<v Speaker 1>of Reality TV and one of the most sought after

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:39.440

<v Speaker 1>production experience. Twice a week on Reality with the King,

<v Speaker 1>recap our favorite reality shows and revisit unforgettable moments that

0:00:51.840 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>we are still talking and tweeting about. Hey rain Drops.

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>On today's episode of Reality with the King, we have

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 1>to talk about how Mary Cosby changed the game. And

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>when I say changed the game, I mean what we

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>have seen on reality television, especially on the Real Housewives

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>franchise in years. We are now entering a moment here

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:30.559
<v Speaker 1>that really speaks to where the franchise as a whole

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>is going All of you, child, not some of you.

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>All of you know that I got my start in

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>reality television back in two thousand and eight being an

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>associate producer on this little show called The Real Housewives

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>of Atlanta. Okay, is my first foray into reality television,

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and I fell in love this genre because I enjoy working,

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>meeting and producing real people who had real issues. And

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>it was at a time where there was no social media, right,

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>There wasn't a blueprint in terms of how a reality

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>star should behave. It was out of time where everybody

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>was being their authentic selves, okay, And it gave a

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 1>birth of you know, the amazing Nini League, Charae Whitfield,

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Kim Zosiac, you know, the list goes on and on,

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Lisa wou, Deshaun Snow, the whole nine yards, and the

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>show ultimately became number one for like, I think, ten

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>consecutive years. I'm around that even more, I think, I

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but that show was number one for a

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>long time, and then something happened. Something happened with the

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>state of reality television where it became a genre where

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>people were entering the space for the wrong reasons. Yes,

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody who in reality television obviously wants to fame, and

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing wrong with that. Right, but there is this

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>sort of exchange that you have right with that goal

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 1>of yours, and that was always Look, I am going

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>to have to be real and I'm going to have

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to talk about real life stuff. Season one of Atlanta Housewives,

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>we had Ninni Leaks discussed the paternity of the man

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 1>she thought was her father, and the season finale of

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 1>the Real Housewives of Atlanta Season one, Nini Leaks took

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a DNA test and found out that the man who

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>she thought was her father was not her dad. Okay,

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you had Kim Zosiak Honey drinking out of a wrist

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>solo cup, smoking her cigarette in a car, dating a

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>man who was married of calling him Big Papa. He

0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 1>bought her a freaking escalade that was sixty five dollars.

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>She wrote the check. It was real life stuff. Those

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>days are gone, unfortunately, because you know, look is what

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I talked about last week in terms of how Vanda

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Pump Rules is getting a whole new cast, and I

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>did talk about the fact that the reason why a

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of us fell in love with Vanda Pump Rules

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>is because we love seeing these young adults on the

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>come up actually working at the bar, being a host,

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>a hostess, a bar back, you know what I mean,

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 1>a bartender, and how they had this very close relationship.

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 1>Some were sleeping with each other, some are best friends,

0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>some are enemies, friendemies, the whole nine yards. And then

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 1>on that show, they became so famous that they obviously

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>could not work as sir anymore, and they just became

0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 1>celebrities and the plot was lost. And now we have

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the scene that truly was the best emotional scene that

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>I've seen a long time, and that is the scene

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>between Mary Cosby and her son Robert. Mary Cosby is

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 1>probably the fan favorite of the Real House of Salt

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Lake City because she's hilarious, she's whimsical, she's a little kookie,

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:36.279
<v Speaker 1>the best compliment possible. But ultimately she's herself. You know,

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>she's an evangelist. I don't want to say the wrong thing,

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>but she passes at a church. There's different titles from

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a pastor to a preacher to an evangelist, So I

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.359
<v Speaker 1>don't want to call her the wrong thing, but she

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 1>speaks at the church. Let's just say that to be safe.

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And the thing with Mary is Mary is who she is,

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and that's why people like her and the kookiness is,

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.839
<v Speaker 1>but we thrive on when it comes to Mary checking

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>these girls. Mary not feeling some of these girls. But baby,

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:14.679
<v Speaker 1>this whimsical kookie woman named Mary Cosby Gabe Salt Lake City,

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the best scene that show has ever seen. To see

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>this woman be vulnerable with her son who is twenty

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>one years old, Okay, her son, Robert Cosby Jr. It

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.159
<v Speaker 1>reminded me of what I did for Housewives in New

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Jersey and we had Caroline Manzel speak to Albi about

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he was dyslexic, and Albi pretty much

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>spoke about like what that meant for him and Caroline

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Manziel this tough woman. You know what I'm saying. A

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 1>lot of people call her tough broad. It was the

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>first time we seen Caroline Manzel break down and become vulnerable. Now,

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:04.039
<v Speaker 1>look not comparing both scenes, so stop it. What I

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>am saying, though, is we thought Caroline Mansa was one person,

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and that scene showed us another person At that time.

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Mary Cosby sitting down with her son talking to him

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>about the addiction that he is going through, showed us

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>aside of Mary Cosby, that I don't think any of

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>us ever expected to see and she has cemented herself

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>as the face of the show. She has cemented herself

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.119
<v Speaker 1>as the woman who was carrying the torch about bringing

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>back real reality to this oversaturated genre of people who

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>are using it to become famous and not giving their

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>real lives anymore. Hence the lack of enjoyment all of

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>us are having with real housewats of New York City.

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>But I'll get to that later. Let's stick to Mary Cosby.

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>In the amazing scene she ever with her son. It

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>was emotional to watch. I personally cannot watch that scene again,

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>that's how much it impacted me. I literally was stoic.

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I was stuck. I didn't know. I don't know what

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>to do except continue watching it and seeing this mother

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>hear her son talk about his addiction and saying that,

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not gonna cry. When her son said that

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>she is the only reason why he's not going to

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>kill himself, I mean, wow, just wow. My heart goes

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>out to Robert, Mary, Robert Sr. In the family. I

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>think everybody has at least one person in their family

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>who has suffered through some form of addiction, whether it's

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>drugs or alcohol. And I think all of us sat

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 1>in that moment and watch the bravery and the courageousness

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>that Mary and her son displayed. My heart goes out

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>to them. I am super proud of Robert Junior, who

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>is twenty one years old. You know, he's not a minor,

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 1>he's not a teenager, He's an adult. And the fact

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that his bravery and courageousness and honesty allow us to

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>witness that, my heart goes out to him for that.

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>And my heart obviously goes out to Mary for that,

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the strength that she displayed during the scene and even

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 1>allowing it to air, because let's have a real conversation.

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I have been privy to moments in my career where

0:09:55.200 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 1>scenes were so emotionally real that as a human being,

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'll speak for myself, I'm not gonna speak for

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 1>anybody else but me. I personally would take someone aside

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and say, I am okay with you telling me you

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want that aired. I know that goes against every

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>single rule that I signed up doing this show or

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>this genre, you know. To be more specific, but in

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 1>my career there has been two moments where I really

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>sat down and said, this scene is going to be

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 1>shown around the world, and while I appreciate your bravery,

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>your courageousness. I also know that, unfortunately, there are people

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>out there who aren't as nice. And if you're telling

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>me that after the next day, after you thought about it,

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't want this aired. I will speak to the

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>powers that be. I've had that twice in my career,

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not gonna say because that's her business. And

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 1>both ladies said to me, I appreciate that, Carlos, but

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I signed up to do reality television, so I'm okay.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay, And that's why my heart goes out to Mary.

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm speechless right now, and y'all know I can talk.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm speechless right now because Mary really does what she

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 1>wants on that show. And when I say that, like

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Mary is there to just coexist. You know. She if

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't want to go to an event, she won't go.

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 1>If she wants to go to McDonald's for a happy meal,

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>she's gonna have the bus driver take her child. If

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Mary don't want people at her house, honey, you can't come,

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Like that's the beauty of Mary.

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>She's not fronting for the cameras, She's being really honest.

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>And I have never seen a more beautiful scene in

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 1>my life. It is to really talk about a drug

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>addiction with your child. You know. I was there when

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Nini Leaks and her son Bryson, had the conversation about

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 1>what he was going through while he was in high school.

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.880
<v Speaker 1>And that scene comes up on Twitter slash x every

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>once in a while where Nini said, you lost your

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>damn mind and if you think I'm hard on you,

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>then blah blah blah blah. And I thought that was

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 1>like the most emotional scene. But this scene with Mary,

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.960
<v Speaker 1>it raised the bar. It raised the bar for the

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.199
<v Speaker 1>state of reality television that we're in right now, where

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>we are suffering through insufferable individuals who are taking advantage

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>of this quick instant fame and wanting an exchange for

0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Instagram followers, popularity and a possible endorsement deal, okay with

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>a brand. And that's the reason why we are all

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.199
<v Speaker 1>not into a lot of shows anymore. And look, I'll

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 1>speak for myself, honey. That's the reason why you don't

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>see me or in this case, hear me. You don't

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 1>hear me talk about a lot of reality shows like

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I used to because some of this shit is fake

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and boring, and I don't give a fuck. I just don't.

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't care about a prank. I don't

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 1>care about you know, a scene between two women who

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 1>are orchestrating a caff fight because they know that it's

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 1>going to trend on Twitter. I do not care to

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>watch it. In the words of Eileen Davidson, send it

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>back in the mail. You ps that bitch. Put a

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 1>post stamps on it, first class priority mail. Ship it back, Okay,

0:13:55.840 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>refund me please, okay, return to send her. She doesn't

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 1>live here anymore. Apartment is not occupied, it's vacant. Okay,

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm over it. I'm over it. I'm over it. Child.

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>We are just getting started. This is reality with the King,

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show.

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 1>It was the reason why a lot of times when

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>it came to Salt Lake City, I was like, Ugh,

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 1>some of this shit I just don't care about. But

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you know the rain drops, y'all. Let me watch last season,

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>which was fantastic. And I love last season because it

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 1>was so real. I'm liking this season because of bron Win,

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 1>because she's real and she's funny and she's activating the girls.

0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>She's making me fall in love Lisa Barlow because I

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>think li alos being herself when Broad when you know,

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 1>checks her, honey. And that's the reason why I appreciate

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>what Mary brought to the show. And for those who

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 1>want to know, Mary Cosby did open up about her son.

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>She said on a recent after show that her and

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>her husband are supporting their son on his road to recovery.

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>She said, and I quote Robert SR. He tries to

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 1>share with Robert Junior his situation before Robert Sr's mom

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 1>made him go through the army. He enjoyed getting high too.

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't have that to share with him. I can't

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 1>see through his eyes, but I do understand him and

0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I and I don't judge him. Mary has said that

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>she talks to Robert every day about his issues. She

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 1>added that she feels like dealing with that in anybody's

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>life is really hard because it's almost embarrassing because at

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 1>some point your child has to tell you, mom, I

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 1>have a vulnerable sigh and I failed and I wasn't

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 1>able to bring myself back up. Yeah, it's sad, It's

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 1>really sad. She also wanted us to know that Robert

0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Junior is steady, which for her is healthy, and that

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 1>he is doing good. Shout out to Robert. Our prayers

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and thoughts and everything is with you. Get the help

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that you need, and I'm happy to hear that you're

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>doing well. But a couple of people had a difference

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 1>of opinions, and I want to talk to your Raine

0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Drops about that. A lot of the fans know is

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:07.440
<v Speaker 1>that none of Mary's castmates showed any public support for

0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 1>that scene, which does say a lot. It says a lot.

0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't I mean, listen, I don't know if that

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 1>means they're trying to respect her privacy, although I don't

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>think Mary will be mad at a public statement saying

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 1>that our heart and thoughts and prayers are going are

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:31.160
<v Speaker 1>being sent to you guys. So I don't know about that.

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:35.640
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty odd that we didn't see that. I don't

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>know what that means, rain Drops. What is that? I mean,

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>it's weird. You have Porsche Williams from Atlanta Housewives, Shall

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Marry Some Love and a lot of other BRA celebrities,

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:51.280
<v Speaker 1>but the time and air, none of the ladies on

0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the show said anything, and that is a little bit odd.

0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:01.160
<v Speaker 1>It's odd. Well, also maybe deemed as odd is Jill

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Zaron's daughter Ali Shapiro. She slammed Salt Lake City for

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.679
<v Speaker 1>using Mary Cosby's son's addiction issues as a storyline, and

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 1>she said, honey, that it is not okay. So this

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 1>is what Ali, who is the daughter of Jill Zarin

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 1>from the Real Housewives of New York City. Ali said this.

0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe because I'm a former housewife kid, I had a

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 1>completely different take on this scene. I don't think it's

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:37.919
<v Speaker 1>okay that this was filmed like this. I think that

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 1>it should have been once he was in or out

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:46.840
<v Speaker 1>of rehab with a therapist, et cetera. He does it

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.680
<v Speaker 1>seem like a public person and this will follow him

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:56.479
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of his life. While it was a

0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>powerful moment between a mother and her son, it's a

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:04.640
<v Speaker 1>moment I think should have been shared off camera or

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 1>after he was healthy. These are real people and a

0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:14.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty one year old kid who needs help. I was

0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 1>you to think a storyline at what cost? Okay, here's

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:30.120
<v Speaker 1>my thoughts. We're not going to vilify a reality star

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:37.399
<v Speaker 1>for sharing her reality, Okay. I why do we watch

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 1>reality TV to see someone phoning it in like I'm

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:43.720
<v Speaker 1>not here for that. I'm not here for that on

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.920
<v Speaker 1>The New York City Housewives. I have not given that

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.919
<v Speaker 1>show my eyeball second season. I don't care to watch

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:55.040
<v Speaker 1>women on a show who refuse to have their partner

0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.639
<v Speaker 1>be a part of it. I think that shit is whack.

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I said it it it is what it is. I

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:06.040
<v Speaker 1>grew up, okay, watching the Real World. I grew up

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:11.120
<v Speaker 1>with Tammy Relman on the Real World Los Angeles, Okay,

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to lose weight by getting her teeth shut with

0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:21.640
<v Speaker 1>wires to prevent her from eating food. And you mean

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.320
<v Speaker 1>to tell me there's a problem with an adult woman

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and an adult man. He is not a twenty one

0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 1>year old kid. Okay, at twenty one, you are an adult.

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Why are we vilifying a mother and a son who

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>knew cameras were there. It's not like it was behind

0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the scenes and somebody was hiding in the closet shooting

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 1>it the way they shot Lisa Barlow talking to the

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:53.639
<v Speaker 1>producer about how Meredith allegedly fucks all of New York City.

0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't like Mary wasn't aware there was a camera

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.840
<v Speaker 1>her face. This is what reality TV is, And excuse me,

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:07.439
<v Speaker 1>for screaming, turn down the volume if you're driving in

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 1>your car. But it makes me annoyed that we lost

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the plot is and I'm hearing that on Botomac Housewives.

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.080
<v Speaker 1>We don't like me a Thorn's storyline. It's not it's

0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:23.920
<v Speaker 1>too love and hip hop? First of all, what does

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.800
<v Speaker 1>that even mean? Number one? But that's a whole nother

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 1>discussion for a whole nother day, because don't get me

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.160
<v Speaker 1>started on y'all making that reference. It ain't loving hip hop?

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.359
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Some of

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.159
<v Speaker 1>y'all just hate y'allselves in y'all community, But I'm not

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna go there. On this podcast. It's all about Mary,

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:47.479
<v Speaker 1>hence the title of this podcast being there's something about Mary, Okay.

0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 1>The only way I could understand this truly is if

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Robert Junior was like, thirteen, do you know what I mean?

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll even give you sixteen. That's the only way I

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:02.480
<v Speaker 1>would be like, Uh, he's sixteen. Because he's a miner.

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:09.360
<v Speaker 1>That's the only reason I'll be like only because he's

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.680
<v Speaker 1>a minor. Right, Robert Junior is twenty one years old.

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 1>He's an adult. He's over the age of eighteen, and

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:18.440
<v Speaker 1>he signed up for it, and so that his mom,

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't a hidden camera. They knew what they

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:25.359
<v Speaker 1>were doing. So I don't like it when the world

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:29.160
<v Speaker 1>judges reality starts for showing the reality. But you guys

0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:33.240
<v Speaker 1>think it's okay to watch a prank on a show

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:41.160
<v Speaker 1>about this person. Huh. Get the child, girl, honey, boo boo,

0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:47.159
<v Speaker 1>and then listen. A lot of the girls read Ali

0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:52.760
<v Speaker 1>for filth okay, cuz they cause. Let me tell you something, baby,

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>before you go off on a tangent that is unsolicited

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and listen. I do a y'all on my podcast. Okay,

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 1>this is a solicited podcast. I do it because I

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:09.439
<v Speaker 1>want to write. But girl, they're trying to read you

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to Ali, Honey, they're reading you. Boo. They got receipts timeline, Okay,

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:20.680
<v Speaker 1>they're reading you. So a lot of the people brought

0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>up the fact that Ali's mom, Jill Zaren, mentioned on

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:32.200
<v Speaker 1>camera about her going to a fat camp okay, and

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people were challenging Ali saying, oh wait,

0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 1>so you don't like that. So did you not like

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:44.400
<v Speaker 1>it when your mom mentioned on camera about you going

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 1>to a fat camp? Which I mean, look, let's have

0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 1>a real conversation. A lot of people will look at

0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 1>that like that was too much. And I think at

0:23:56.480 --> 0:24:01.919
<v Speaker 1>the time Ali was under twenty one on allegedly, you know,

0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:08.399
<v Speaker 1>that's what it looks like. So was Jill Zaron wrong

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>for having that type of conversation on camera just saying

0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 1>it's something that people are talking about. They're talking about it,

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>so look like I said, I applaud Mary, applaud Roberts Jr. Mary,

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for giving us back for reality television.

0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:38.119
<v Speaker 1>It's what's missing in this genre today. And I just

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 1>give you so much credit for your courageousness, your bravery,

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 1>and again to Robert Jr. Of course more importantly for

0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 1>your courageousness and bravery and honesty. And what I would

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:56.439
<v Speaker 1>like to say in closing is this, you never know

0:24:56.560 --> 0:24:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the power of what the camera can do for someone's

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 1>life life. And it is my deep, deep, deep hope

0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:13.440
<v Speaker 1>that that scene airing will allow Robert Jr. To know

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:16.399
<v Speaker 1>that he has a lot of support from the world.

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:19.960
<v Speaker 1>And I believe in energy first and foremost, I believe

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:23.480
