Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Hello, beautiful wonderful mixologist. It's your girl Money and you are in the mix with Money and k I from from Beauty and Black from vo Wear Black. Oh my god, Hi, how are you doing? Hello?
Speaker 2: Glad to be back again. And guess what you guys, She's gonna be on my podcast too.
Speaker 1: So it's like, yep, yep, It's like, hey, let's see what can you can you do? Lady listen? Why if you doesn't if it's not broke, don't fix it. But I'm all for it too, for like a two for one, like a two birds one stone thing, like let me talk about the same shit pretty much. So we were gonna talk anyway, we might as well. You know what you want to you just okay, sign a bag. You can get a bag. We can have a key, key the people can have a nice time all well, all as well. And it just so happens that Beauty and Black is heavy on my mind because I fell asleep to it.
Speaker 1: Well I try to. I actually was just telling you, yeah, and get to my nap, because I put it on yeah to take my nap. And this is how I got sucked in the last time, the very first time. It doesn't work. I put it on the Beauty and Black Tyler periods Beauty and Black on Netflix. Part two just came out March sixth, and I watched the first part when it came out. I literally every day three o'clock, I put it on and I wait for doctor wife person to text me that she's done patients at five six something. So I put it on me and the dog he's sleep.
Speaker 1: I rolled over to be like, now what a listening to? That can't be the sentence that follow whatever she just said, and then never fell asleep during the show. Again. I don't know why I thought this time would be different, but I tried and I did it. It didn't work, so my gnat was skipped, but the girls have caught up. The dogs looked at me with judgment at some point, like I know we're not watching this now, hanh. They're like, well, we cut off Bluey for this. Mom come on, this is wild. This is wild.
Speaker 1: We know we're Negro dogs, but.
Speaker 2: Come on, like this is a little bit too African American.
Speaker 1: This is a little bit Can we please you hit the Australians up for a little bit or something? But more on that on OK Show because we it's like we're all trying to pacify the time where we're not like, if you're not constantly refreshing the news and seeing what's going on, you're constantly trying to avoid it so that you can have mental peace, which means that you go to fill your time up and entertain yourself with other things. And those other things right now have ranged between like Facebook posts that I don't know, a realer fake sometimes AI created Crew Trunk true crime stories, and a lot of bad TV on Netflix, the scripted shows, and then a lot of you know, the typical Bravo bullshit and but not even bullshit, really good shit.
Speaker 1: Atlanta good shit, Oh my god. So I'm obviously this is gonna be a trick question, but did you see the premiere of Atlanta? Again? Boy?
Speaker 2: Did I on time?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: And everything okay, okay, one thing about Atlanta. You'll never be able to get me to not watch these women, and that premiere gave new old and everything in between. And I just want to first start off by apologizing to Shemia because I'm sorry. She's exactly who she thinks she is, and I didn't think that she was who she thought she was like the way that she showed out bae bae, but obviously we're gonna get to it.
Speaker 1: But yes, no, no, like for real, why to be honest, I didn't know we were gonna build a whole show around Shemia. I didn't know that until watching it. And I will say, as much as we're like all we're you know, depending on where you are on the spectrum, we're all pretty dialed in with knowing what's going on before we watch, you know, sixteen seasons. We know what's happening before. We're not like a brand new it's hard for them to get something past us. But I felt like even though we knew a lot of stuff, I was still surprised by some things.
Speaker 1: Like I knew Shemia had money, but I didn't know it was this much money, And so we got all like lone one. Like I knew she had a personality beyond Porsche, but I didn't know it was like this, like she was actually funny and like that. That makes sense as to how they even became friends. Like I knew, you know, that we would have new girls, but I didn't know they'd be, you know, all built around Shemiah. But I did always think that Shemia was rich enough to be on the show, but I always thought her husband wouldn't let her, Like I feel like that's what she let us know or let us think for a while.
Speaker 1: Is that like for like the last like ten years or whatever, he just wasn't comfortable with their whole life being on display like that, which I can understand, especially during the time that she was friends of if you think of that, the Nini years, the King, the Kenya, and the candy of it all, like in the Porsche, A lot of mess, a lot of collateral damage. You know, you saw what they were putting a girl, even ourselves through and things like that, even while pregnant. And I can understand that.
Speaker 1: But I could also I guess see because I was wondering what might have changed his mind. But I guess maybe the premise of you know, we will build it around you and your classy are friends. You know, quote unquote that we always start. We start that way with our friend group, come to a new housewife thinking that their friend group won't be that friend group, and then it becomes that friend group. So I'm thinking, like, maybe that's what happened, But I don't know what it took for us to get this long before we got shmia.
Speaker 1: But maybe it just happened that the stars aligned and this was her time to shine, because shine she did.
Speaker 2: And I'm just like looking for a local HVAC class at this point. But when when she was like like, Okay, I knew her husband was African, but I thought that his money came from being like like if that sounds so ignorant, but I thought, no, it's.
Speaker 1: Not your fault. It's it's it's watching Atlanta for years. African Prince, this missed the chocolate. That not Jerian prince, this doctor. That is not even our fault. We have been conditioned to believe by the Roa ladies that an African king is like run them up in Atlanta and at any point in time, one of these girls are gonna snatch one and we will hear about it on the next season. So I but I love that she played into that joke as well, and she was like, yeah, you know, he's an African king, just kidding girls.
Speaker 1: He does h VAC for airports, And I said, you know what, that's gotta be a hefty ass contract. Airports are that's all you have to say, airport, airport, anything airport? Does he feel the vendom machines at the airport. That's a lot of vendom machines. That's money airport Like hello, Like and I'm thinking.
Speaker 2: Age if he's doing I don't know, Like I'm not like I've recently become like a travel girl. He meaning like maybe I take like maybe one trip a year. I'm not like Kendrick who's always you.
Speaker 1: Know, Hendrick, I'm plane, he got an itinerary.
Speaker 2: But I've been to the Atlanta Hartsviold Airport.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to take a tram to a train to a boat, like you gotta travel by bars.
Speaker 1: I hate the Atlanta Airport, my wife, you gotta Barfio Jackson, Atlanta shout out to the atl y'all airport sucks. And what's worse about it is that it's like half of the airport is Delta, who is like their biggest employer, and the other half is like all the other ghetto girls who we don't give a fuck about y'all and your other moneies. But you know, you got to take a train to get to any of your gates. My wife did her schooling in Atlanta for four and a half years, and I tell you every time I said, no, I don't like being here.
Speaker 1: We need to reconsider the terms of our relationship. She did. It's time we made it. We made it work. We got married. But and so did Shamia. She it feels like for how short they've been married ten years, I think I wasn't expecting it to be. Not saying that that's not that's any small eat good for her, you go off, But like also I thought it would be so much longer. It felt like it just gave like he loved him some heart, like you know what I'm saying. And it was just I wasn't expecting it to be. So what's what that good?
Speaker 1: Good in ten years?
Speaker 2: Huh?
Speaker 1: Because but the way she told that first day story, maybe it was true love at first sight.
Speaker 2: It ha, that's like I needed you to talk it out because it was just like what you did what on the first day?
Speaker 1: Girl? She went against Shemiah like pretty much debunked the cardinal rule of like being a whole outside you know, and trying to get you catch it the man like whole rule number one if you want to get like you know, wiped up if you listen to call her daddy early days. She gonna tell you act like you don't even have a butthole unless you want to do something with it. On date number ten and pays me extend like you never had one. You don't use your bib parts. What's a body part? You used the bathroom?
Speaker 1: What's the bathroom? But Shemia said bump that.
Speaker 2: Not only going to go number one.
Speaker 1: Girl took an advantage of this whole bathroom experience.
Speaker 2: Okay, like insane, insane. That also she told that story and then the end of the show he bought her Rose Royce. But it's a special kind of a rose I have even heard of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and of course he obviously girl, you should it right. You did it right. Nail on the head.
Speaker 2: She was sitting on the castle of Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Okay, the fact that we opened with her, it also didn't just show me that she had money and what she was talking about. When the producers were like could you wrap it up? Which I thought was a little bit rude, I'm like, don't y'all got time? And that the whole point it is like you here like all day, like just edit it. Yeah, it's okay. Well she gotta wrap it up. That's the whole you got the bandpont Brules cast talk got goddamn long, you let go okay, and what she got to say, like, okay, y'all, let Erica Jane talk a lot of high shit about them people and them confessionals for two years.
Speaker 1: But Shmia can't have her moment. But I love that she also didn't care and she continued to speak until the whole story and was like yeah, yeah, give me five seconds, and it went on for like five more minutes to my story right, But also it ate the story was very cute. I kind of like it. I would want to know more when to watch what happens live exactly.
Speaker 2: And I think he's gonna Andy's always gonna ask about it because that's what we're talking about on the internet. People are themes about it. People are like just talking about that story. And then just the fact that she's like the anchor of Atlanta, so he's gonna come right around. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now, since it's built around Shemiah mainly, that means that we have a couple of friendly, familiar faces that we know, Porsia being one of them. Is back. I thought it was a smart choice to show us Shemiah as our first person and then show us Porsche as our next person, because she's someone that we are familiar with, because the rest of the cast is pretty much either someone we don't know or we don't know where they stayed with Bravo at the time of the recording of this show. So because I'm like how many episodes, I really was curious to know how they were gonna treat Kenya, if we were gonna get anything, if added her out, because they do that.
Speaker 1: Bravo's real good at that. And apparently there was another housewife of Salt Lake City, which I remember reporting, and yet someone related that to me and I said that it was they would like me said that could not have been. I went back to the trailer and everything k and I said, oh my god, where did she go? That's what I thought they would do to Kenya, like we would just never see her. But here she is occasionally.
Speaker 2: And she, oh my god, like she is Like it makes I don't know, Okay, I want to know, would you rather have her in the capacity that we have her now where we're seeing her and of course she's being the king of that I know in love and you know, like she's can be more or would we rather have just had them edit her out because I feel like maybe, I guess you guys want to tell the story of like why she's not on there for the rest of the season, but it's like that's it just feels not fair to me.
Speaker 1: But it also I feel like we don't need them to tell us why she's not on in the rest of the season. If anything, you can just demote her like this. I feel like this is fine. We've seen this before. You can demote a you know, accountess Luyne and you know whatever. And Kenya is the kind of person even as a friend of she's gonna do what to do, She's gonna deliver because she's Kenya, not even trying to. She just can't help herself, like she can't not be so I mean like she's in the party and she's just like, so, wait, the ring is from this man or another man.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say which man. It was given very much, so you don't have a home Giselle and Monique like she's just gonna do her
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Kinya. So like I'm fine with I'm like, oh, if this is how we get her. I'm okay with this. I'm fine with this. I don't really need to see the revenge form plot, especially if y'all like, we're gonna punish her for it, unless you're wanting to show it to me to show me why you punish her for it, which in which case I'm like, but if you're gonna show it, then why punish her for it? Because you're you're you're doing it.
Speaker 2: And I think what I don't like is that she was trending, and you know they did all this promo. She feels more than well, okay, she didn't film a lot. I think that they said this was a Kimpyrus said that the event happened only a few weeks into production. I believe, but I'm saying, like, okay, but Faeder only came in. What I hear is a few weeks with production left. So you have the ability to put Phaedra in all the promo and outsides one on one and put her in the rounds and everything making the big return, but you just completely cut Kenya out.
Speaker 2: But you're using Kenya and she's not at these things. She's not being advertised like this, She's not even being acknowledged in the way that she should be acknowledged. So I'm just like, I don't I just I feel like it's a little bit disrespectful. Like if you don't want her on the show, or you want her to take a break, then don't show her. But if you're going to show what happens between her and Britain, I feel like we already saw how it started in the first episode, then just let her be on there and also let her be like, you know, a part of the compon circumstance.
Speaker 1: That makes sense, I guess. I feel like if there if there's gonna be a repercussion, then it doesn't make sense to me for the bottom line, for them to cut her out of the show, because like money, you already filmed it, don't scrap it because it's not a morality thing. Otherwise you wouldn't be bringing Phaedra back for literally the same thing. Like's crime was indirect, but it would fall in the court of law, it would fall under the pretty much the same scope of like what was done like sexual harassment slash, like you know, assault type things like even alleging that.
Speaker 1: Like so for that to be what Fasier gets kicked out for and then breathe, we we bring her back to replace Kenya at some point and Kenya gets kicked out for it. I've often wondered what hard on like production has for King is specifically that like they've always respected what that the fans need her, but they've always been itching to like or humble her or get rid of. Yeah, it's the same thing with with the with the costume, Like I remember that being something that really confused me because you cut her face and body out of the scene the entire time of like her wearing a stereotypically you know, adjacent a Native American costume.
Speaker 1: But I had to watch Countess Luine and do black face as Diana Ross every time that it's out there and lives for the world to see.
Speaker 2: So I made a statement about it.
Speaker 1: Right, it made her apologized. So I'm just like, I just it just feels like we have a problem with Knya specifically. Sometimes Yes, I understand, not really because I'm like, y'all can't show favoritism of problematic housewives like that because it's housewives. They're all problematic. That's kind of how we get here, Like there should be some moral you know, high ground or something. There should be a line, sure, and I understand that what Kenya has done allegedly what crossed that line. I'm just like, but I don't think that you care about the line.
Speaker 1: If Fadre is who you bring bad like, it just it doesn't connect. The punishment doesn't fit the crime to me, because I'm like, if it's a free for all, then it's a free for all, and like we can't show the poster or whatever, and that's it.
Speaker 2: Especially when you're on the same franchise in the same season.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep. The fact that that that that's crazy. But if I mean as someone who I love my Kenya. She was very rude to me when I first met her in twenty sixteen. But it's fine. I love my ken Wait, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. I have hot in Candy it was fine. Was that a hotel in Maryland? She? I'm like, do you not want to be greeted by fans? Because everything gives you love? Fans, right, and you love that we know who you are and this whole hell lobby and really it is just me and this other bro. There's like twenty five here who have no idea what the fuck is going on?
Speaker 1: But anyways, I digress. I love my ken yea. But like I'm Fader being back is I'm That's what I'm here for. I'm telling I love Padra.
Speaker 2: Okay, So how do you feel about Pedra shading the marriage's medicine cast every single chance she gets you?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: God, yeah, you guys.
Speaker 1: Because it's is like, I'm not above a check. She's a hustler, so she will work. But as soon as she gets that promotion from fried cook to franchisee owner, she's like, it's dust to all you bitches. I was never wearing a hairnet, never met him, I don't know, And I love that for me. I think that's fantastic.
Speaker 2: How did y'all know me?
Speaker 1: How did y'all meet Faedra? Apollo was a criminal? That's what Nini said the season as favorous opening scene where her and Apollo are sitting down and she has rhyme stoned islands in a furry lace road and says the bacon tastes much better from the farmer's market than it does from the grocery store while talking to a criminal who is her husband. I love the Lulufhedra who does not understand like that she when like to me and that's why I like her. And also as a fan of Traders. She brought Traders season two like the Trader.
Speaker 2: That I stayed with season three was because of what she did in season two exactly.
Speaker 1: She's the reason people watched season and they overloaded, they loaded up on Bravo and reality stars because they.
Speaker 2: And let them motherfucking get most of them off at the beginning of the season. But I will, I will just I will say Dolores being a win her Okay, Toche.
Speaker 1: Delorius is fine. I find it hilarious that like, because Delorius is like people not bright, like just period point blame, just.
Speaker 2: Like Loyalty, she was just like, which.
Speaker 1: Ain't hilarious because I was like, obviously, no one's watched Housewives, especially Tom Sanderval, because if you've ever watched a Jersey episode, Dolores cannot be framed or blamed as a as a trader. She will do not call her anything but a liar.
Speaker 2: Like I said, She's.
Speaker 1: An Italian woman who was a correctional officer in jail from Jersey, from Jersey and.
Speaker 2: Delorious, i'morn so loyalty is big, okay, based off like listen, I know that we're in this house, but as far as like me and you, we got this thing to the end. And if you're me, I'm gonna kill you yea suw or not? Like this is very real to me.
Speaker 1: Yes, she told I could have told Tom if you like accuse the Lords one time, she's gonna vote for you every time she gets.
Speaker 2: Because how dare you?
Speaker 1: How you call her a liar? When that lady stood up and shot it at Marche in her own living room and said, do not call me a liar? Oh boy, oh no, I said, now, how is she gonna do one of the Traders because they gonna call her a liar.
Speaker 2: A lot on the basis of the show, but.
Speaker 1: Delores on the Traders literally and her spoiler alert again like winning and lets me know, God blesses babies and fools. Because I was very worried about Dolores the entire time, because I was like, it's not bright and she has on blinders, like she gets one track minded very fast of like you're betraying me. I have to take you out. I'm like, this is not a hit. No, Laura is this is a game.
Speaker 2: That's exactly why I understood every If you're a Housewives fan, if you are a Mob Wives fan, if you are a fan of an Italian woman from an old school Italian from Jersey fan, you understand that loyalty to the very end is something that is important to them. It didn't matter what we were on. So when she was like, listen, Tom, I don't give a fuck. I'm voting again. I don't care if everyone in this house can say that Rob is a trader, Tom, fuck you, Like it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: She's going to waste a vote for the rest of the season, I was.
Speaker 2: This, Oh, why bar fuck you don't give I don't care Like that was so funny to me because I understood it, like care what we're doing. There is no strategy at this point because y'all got all the rest of the housewives out of here, y'all got all the rabble people out of here. It's just me by myself. I was a target at the beginning of this, you know show. Now we're getting to the end. I've made a lot of friends. You told me you wasn't a trader, all right, cool? Even if you are, I got you fucked Tom cause you accuse me of being a trader and that's.
Speaker 1: It and I love that. And you know what, Dolora is her and Gabby has such a heart on for Tom all season that I was fine with it because I love you to come on the show, be embarrassed, get his ass handed to him, and then have to go home.
Speaker 2: And I think that's great but amazing. And then like I know, I was like when Chrishelle went home, I was like, ah, damn, you know, foots are going to be off his neck.
Speaker 1: But no, They're like, oh I got it. I got it, And I'm glad about it. I really am. I wonder who they will put on there for next season. I have some brainstorm thoughts that I'll come back to about that. But I wonder get your last thoughts about Atlanta these new girls before we move on, because I'm seeing a lot of controversy or a lot of back and forth about specially this girl Kelly, and whether or not the newsies are coming out coming in too strong? Do we like seeing the drama up front? Do we like seeing But I also don't feel like there's drama.
Speaker 1: I feel like these are opinionated girlies from a friend group, like from a little click, it gives something, gives like this is Shemia's like mommy and me click or whatever, or these are her girly friends and her and Portia have always been friends over here, and now the two worlds are meeting, and it's kind of like, like what we the playful shade of like friend group or friend area versus friend area that we wanted the Jacqueline me a thing to be except something, something nefarious is going on there and you didn't want to admit it.
Speaker 1: But like that kind of energy but not so sinister. It's very like, so I know that this is her show, but really this is your show now, right, and you're our good Judy too, right, Like it's like okay, but Porta's like, but I brought her on this show, so it's giving. And Shamia is like, I'm a bad bitch with a rolls truck. Can we all ye look at my truck?
Speaker 2: We're all friends here. I just did not know that Shami was going to be the anchor to the show. I didn't know she was going to be so relevant to the show. I understand that they gave her a full time position. I knew that she was rich. I had no doubt in my mind that she was rich. But having two elevators in.
Speaker 1: Your home too, living to your closet and two.
Speaker 2: Kitchen islands Rose Royce. The fact that she can also be funny, like take Porscha to the strip club. I love strip club, so like when she did, that's a good friend right there, you know, I mean.
Speaker 1: I love that also, like Porscha can't film anywhere, but like on the sidewalking industries, and Shamia was like, you know what, girl, let's go bout someone's And I did love that she tapped her chanelle like girl, I got you to the strip, or like it's in the bag.
Speaker 2: We didn't have real quick.
Speaker 1: We'll be back as a person when I go to the strip club. If I have anything to say to the ladies, especially a nice I love giving a compliment on makeup, especially I can guess I can wear that in my real life. That looks good. To give some coins, some dollars because I'm taking up their time and we're working, ladies, you're you're filming here, but give the girl lease some love, you know, proper strip club etiquette. I love Shemia for.
Speaker 2: That exactly, also low key.
Speaker 1: She's giving like the new candy mm hmm, yeah, because she's taking the tea to the you know, she's spilling the tea, not the champagne. She's spilling the tea. She's over here like okay, well, but then she's also being upfront. She's not even trying to be messy or a bone collector like Charae. She's being like, right, oh, you're gonna say wow, like yeah.
Speaker 2: But that's what I want because I said, yeah, she's not being like brown when either when she was okay, So what happened was Kelly said some things about Porsche. She was like, why did you take that?
Speaker 1: Lady?
Speaker 2: Husband. I didn't like that because Kelly, who are you? First of all, even though why did she but.
Speaker 1: The questions they need answers. He was right, she wasn't necessarily the messenger. I was hoping for the vehicle to get those answers. I wanted it too, but I said, oh and we know.
Speaker 2: That, like now we're not even gonna get like really what she was. But anyways, so I like that Shamia. Like Kelly said what she said, she told Porscha who we know to be her friend. And then before the party, she tells Kelly, Hey, I'm just gonna let you know that I told Porscha because you know, that was kind of out of pocket for you to do. And I think that when like, at first I thought that was who Brahmin was on Salt Lake City, but when I realized who Braun was, brom was doing it because she wanted to get ahead and with Lisa's ass and kind of like be the person who told you, but because she didn't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 2: Shamia is genuinely like, I'm friends with both you and I want to be transparent, and I did check her. So I liked that the New Girls Kelly already told you. I don't like how she just came in hot like that, but it did make for a good episode period. Okay, I did not think that I was gonna like Angela Oakley as much as I would. I thought she would be stuck up and because you know, like her husband, like I don't know sports, but her husband is a legend in sports.
Speaker 1: I don't either. But I did call Mayam and was like, oh my god, Charles Oakley. She was like yeah, I was like, he is on the TV. He is at the party, the basketball player has landed and then telling me stats and I kicked her out promptly, oh never mind, never mind, Yeah, this.
Speaker 2: Is I'm not going to do this on my podcast. He will tell me I'm getting messy. But I texted Kendrick and I was like, Charles Oakley, hmm he was on Space Jam, wasn't he? Because I'm like, hmmm, this is important basketball player. I know there was a Charles My only reference about face Jim tell me how, Kendrick says, yeah, I think so, Manu. Kendrick knows sports better than you know football, but he knows sports better than I do.
Speaker 1: I know, I look it up.
Speaker 2: It's so I'm like, listen, don't the Only.
Speaker 1: Reason I knew that to be true because when she said Charles Oakley on the show, I was like, is it that Charles Barkley or is he like the actual icon? And I'm like, no, he's an icon. I said, oh, then is it? And then I saw his face. I said, well that's not the ball headed man, right.
Speaker 2: That's smartly.
Speaker 1: Like or I'm like, dude, oh, Hendrick, like I'm not.
Speaker 2: He sassed me off so bad with that. But anyways, it was funny, but he's he's a legend. I thought that she would be stuck up because she truly is a basketball wife. I thought she would get not Jackie energy, because Jackie's not suck up, she's just not down. Yeah, but she was real. Her her wig lifted and I'm like, oh, a girl after my own.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and her husband was like, go fix that. That was so But I love it. Come on, love people like baby yeah, Edges, let's get him late, hold on, we're on TV exactly.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that is the kind of relationship that I need.
Speaker 1: Is giving love. It's giving love. He's a fan of his and I love that. But she was Charles, oh, Glee, thank you you don't know, you better know, I said, and I for your man. I understand it. Girl.
Speaker 2: I like her, Okay, okay, So Britt. I just had this predisposition that I don't like her because even though she's the victim, which is terrible, I don't like that she's the one who got Kenya like kicked off the show, and I don't like, what did you do?
Speaker 1: What did you do did you do to get her? So round? It's not a victim blame, but like Kenya, who to this, so like, and you know.
Speaker 2: What you're talking with? And when I saw her on the first episode, and I feel like the whole ring thing, Although it could be perceived as shady, I guess I didn't. It didn't come across as that because she had her ring on the wrong finger, she had her engagement ring on, she didn't have her wedding band on. So Kenya was genuinely just trying to figure out, Hey, so two rings or are you engaged?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Is it your second husband? Like, what's the deal? And even if she was being shady, that wasn't like something to get like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder how we escalate because I definitely felt like I wasn't. Oh, Kenya, you shady as hell. But again it felt like the being at the at the Willard with the girls and Monique. It was like, oh, I don't have a home. We're looking for a home of Potomac. Oh you don't have a home. Is it a real question? Yes? Is it a shady way of phrasing it?
Speaker 2: Also? Yes?
Speaker 1: But do we want to know? Yes? Are you being clear?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: So we have questions. So she was like, so is it a ring from a different man? And I was like, no, can't get wait, just let her tell it. You aren't explaining this well, so if you give Kenya an inch, she gonna take a yard of shade. Okay, but I wonder how we escalate to where she then wants to defame your character exposure.
Speaker 2: If I put aside my feelings about Kenya and what happens, I do think that I can like breat like I don't know, I.
Speaker 1: Like just I feel like at this point, this this is low key Bravo's fault because I'm like, you could just continue the show the way it is now. We're like, what was her name? Elise was supposed to be on New York. She was supposed to be a full time housewife. They filmed the whole thing, and we're like, she's not great, we'll make her And that was pretty much it. You have the power to actually wipe her as much as you want, but making a big like to do of like we're kicking you out and replacing you.
Speaker 1: It's weird. I just want to know, like, why then, why are we seeing her at all? If that's like, if it was that big of a deal that like we have to get rid of her, she can't be here when we've let Luanne come back and Karen I'm sure has a spot open for her. Like we've had a lot of like toxic and reckless behavior on you know, the shows, especially on Atlanta. So it's just like, I wonder what makes it be a fireable offense? How do we jump from the rings that don't mean a lot. I don't even remember them.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember this girl's name in here. She this og is gonna end up being like cap I think it.
Speaker 2: May be because it was. They would look terrible if we found out that Kenya did quote unquote revenge porn on this girl and then she was the one who ended up getting a race from the season.
Speaker 1: M No, I mean Kenya, let's just erase her from the scene.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, I thought you meant like no, yeah, no, I'm saying, like anything. Why did we see her in the first episode?
Speaker 1: Obviously she's useful enough because from where I'm sitting, Kenya didn't come in as a as a as a full time housewife. This first episode we didn't see you know, we don't we never get talented. But we didn't see like at home at home, and we didn't see any of that.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, yeah, you're right, that's what I'm saying. For us to sign, I was like, would you rather have her in this capacity or would you rather like not have her at all?
Speaker 1: Like I would loved. I think that this is fine. I think this is fine. I don't know what it looks like to edit it, edit her out completely at some point, because I'm like, you could have just done this. You actually could have just been like, we're not firing you. You're being demoted like you you're you fucked up, like on a thing. James Kennedy was allowed to apparently film like seven years and they knew that he was slapping girlies around and they were just like, hey, stop that, we're filming. And then it was like, where's the line.
Speaker 1: It can't be a poster is worse than Ali getting slapped. She's a human being.
Speaker 2: And Christy got her asked me too.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so what is it? I have questions, So I don't know. These nebies came in a little bit hot. I don't know how I feel about the new person being the vehicle, you know, to stir stuff up or portia, because I actually feel like we're not going to get answers from it. Now, That's what I was genially feel like, if we knew it was a safe space, her and Shamia episode three or four probably would have had a nice little, you know, situation on the couch of like, who the F did I marry? Here's why that DAP that I gave him at Fallon's house was so fake?
Speaker 1: You know a lot of things. I just have a lot of questions, like and I think that now because a stranger is doing this, and Shemiah, her good Judy, is like, hey, I know we felt we had time, but we don't. She mentioned it already, and Porcha's like, ain't this filming for episode yes? And like, uh huh, so we already talked this morning at eleven it's three bring up your husband and the things. And so now Porsia got like she she you know, she hung her down and put them wall emotional walls up, you.
Speaker 2: Know, yes, And I think that that's why I'm not feeling Kelly, because I'm like, you really like Porch. It's also just like, okay, Portia, you didn't explain to us when you had your own spin off. Then you got mad at Brable because your family was acting.
Speaker 1: Why are you mad at Brava, be mad at your family. I saw that show. It was awful, Kendrick, have me watching ever? Said Kendrick, this is and I was one. I grew up on VH one and that ship was wild good.
Speaker 2: It was so good. And then she like stopped on. She talked family, not to talk about whatever happened last night, like it was just so much that happened. Like and I would say that if you have a controlled environment into where you could explain to the world how you and Simon got together, why wouldn't you do it there? Because if we if you watch Portia's family matters, she talks about how the other together, but she doesn't address their elephant in the room. And I feel like you should have did that there, Porsche.
Speaker 2: But now you on Atlanta and these girls are out for blood. They're trying to make their mark, and hey.
Speaker 1: You should have known. Now at some point, I'm like Portia, you know the game.
Speaker 2: Say ready, so you don't have to get rid.
Speaker 1: Even if production was gonna be kind to you. These girls have jobs to secure and in their mind your half been this is their time. Now you shouldn't. Even everyone wants.
Speaker 2: To know the same thing. And also, to be fair to Kelly, She's like, well, infidelity was involved in my divorce, so I understand.
Speaker 1: So I can understand her instantly being like, I don't know about this woman. I don't know about this woman. I did like seeing seventeen bags being given to a seventeen year old. I find nothing love it. This is exactly what When I was seventeen, I too, asked for nothing but bags and purses all the time from fifth grade. Honestly, my first bag was a coach purse. It was black and yes, in the fifth grade, when I turned eleven, I wanted a purse. My nan is a disposable camera picture before she mailed it to me, Like is this the one?
Speaker 1: I said, yes, and I walked around my Texas private school with my little purse, put it in my locker. It literally was from door to locker, door to but I added, so said then I built a strong collection of all the girls, especially during the ten the twenty whatever the fucks, the junie and birds, and the guccies and the coaches and the juice. It could tour many on that. So when I saw this baby girl getting all the good stuff, I said absolutely. This is the kind of mom I'd want to have and want to.
Speaker 2: Be absolutely because that is the right age, especially we in social media like I'm sorry, Like if I had a kid, yeah, it's gonna be like you're gonna be like, oh, they're too spoiled. Just know they do get their ass when they need to be and that they're great where they need to be, So I don't spoil that happening. They're gonna be spoiled and they're gonna be stunning on you holes.
Speaker 1: Also, here's my thing is a woman who listens to a lot of true crime, and I just want to say, you know, this is a safe space race wise for everyone, but we know we keep it real hair at the mix with money. I just want to remind everyone when you say things like spoiled, spoiled is such a concept that only exists as a plague in the black community because for whatever reason, we are afraid of being like labeled in proximity to white kids who don't act well and thinking that that's because they're spoiled.
Speaker 1: It's parenting is the choice that you make, and how you parent is what makes your kids act like a badass or not. But a kid being well loved don't do don't mean shit. A kid having a lot of shit doesn't mean shit. I listen to a lot of true crime, and I hear a lot of these kids, a lot of them white, make a lot of mistakes. And it never sounds like from the it varies from the kid who had nothing to the kid who had everything, because it comes down is the paring ting. And it didn't sound like Kelly is a bad parent.
Speaker 1: It's sounded like her daughter's interest right now are in fashion, and she's like, I can invest in that interest, and that seems like a safe interest for a seventeen year old girl. Now. When I was seventeen, my interest was fashion, but a lot of people around these interests were not fashion. Yeah, were different, and their parents were spending money on bail and paying off crops and lawyers and things because they got this house party got busted, and that party got busted. In Senior Beach Week, I had all the drugs and stuff.
Speaker 1: This baby, we don't know enough yet, but it seemed like this baby got good grades, just wants to get her nails done every couple weeks and had a tea party with her mama and wants to be on TV. It's given good seventeen year old to me. I would love to do that for my child, and I love that she is prepared to do it for her other kids too. There's no favoritism she. It's like kind of like Candy, but Ken is actually really responsible with money. But she's also a tourist, so she believes in luxury. So if Kenny showed her true self, then I bet you she would be on the same page as this.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be her, but she would understand it. I think it's it's fine. I like that lady a lot. I have I reserve space for the newbies to be good to me, even when they're being bad to my og.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like, I just want to say that she saw you, Sma saw you wholes say love and hip hop, and she wasn't worried about it because she was like lovely hip.
Speaker 1: Hop where where there were casual Gucci shopping bags on the I want to say.
Speaker 2: Because I'm going to make this a point because you know I like to start itself mainly on Instagram. Yes, follow me at blah blah blah blah. You know I show my black ass one too.
Speaker 1: They're so funny over there, so funny.
Speaker 2: I would like to say that y'all want to say love and hip hop with real house eves of Atlanta. But I just saw a preview for a show called The Valley season two, and apparently they selling.
Speaker 1: The Valley is like could be on MTV. And that's all I'm gonna say about it. So come on after teen Mom too. I just think we need to let that know, let that be known. And that's fine. If you watched Team Mom two go off, well, I be watching The Valley absolutely, But has Vanna prompt Rules and the other ensemble cast shows of Bravo been We need to stop calling it reserving the ghetto comments for Atlanta because it's been trailer park on the other side of the country for a long time.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, looking at you, gass, gutar butts, ghetto. Okay, all all the good things. So y'all got onto.
Speaker 1: Your daddy's girls, it's scratching. I'm just saying we've had a long history on the West Coast of having some things be unsavory, a little problematic, a little hood lummy and not up to class, not very up to snuff. It's been a little trash a. So let's Shamia said, I'm not bothered because she had nothing to be bothered about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's like, oh, you'll see.
Speaker 1: Like before she even knew that she was going to be the center of this, she was like, lol is elevator. I can't hear you as I'm going down to my closet in the morning. I'm Every time they showed a part of her house, I said, now that makes sense, yup, yup. I want that.
Speaker 2: It doesn't even have an address, like.
Speaker 1: No, they just put the title on it. And I do private tutoring for, you know, rich families in the DMV area. And I do love specifically, like when the house manager emails me a block of not instead of just like the house numbers, like the thirty first hundred block of I'm like, what does that mean? And occasionally it means yes, please give me the specific number upon arrival, you know, and then sometimes it means no, bitch, they owned the whole block. So I love going in there and going yes, okay, sure, yes, you know it's a good house.
Speaker 1: When Kenya v More and Cynthia go no, this is a beautiful house and just love it.
Speaker 2: Oh oh my god, someone had a Lake Lake Bailey, woth are like, wait, this is different.
Speaker 1: Can you give a woman a couple on or her mansion? Oh my god? Wait what world are we in? And her house being nine million dollars? I mean even me in the DNV, I'm like, that's not a lot of money. But as someone who used to live in Georgia for a brief amount of time, I know it also didn't need to be that much money, which is kind of crazy, like it never needs to be that expensive of a home. It was, and beyond that, she was like it was the most expensive house or the second most expensive sale of that year.
Speaker 1: So regardless of what I think about it, I'm like, my god, this woman's making history. Is black people owning, you know, property that has tied.
Speaker 2: Talking about like like like we said this on Raven's podcast, which is better. This was not just on Atlanta. This rivals Lisa Vanda Pump. This is the only thing that I've seen that.
Speaker 1: Because she's not renting it like the other half of the West Coast if they even have a home. This is this is the early days of Beverly Hills. Like Adrian Maloof and Vander Pump's houses, taking a limo from one house at the front of the block to the other house at the end of the block. That's something that Smia would do, and I would understand a golf park girly like she'd be like going to the compound, like I'm going on the side of the compound. I love it.
Speaker 2: I'm all in, all in and what it's all in and I can't wait to talk about it with you, talk about it with Kendrick, talk about it with Raven. Have you know when Aaron comes back talking like we are going to have us some good old black, old time, babe.
Speaker 1: This is about to be the best season. Because I was really worried when Potomac ended, Like I wasn't worried about Atlanta, wouldn't gonna keep me entertaining because I was gonna be there, regardless of television for the rest of my life. But when Potomac ended, I was like, my god, that was a strong reunion. I feel like I just had a good buzz. And I wake up the next day going, so what we're gonna get into and Rob baby, this sit on down and I'm glad. I'm sad. Season sixteen is off to the races, and it's a very good start.
Speaker 1: I'm very pleased and very happy with what I experienced. I stood up and clapped three separate times, like I said, ab yes, ma'am, yes to me, and give me that. Yes women, women, women, I mean, I love these ladies. I'm so glad. Atlanta is bad. I don't even know these ladies, and I'm like, I love these ladies. I just love Atlanta. I like the new fresh graphics. I think we're off to a really good start. It feels new, it feels fresh, but it also feels yeah, yes, and it feels intentional, like someone is taking the page.
Speaker 1: I had to like the chanel Ion Book of Confessionals. See the whole body. I want to see the feet. I want to see the cut of the gown. I want to see the whole thing. Give me the ruffles. I want it all, and she got it all to give me, so I'm very ready. I love it. I'm so happy. Hearing Porsche talk to me is just like music to my ears. Shout out to Randy, her lawyer. I'm so happy to see him in business. Still my girl, get her out of this. I'm so upset, so I'm excited. For the season. I'm here to I'm excited to learn more, and just it's free Porsche.
Speaker 1: That man is terrible. I hate narcissistic, terrible men. And while we're freeing Porsche, let's free my girl. When d Williams as well, that's where I note I really yeah, no, but for real, Look, I've been on this ride that I've been watching Winni william since I was in middle school. Every day would come home from the bus and turn that lady on and she would tell me about the hot topics of the day at four pm. Was it a rerun? Yes? Did I watch it extensively every single day? Yeah? Okay. So when this show ended and Sherry Shepherd took it over, I said, oh, no, betrayal.
Speaker 1: I didn't like it. Haven't watched since. Okay, okay, but this I don't know. I think I'm positively looking forward to her interview with the View and free my girl, Wendy Man. That's that's it. And yeah, whatever Andy's announcement is. Did you hear that Andy Cumen was making an announcement in April?
Speaker 2: In April they suspect that Andy specifically was making one, But I have heard gossip that there are a lot of the There are specifically five names I forgot the rest of them, five names of people that they are trying to or specifically allegedly bringing back to Bravo in a capacity. One of the names, Arnie Mee, leaks allegedly. I'm not saying this is from a good source. I'm just saying what I heard. And the other name Bethany Frinkle in an Ultimate Girls trip of capacity apparently. I don't know if I believe it or not.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I also heard a rumor that any might be allegedly like stepping down or something in some capacity to hope I know.
Speaker 2: That I'm the only person left on the planet. That's like, No, I don't want him to stay.
Speaker 1: I can see what we're what we're looking at. I don't know what that would look like. I'm not excited for him to leave. I'm not excited for him to say it to like, I don't know what that would look like because he's always just been there. But I also don't watch watch it that is live every day, and I'm like, I'm pretty sure he would still be the only person who hosts the reunions. I don't know what's stepping down? Would even I can.
Speaker 2: See that because he is a father of too.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so you know it is what it is. I much like the first rumor better. I would like anything Ninny leaks. She has been playing very nicely on the internet, so I'm hopeful for that. But yeah, we'll see in the meantime, y'all can find me. You know, see it on my couch watching Atlanta every week and you know, tuned into what the Caucasians are doing as well, because I like to see them mess up, y'all. I'm on Southern hospitality. That's a different conversation. Will have a different day when I don't have to pick up my wife.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you them duh duh wow ah boy, oh boy, it's Southern hospitality. I I should have listened earlier, but I got ADHD real bad.
Speaker 2: So but that just made it all all much better, because.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, I'm already halfway like through season two. It's fantastic television. I'm going to get that.
Speaker 2: Oh wait until you get season three. Baby.
Speaker 1: Oh. I heard people are like praying on their downfall. They're like, I hope these kids never make money. They still like this forever and I'm like, well.
Speaker 2: What's going on? This is we don't have Vingo pump pools anymore. And even when we did have Vno pumpoules, we didn't have them working at the at the you know, at the restaurant anymore. We had them grown up. We have a pump rules and we have people crashing out, cheating.
