Speaker 1: Should we do some Housewives University? I think so okay.
Speaker 1: So I always think of Chara when I think of
Speaker 1: business because I just remember she by Charrette. I love
Speaker 1: Chara when she said, who go and check me boo?
Speaker 1: I fell in love I when they let her go.
Speaker 1: I always said to Andy, what the fuck? Why would
Speaker 1: you fire Charat I just have always found her to
Speaker 1: be wildly entertaining. So I don't know, Charae doesn't have
Speaker 1: a great business sense. She's smart, she's funny, she's entertaining.
Speaker 1: She's a great reality TV character. She doesn't realize but
Speaker 1: to her to her credit, like Sonya, in some cases,
Speaker 1: when you're on reality TV, you got to fucking fill
Speaker 1: the airtime and you need quote unquote storylines, and if
Speaker 1: you don't have enough going on, like you gotta kind
Speaker 1: of find things to go on. And also if you
Speaker 1: feel like the train is leaving the station and you're
Speaker 1: not on it, like people are making all this money
Speaker 1: which no one really was or is because of businesses
Speaker 1: like I'm going to describe. But you know, when you
Speaker 1: hear that I had the fastest going look, or Brandon History,
Speaker 1: or I was on the cover of Forms, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be like I need something.
Speaker 2: Jill used to call me and say I need something.
Speaker 1: Carol Radswell used to say I'm looking for white space,
Speaker 1: and I don't even know what that meant, but she
Speaker 1: meant like.
Speaker 2: Where there's It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: But so charre Uh hasn't had a lot of success
Speaker 1: in business that I like her, so I hate grading hurt.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to fairly grade her test. But
Speaker 1: I guess she had a book called Fiances and Side
Speaker 1: Chicks of Hot Lanta.
Speaker 2: That was a fiction book. So she published a book.
Speaker 1: Publishing a book alone is positive, but I don't think
Speaker 1: it was a big, big success and a big seller.
Speaker 2: It's not that easy to sell books. There have been
Speaker 2: very few housewives.
Speaker 1: That have been successful at selling books, and the timing
Speaker 1: is important. Brandy did well, Teresa did well with books.
Speaker 1: Listen Beyonce, I had Darian Jean's. I don't think they succeeded.
Speaker 1: Like you could be really famous and also not good
Speaker 1: at another thing or not hit it in everything.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Kim Gardashian had quick trim the diet pills. They had
Speaker 1: credit cards, they had hair extensions, they had tanning stuff,
Speaker 1: they had makeup. They've been in ten thousand businesses that failed,
Speaker 1: So even billionaires fail, Kylie Swim, we don't hear about
Speaker 1: that that often, So even billionaires fail.
Speaker 2: So it's okay.
Speaker 1: I'm not being negative if I say that Arre's had
Speaker 1: some fail businesses because she has chres not making a
Speaker 1: living at She Buy Charat her first fashion show. Uh
Speaker 1: had no fashion, there were no designs, so the samples
Speaker 1: were missing up until the day of the show. And
Speaker 1: she did have a twenty piece collection for the show,
Speaker 1: but you could tell it was being pulled together and
Speaker 1: it's pressure.
Speaker 2: Fourteen years later, she started she.
Speaker 1: Buy Charrat back up and it was live and the
Speaker 1: site crashed.
Speaker 2: I'm sure she said it was due to overwhelming use
Speaker 2: of the site.
Speaker 1: But like, I don't, I've I don't think that really happened.
Speaker 1: You know, that's something that's a great that would be
Speaker 1: something great to say, I don't think so. Now she's
Speaker 1: doing ath leisure wear, T shirts, hoodie's leggings, yoga mats, hats,
Speaker 1: and people say it's Sheen look alike clothing, which it
Speaker 1: probably is, but that doesn't mean it's not successful.
Speaker 2: You know, everything is everything.
Speaker 1: Every lipplus is the fucking same it's in a different package,
Speaker 1: So don't get it twisted. Everything is sheen like clothing.
Speaker 1: Everything is sheen like Lipplus. She could have sheen shit
Speaker 1: with her own tag. Everything's branding. There's no difference the
Speaker 1: really expensive shit and the cheap shit. For the most part,
Speaker 1: I'm finding and makeup and in many areas, so it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it's to look like clothing. I just
Speaker 1: don't get the sense that it's a massive success. She's
Speaker 1: probably making, you know, tens of thousands of dollars. She's
Speaker 1: not making hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2: She's just not.
Speaker 1: I'm just I just I know too much about this
Speaker 1: and what the margins are, and she's not. But she
Speaker 1: might be making nice, good change on the floor during
Speaker 1: just sold mugs and sold T shirts, and she makes
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars on it, I know she does, But
Speaker 1: she's not making millions of dollars. She's not making hundreds
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars. So and maybe sure we can
Speaker 1: make a hundred thousand dollars, that's still a lot of money.
Speaker 1: So we have to talk about what success is. But
Speaker 1: it's not a very successful, scalable business where I can
Speaker 1: find all these things that she's doing so well that
Speaker 1: like we can scale and somebody else can can do
Speaker 1: and she's gonna have, you know, a major, major brand.
Speaker 1: That's just what That's my own opinion based on what
Speaker 1: I'm seeing, and I don't know everything about it. She
Speaker 1: had a boutique, Bella Azula boutique from two thousand and
Speaker 1: three to two thousand and six. Kyle had a boutique.
Speaker 1: Nini had a boutique.
Speaker 2: It's a dog.
Speaker 1: It's a difficult, difficult thing, and she says she closed
Speaker 1: the shop to take care of her kids and focus
Speaker 1: on her clothing line.
Speaker 2: She buys Charee. It's twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Three online and direct a consumer. She's got a retail space,
Speaker 1: she got to pay that rent, she got to pay
Speaker 1: someone to be there. If she's not there, sounds like
Speaker 1: a shit show, nightmare. And it's definitely it's not a
Speaker 1: chain store by now, so that's been pretty much a failure.
Speaker 2: These are rumors.
Speaker 1: Allegedly she didn't pay corporate employment taxes to the state,
Speaker 1: and she owed sixty six, six hundred and forty seven
Speaker 1: dollars and twenty five cents to the state. A tax
Speaker 1: leam is filed against the corporation. You know, these are
Speaker 1: just not great clues. So it's a shit show to
Speaker 1: open a store.
Speaker 2: Not her fault. She tried. Like, I give her credit
Speaker 2: for trying.
Speaker 1: It's not easy to run a business, have a family
Speaker 1: beyond the show, and sometimes you got to be on
Speaker 1: the show and get paid to be on the show.
Speaker 2: It's hard to have a side hustle. It really is.
Speaker 1: My brand is not as strong when I'm doing that
Speaker 1: kind of television as when I'm not. I can't pay
Speaker 1: Baby's didn't pay attention much. Plus all these businesses suck.
Speaker 1: And then she's the executive producer of we TVs selling
Speaker 1: it into atl She pitched producer Carlos King, who I
Speaker 1: think I've met before, a show about African American real
Speaker 1: estate agents in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: I like that idea show is canceled. No season two.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've had many failed talk shows and shows season two.
Speaker 1: She got a show sold. I'm not going to call
Speaker 1: that a failure. She got a show sold, it was
Speaker 1: on the air. Maybe it wasn't great, but like that's
Speaker 1: not a failure because she did it, she got up,
Speaker 1: she did it, So I'm gonna give I give Sharrey
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for trying a lot of different businesses.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give her a C minus, maybe a D
Speaker 1: plus because of getting to have those problems, I'll give it.
Speaker 1: So I'll give her a C minus for business. And
Speaker 1: this does not count getting on the Housewives and being
Speaker 1: good at that, because that brings everybody's score up, So
Speaker 1: her score would be, you know.
Speaker 2: A B plus or something.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give her a C minus at Housewives University,
