Speaker 1: the King, we'll sit down with my friends across the

21
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: entertainment industry, recap our favorite reality shows and revisit unforgettable

22
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: moments that we are still talking and tweeting about. Hay,

23
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: rain Drops, Honey, this is a sad day. I am

24
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,919
Speaker 1: wearing black. I have on a veil. What is going

25
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: on on the Royal House Boss of a tomb mcbaby,

26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: I am gagging, I am appalled, and I'm sad. I

27
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: am sad to announce that Candace Dealer Basset is leaving

28
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: the Real Housewives of Potomac. Breaking news, breaking news, breaking news.

29
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: The journalist to the Housewives, Honey, Dave Quinn, has reported

30
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: that after six seasons, Canda has said, and I quote,

31
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: I am filled with gratitude. Well, shit, that makes one

32
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: of us, Candace. I'm not filled with gratitude. I'm filled up, Honey.

33
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: I need some pepto bismo. Honey. I am full of sadness.

34
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: I did not see this coming and this is not

35
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: what I anticipated or even wanted. Now, as you know,

36
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: rain Drops, the Real Housewives of Potomac, in my opinion, allegedly,

37
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: it hasn't been that right in the past two seasons.

38
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: We needed a cast shake up. I have said multiple

39
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: times that there needs to at least be three women

40
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: that should be removed. Now. I made a promise to

41
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: the rain Drops that I would not suggest the three

42
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: women until after the reunion, but apparently child two of

43
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: them have been revealed. We have learned that Candace Dialer

44
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: Bassett is leaving. She has given People Magazine that exclusive. However,

45
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: breaking news, it has been reported by the Jasmine Brand. Yes, Baby,

46
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: that Robin Dixon is gone. The gag up it all now.

47
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Robin being gone to me, it's a good thing, and

48
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: I'll address that later, but let's first kick off things

49
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: with candas. It's unfortunate because when I interview can for

50
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: the podcast, Candace said she prayed to be on the

51
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: Royal Housewives of Potomac and that this was something that

52
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: she wanted badly, and when she got the call, she

53
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: pretty much prayed for this, manifested this, and I just

54
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: thought that was so dope that, you know, she has

55
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: shown that prayer works, that manifestation works, and it's sad

56
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: that it did not work out for her. I think

57
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: Candace came to this show with the best intentions. She

58
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: came to the show wanting to be herself, and unfortunately

59
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: I think the way some of those women operate, it's

60
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: hard to be yourself. And I remember Candace's first season

61
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: where she was being hazed, right, you know she was,

62
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: and she was told by some of the housewives, like,

63
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: stand up for yourself, don't let these girls come for you.

64
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: And they were giving her pep talk to like read

65
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: the girls. And little did they know, honey, she was baby,

66
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: a master at reading the girls, master class, Baby, she

67
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: was fantastic at it. And then she gave you her

68
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: issues with her now husband, Chris Bassett. We got to

69
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: see Mama Dorothy. She is the quintessential housewife. She comes

70
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: from wealth, she is a passionate girl, her mother is

71
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: all of in her business. Hey, miss Dorothy, and she's

72
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: in a relationship with the man who comes from humble beginnings.

73
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: And that's a dynamic that we enjoy from our housewives.

74
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: Where did things go wrong? Though she had the best setup,

75
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: and then for the past two years, it appears that,

76
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: in my opinion, that Candace was coming to work every

77
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: day not being herself or feeling happy to be there

78
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: because of the environment in which she was at. You know,

79
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: I love Giselle Kobe Bryant. She is number nine of

80
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: My Greatest Housewife's List, and that's not going to change.

81
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: But Gazelle controls the energy in the room. Gizelle is

82
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: the force multiplier. And with Candace and Gazelle being on

83
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: the outs and Gizelle just not giving Candace any time

84
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: of the day, it's a very tough environment to be

85
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: in when the force multiplier isn't giving you anything. Giselle

86
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: controls the energy. The girls know that, Hey, if Jazelle's

87
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: in a good mood, then we're all in a good mood.

88
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: If Jazail's in a bad mood, well, bitch, we're all

89
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: in a bad mood. And that's what Candace had to

90
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: face and what appeared to be this current season of

91
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: Candace checking out out of I think Candace was checking out.

92
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: I think they checked out of Canvas. I think Candace

93
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: knew that it was a voice to Men's song, maybe

94
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: end of the Road. I believe she knew that. I

95
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: believe she knew that her time was up. I believe

96
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: she was aware that. I don't think they want me back,

97
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: and I do believe that perhaps she did not want

98
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: to come back. It just wasn't suitable for her anymore.

99
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: And The reason why it wasn't suitable anymore is because

100
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: we lost the spark that Candace had her eye. She

101
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: loved being a housewife, she loved being a reality star.

102
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: She used this opportunity to start a really successful singing

103
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: career that has legs. She had a sellout tour. She

104
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: opened up for the amazing Tamar Braxton, and her album

105
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: was actually really good. My favorite song of the album

106
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: is called is It Enough? So Canvas has left? And

107
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: this is what she said and I quote, as I

108
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: embark on a new chapter after six remarkable years with

109
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: the Real Housewives of Potomac, I'm filled with gratitude for

110
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: the enriching friendships, personal growth, and moments of introspection that

111
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: have defined this journey. With a whirlwind of new opportunities

112
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: and responsibilities on my plate, I have decided to take

113
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: a break from the Real Housewives of Potomac. This is

114
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: not a farewell, but a see you later. Now. I

115
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: like to read between the lines, Honey, she said, with

116
00:08:52,600 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: a whirlwind of new opportunities and responsibilities, Candace, what are

117
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: these responsibilities? That sounds very personal with a WorldWind of

118
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: new opportunities, So I take that as she has more

119
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: to do with her singing career. But as I'm reading,

120
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: responsibilities that's personal. So if you quit the Real Housewives

121
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: of Potomac for new responsibilities, that's personal. Could there be

122
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: a new arrival of some sorts. I get this sense

123
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: that Candace may be expecting something not a champagne flute,

124
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: because you're not supposed to drink when you're expecting something.

125
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Am I reading too much into this?

126
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: With a whirlwind of new opportunities that's music career to

127
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: me and responsibilities on my plate? We all know that

128
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: Candace and Chris we're going through their IVF journey, so

129
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: maybe Candace is expecting a bundle of joy. Candace did

130
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: say last week on a podcast that she has been

131
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: thinking heavily about kids and having conversations about their complexion.

132
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: We will not get into that, honey, but there is

133
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: something interesting about saying responsibilities on my plate. And if

134
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: Candace is expecting something blue or pink, honey or neutral colors, okay,

135
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: thank you, that's a good reason to leave, because you

136
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: don't want to have a high risk situation while you're

137
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: dealing with high risk housewives causing you stress. Child. If

138
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: that's the case, then, Candace, congratulations, I'm proud of you.

139
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: But all jokes aside. This is sad because I know

140
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: how much she loved this job, and I know how

141
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: much she wanted it, and I don't feel right about this.

142
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: I think Candace had a couple more years before quitting

143
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: or saying her goodbyes. For now, she says. And that's

144
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: the other thing. Hey, she said, this is not a

145
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: farewell but a see you later. So are we going

146
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: to see you nine months later? Candace? Wink wink? Or

147
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: should I say so? The question remains, did Candace quit?

148
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: Or did Candace get fired? Now, y'all know, I like

149
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: to keep it real. That's what I do here, and

150
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: I love all the girls. The only housewives I've known

151
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: to quit has been Lisa Vanda Pump, Bethany Frankel, Adrian

152
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: maloof Monique Samuel's, and Portie Williams. They were not demoted

153
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: to friend of and then quit. They all quit their

154
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: full time housewives role. That's what I know for sure, Honey.

155
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: As a fact, when it comes to Candace, people are

156
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: asking did she quit or was she let go? I

157
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: think that remains to be seen. If we get an

158
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: announcement in a few more weeks. After maybe twelve weeks,

159
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: we'll get another announcement perhaps, and I think that'll indicate

160
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: something interesting about this decision. Nevertheless, Candace, you were fantastic

161
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: on this show. We're sad to see you go. You're funny,

162
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: you're beautiful, you're talented, you are as real as they come.

163
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: You wear your hard and your sleeve. You know how

164
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: to read the girls, and you're funny. And I hope

165
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: this is not the last that we will see of you.

166
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: I hope that we're able to continue to see you

167
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: on the road. Buy some music. Honey. You're great television,

168
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: and it makes me sad that this did not work

169
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: out for you the way you thought it would. Being

170
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: on reality television is a very tough gig. And Baby,

171
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: you rose to the occasion every chance you got. And

172
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm so so proud of the amazing, amazing strides you

173
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: made on this show. You may be gone, Kansas, Dilla Bassett,

174
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: but you are never forgotten. Child. We are just getting started. Ooh,

175
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: rain drops. One thing about me, my hydration style means

176
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: a lot to me. As you all know, I'm a

177
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: workou fanatic. I have so many jobs that hydration keeps

178
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: me going. And the way I like to quench my thirst, Baby,

179
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: I like to sip and see No, not phad edres.

180
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Sip and see child when she gave us Prince Aiden. Honey,

181
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking about you. Sip on the liquor, baby, and

182
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: you see how it works, which brings me to Liquid IV.

183
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: Liquor IV is so good, let me tell y'all. It

184
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: quenches my thirst fast and the water alone. It also

185
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: has three times the electrolytes of the leading sports drink,

186
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: plus eight vitamins and nutrients for everyday wellness. And Baby,

187
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: the best part it all comes in a single sugar

188
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: free stick. Yes, baby, no sugar. My favorite flavor of

189
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: Liquor IV would be, of course, honey white peach. So

190
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: what I do is I get my glass of water,

191
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: I pour this single sugar free stick in and I

192
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: stir it up. I'm doing your right now as we speak,

193
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: and let me take a sip for y'all. I know

194
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: y'all can't see me, honey, but you can hear me. Yes,

195
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: there is nothing honey like a peach wink wink. When

196
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm on the go and I need to pick me

197
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: up I love using LIQUORIV because it involves so much

198
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: electrolyzed and vitamins that it really does keep me going

199
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: and it keeps my energy going as well. So when

200
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: I have all these things I have to do for

201
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: the rain Drops child, whether it's going on tour that

202
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing this year, creating shows, looking at shows, etc.

203
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: LIQUORIV helps me and my day keep going. However, you hydrate,

211
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: Let's get back into the show. Now. Allegedly, Candice Dillard

212
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Bassett is not the only one Baby who is leaving

213
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: the show, according to the Jasmine Brand. Now, this one

214
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: is not a surprise to meet one hundred percent, and

215
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: I also think is very very necessary. The Jasmine Brand

216
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: has reported that Robin Dixon is not returning to the

217
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: real Housewives of Potomac Child The Jasmine brand is so shady.

218
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: They said network sources. How you call out your source?

219
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: Now everybody at Bravo is going to check the emails

220
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: of every employee there to see which one of y'all

221
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: contacted the Jasmine brand at Yahoo dot com. I mean,

222
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Not network sources? You could

223
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: have just said sources. This is the shadiest. Journalism is dead,

224
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: and speaking as a journalist, you can't reveal your sources.

225
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: You have to just say sources. For you to say

226
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: network sources. So now we know it's somebody who actually

227
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: works at the network. Lord jesus, what are we doing

228
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: any who? Network sources tell us that Reduction is shaking

229
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: up the cast, trying to revive the series. Now, spoiler alert.

230
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: When I said to you guys, three Potomac Housewives should

231
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: be removed next season, Robin Dixon was definitely one out

232
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: of the three. I know Robin. I like Robin. I

233
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: think she's a great girl. I said this once, and

234
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: I'll say it twice, and I'll say three times, four

235
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: and five, maybe six, eight, nine and ten if I

236
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: feel like it. It was time for Robin to go

237
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: Robin is not meant to be on reality TV at

238
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: this time to me, because she's not giving us the goods.

239
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: She appears to be very guarded when it comes to

240
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: her personal life. I think Robin has coasted for the

241
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: past six seasons. She is an og and she is

242
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: Giselle's literal Robin. Gizelle is Batman, Robin is her, Robin

243
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: Batman and Robin. It can't get any better than that, baby, Kobe.

244
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: I can't even call you Shaq, Robin. Let me call

245
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: Larcea Pippott and Marcus Jordan to get some more athlete references,

246
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: because it was Kobe as Shaq. Who else was on

247
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: the Lakers? But was it Dennis Rodman? Okay? So is Giselle,

248
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant and Robin Rodman. That's your day, Robin Rodman,

249
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: You're Dennis. Okay, there we go. So I believe that

250
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: Robin's lasted this long because of her friendship with Gizelle,

251
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: and they played off of each other well, and at

252
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the only real friendships that

253
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: will last until the end of time that is not

254
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: made for television, Hey, Gar Solon Sutton, that is not

255
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: an alliance, Okay? Is Robin and Giselle in addition to Mary,

256
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: Saul and Alexia. They're real friends in real life and

257
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: will always be friends with or without the TV show.

258
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: So we know that. But I do believe that Robin

259
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: was on the show this long because of that. I

260
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: think once wants cheating became a main storyline, Robin's staying

261
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: power was tested. Can you handle this? Not? Everybody can't

262
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: handle being the star of the show, the force multiplier,

263
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: the main girl. A lot of y'all can't handle that.

264
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: So Robin had an opportunity to really be, at least

265
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: for one season, the face of the season. You had

266
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: this incredible storyline between you and one and you did

267
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: nothing with it. You literally played in our faces. You

268
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: gave a scripted conversations between you and Wan and you

269
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: and the girls, and you never once wore your heart

270
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: on your sleeve. That's when we knew, like, you can't

271
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: handle being the main girl. You are a background singer.

272
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: You are supreme. You set up there and had Mia Thornton, which,

273
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: by the way, guys, Sunday Nights finale of the Real

274
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: House Spots of Potomac, those last ten minutes of Mia

275
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 1: and Gordon was the best I've seen in the history

276
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: of the franchise. Robin, you should be ashamed of yourself. Robin,

277
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: You've been on the show for eight seasons and gave

278
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: us nothing. Nothing. Mia came in and gave us paternity scandal, cheating,

279
00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: hauled passes, big feet, Mia blyon. He's secured in the bag.

280
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: Mia has two men in her life. Mia gave us

281
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: three sums strip Club and Robin. You gave us silk hats,

282
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: which by the way, was lucrative, and you've done nothing

283
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: with that. And I like you, Robin. You know that.

284
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: I think you're a great girl. I do believe Robin

285
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: was fired. I don't think Robin quit. And I hate

286
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: to say this, but she should have been. Mia came

287
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: in like a wrecking ball, Miley Cyrus style, and Mia

288
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: is going to single handily revitalize the Real Housewives of

289
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: Atomac and Baby I'm here for it. Mia is a

290
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 1: star and Mia is going to captivate this audience in

291
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: a way that we needed. We were rooting for you, Robin.

292
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: I have never seen a girl have so much set

293
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: up to be the a story, the main story, and

294
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: you allowed your insecurities to not give us what we

295
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: wanted the fact that Wan did not even show up

296
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: to the reunion, and you're the breadwinner. Gordon shows up

297
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: to the reunion and not Wan. You couldn't tell your

298
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: husband the money that we're making off of Potomac. And

299
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: I believe at this juncture, Robin's making at least a

300
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: million dollars maybe nine hundred thousand. That's a lot of money.

301
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: And you mean to tell me Wine couldn't sit on

302
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: a stool behind you for two hours to make sure

303
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: that you had your job secured. That's fucked up. And

304
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: now you don't have a job when you had the

305
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: best potential storyline. This shakeup is what was needed. I'm

306
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: shocked to see Candad leave. I thought it should have

307
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: been Ashley, No shade. Well, damn. I gave y'all two

308
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: out of three. Damn, and I'm not gonna take it back.

309
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: All jokes aside. Listen, it's not fun for anyone to

310
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: lose their job. But it's one of those things where

311
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: let's have a real conversation. It's one of those things

312
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: where when you have a show like the Real Housewives

313
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: of Potomac that was constantly compared to Atlanta Housewives because

314
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: they're all black women. Let's let's let's keep it real.

315
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: But Potomac was on the verge of succeeding Atlanta, at

316
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: least when it came to conversation. Even ratings perhaps right,

317
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 1: But these past two seasons were dreadful, and I'm happy

318
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: to see at least some changes being made. One thing

319
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: about Potomac that I would give them they always get

320
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: the casting, right, I would give them that they always

321
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: get the cast. So I am looking forward to seeing

322
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: some new faces. But like I said, Baby, build this

323
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: show around Mia. As you all watched the finale, what

324
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: Mia gave was some Monica Garcia type of reality, just real, nonscripted.

325
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: Gordon kept walking off the scene. The producers had to

326
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: talk him off the ledge. He told her, if you

327
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: want fair, go to a carnival. Yes. Peter Thomas teas

328
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: the fact that Gordon said, I was going through cancer

329
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: treatments and I said to you, I will allow you

330
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: to pretty much have a hall pass. And Mia took

331
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: that hall pass and went to the second floor of

332
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: the gymnasium and got rekindled with her foot locker boyfriend

333
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: that she met at seventeen. Baby called Ink Honey, Incognito,

334
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: who I interviewed for the podcast because I already knew

335
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: that Mia was gonna give us some great story. So

336
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: if you missed that interview, go check it out. His

337
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: name is Incognito, but for short, we call him Ink,

338
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: or if you like me, we call him Baby Forrest Whittaker.

339
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: He's very handsome. I love Ink, very handsome, very nice.

340
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: He's my guy. The best part about that finale was

341
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: Mia scene. And the best part about this scene was

342
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: Gordon was throwing out so many accusations, and bitch Mia

343
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: did not deny any of them. She did not say

344
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: you fucking lying. Mia did not deny any of the lies, y'all,

345
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: and I love her even more for it. When he

346
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: said to her, our son said, why is mister Ink

347
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: always with mommy? Mommy's trying to replace you, daddy with

348
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: mister Ink. We saw mister Ink and Mommy kissing, like Mia, yo,

349
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: you making up for the kids? What in the Monica

350
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: Garcia mama in the in the front seat of the

351
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: car by Monica's in the back seat? Is going on here? Mia,

352
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: You tough girl, not kissing in front of the kids.

353
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: But this the gag at the end of the day.

354
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: Is it, Karma Gordon, Because when you met Mia, Mia

355
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: was with Ink and they lived together, and you still

356
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: decided to buy her a car while she was in

357
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: a whole ass relationship with Ink. See how those tables turn.

358
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: You took Mia away from Ink, and ten plus years later,

359
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: maybe twenty even Ink is back in MIA's life. I

360
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: love it. I love the fact that Mia had the

361
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to go back an athlete, apology titian, a ups worker,

362
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: the bus driver, baby, an actor, and Mia decided to

363
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: use her goodies with an ex boyfriend. Y'all can call

364
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: Mia a lot of things. Mia ain't honing around sleeping

365
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: with everybody in the DMV like some of her castmates

366
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: are allegedly me ain't trying to find somebody off summer

367
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: House child. Mia ain't going on to Bravo Khan finding

368
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: her man. Mia said, what my hall past is going

369
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: to be with my first love? And I think that's

370
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: as I think that's admirable. But that's the reason why

371
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: we love Mama Mia. Mama Mia is now the face

372
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: of Potomac. Mama and Mia took Gizille's first chair. Mama

373
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: Mia gave us the realest scene the Real Housewives of

374
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: Potomac has e a given. Mia is the star of Potomac,

375
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: and dare I say, Miya is the Porsche of Potomac.

376
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: She's the unsung hero. She was the dark horse. And

377
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: y'all need to build this show around Mia the way

378
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: y'all are building the next season of The Rough Housewives

379
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: of Atlanta around Porsche allegedly. I want to see more, Jacqueline.

380
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: I want to see the paternity test. I want Maury

381
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: Povich to come out of retirement and give a DNA

382
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: test results to Mia and Gordon, because baby, when Gordon

383
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: spilt that tea and said, you told me you don't

384
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: even know if the baby in your belly is mine

385
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: or inks because the overlap, it's a little sketchy baby,

386
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: that's the gag. This is the reality that we want.

387
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: This is it, This is it. I'm here for it.

388
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm here for it all. Mia Thornton, congratulations, you have

389

Speaker 1: of these girls to come at you. It's a doggy

393
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 1: dog world. Bitch, and I promise you this. They're watching you,

394
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: but I believe you can handle it. I never thought

Speaker 1: I see the day where Mia Thornton is the face
