Speaker 1: So much has been happening that we have to dive
Speaker 1: right into it. First thing first, Atlanta is back.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's back. Kenya Moore, by the way,
Speaker 3: is actually in the preview and we didn't know were
Speaker 3: we getting Kenya? Were we not getting Kenya. We're getting
Speaker 3: a little Kenya.
Speaker 1: We are getting the Kenya Moore, the iconic, lesiondary woman
Speaker 1: that she is. This show has been put on Pauls
Speaker 1: for I think almost a year if that, and it
Speaker 1: is by far the most anticipated Housewives season ever, I
Speaker 1: would say ever in life. I think people are like,
Speaker 1: we've been waiting on Atalanta. Atlanta is just very special
Speaker 1: when it comes to the zeitguis of not only reality television,
Speaker 1: but the Real Housewives brand, and baby I want to
Speaker 1: get her thoughts on the season sixteen trailer that has
Speaker 1: usher Portia Williams as the face of the show.
Speaker 2: Let's have a real conversation, Okay.
Speaker 3: I thought the trailer was actually really good. I'm you
Speaker 3: know now, Look, trailers have sucked me in before and
Speaker 3: then the season gets here and you're like, where are
Speaker 3: these moments? What you know this? Where is all this action?
Speaker 3: I thought the trailer was amazing. I really did. I
Speaker 3: cannot wait to see Portia. You know our guys, Simon
Speaker 3: has already come out. I mean, Simon can't wait to
Speaker 3: expose her, her mama. I mean, I think everybody her daughter, Dennis,
Speaker 3: the hot dog king Dennis, Dennis is going down. I mean, right,
Speaker 3: you know, what are you going to do for Dennis?
Speaker 3: He's just trying to sling those hot dogs and Dennis
Speaker 3: is toast. I mean I loved it was How the
Speaker 3: hell are we still messing around with Dennis? How is
Speaker 3: Dennis in the trailer? Okay, like I mean.
Speaker 1: Listen, because Dennis is the actual biological dead of Polar
Speaker 1: their daughter. So the thing is this, at least for
Speaker 1: the next eighteen years, Dennis is going to be around,
Speaker 1: you know, on a daily basis. What's fuddy is Simon,
Speaker 1: who has never met an Instagram post that he didn't
Speaker 1: use his thumbs for, decided to already Sarah just throw shade.
Speaker 1: And I feel like Simon is going to be a
Speaker 1: YouTube content creator or a blogger and is going to
Speaker 1: recap every single episode just based on these small all
Speaker 1: part where I think it was Portia's mom, the beautiful
Speaker 1: Miss Diane, who says something about Simon and It's like
Speaker 1: it was two seconds and you sent a fucking four
Speaker 1: page later letter. Excuse me about you're going to expose them?
Speaker 2: What are we doing here?
Speaker 3: But I know, I mean, he is I have to
Speaker 3: imagine with Portia and I know you were at their wedding,
Speaker 3: but I have to imagine that is the greatest, like
Speaker 3: one year mistake she has ever made in her life.
Speaker 3: Like he is not He's not going to go away. Okay,
Speaker 3: what did you think though? I thought it was great.
Speaker 3: I mean Kenya more like halfway through the trailer is
Speaker 3: so fascinating to me. And then I think they're alluding
Speaker 3: to Britt and the picture like you know, Kenya destroys Kenya,
Speaker 3: she you know, self destructs. So seems like we're going
Speaker 3: to get Kenya up until that point.
Speaker 1: What do you I think so too? No, no, I
Speaker 1: was happy to see Kenya. Everything is saying, it's true.
Speaker 1: Appears that we are going to see Kenya up until
Speaker 1: the point where she's no longer on the show. So
Speaker 1: we are able to see possibly again. What led up
Speaker 1: to the decision that Kenya made the night of her
Speaker 1: her SPA opening.
Speaker 2: She has a hair in Spa. I want to make
Speaker 2: it right she has a hair spa salon.
Speaker 1: She had a grint opening for it, and that's when
Speaker 1: she allegedly showed some very intimate photos of new cast
Speaker 1: member Britt that unfortunately got her not on the show anymore.
Speaker 1: They're saying is we still don't know if if it
Speaker 1: was mutual or not, but we will get to see her,
Speaker 1: So I am happy about that when I saw the trailer.
Speaker 1: One thing I'm realizing now when it comes to the
Speaker 1: release trailers, they are not trying to give you more
Speaker 1: than what they used to do back in the day.
Speaker 1: Because back in the day, day day, Sarah Frasier, Honey,
Speaker 1: you would get every thing coming attractions, you would know everything,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it works, sometimes it didn't. Yeah, some people
Speaker 1: felt like, well, you're kind of giving us everything in
Speaker 1: the trailer. Watched, We watched the season, So I think
Speaker 1: what's happening now is they're giving you a little bite
Speaker 1: here or there. And for that I understand. I understand
Speaker 1: why people are like, we wanted to be explosive. I
Speaker 1: get that too, but I do think there's something to
Speaker 1: be said about a trailer making you wait until the
Speaker 1: season to watch it completely. So for that I get
Speaker 1: and I will say this. Those girls look good, the
Speaker 1: show looks good. Oh my god, let's get into the
Speaker 1: new beads. So I want to start with Shemiah.
Speaker 3: I love it. And wait, by the way, don't you
Speaker 3: think too. There's a real emphasis on how rich they are,
Speaker 3: you know, because right, yeah, okay, Potomac, we know the
Speaker 3: ladies like right, I'm from the DC region, like I
Speaker 3: love them there my ride or died. But you know,
Speaker 3: we know nobody is like suber rich. Okay, and probably
Speaker 3: the same thing for Salt Lake City. But it's very
Speaker 3: interesting to me that trailer. Really, I feel like money
Speaker 3: was at the forefront. They wanted us to know this
Speaker 3: cast was wealthy, big time in Atlanta, right, do you
Speaker 3: feel I felt that way more than we've seen Okay,
Speaker 3: it felt it felt Beverly Hills that way, Like we're
Speaker 3: gonna show you the you know, high high end of Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Yes, on the money pun intended. So you've got a
Speaker 1: chance to see.
Speaker 2: The Ermez logo, you know.
Speaker 1: But the it's a place in Buckhead called like the
Speaker 1: Buckheat Plaza, and it has all the high end stores
Speaker 1: from Urmez to the Ore. So it's it's what Atlanta
Speaker 1: calls like the rod a drive of Atlanta. So to
Speaker 1: see those store of fronts was alluding to the fact
Speaker 1: that these women are wealthy Shamiah going back to her,
Speaker 1: she also showed her wealth Miss Thing has an elevator
Speaker 1: in her home that goes up to her closet and
Speaker 1: my rain jobs know all about my cloth thists. Okay,
Speaker 1: So to see Shamiya, I mean Sarah an elevator and
Speaker 1: then then Sarah, let's talk about this really fast. My
Speaker 1: favorite part of the trailer that shows me like, ooh,
Speaker 1: we're getting something juicy. Shamilla's opening line was, and I'm
Speaker 1: paraphrasing course, but she says something along the lines of
Speaker 1: being someone's background.
Speaker 2: Player and she's not at the forefront.
Speaker 1: And then to see a minute later, her and Porsche
Speaker 1: sit down and address their friendship and Porscha yngs and Shamia.
Speaker 2: Goes, am I boring you.
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a second, what is going on with
Speaker 1: Shamiyah and Porsche?
Speaker 2: Girl?
Speaker 3: I know I love the newbies, and there's many newbies.
Speaker 1: Three four see Okay, we got Samia, britt, Edie, Angela,
Speaker 1: and Kelly, So four four new girls.
Speaker 3: Kenya is going to be there for a while.
Speaker 1: Portia, Drew Duseph Dora, Cynthia Bailly's a friend of.
Speaker 3: It's right, and Cynthia will comes back right, right right,
Speaker 3: and Fader comes back at the end. Okay, wow, how do.
Speaker 2: You feel about cat Pedra coming back?
Speaker 3: I love Faedra Parks. I'm a favor Parks fan from
Speaker 3: many a years ago. You know I always told this.
Speaker 3: I probably told this on your podcast too, But when
Speaker 3: I was working in radio on The Cane Show, we
Speaker 3: had bailed Bobby Brown out of jail. This was like
Speaker 3: for one of the times he never paid child sport.
Speaker 2: Wait, you guys bailed him out.
Speaker 3: Well, we bailed him out, and he was supposed to
Speaker 3: come to DC and co host for a week with us,
Speaker 3: and we paid his twenty five thousand dollars child support
Speaker 3: bill and his bill. But Phedra Parks was his attorney
Speaker 3: year's ago. And the fagor Parks we dealt with is
Speaker 3: not the Fhager of today. Let me tell you she
Speaker 3: like embarrassed for her class because you know, we bailed
Speaker 3: Bobby out, and then Bobby refused to come to DC.
Speaker 3: He was like, no way, I'm not coming, Like I'm
Speaker 3: not co hosting the guys like, screw all of you,
Speaker 3: and we were like, then we want our money back.
Speaker 3: Faedri just I feel like faeder strikes the balance of
Speaker 3: keeping us entertained without being so thirsty. I mean, we
Speaker 3: all know there's thirst there, but it's she just I
Speaker 3: think she does a great job of the balance.
Speaker 1: So good that Bobby Brown's story is so hilarious to
Speaker 1: me because the fact that the fact that you guys
Speaker 1: paid the bond to get him out, only for him
Speaker 1: to bail puntitentent out on you guys. Faga Parks is
Speaker 1: the attorney. So my question to you is this, did
Speaker 1: he ever show up eventually?
Speaker 3: No, he never showed up, and they did pay the
Speaker 3: money back. They actually did pay the money back. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: and we thank you.
Speaker 1: Well, there's something to be said about that. Thank you, Bobby,
Speaker 1: Thank you. Pedra Child. We are just getting started. This
Speaker 1: is reality with the King and I'm Carlos King. Let's
Speaker 1: get back into the show. So Phedra is back. We
Speaker 1: have four new girls. We got Brett Edie. She's beautiful.
Speaker 3: God, They're all gorgeous, but gorgeous.
Speaker 2: Yeah. She was in a ferrari at a dealership.
Speaker 1: She put her legs up her boyfriend, fiance, her husband,
Speaker 1: We an't know yet what she is taught her for
Speaker 1: her leg down and then we see her crying after
Speaker 1: it was revealed that Kenya Moore showed something at her
Speaker 1: grand opening of her spot.
Speaker 2: So that's what we kind of got with brit Then
Speaker 2: we had Kelly. Kelly.
Speaker 1: This is the thing that I was confused about. I
Speaker 1: really wish we would have known each woman's occupation because
Speaker 1: I felt like that would have helped us a little bit, right, Sarah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah you don't. Yeah, look
Speaker 3: it's a trailer, you know, but you don't know a
Speaker 3: lot about them. You're right, You're right, the new Girl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's my only No, I really wish we
Speaker 1: would have known their occupation, even if it was like
Speaker 1: lower Third, like you had a title when they popped
Speaker 1: up on screen that said Britt Dye, you know what
Speaker 1: she did for what she does for a living. Rather,
Speaker 1: that's my biggest note. I wanted to know, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you're selling us the wealth, what do these women do
Speaker 1: for a living? We know that Angela Oakley is married
Speaker 1: to Charles Oakley, who is an NBA legend. He is
Speaker 1: still rich, has a lot of money, she's beautiful and
Speaker 1: has it too, and then that leaves us. Okay is
Speaker 1: brit Angela, Kelly and Shamia.
Speaker 2: And Honey, I'm gonna tell you something that I've heard.
Speaker 1: What I was told that of all the houses that
Speaker 1: has ever been on the Real House Box of Atlanta,
Speaker 1: Shamia has the best house.
Speaker 2: Oh damn, they said. They said. Her house is.
Speaker 1: Jaw dropping, shockingly gag worthy, ferociously lit, like Palaytia, like
Speaker 1: Samia has a rich husband and lives a rich woman's
Speaker 1: like Sarah Fraser.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I want to see it. I don't need
Speaker 3: to see anybody living my life, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, like I mean we live, we
Speaker 3: live good. But like, Okay, yeah, I was reading Deadline
Speaker 3: has more about them, you know. Kelly Pharrell, big Bugi,
Speaker 3: mix of culinary couture as chef extraordinaire and owner of
Speaker 3: the well known atl staple Nana's Chicken and Waffles. Never
Speaker 3: going to be a dull mom.
Speaker 2: I have heard of that. I've heard of that.
Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead, Okay, Well, mom of four daughters and
Speaker 3: her recent divorce has been challenging after her eleven year marriage.
Speaker 3: But you're right, none of this in the trailer, we
Speaker 3: learned nothing of this. We know Drew, of course, Shemia,
Speaker 3: while not wanting to be defined by her wealth, family
Speaker 3: is Shamia's number one.
Speaker 2: Well look, Sarah oop.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Toma, I defined you by your welcome this podcast.
Speaker 2: Just now, I'll take you back. I'm sorry, I love you.
Speaker 3: I think we have nothing to say about her except
Speaker 3: for Oh, she's rich. Her daughters, Shia and her miracle
Speaker 3: baby Shiloh are her pride and joy. She wants to
Speaker 3: continue to grow her family with her husband of ten years. However,
Speaker 3: with the fear of another traumatic pregnancy, this made you
Speaker 3: rail the couple's long dream for another child. She was
Speaker 3: a quadruple elite threat and actor, singer, dancer, and host. Okay,
Speaker 3: well now she's time the rich life. But all right, yeah,
Speaker 3: uh huh, Bricky. She's an innovator that carved out her
Speaker 3: own niche in the insurance industry, transforming into mogul status.
Speaker 3: Britt built her million dollar agency alongside her sisters and
Speaker 3: met her husband, Michael there through the firm. While she's
Speaker 3: serious about her business, brit is basking in the glow
Speaker 3: of a ten carrot diamond ring and marriage to Michael, Oh,
Speaker 3: I want.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Well we love a tin carrot ring okay, bugs, bunny,
Speaker 1: we love a carrot.
Speaker 2: I want to get back.
Speaker 3: To all right, but right, we don't know much about
Speaker 3: him till you go and read like a deadline article.
Speaker 3: Right then you find out.
Speaker 1: Yes, And it's like, guys, we're busy by we I'm
Speaker 1: meeting the consumer. We don't have time to read. We
Speaker 1: listen to podcasts and we watched video. But it's good
Speaker 1: to know the accomplishments of this of these women. What
Speaker 1: was so interesting to me this trailer? And I wonder
Speaker 1: if you caught it, honest, see a lot of Drew
Speaker 1: sodorra and that was concerning to me.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're absolutely right, right, you're okay, Why is it concerning?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 3: Just think what they're almost going to treat Drew like
Speaker 3: a friend of Yeah, and you want more?
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, Drew and I have had a conversation about
Speaker 1: her presence on the show and what I love about Drew,
Speaker 1: like any of my girls who I'm able to, you know,
Speaker 1: get to know. She's like, Carlos, do you like me?
Speaker 1: I said, I like you, Drew? She said, Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't think you like me, I said, Drew, I like you,
Speaker 1: I said, but I have.
Speaker 2: Opinions about the scenes.
Speaker 1: It was give Me Lifetime Movie of the Week and
Speaker 1: we had a conversation about it and she and she
Speaker 1: said to me explicitly, I am being authentic and I
Speaker 1: hate that you don't find me authentic.
Speaker 2: And I said, that's fair. I sell that to say.
Speaker 1: We know that she's going through a divorce with Ralph,
Speaker 1: and I didn't see anything that told me anything about
Speaker 1: what she was going through. And that was like, way
Speaker 1: I want to see her and rap, are we not
Speaker 1: going to see Ralph this season? Are we not going
Speaker 1: to get insight on her divorce? There was rumors of
Speaker 1: Drusidora allegedly dipping the Lady pond. Are we not going
Speaker 1: to talk about that? So that's what made me concern.
Speaker 1: But again, the trailer, maybe the device was for us
Speaker 1: to like wait for it, but I didn't get a
Speaker 1: chance to a lot of du Soidora.
Speaker 3: No. And I agree with a lot of people who
Speaker 3: are saying the trailer. I enjoyed the trailer, but I
Speaker 3: get the criticism because there is also we've seen it
Speaker 3: since the reboot of Ronny This sort of like the
Speaker 3: women being friends and this level of like, oh, they
Speaker 3: just love going on girls' trips. They're trying to, I think,
Speaker 3: capture that from the past, right when we know the
Speaker 3: women were actually all back in the day, real genuine friends,
Speaker 3: and that's a little force to me. I think in
Speaker 3: these trailers, you know, of like they're all, oh, we're like,
Speaker 3: we're you know, we're all having fun, and I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, it does there's a big
Speaker 3: emphasis on that, and you know, I'm not sure I
Speaker 3: like that because some of these friendships are so forced.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think the only friendship coming into this
Speaker 1: new Atlanta that was formed prior to the show, from
Speaker 1: my understanding, out of the newbies, is Kelly and Britt.
Speaker 1: I think they're the only newbies coming in who are
Speaker 1: actually friends.
Speaker 2: So we get a chance to see the dynamic.
Speaker 1: I mean, allegedly, allegedly, based on what I'm seeing on
Speaker 1: social media, Allegedly they had a falling out and they
Speaker 1: and they un followed each other. It makes honey, so
Speaker 1: we may get a chance to see that. So again,
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to I've heard nothing but great things
Speaker 1: about this upcoming season and debuts just so I'm clear
Speaker 1: because I want to make sure I promote my baby,
Speaker 1: because Atlanta will always be my baby.
Speaker 2: You know, that's Sarah Fraser.
Speaker 3: Really, you were there, you know that the beginning. Yes,
Speaker 3: you saw it and you were in, you know, arguably
Speaker 3: some of its best days. So but maybe it seize
Speaker 3: your ahead, you know.
Speaker 1: Yes, So it's coming back on March ninth. Okay, So
Speaker 1: The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season sixteen, Sweet sixteen is
Speaker 1: premiering on March ninth, and let me tell y'all something
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see it.
Speaker 2: And the other beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: About it is is back on Sunday, so we don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about this show getting away from Sunday night.
Speaker 2: So that makes me happy.
Speaker 1: Speaking of a Sunday night phenomenon, the reunion trailer for
Speaker 1: season nine of the Real Housewives of Potomac was released,
Speaker 1: and Sarah Fraser, I can say this baby, that was
Speaker 1: a motherfucking trailer tans.
Speaker 2: Across the board. It did not disappoint Love Love Love.
Speaker 3: Obsessed as well. And there was no push of a
Speaker 3: friendship there. I mean there was no there was no
Speaker 3: trying to make friends there, Karen. It is Oh my god,
Speaker 3: it is on, and we learn in the trailer that
Speaker 3: obviously Karen, we all know it wasn't there, but sends
Speaker 3: a video message that they are going to play. Excuse me,
Speaker 3: I mean, I am floored.
Speaker 1: It was giving witness protection program. I mean Sarah and
Speaker 1: the hat and the wig. I'm like, my girlfriend, and
Speaker 1: I love me some Karen. It was giving witness protection
Speaker 1: program And I'm like, are you hiding from the fes
Speaker 1: or are you hiding from the Camera's like, what is
Speaker 1: going on here, Karen? But what we have learned since
Speaker 1: then is that Karen has admitted herself into and I
Speaker 1: want to give the words right because I don't want
Speaker 1: to say rehab because she didn't say rehab.
Speaker 2: She said recovery facility.
Speaker 3: Okay, a recovery facility, all right, what is that recovering from? You?
Speaker 3: There's a lot of things we could be recovering from. What.
Speaker 1: Well, that's all I want to make sure to get
Speaker 1: a right because listen, as a journalist, Hey, Portia, I
Speaker 1: like to make sure you know, we got to report
Speaker 1: the facts. It said recovery facility, So that's what it said,
Speaker 1: so we know that's where she's located, that's where she's
Speaker 1: at she recently not to you know, get off of
Speaker 1: the reunion trailer, but she recently allegedly fired her attorneys.
Speaker 3: Yes, I did see that. I don't even think that's
Speaker 3: a legit. I think it's absolutely true because she was
Speaker 3: supposed to be sentenced here end of jin Now it's
Speaker 3: been delayed because obviously her new counsel has to take over.
Speaker 3: Some people feel this is a delay tactic. Other people
Speaker 3: feel I mean, I don't even know. I'm with Ashley
Speaker 3: Darby when she did that Watch What Happens Live appearance.
Speaker 3: I don't even know how her attorneys allowed her to
Speaker 3: go to court with that video. I have no idea
Speaker 3: now that spaid attorneys will do what you want. Ultimately,
Speaker 3: you're their client, you're paying them. So if she insisted
Speaker 3: like we're going to trial, We're going to trial. Even
Speaker 3: if they advised her like don't do it, they're gonna
Speaker 3: see it through and go to trial, which they obviously did,
Speaker 3: it was so damning, Like yeah, I mean, I can't
Speaker 3: believe miss Huger. And they're on the trailer all going like,
Speaker 3: I know this restaurant where they say she's an alcoholic,
Speaker 3: she comes there every day and drink I mean they're
Speaker 3: not holding that. I feel like the days of protecting
Speaker 3: Karen it's over.
Speaker 2: I think is gone.
Speaker 1: And listen, I said this on my podcast weeks ago,
Speaker 1: speaking of a grantic friendship.
Speaker 2: Those ladies knew Karen.
Speaker 1: A lot of them did, from Robin obviously Gizelle and Ashley,
Speaker 1: but let's stick to Gazelle because she's remaining og. Ashley
Speaker 1: is too, but Gazelle and Karen had a friendship, a
Speaker 1: big one prior.
Speaker 2: To the show.
Speaker 1: These ladies know a lot about Karen, and I will
Speaker 1: say I felt like they always gave a little shade,
Speaker 1: but they kept a lot of things hidden. And because
Speaker 1: the video was released of her arrest and we saw
Speaker 1: the behavior and not that we all are aware that
Speaker 1: she was found guilty for her DUI, I think the
Speaker 1: ladies are like, there's no need to keep this a
Speaker 1: secret anymore, and they're not holding back and they're being
Speaker 1: very beautilly honest.
Speaker 2: What I will say, one of my favorite moments from.
Speaker 1: The trailer was seeing the ladies get emotional after watching
Speaker 1: Karen's video, because it goes to show you that Listen,
Speaker 1: whether or not you like Karen, whether or not you agree, disagree,
Speaker 1: whatever with what's going on. And let's be clear, a
Speaker 1: dui is not okay, but the fact that they show
Speaker 1: that they still have love and care for her, so
Speaker 1: I thought it was nice to see them, especially of
Speaker 1: all people, just Zell cry. I'm like, it goes to
Speaker 1: show you it's a very sad situation for everybody to
Speaker 1: watch her go.
Speaker 3: Through this look and for I think the hardest part, right,
Speaker 3: and people are figuring out life at all ages. But
Speaker 3: to be in Karen's position, her age, you know, and
Speaker 3: to still be dealing with these demons, it's sad, right
Speaker 3: because you don't even know what she's missed in life
Speaker 3: with her addiction, you know. I mean, it's it is
Speaker 3: really sad, and I couldn't agree more. And the other thing,
Speaker 3: I mean, look, they seem like they're all ready to
Speaker 3: really reveal who this mystery man is that we've been
Speaker 3: hearing about for years that she's allegedly been with, because
Speaker 3: they say it in the trailer there was somebody in
Speaker 3: the car that man fled, you know, So are we
Speaker 3: finally going to get because that rumor has been just
Speaker 3: for years. When I was living there in DC five
Speaker 3: years ago, Karen had that rumor, you know, that there.
Speaker 1: Was when you were living in DC years ago. When
Speaker 1: you were living in DC years ago, what were some
Speaker 1: of the things you may have heard about Karen.
Speaker 3: Well, always that there, always that allegedly there was another
Speaker 3: man always, you know, and really a lot of the
Speaker 3: rumors always were that her marriage to Rey Ray was
Speaker 3: really over, but they were kind of staying together for
Speaker 3: the show, and she was always seeing somebody else. Then
Speaker 3: I used to have a woman that would deliver Uber
Speaker 3: eats to Rey Ray all the time at the at
Speaker 3: their home, and she said it was so sad Karen
Speaker 3: was never there. Ray would come to the door and
Speaker 3: you know, in his little bathroom he could compass uberrites
Speaker 3: every night, and she was like the regular Uber Eats
Speaker 3: driver for him because she'd always worked po Tomac. So
Speaker 3: she would just tell me that Ray Ray was alone
Speaker 3: in the house and like Karen was nowhere to be found.
Speaker 1: Maybe Karen was building the show Sarah Frasier, That's why
Speaker 1: she wasn't home at night.
Speaker 3: But you know, Karen and I worked together events at
Speaker 3: Bloomingdale's when she launched Grand Dame or La dam Fragrance.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, so I spent I knew them
Speaker 3: really socially, you know, not as good friends, but those
Speaker 3: have always been out there. Yeah, you know, I don't
Speaker 3: think anyone's seen her at the house with Ray, sorry
Speaker 3: Karen for Ray. He loves the Zuber eat we love, right,
Speaker 3: she loves That's what this woman told me. She's like,
Speaker 3: I delivered Uber Eats to Ray like at least two
Speaker 3: or three nights a week. Like Karen's not home, They're
Speaker 3: not having She's like, Karen's never there. I'm like, well, hang.
Speaker 2: Out, n She's filming a late night thing. Leave it
Speaker 2: a loud girl. Listen.
Speaker 1: This sort of journalism is why I love the business,
Speaker 1: because where else are you going to get the Uber
Speaker 1: East driver to give you a.
Speaker 2: I love this ship. Oh my god, I I love it.
Speaker 3: The dms to my Instagram were priceless, priceless. I'd send
Speaker 3: them to you. They were so good a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get it too, okay. Obviously one of the
Speaker 1: biggest moments from this trailer the talk of the time,
Speaker 1: Mia Thorion Right, so.
Speaker 3: Many thoughts on on her. Is she staying or going?
Speaker 3: Do we think these mealize that web.
Speaker 2: Is Sela Charlotte's web is me A's web? I gave
Speaker 2: her the name Mia b lyon Wendy.
Speaker 1: Wendy said to Mia in this reunion trail alert that
Speaker 1: pretty much her inc orchestrated the story and and it
Speaker 1: didn't go as plan, and that's why they're broken up.
Speaker 2: And then I think somebody else I think was Ashley.
Speaker 1: I think Ashley said that breakup is even like orchestrated.
Speaker 2: So they're calling me.
Speaker 1: Out on her web of alleged lies so much so
Speaker 1: Elvis and Mia left the building together. It looks like
Speaker 1: MIAs in the hot seat and even said to her,
Speaker 1: you're being cooked out there, girl, what.
Speaker 2: Do you make of all of that?
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, the other night the other week
Speaker 3: when Na was on Watch What Happens Live? And now
Speaker 3: you know she and Ink are supposedly broken up and
Speaker 3: inc You know, by the way, I was a radio
Speaker 3: DJ for nine years, Okay, and it didn't She said
Speaker 3: that it didn't work for Ink being on this show.
Speaker 3: It wasn't good for his brand. Let me tell you
Speaker 3: about DJ's all right, We like, there isn't anything that
Speaker 3: isn't good. Most of the time. US DJs are like
Speaker 3: mceing at a strip club. You think this is bad
Speaker 3: for his brand, give me a I can't tell you
Speaker 3: how many like dealerships, poll dancing competitions I hosted all
Speaker 3: through the radio station. Like that was the biggest lie.
Speaker 3: I'm like a DJ will do anything, you know, so please,
Speaker 3: I'm so done. The thing though we hurt is I
Speaker 3: actually oddly really enjoy her. There's something I love about
Speaker 3: her because it's like she almost doesn't care. Though they'll
Speaker 3: come up and they'll just be like you whore, you
Speaker 3: piece of trash, and she'll be like like, she just doesn't.
Speaker 3: So I love a woman though it's just like whatever
Speaker 3: you want to throw at me, like so, I actually
Speaker 3: want her to stay, but it's it is getting almost
Speaker 3: to that point. I don't know if they've played with
Speaker 3: the audience a little too much, you know, a little.
Speaker 3: I think she survives another sn myself, but I do,
Speaker 3: like my knee up. Yeah, I don't believe a word
Speaker 3: that she says though.
Speaker 1: That is the problem now, listen is why coin the
Speaker 1: phrase me be lying because it's like girl liar pants
Speaker 1: on fire.
Speaker 2: I do think Mia is trying to do one or
Speaker 2: two things. And I said this before.
Speaker 1: I think what's going on with Mia and the paternity
Speaker 1: thing to her credit, Gordon brought that to the forefront,
Speaker 1: not Mia, and I think people are are forgetting the
Speaker 1: fact that it was Gordon who brought the paternity issue there,
Speaker 1: and Mia obviously being a reality star, you follow the
Speaker 1: reality What is this your son or is it inks?
Speaker 1: Because Gordon brought it up in his anger towards Mia
Speaker 1: in the last season's finale, Ink is her man. Ink
Speaker 1: is somebody who is a DJ, and I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I think this shit works for a DJ because you're
Speaker 1: able to get more bookings, and not only that, you
Speaker 1: get to talk about it on your platform and game
Speaker 1: more listeners.
Speaker 2: I think it's wonderful for Ink's business.
Speaker 1: I think, in my opinion, I think the kitchen is
Speaker 1: hot for Mia and he's trying to unfortunately, but I
Speaker 1: get it.
Speaker 2: But it's still unfortunate.
Speaker 1: I think she's trying to please the audience and by
Speaker 1: saying like, Okay, we're broken up, I'm not gonna talk
Speaker 1: about this anymore. It's unfortunate because I never want any
Speaker 1: reality star to become a prisoner to the audience.
Speaker 2: Because it's a losing game. It's a losing game. You
Speaker 2: will never satisfy them ever in life.
Speaker 3: Absolutely great point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so listen, Potomac Reunion is on fire.
Speaker 2: The girls looked gorgeous. They do.
Speaker 3: They look great.
Speaker 2: I love a theme.
Speaker 3: They all have a theme. They all look amazing.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, no, fantastic shifting gears. We have to get
Speaker 2: into Jennifer Aiden.
Speaker 1: Allegedly, and this hasn't been going on for months or
Speaker 1: should I say, like maybe a year, because that's how
Speaker 1: long Jersey feels like it's been off the air. They're
Speaker 1: now saying Jennifer Aiden is not going to come back
Speaker 1: to the Real House, posit New Jersey that she did
Speaker 1: not the contract.
Speaker 2: I don't think any of these girls got a contract,
Speaker 2: to be honest with you.
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, we all know about the Jersey Mike story where
Speaker 1: you know, was it Christmas morning?
Speaker 2: Right, it was Christmas morning.
Speaker 3: I believe they're waiting in line for sandwiches. There was
Speaker 3: somebody else I think behind them that they you know,
Speaker 3: sandwich attendant ended up serving first, and Aiden gets in
Speaker 3: there and is like, you know, why aren't you serving us?
Speaker 3: And yeah, then it just kind of all spirals from there.
Speaker 2: Basically, yes, spirals from there. Courtesy of that.
Speaker 1: Allegedly, she was removed from this Wives On the waves.
Speaker 1: It's not like a peacock show that is like Love
Speaker 1: Vote Me Survivor, but it's a ship cruise stuck with housewives,
Speaker 1: which sounds like the decade of my career. So with
Speaker 1: that being said, the original lineup was the three Jersey Girls.
Speaker 1: It was Teresa, Dolores and Jennifer. Jennifer has not been
Speaker 1: removed allegedly is because of the Jersey Mike scandal, and
Speaker 1: she is now replaced by Shannon Badour.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that, honey.
Speaker 3: I'm not shocked. I can't even believe Aiden was announced
Speaker 3: on the cruise anyway, because Aiden has made some fatal
Speaker 3: mistakes the Jersey Mike situation, and then before that, the
Speaker 3: video she did where she basically said she was coming back, remember,
Speaker 3: which we all know, you know, is completely untrue. That
Speaker 3: we know pisses Bravo off, pisses Andy off. So she's
Speaker 3: sort of been not on their good side for a
Speaker 3: long time. So I was shocked she was even announced
Speaker 3: for a cruise. Jennifer, Aiden is definitely not coming back.
Speaker 3: So I mean, I don't know, we don't, like you said,
Speaker 3: we don't know if any of the women are coming back.
Speaker 3: Quite honestly, but definitely not coming back and the cruise.
Speaker 3: I was shocked to see her even announced, but I'm
Speaker 3: not surprised that she's been replaced by Shannon. But and
Speaker 3: look right, look at Shannon Badoor. A year ago, I
Speaker 3: was like cursing Shannon Badoor out. I'm like, I want
Speaker 3: to see this woman take such accountability. So maybe Karen
Speaker 3: Huger comes back, does a share Shannon Badoor We like
Speaker 3: a lover. Somebody else is a villain and all is
Speaker 3: redeemed right. But Shannon is having a moment.
Speaker 1: She's having a moment. She is and that's something is undeniable.
Speaker 1: So Jennifer Aiden listen. I got a chance to meet her.
Speaker 1: She's wonderful, she's fun, she's a whimsical. I didn't like
Speaker 1: the Jersey Mike thing. I thought it was not good
Speaker 1: and okay at all under any circumstance to treat people
Speaker 1: like that number one, especially people who are working at
Speaker 1: a fast food restaurant to serve you at the airport
Speaker 1: early in the morning on a holiday, it's not okay, and.
Speaker 2: There's no excuses for it.
Speaker 1: With that being said, I've said this before too, I
Speaker 1: just don't see a world but she was coming back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't know who is coming back. I never thought
Speaker 1: she would come back ever, and I think it's submit
Speaker 1: to at this point.
Speaker 3: Are you buying into the rumors. There's new rumors that
Speaker 3: they are looking to cast a Real Housewives of Rhode
Speaker 3: Island kind of the Providence Rhode Island. Have you heard
Speaker 3: these rumors?
Speaker 1: I have.
Speaker 2: I don't listen. It's hard for a New Housewives show
Speaker 2: to kick.
Speaker 1: The bay getting canceled after two seasons, Real Housewives of
Speaker 1: Dallas getting canceled after four seasons.
Speaker 2: I believe it's hard.
Speaker 1: That's the reason why I give us Saltlake City girls
Speaker 1: their props. It's arguably the best right now that's airing.
Speaker 2: It is what it is. It trumps Beverly Hills in
Speaker 2: terms of Yeah, if I have.
Speaker 1: To rate what season that's airing is the best right now,
Speaker 1: it will be Salt Lake City. Those girls work hard,
Speaker 1: they're funny, they're interesting, and the production mess show is
Speaker 1: top tier.
Speaker 2: When it comes to New Jersey, the IP of Jersey
Speaker 2: is so anonymous with mainstream appeal. Teresa Judis, whether.
Speaker 1: You no matter what the race, class, sex, origin, no
Speaker 1: matter everybody knows Teresa Judais.
Speaker 2: I just don't think you'll give up that to bet
Speaker 2: on a new show. And we saw betting on.
Speaker 1: A new cast of women like New York isn't working,
Speaker 1: And I think that says a lot about where to
Speaker 1: go with the I do tai.
Speaker 3: Bring them all back? I want I want Melissa back,
Speaker 3: and Joe Gorga and Teresa and Louis. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't care if they you want to see Okay,
Speaker 1: so Sarah frajerk, this is a million dollar question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to see Teresa Melissa?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I do?
Speaker 2: Tell me why? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like talking crap about each other, they happen to run
Speaker 3: into each other, you know, in the parking lot of envy,
Speaker 3: and Teresa wants to take her car and her business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3: Because to your point, I just think it's so salt
Speaker 3: Lake is the only one, really, the only one in
Speaker 3: recent memory that's been able to pull a new audience,
Speaker 3: suck us in, have huge moments. I just don't think
Speaker 3: they'd have to find such a diamond in the rough
Speaker 3: to make that happen. I don't see it, do you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, I want to.
Speaker 1: Jersey's hard to cast, and I know that being a
Speaker 1: part of the show the first two seasons. The beauty
Speaker 1: of Jersey that made it so special was the family
Speaker 1: dynamic of the cast.
Speaker 2: I would love to get back to that.
Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, I want to see Jack when
Speaker 1: Lebreta come back, although she lives in Vegas, book her flight.
Speaker 3: God, that'd be so her back. That would be awesome,
Speaker 3: that would be amazing.
Speaker 2: Book her flight.
Speaker 1: I just don't want Jersey to have a faith of
Speaker 1: New York City. So if that means Melissa Sincereesa coming
Speaker 1: back a year, a year would have gone by, and
Speaker 1: maybe I won't be as mad as seeing the redundancy.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'll say this much to you, Seleparration,
Speaker 1: and I'll leave you with this, Okay. Atlanta has no
Speaker 1: season one ogs coming up in March on season sixteen. Porsche,
Speaker 1: they have no season one ogs.
Speaker 3: Wow, not one, think about wow.
Speaker 2: Porsche is the.
Speaker 1: Longest running peach holder that's on this current cast of women.
Speaker 1: Synthia Billy is a friend us, so she doesn't count.
Speaker 1: Kenya unfortunately isn't a housewife holding a peach, so we
Speaker 1: can't count her. So Porsche is leading the pack with
Speaker 1: four new women, and then Fatia comes back towards the end.
Speaker 1: I think depending on the success of Atlanta and how
Speaker 1: the audience receives it and how the ratings are, I
Speaker 1: think that will the term a lot with Jersey, like
Speaker 1: do you bring back a og and a friend?
Speaker 2: Do you bring back? So I think, listen, if this
Speaker 2: was my show, I would wait to see.
Speaker 1: How Atlanta is received before I make a final decision
Speaker 1: on Jersey.
Speaker 3: If I was a decision, and there you have it,
Speaker 3: I like that take and it's okay and accurate.
Speaker 2: Boom, Sarah Fraser.
Speaker 1: I could talk to you all day long, sister, once again.
Speaker 3: I know you're so busy, but you're coming back. We
Speaker 3: got too much to talk about.

Speaker 3: She's the dwarf. They didn't know if she was protect
Speaker 3: lying about her age or if she was actually eight.
Speaker 2: Love that one.
Speaker 3: But this poor girl has been so abused by these
Speaker 3: families that have used her and wanted to exploit. It's wild, wild,
Speaker 3: It's wild.
Speaker 2: And you have to talk about the Blake Lively and
Speaker 2: justin Better covering too.
Speaker 3: I can't even I am so addicted to this. If
Speaker 3: you want updates and theories and where this is going,
