sex cells, like I make it sexy.
Speaker 2: Yay, yes, oh baby. There are things like she told
Speaker 2: one kid that she had to take her her own child.
Speaker 2: This is a trigger warning for people take their her
Speaker 2: own child underwear and mail it because in the little
Speaker 2: girl who was with her at the post office, who
Speaker 2: is not her child, just another kid in her care,
Speaker 2: in her content house or whatever, asked why and she
Speaker 2: just said, and I quote, old men like to smell them.
Speaker 2: And so this little girl goes home to ask her mom, Mommy,
Speaker 2: why does old men like to smell underwear? And mom says,
Speaker 2: excuse the motherfucker out of me, and I was basically
Speaker 2: you know, and then proper mom things take up and
Speaker 2: that documentary.
Speaker 1: But still then you never see again. And you lucky
Speaker 1: if you could see out of your eyes.
Speaker 2: Oh you mean, I have so I don't have children,
Speaker 2: And let me tell you something, as I'm not hashtag
Speaker 2: not a mother, I could see this mom face. I'm
Speaker 2: going at it with this mom one day. I as
Speaker 2: the person who has like been sworn to protect children,
Speaker 2: like in a lot of different ways. I do that
Speaker 2: every couple of months to literally teach your children how
Speaker 2: to read. But this shit y'all are putting you you
Speaker 2: can put your naked children on TV and on the
Speaker 2: internet for money, are you kidding? And then somebody I
Speaker 2: think there was like a lot of expose a's and
Speaker 2: the pedophilic community have have been like they make it
Speaker 2: so easy. They're commenting in some things. It's like, oh,
Speaker 2: they make it so easy.
Speaker 1: They make you do how to worry about the Dan
Speaker 1: Schneiders of the world. Now it's your homegirls mother.
Speaker 2: It is your homegirls mother. It is your child's friend's
Speaker 2: mom who is like, oh, yeah, the girls are just
Speaker 2: having a sleepover, you know how they had their true
Speaker 2: uh huh No. And I'm not saying don't send your
Speaker 2: kids over the sleepovers and do the things like that,
Speaker 2: but I am saying, really check and see when people
Speaker 2: are putting their kids like and I'm all for the kids,
Speaker 2: you know, doing contentation they want to do. What I
Speaker 2: will say is kids actually know how to make content
Speaker 2: really really well. I'm a kid, I'm a teacher that
Speaker 2: has taught you know, podcasting to children as young as
Speaker 2: third grade, YouTube editing as young as third grade, those
Speaker 2: type of things like that. You only don't need to
Speaker 2: necessarily be involved. You can edit, you can look at it,
Speaker 2: you can approve the content managed by mom. But unless
Speaker 2: they don't want to, unless they want to do it.
Speaker 2: I actually don't see any reason why you are making
Speaker 2: a factory of little children video soldiers for no reason
Speaker 2: for kid content, you know what I mean? Like, why
Speaker 2: are you doing that?
Speaker 4: Why are are you facilitating it? Well, that's because again
Speaker 4: the money behind it, the more than the cute, c sexy,
Speaker 4: easy stuff sells that that demographic also takes off. We've
Speaker 4: seen it and it doesn't require much, and that there's
Speaker 4: an easy check. Alex Earl, you can call it, you
Speaker 4: call it whatever whatever you want to. You're not gonna
Speaker 4: tell me one the fact that she's as talented as
Speaker 4: the trick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a hot mess. I am riveted by this
Speaker 2: docu series. I think it is not just a dog.
Speaker 2: It's only three episodes, I think it is. It's it's
Speaker 2: this is more bingeable to me even than Gavid Patito.
Speaker 2: And I've been to that whole thing, like.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to do that one.
Speaker 2: I was so I was supper into that face when
Speaker 2: it happened, and then I watched the whole thing in
Speaker 2: like a day, because I mean I was one took.
Speaker 2: It was like real time. People were looking for this man.
Speaker 2: I was watching the live footage. Where is he?
Speaker 1: Where he was watching a live footage at at the
Speaker 1: parents house?
Speaker 2: Your wife in jail. I don't understand. And if you
Speaker 2: have not watched that dop when you knew, you too
Speaker 2: will google why are they not in jail? Why are
Speaker 2: they not?
Speaker 4: And I'm saying the medical stuff they say, they confirmed
Speaker 4: that that was him, and I don't believe it.
Speaker 2: I don't believe a lot of things. And I also
Speaker 2: believe in the most complicit Like I'm just looking at
Speaker 2: a lot of bad parenting on Netflix and I'm just like,
Speaker 2: but I'm sorry, me and my wife got'll be set
Speaker 2: down for interviews. Okay, I'm just okay again. I'm an educator,
Speaker 2: she's a healthcare provider. It's giving me a marriage of
Speaker 2: medicine DC. Okay, that's what I'm saying. But also I
Speaker 2: don't know. Bravo brother's a little weird and work for
Speaker 2: these days. Yeah, I don't know what them birds are,
Speaker 2: but the change, I don't even.
Speaker 4: Know whose network I would want my show on if
Speaker 4: I had one. Tamar hasn't said great things about we.
Speaker 1: We know it's not gonna be Zeus.
Speaker 2: It's never We don't know who ryne Zeus at the moment. Honest,
Speaker 2: it's going on.
Speaker 1: Is it Lammy? Is it the content creators? You know?
Speaker 2: Is it Scottie? Isn't that?
Speaker 4: Who is it?
Speaker 2: Who is it?
Speaker 1: Then you've got Carlos King. I'll never be a rain dropper.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I don't know he over there?
Speaker 1: Why maybe?
Speaker 4: However, TLC doesn't do They don't. Their marketing isn't like
Speaker 4: rare in your face. Because that girl from TikTok Brayley,
Speaker 4: her name might be with the girl she got the
Speaker 4: show on TikTok so t is qing C actually.
Speaker 2: And they go on for a lot longer. Those shows
Speaker 2: really do they fascinate me? This one coming up Multifamily
Speaker 2: or something like that. That Sarah Fraser on the shout
Speaker 2: out to the Sarah Fraser Show. She did a split
Speaker 2: like a real with like were you and that trailer
Speaker 2: of two married couples who are now in a polyamorous squad,
Speaker 2: a close squad together, having kids, raising kids, the whole thing,
Speaker 2: and then one woman, I guess at some point selfishly goes,
Speaker 2: so I'm myhall feelings for another person, and Sarah goes, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're going going so well with the four of us
Speaker 2: in But TC stay having like like that very specific
Speaker 2: niche content that people really enjoy and people get to
Speaker 2: feel authentically themselves on.
Speaker 4: The TVs and never forget Married to Medicine was originally
Speaker 4: picked up back to LC.
Speaker 2: Yes whoa Yes.
Speaker 4: Mariah just liked the Bravo check and what they had
Speaker 4: to offer and she felt it's more aligned over there,
Speaker 4: which makes a TFC bit first you know.
Speaker 2: What, okay and don't feels responsible for a lot of
Speaker 2: a lot of confusion and ensemble show we can get
Speaker 2: where we go, that's where we go? Yeah, I mean that,
Speaker 2: I think so, I think so, I think so. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's the safest place because Bravo, what have you suing
Speaker 2: them one day? Loving them begging for your job back
Speaker 2: the next to me, I love you, but it's really
Speaker 2: weird over there, girl, like like can I come back?
Speaker 2: Like hello? No? No? So also I Atlanta of it all.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess it just it's like those right,
Speaker 2: It depends on who your producer is, whether or not
Speaker 2: a job the next day or not. Like that's an
Speaker 2: inside joke because people keep asking like what's doing certain
Speaker 2: agencies and with situations and when they get laid off
Speaker 2: or get an email or something, and they're literally everybody's responsible,
Speaker 2: Like it really just depends on who your dose person is.
Speaker 2: But there is no one the reason you do no
Speaker 2: good one or one. And my mom says like I
Speaker 2: can't even She's like, and ours is twenty sexy MONI.
Speaker 2: So there you go. We got a lot of to do.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, yeah, I know somebody who with all
Speaker 4: the doge of it all got called back in because
Speaker 4: no more, no more remote work, you gotta come to
Speaker 4: the office. Got office don't even have furniture for them.
Speaker 2: They don't.
Speaker 1: And then with the ters never going to get it.
Speaker 2: I know nobody who's at a folding table because the
Speaker 2: job that they had that the actually got started for
Speaker 2: them was fully remote to begin with. The entire team
Speaker 2: was fully remote. That was the entire thing. And so
Speaker 2: the in those situations, they tell you to turn into
Speaker 2: your closest government work facility, wherever that may be, and
Speaker 2: that place is supposed to magically have space for you,
Speaker 2: even though they don't. Period.
Speaker 1: That's sufficient birthday.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just saying you're about waste. It's again, and
Speaker 2: I'm never going to stop advocating for this because people
Speaker 2: don't know this as wasteful as you might think being
Speaker 2: a government employee than hell lazy. They might be working
Speaker 2: from home, which ninety percent of private industry jobs right
Speaker 2: now are worked from home. So that's kind of why
Speaker 2: that you would think they have a salary cap. Never
Speaker 2: gonna stop saying that there is a salary cap in
Speaker 2: the government no matter what, no matter how high they go,
Speaker 2: whether you are this person or the president, you can
Speaker 2: not make more than them. And let me tell you something.
Speaker 2: It's a third, a third or less of what a
Speaker 2: lot of college presidents, football coaches of colleges like. Definitely
Speaker 2: more than anybody that's making decisions right now. That's what. Okay,
Speaker 2: it is six figures but it is a cap.
Speaker 1: It is a cap.
Speaker 2: It is a cap. You cannot go above it. So
Speaker 2: how wasteful is something that's capped? Just saying what's wasteful
Speaker 2: is turns in the middle of a city, just saying
Speaker 2: that's wasteful.
Speaker 1: Is Kenya in the poster boards?
Speaker 2: Why does she do that? Okay, so I have a
Speaker 2: thing about I think in order to start this conversation,
Speaker 2: I have to say. I have to start with I
Speaker 2: believe the show will miss Kenya Moore. I do believe
Speaker 2: that ceasing filming with her for the entirety of the
Speaker 2: season might have been a lot because I don't think
Speaker 2: we were prioritizing the rest of the season when we
Speaker 2: made that decision. I love to think we put a
Speaker 2: lot of.
Speaker 1: Weight on Cynthia, Portie and Phaedria.
Speaker 2: And not which I don't think we should have.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying, I guess, even though right word,
Speaker 4: they put a lot of stock yeah, portious Cynthia and
Speaker 4: Phaedra's ability to captivate and entertain the audience.
Speaker 1: This is where this is where I get tripped up.
Speaker 4: Technically speaking, revenge porn has a definition, right, whether we
Speaker 4: like it, whether we love it, whether we want to
Speaker 4: acknowledge it as such, there is a very clear definition.
Speaker 4: By that definition, what Kenya did was that distributing, sharing
Speaker 4: personal photos with the intent to humiliate, embarrassed, or ostracized
Speaker 4: is damn near word for words the definition.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I get that. Where I get confused is
Speaker 1: by definition what Monique.
Speaker 4: Did to Canvas. There an a legal attachment there that
Speaker 4: was assault. We can define it, We saw it, and
Speaker 4: that got thrown away in court and dismissed as regular
Speaker 4: reality TV bs.
Speaker 1: So why are we holding the line on this?
Speaker 2: Can I even just remind people that like Portie or
Speaker 2: Candy could have sued for like legitimate reasons and couldn't
Speaker 2: have because of their contract. For the very real rumor
Speaker 2: that we spent multiple episodes and multiple reunion parts giving
Speaker 2: life to and assessing that these people a couple were
Speaker 2: really going to sexually assault somebody like legitimately, and we
Speaker 2: gave it so much life that it is like the
Speaker 2: reason why this person didn't get to work for future seasons.
Speaker 2: And that was but wasn't fired on the spot, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? One was sold to have gotten
Speaker 2: it from a producer. Now, whether or not you believe
Speaker 2: that always kind of irrelevant because it's also like irrelevant
Speaker 2: if that's if it's if, it's also irrelevant whether or
Speaker 2: not you believe that a producer or an ap or
Speaker 2: someone who could not have done this by herself. I
Speaker 2: don't believe. Can you win to the FedEx and the
Speaker 2: King Coach and nobody she pulled the whole thing in
Speaker 2: and nobody at all knew what length she was going
Speaker 2: to go to and to which case. I say, if
Speaker 2: it was a fireable offense, and she said, I don't
Speaker 2: give up, then that is one thing. But that's not
Speaker 2: what seems like what happened. It's not.
Speaker 4: And again, like you said, thank you, her producer at
Speaker 4: the very least would have known that this was happening,
Speaker 4: right on top of all the other producers that are there.
Speaker 4: Number one, number two, this girl is still getting a
Speaker 4: spin off. Shut So again, it's not about you're not
Speaker 4: disassociating yourself from this person who did something illegal. You
Speaker 4: just very much trador parts of it all. Removed this
Speaker 4: person from this show. But again on this show where
Speaker 4: there's history of people doing in my opinion, worse, why
Speaker 4: is this the thing that's.
Speaker 2: Going for the whole season for on this show and
Speaker 2: other ones like I'm just like y'all, the criminality has
Speaker 2: never We've never really shied away from anything too criminal.
Speaker 2: I mean Theresa went to that was our first real
Speaker 2: crossover into the true crime of House Squaws. Right, so,
Speaker 2: rent to prison and came back and had a job.
Speaker 2: She did a crime, complicit or not. Ignorance is no
Speaker 2: defense according to most judges in America. She did a crime.
Speaker 2: She served for time, but she came back to a show.
Speaker 2: Karry Hebrew is in jail right right, the Winds assaulted
Speaker 2: the cop j with girl, And when Luayne got out
Speaker 2: of jail, I feel like provo picked her up, like
Speaker 2: from the sension.
Speaker 1: That's the fus.
Speaker 2: You know I've been traveling to prison. You know that's
Speaker 2: that things because she's in the car immediately after, right,
Speaker 2: and then hello, I remember when Luayne uh Spot day
Speaker 2: for people who have been like in prison, and she
Speaker 2: was like girling was the lea and I know you
Speaker 2: feel beautiful. You can never make me hate old Ronnie.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that girl. It was so good before it
Speaker 2: got bad. It was a nut. I love her. She's
Speaker 2: a Fool's a fool, but like you know what, I
Speaker 2: mean like we've had other moments. My problem is that
Speaker 2: with Atlanta, for some reason, it feels like he can't
Speaker 2: get scapeboaded a lot. It feels like she's held to
Speaker 2: a certain standard of like because they know how volatile
Speaker 2: she can be. I guess, like, but it's no.
Speaker 1: Less valid she's been to me. The energy has been
Speaker 1: the same.
Speaker 2: Since what's his name, Dolo?
Speaker 1: Since but you know what I mean, here we go.
Speaker 1: We have told Marlowe.
Speaker 4: Or since marlow had to tell Kenya like she was
Speaker 4: just that way because she ain't have no mama when Mark,
Speaker 4: when King was on Marlow's neck. When Kenya, Kenya has
Speaker 4: been volatile, there is nothing new.
Speaker 1: They're the only.
Speaker 2: Mistress ones. Pedra is back, and.
Speaker 4: I feel like, prior to this britt Edie situation, look
Speaker 4: at the table right, let's think about Angela's event. Angela,
Speaker 4: britt Kelly Shemiah, all New Girls, Drew who is what on.
Speaker 1: Her third season?
Speaker 4: You can see you can still classify her as a
Speaker 4: new girl because she still ain't figured it out.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Then you have mhm Portia, who is new to coming back.
Speaker 1: She took a break.
Speaker 4: Kenya is the o G at this table Kenya is
Speaker 4: the longest standing person and while she's not the original cast,
Speaker 4: she's the closest to the original cast. What prior to
Speaker 4: the gret Edy situation, what did Bravo have in their
Speaker 4: back pockets to knock key you down of it?
Speaker 1: Exactly?
Speaker 4: Then Kenya does this dumb move. They had Fader on
Speaker 4: the hook and it's like, we don't need you. They
Speaker 4: don't make me call Phaedra, And that's.
Speaker 1: Exactly what happened. They reminded her that she could be
Speaker 1: knocked at.
Speaker 2: It's really crazy because it reminds me of like the
Speaker 2: time and I bring this up a lot where we
Speaker 2: had to watch because I guess my like my ADHD
Speaker 2: was so bothered years ago by the Halloween episode where
Speaker 2: we were running around the house right as a yes,
Speaker 2: and I had to watch King of the voiceover of
Speaker 2: a pool because they had to edit her out of
Speaker 2: the scene so awkwardly, like so poorly, when they could
Speaker 2: have just got the whole taken the whole scene down
Speaker 2: right more, when the.
Speaker 1: Producers could have said you can't do that.
Speaker 2: But it's like crazy because I just figured that they
Speaker 2: were like, oh, produce is gonna let her look crazy?
Speaker 2: The same way their producers let Lulamb look crazy as
Speaker 2: Diane or Ross. I just felt like, that's what they do.
Speaker 2: They just make Housewise look crazy, let them look crazy
Speaker 2: so that we can have the commentary and we can
Speaker 2: be the judge. Right, But then so for you to
Speaker 2: often this way and it make her issue an apology
Speaker 2: when I'm still waiting on one from Dark Skin the Wind,
Speaker 2: I'm still wait here, thank you. I'm just saying and
Speaker 2: many more and many more, like so many other costumes
Speaker 2: have I We've all had questions or concerns about I
Speaker 2: have questions concerns about so many things that are said
Speaker 2: and done on so many shows. But yet Kenya is
Speaker 2: just consistently like, we have a moral compass and we
Speaker 2: make her, we hold her responsible. I'm like, but nobody else.
Speaker 2: I'm just like nobody else, Like why I just and
Speaker 2: I and I that is the justice and moral part
Speaker 2: of me. You know, they're still worrying about can you
Speaker 2: claim that she is still getting quote unquote paid by
Speaker 2: Brava And that's because they decided probably to pay her
Speaker 2: out her contract and they are still paying her per season.
Speaker 1: I think Kenya does good business, and I think that's
Speaker 1: what it is when you think Shemiah, what does she
Speaker 1: care how much they pay her from Housewives of Atlanta.
Speaker 2: She don't.
Speaker 4: It's free marketing, okay, girls, Kelly would take any check
Speaker 4: they throw at her.
Speaker 1: Brittany will take any check they throw at her. Angela
Speaker 1: will take.
Speaker 2: Brittany has wanted to do this her entire life.
Speaker 1: These are.
Speaker 4: Them edit I mean I favor excuse me, Kenya makes
Speaker 4: them edit that contract. Kenya racks up the lawyer fees
Speaker 4: because every time you got to go revise that contract,
Speaker 4: you got to send it back to the lawyer and
Speaker 4: Pat King.
Speaker 1: I feel like Kenya does good business exactly.
Speaker 4: She not just sign it off and so I personally
Speaker 4: believe side the first contract that was she signed it
Speaker 4: via Instagram.
Speaker 2: Too, because don't the girl. We sent it to your
Speaker 2: I cloud and she okay, And they didn't even line
Speaker 2: up all the asterisks and kid the fingers signed on
Speaker 2: her phone, you know, with the thing that was the
Speaker 2: whole gag. And I just feel like you were ready
Speaker 2: to say that they put a lot of weight on
Speaker 2: these girlies of Cynthia, Porsche and and in Phaedra and Kenya.
Speaker 2: Those were supposed to be you know, some real like
Speaker 2: pullings for us. Right, The Kenya and Porsche thing was
Speaker 2: always something I was really excited about, and I felt
Speaker 2: like we were gonna really like seeing the first couple
Speaker 2: of episodes that we watched so far, I knew Cynthia
Speaker 2: and Porsche weren't gonna be that draw at all. And
Speaker 2: then the episode when this episode started and we were
Speaker 2: going to Kenya's hair salon hairspot. Before we even got
Speaker 2: to the end, I said, now, I not this is
Speaker 2: her last episode, and already I'm gonna miss it because
Speaker 2: just her energy of filming alone is so different and
Speaker 2: there's so much more entertaining and authentically her printisential of
Speaker 2: it not being you know what I mean, Like it's
Speaker 2: not put on. It just is what it is.
Speaker 4: This is what she would do whether them cameras was
Speaker 4: there or not, and that's what That's what makes it cuckoo,
Speaker 4: and that's what makes it good.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna miss that. But I think that like
Speaker 2: the season is gonna suffer. That is irrelevant, I guess
Speaker 2: to Bravo because they're just like, oh, and they think
Speaker 2: that Phagier will save it. But I think Fader and
Speaker 2: Kenya were ensemble members on a cast for so long
Speaker 2: because they both do well on a cast for different reasons.
Speaker 2: One really does not beget the other, like you don't
Speaker 2: just like swallow them out. They used to be on
Speaker 2: a cast together for a reason, for a reason, there
Speaker 2: was a story there. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's getting weird, a bravo all around.
Speaker 2: I don't want to watch a show with her, and
Speaker 2: I I was not prepared to be teen Kenya. I
Speaker 2: actually was very impartial to this whole thing. I knew
Speaker 2: that as though, even though Kenya went too far, which
Speaker 2: I know someone knew about it because she's been around
Speaker 2: too long, and it feels a little plotty like this
Speaker 2: is going to be her and we gave it too
Speaker 2: much rope. We gonna let her hangers off with it,
Speaker 2: but it's giving. Someone could have intervened because she was
Speaker 2: meeting liquid her so obviously she wasn't all the ways
Speaker 2: sold on the idea of wanting to do it or
Speaker 2: needing to do it, And I think that's gonna I
Speaker 2: think that's kind of sad. But also, I you, why
Speaker 2: did she bring up pistols four times? And I really
Speaker 2: don't honest, some wh people keep like it doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be one or the other. They actually both could
Speaker 2: have done weirdo behavior, and I think the first person
Speaker 2: with the weirdo behavior is Britt. That dinner was weird.
Speaker 2: She did seem like she was randomly needing Kenya to
Speaker 2: answer for all the reason why she don't like her
Speaker 2: and the girls like, I just met you. Really, I
Speaker 2: don't dislike me the way you think I do, so
Speaker 2: I don't know why you're pressing me on this. And
Speaker 2: if you threaten me with pistols four times she said
Speaker 2: pistols didn't. If that's not a threat, then what is it.
Speaker 2: I don't understands. I like, I'm not saying that retaliation.
Speaker 2: I'm just like, but that is what I saw, right.
Speaker 4: I feel like Portia said it best, right, Like, if
Speaker 4: we just get into it and then you start bringing
Speaker 4: that up, the assumption is that you was bringing them
Speaker 4: up because you want to use it on and you
Speaker 4: left space for us to assume that because you never
Speaker 4: directly said anything, right, you just started mentioning.
Speaker 1: It, which tells Britain is just like a certain type
Speaker 1: of person, and that type of person.
Speaker 2: Talks ish like that.
Speaker 4: Again, as the person hearing it, it's not for you
Speaker 4: to decipher whether or not, Oh, she's just talking.
Speaker 1: No, No, however, she was just chatting. And again, I
Speaker 1: stand by. If Kenya had pulled up some pictures on her.
Speaker 4: Phone and was like, pultn't nobody who did do this
Speaker 4: talk to me like that or something like that, I'd
Speaker 4: be like, Okay, cool.
Speaker 1: She lost me at the printerization of it all. No,
Speaker 1: it was a lot.
Speaker 4: She was definitely trying to reclaim her moment, and she
Speaker 4: lost me at the involving other people, them, guests, them, party.
Speaker 4: Did not need to see that. That did not want
Speaker 4: that exactly. It was a group issue and it should
Speaker 4: have stayed inside of the group. That being said, Bravo
Speaker 4: is losing me in general. Because I'm gonna say this
Speaker 4: and then I gotta get ready to head on out.
Speaker 4: Bravo's losing me in general. I'm not excited for that
Speaker 4: next gen z All the children's show.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 4: And I know that them babies worked hard and clap
Speaker 4: clap Bravo to them. I hope they get everything that
Speaker 4: they want out of it. I'm just acutely aware that they're.
Speaker 1: Not talking to me.
Speaker 4: When I come to Bravo and I remember our own.
Speaker 4: We started coming to Bravo because of Orange County.
Speaker 2: Right when I come to.
Speaker 4: Bravo, I'm coming to see out of order women, not
Speaker 4: they kids who I grew up watching.
Speaker 1: When I started coming to Bravo.
Speaker 2: I don't sing inappropriate songs over a cupcake like thank you.
Speaker 4: And I had the same critique, this has nothing to
Speaker 4: do with them being the children of somebody. I had
Speaker 4: the same critique with girlfriends in Paris. I said that
Speaker 4: if Bravo had staged up girlfriends in Paris even just
Speaker 4: five years, we would be having a different conversation.
Speaker 2: Because they love show. They did a show of women
Speaker 2: in a particular age. They were all black women, and
Speaker 2: they went to Italy. My mom and I watched that.
Speaker 2: My mama loved that.
Speaker 4: She said, now that was a good show, or even
Speaker 4: the age group of dancing dancing queens.
Speaker 1: But it's just the target demographic for these Bravo shows.
Speaker 4: Although they're starting to scale a little bit younger and
Speaker 4: scale some out of being majority women, it's still women
Speaker 4: driving the audience over there, and middle aged women. I
Speaker 4: don't want to watch a twenty one year old cry
Speaker 4: about possibly having to leave Paris because she decided to
Speaker 4: sleep in late instead of going to get her green card,
Speaker 4: I'm turning the channel now, like and that's just how.
Speaker 2: Because if young one's gonna first ask her where what's
Speaker 2: going on with your mom and her lips? I don't.
Speaker 2: In fact, I would prefer they someone put Kim Zosiak
Speaker 2: back on an interview because I have a lot of
Speaker 2: questions about a lot of choices that have been made
Speaker 2: before we put the youngest daughter on that thing. I
Speaker 2: don't have any questions for her.
Speaker 4: But that's an extreme pimp out.
Speaker 2: That's okay? Is and then to say she don't know
Speaker 2: who's been asked like that? And am I too old?
Speaker 2: I feel too olden this and that's crazy.
Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: No, but yes, the like to them, know, I really do.
Speaker 4: I really do wish them all the best because I
Speaker 4: know that they're working hard. I just personally don't want
Speaker 4: to see it. Yeah, no, that next Jen, I mean
Speaker 4: it was it's a cute s cast.
Speaker 2: You got your Brooksmarts, you got your Ariana Bearman, you
Speaker 2: got Gia GDJ Judice. That girl, you know, loses me
Speaker 2: a little bit because I don't think she's very bright
Speaker 2: and comes from a family of questionable decisions. So if
Speaker 2: she's pre law, I need to go see what record's
Speaker 2: talking about, because clearly the barn is left. The bar
Speaker 2: is so low. I'm a little concerned because no good
Speaker 2: lawyers of anybody in your situation, Curly, but the dependently
Speaker 2: girdl lawyers of ours king and hers, because she stills
Speaker 2: got her moneys and she still got her job. And
Speaker 2: as long as Atlanta is kicking on Bravo, I will
Speaker 2: be watching. My concern is that because of this new
Speaker 2: you know group in cast and this the brid of
Speaker 2: it all not having any repercussions, I'm not super interested
Speaker 2: in Atlanta's like the last thing I'm holding onto because
Speaker 2: as you said, with this jin next view, soho, I
Speaker 2: don't really recognize the b that we have anymore. I
Speaker 2: don't recognize any I think someone like to ominously end
Speaker 2: you know on this know what I think they said,
Speaker 2: y'all know that baby shower picture of Andy's baby shower.
Speaker 2: Apparently only like four women are actually still employed on
Speaker 2: their original franchises. Of that entire photo.
Speaker 1: Girl, look at it now.
Speaker 2: It is crazy because if you think about all the
Speaker 2: Dallas girls gone, that show is over put tomn over
Speaker 2: half of them are gone.
Speaker 1: They they do who the Dallas girls.
Speaker 2: A different set, A different set, a different set. Let's
Speaker 2: let's filter on Biker Tree a little bit better and
Speaker 2: a different you do it?
Speaker 1: They start with the same girls and then filter them out.
Speaker 4: If y'all could kick yall miss thees, Hey, get the
Speaker 4: get the kicking everybody out. You feel what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: Bring them, bring them problematic breast besties back, give them
Speaker 4: some wine and they cuked.
Speaker 1: Let them be problematic again, and then let's just do
Speaker 1: to some things said. We have decided not to film
Speaker 1: with women.
Speaker 2: Whatever that girl name is, Brandy. Yes, they m the
Speaker 2: Asian hater. Yes. I I just wonder where Bravo is added.
Speaker 2: It seems like house ifs are the only thing of
Speaker 2: Bravo that I recognize right now. And even that is
Speaker 2: like quickly, like they're there. It seems like they're really
Speaker 2: eager to make the shift. And you're the ones who
Speaker 2: are like, hey, you'll lose us, and you're like, we're
Speaker 2: going in a different director, girl, And I say, who
Speaker 2: is to blame? I don't really know. I maybe it's
Speaker 2: a ninety two million dollar birthday party, is the reason
Speaker 2: I don't have the TV on Bravo anymore.
Speaker 1: Guess I think that is it. I think on the
Speaker 1: ninety two million dollar birthday party, because that's.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I will do. You know what, that's
Speaker 2: the title of this episode. No one know what the
Speaker 2: hell we're talking about. The ten million dollar birthday party
Speaker 2: that is not mine. I'm getting a windshield for my
Speaker 2: birthday and watching the house. Come on, come on, correspondent.
Speaker 2: Y'all all just showed me her Bravo bag because you
Speaker 2: know she'd be she'd be invited to places. I cannot
Speaker 2: wait for you to watch this bad influence.

Speaker 6: I'm no, please you as soon as you do, in fact,
Speaker 6: in fact, like please feel free to take notes or
Speaker 6: live like text me because it's so wild every five
Speaker 6: or so minutes.
Speaker 2: But I have to have a parent's perspective come back
Speaker 2: and talk about this. Yes, I really do, because anybody
Speaker 2: else would be like everybody should be in jail, right,
Speaker 2: But I don't even know if it's severity of this
Speaker 2: is well, piss.
Speaker 1: A mom off, you know what I mean, So that

Speaker 4: real life I am working in local politics and I
Speaker 4: couldn't just give you all the videos the same way
Speaker 4: that I was given them because of real life. So
Speaker 4: we were taking the real life and the goings on
