Speaker 1: Welcome to Reasonably Shady, a production of the Black Effect
Speaker 1: Podcast Network and I Heart Radio. All right, he eats everybody. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this is reasonably shady. What is happening? My name
Speaker 1: is gille Brian, So how y'all doing? This is Robin
Speaker 1: Dixon and we are here today to talk about all
Speaker 1: kinds of things once again. But I want you all
Speaker 1: to know that today it's all about pride. We are
Speaker 1: loving pride, we live pride. We're here for pride. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about some pride. Absolutely, happy Pride month everyone.
Speaker 1: June is Pride month and we are getting our pride on.
Speaker 1: But you know, first and foremost, we always do what
Speaker 1: we do, and that is give our reasonably shady moment
Speaker 1: of the week. Robin. I've had several Oh what about you?
Speaker 1: Oh I can't wait. Well, I mean I have one
Speaker 1: to share. So my reasonably shady moment goes to the cicadas.
Speaker 1: We have not talked about those cicadas. And my DoorDash driver, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, I need like platinum status in door dash.
Speaker 1: Yes you do, yes, But so my door dash driver
Speaker 1: calls you know there you get to text. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: your door your door dash her is approaching blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: So I get a phone call and the door dash
Speaker 1: driver was like, um, it's too many cicadas out here.
Speaker 1: Can you come? Can you come to the car and
Speaker 1: get your food? Like what? So the door dash man
Speaker 1: is scared of cicadas. Yes, it was a girl, was
Speaker 1: a young young lady. And I'll say, okay, I will,
Speaker 1: I will come to the door. And first of all,
Speaker 1: it wasn't even that many cicadas out. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: young lady, if you are scared of the cicadas to
Speaker 1: the point where you can't execut your your job right,
Speaker 1: then how about you just waiting another week or two
Speaker 1: until the cicators cicadas are gone. Yeah, that's that's what
Speaker 1: I'm feeling that I'm talking of feeling that however they are,
Speaker 1: they are making their way out. But they have been
Speaker 1: the worst. Like I have run from cicadas. I have
Speaker 1: um like screened and yelled because they have flown on me.
Speaker 1: It has been a situation. One time I went out
Speaker 1: walking with my kids a couple of weeks ago, and
Speaker 1: that was like a disaster. Yeah, outdoor walks are canceled.
Speaker 1: Out the walks picnics, cook out, Cancel crabs, going to
Speaker 1: the pool that's canceled for right now, cancel cicada's got
Speaker 1: it online. But you know what, it's so crazy. So
Speaker 1: so my son Corey, who is who is thirteen, like
Speaker 1: he's terrified of him. So like we'll be outside and
Speaker 1: he's like like running from this Scara. I remember, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can relate, when I was
Speaker 1: a kid and the cicadas were out and popping seventeen
Speaker 1: years ago. Okay, I've been through this my third time cicadas,
Speaker 1: so I think it was like the first time. So
Speaker 1: seventeen times two is what thirty four years ago? So
Speaker 1: I was probably like eight or something, right, okay, robbing
Speaker 1: with the math and I was like outside like catching them,
Speaker 1: playing with them, And yeah, I didn't. I wasn't scared
Speaker 1: of him like I used. I guess I was a tomboy.
Speaker 1: I would play with frogs. I would catch frogs and
Speaker 1: bring them in the house and robbing. That's weird, No,
Speaker 1: it's not. That's like what we did. We played outside
Speaker 1: all the time, this is true, but we didn't know
Speaker 1: what Nobody playing with the cicadas. They were lightning bugs.
Speaker 1: Did you catch lightning bugs? At least I did catch
Speaker 1: lightning bugs in a jar, but I wasn't touching them. Okay,
Speaker 1: well I was doing all that. So when I see
Speaker 1: these thirteen year old boys scared of cicadas, I'm like,
Speaker 1: what has happened? Listen, you better toughen up them, Corey
Speaker 1: and Carter. You better talk to my mom because if
Speaker 1: they scared of a cicada, Lord, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: terrible life for them. Though it's just it's just different.
Speaker 1: So anyway, so yes, my shady moment, not even just
Speaker 1: the week, the past what month? I guess the cicadas
Speaker 1: go to the cicadas and the door dash driver who
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do her job, Yeah, she needs to
Speaker 1: go indoors for another week or so. Now, Rob, you
Speaker 1: know that I've been traveling. I've been out of town.
Speaker 1: I've been vacationing with my children, um, and we've been
Speaker 1: living our very best life, which I'm very happy about.
Speaker 1: So you know, I've been out here in these streets.
Speaker 1: I've been vacating with my children. And anytime we go out,
Speaker 1: especially like you know, the dinner or whatever, we always
Speaker 1: have like a color that we're gonna wear. So we
Speaker 1: wear our colors and then we go downstairs or we
Speaker 1: you know, we get ready to get in the car,
Speaker 1: and we find a nice place to take pictures. And
Speaker 1: so because you know, we all want to be in
Speaker 1: the picture, we have to find somebody take to picture
Speaker 1: for us. Okay, So we're in a very nice hotel
Speaker 1: in Miami. Actually I can say it is the one
Speaker 1: hotel in Miami, and um it is a little expensive.
Speaker 1: But you know, Jasappie, you know, kirk coins are good
Speaker 1: these days. Okay, alright, So anyway, Um so I asked
Speaker 1: this lady, but very nice, white lady, I said, excuse me,
Speaker 1: can you take a picture of me and my kids?
Speaker 1: And she looks at me. She was like, I'm blind.
Speaker 1: I'm blind. I'm blind. I'm blind. I said what. She
Speaker 1: looked at me, dead in my face and telling me
Speaker 1: she is blind. And then she walks away and proceeds
Speaker 1: to like navigate her way through the crowd. Does she
Speaker 1: have a cane? Like, no cane, no stick, no glasses, no, no,
Speaker 1: she just told me she was blind. Now, if that
Speaker 1: ain't shady, I don't know what it is. She is
Speaker 1: my shady lady of the week. She literally had that
Speaker 1: one ready to go. She was ready for me. Oh
Speaker 1: my god. She said she was blind. She was blind,
Speaker 1: but had nobody helping her, no, no stick help helping
Speaker 1: her to walk. No, okay, and went on her mary
Speaker 1: Way and went on her Mary Way. And I had
Speaker 1: to find somebody else. I couldn't. It took me a
Speaker 1: very long time to find somebody else. I asked another lady.
Speaker 1: She she she pointed to her ears, and she was like,
Speaker 1: I'm on conference call. Conference called. No one wanted to
Speaker 1: take a picture of me and my children, which I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're cute. I don't stand by the way.
Speaker 1: I did see you all your pictures of like the
Speaker 1: same color, and I was like, that is so cute. Yes,
Speaker 1: actually adore my daughter. She coordinates the colors and she's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: tonight it's gonna be white night. Tonight it's gonna be
Speaker 1: yellow light night. So she, you know, make sure that
Speaker 1: we're all on one for our colors. Yes, my kids
Speaker 1: would never do that with me. Yes, But anyway, this
Speaker 1: lady out here in these streets at the one hotel
Speaker 1: in Miami, you were not blind. You're just shady, Okay.
Speaker 1: You did not want to take a picture of me
Speaker 1: and my kids. You're rude. I'm gonna call you a Karen. Yes,
Speaker 1: you were white, you were a Karen. Okay, anyway, moving on, Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's move on to I love the fact that
Speaker 1: we can now talk about, like KARNI vents things that
Speaker 1: are going on in the world. Last week we talked
Speaker 1: about Fallon and Simon and Porscha. Do we have any updates? Yes,
Speaker 1: So I watched the interview. Okay, Fallon's interview. Fallon's interview,
Speaker 1: and in the most nicest way possible, I tried my
Speaker 1: hardest to stay away. Okay, bing, you're borring her, girl,
Speaker 1: you're borring because it was just I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: and and no like shade to her, like this is
Speaker 1: all new. But like so I'll tell you like the
Speaker 1: things that stuck out to me. Number One, she says
Speaker 1: she found out about Porsche and Simon at the same
Speaker 1: time the world did. Okay, that's probably true, right, I really,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess so, yeah, I think that's true.
Speaker 1: I believe that. Okay, I thought that was surprising. Um.
Speaker 1: Number two, Simon really wanted her to do the show. Okay,
Speaker 1: he really pushed you to do the show, which led
Speaker 1: me to believe that's why he's with Porsche, because he
Speaker 1: is interested in the limelight and the you know, fame.
Speaker 1: And since Foulon, for whatever reason, didn't really you know,
Speaker 1: get it on that season she was on. This past
Speaker 1: season she was on, I guess we didn't see her
Speaker 1: that much, like, I don't know, maybe just she just
Speaker 1: it wasn't her thing. And I think that's the whole
Speaker 1: reason why he is out with Falin and he's with
Speaker 1: because Okay, so forget the fact that you know Pors
Speaker 1: she's beautiful, she has a great personality, she has a
Speaker 1: big booty. None that he don't like, none of that.
Speaker 1: He just likes fact she's on TV. Is that what
Speaker 1: you're saying, Robin Dixon? Okay, Yes, and no, I mean
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he is attracted to the
Speaker 1: fame number one and then number and then number two.
Speaker 1: All that other stuff is amazing now and I think
Speaker 1: he really I just think he really really from what Okay,
Speaker 1: first of all, from all his activity on social media
Speaker 1: he stays, you know, talking on social media about what's
Speaker 1: going on with them, um, and then just from hearing
Speaker 1: Fallon say that he really wanted her to do Atlanta.
Speaker 1: It just made me feel like, Okay, he's more attracted
Speaker 1: to the fame than anything else. Maybe that's what caused
Speaker 1: their marriage to fall apart, because maybe he wanted more
Speaker 1: from from Falen and she couldn't give it because he
Speaker 1: didn't figure out before she joined the show that she
Speaker 1: was boring, right I got. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess that's just kind of those That's what I
Speaker 1: gathered from that, Okay, I'll say out of that, like Fallon,
Speaker 1: you know, she was a class act um. She really
Speaker 1: wasn't trashing anyone. She really she didn't blame Porsche for anything.
Speaker 1: But you know, she said the two of them, Simon
Speaker 1: and Fallon, are responsible for the marriage falling apart. But
Speaker 1: the timeline just sounded really fishy. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: a lot of like so she talked, she was talking
Speaker 1: about a bunch of nothing, yes and no. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like I learned stuff, but it didn't really
Speaker 1: it was nothing that was like like super shocking. Um
Speaker 1: for me, it's just still a little bit more confusion.
Speaker 1: I really don't have like huge answers to anything. Um,
Speaker 1: the timeline is seems really fishy as to like when
Speaker 1: their marriage fell apart, and oh and oh, this is
Speaker 1: the other part. She said they have been going through
Speaker 1: therapy um and she thought everything was all good. So
Speaker 1: this is where I start again, this is funny. So
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there listening to it, and one is like
Speaker 1: on the couch, he's like watching TV, but he like
Speaker 1: he can hear it, and so he st arts off
Speaker 1: and he's like, I really like her since so I
Speaker 1: started okay, Wine likes fouling. Okay. Right then towards the
Speaker 1: end of the interview, he was like, turn it off.
Speaker 1: She sounds stupid. One was able to deduce that foulon
Speaker 1: your liar, okay, because because she went from like, you know,
Speaker 1: oh we take you know, I don't blame Porsche. We
Speaker 1: both played a part in the demise of our marriage
Speaker 1: to saying Okay, Simon and I were going through therapy
Speaker 1: and he hadn't been home, and this is where it
Speaker 1: started getting a little weird. He hadn't been home in
Speaker 1: three months, right, And I talked to him, you know,
Speaker 1: I talked on the phone and we all, you know,
Speaker 1: we were we were good. And then the next day
Speaker 1: I found out he felt he filed for divorce. And
Speaker 1: it was just like we it was listening. If your
Speaker 1: man is at home in three months, that's not your man,
Speaker 1: right right. So that's when one was like turn her off. Alright, alright.
Speaker 1: So so so I think this like at this point,
Speaker 1: we should just let the cameras just pick up at
Speaker 1: this point, because it's a whole bunch of back and
Speaker 1: forth and failing in the in the supposed boyfriend who
Speaker 1: said he's not, and you know, they keep going on Instagram.
Speaker 1: We're just gonna be entertaining on Instagram until we see
Speaker 1: what happens on the show when this camera start rolling.
Speaker 1: I'm here for that. I'm here for minding my business,
Speaker 1: are you really? No? Not really? Okay, moving on, alright,
Speaker 1: So I didn't. I also did not see the documentary
Speaker 1: about Tom Girardi. But you saw it, okay, so give me,
Speaker 1: give me t give me o that man. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I'll watched it. That actually came out today, okay, right
Speaker 1: today is yeah, it just came out today. And I
Speaker 1: will tell you this. I signed up for Hulu, yes,
Speaker 1: to watch this. No, not Robin has a Hulu subscription. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I signed up just to watch this, and oh it
Speaker 1: was good. I didn't. I was watching it on my
Speaker 1: way here. I didn't get to finish it, but um
Speaker 1: I picked up some like I don't know the proper term,
Speaker 1: like psychopath vibes from him because people had voicemail recordings
Speaker 1: like once they started feeling like, you know, stuff was
Speaker 1: getting really fishy with their money, he would like leave
Speaker 1: them voicemails like I'm a really nice guy. You don't
Speaker 1: I hope you don't hate me, but you know, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to I'm trying to get get everything taken care of,
Speaker 1: and I know it's really frustrating for you, and it's
Speaker 1: really frustrating for me. Like me, like, but the whole
Speaker 1: time he's like lying to them, you know, like so
Speaker 1: what I don't understand. It's like, okay, it's simple math.
Speaker 1: If you get a one hundred million dollars settlement for
Speaker 1: your clients, yes, you take your which most lawyers do. Good,
Speaker 1: twenty millions, that's nice, that's nice money, and you give
Speaker 1: them their eighty million and call it a day. But
Speaker 1: what he was doing was like he was stalling. He
Speaker 1: was like trying to piecemeal it and give it to
Speaker 1: them in like monthly installment, and it was just and
Speaker 1: and what what I gather is that it's that has
Speaker 1: been going on for years and it caught up to him. Um,
Speaker 1: what I thought was kind of stupid was that he
Speaker 1: would even allow Erica to be on the real housepus
Speaker 1: of Beverly Hills, because you know, she's over there talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, showing off her house and her money and
Speaker 1: the planes they have and all this stuff. And meanwhile
Speaker 1: there's people literally like hunting him down for their settlement.
Speaker 1: So it's like, if you knew that you owe these
Speaker 1: people money, why are you allowing your wife to go on? Well,
Speaker 1: then then that that clarifies for me, or solidifies for
Speaker 1: me that she did not know. Erica did not know.
Speaker 1: But that's going on. I don't think she knew. I
Speaker 1: really don't. I don't think she knew. I don't think
Speaker 1: she knew. She definitely didn't know the degree to it.
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, well, we'll see, like one
Speaker 1: when when she filed for divorce, which we just saw
Speaker 1: in the last episode, she filed for divorce, maybe that's
Speaker 1: when she started to realize, like, something's wrong, something's wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm in trouble. You know, I'm gonna have no money
Speaker 1: if I don't protect myself. So I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: her filing for divorce was to protect himself. But I mean,
Speaker 1: we'll see anyway. But like literally, Tom is like in
Speaker 1: a deposition. He's like, yeah, they're asking him, like how
Speaker 1: much money he has, and he's like, yeah, I had
Speaker 1: like eighty million cash, but it's all gone and I
Speaker 1: had fifty millions. This is bizarre. At fifty million dollars
Speaker 1: in stock a stock portfolio and that's all gone. Like
Speaker 1: stop it, Okay, we're gonna move on to another deposition. Okay.
Speaker 1: Because there's a man, a black man that we love
Speaker 1: to hate and then hate to love. His name is
Speaker 1: Kanye West, and reportedly he lashed out he had to
Speaker 1: give a deposition because he's in some sort of legal
Speaker 1: battle with people that he was doing business with when
Speaker 1: he comes to his gospel music or whatever. And during
Speaker 1: the deposition, which was court order because he did not
Speaker 1: want to come, he said he wanted to do it
Speaker 1: virtually because he don't have time for these people. He
Speaker 1: has other things to do. He is friends with Trump,
Speaker 1: he said that this the quote, he's friends with Trump's yes.
Speaker 1: So during the deposition, he puts on a Jesus head covering, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't even know what that what?
Speaker 1: So is that a mask that looks like I don't
Speaker 1: know what that means? Don't know what that means? Can
Speaker 1: we get a photo? I don't know? And then he
Speaker 1: called himself the richest black man in America. Wrong, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's very wrong. So so we're just gonna forget Jay
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's I mean, what about the man that paid
Speaker 1: off all the more house students him? He's like, he's
Speaker 1: called I'm trying to find him. That's that's what's his
Speaker 1: name is? Mary? Leave him alone? Okay, I'm gonna leave
Speaker 1: him alone anyway. So my boy of the story is Kanye.
Speaker 1: Cut it out. Okay, be clear that you're not that important.
Speaker 1: You don't need to put on the Jesus head covering
Speaker 1: because you're not Jesus. If you're friends were Trump and
Speaker 1: you still want to tell the world that you should
Speaker 1: keep that to yourself. And Kim, I think he dodged
Speaker 1: a bullet. Hunh oh my gosh, you know what. She
Speaker 1: dodged a bullet. And we've seen reports and pictures of
Speaker 1: him with this model, the New Girl Arena, who I
Speaker 1: guess has a kid. Or used to date Bradley Cooper. Right,
Speaker 1: she's I don't think you have a kid together. I
Speaker 1: think they do. Okay, she used date Bradley Cooper. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: So first of all, can we pause for a second
Speaker 1: if you hear a whole bunch of noise? Okay, fine, Fine.
Speaker 1: The studio is in the studio where Robin and I
Speaker 1: do what we do call our reasonably shavy podcast is
Speaker 1: in like my basement. Okay, upstairs, I have workers here,
Speaker 1: construction workers. They're working on my front door, in my entryway. Listen,
Speaker 1: the renovation is continuing. Whether we gotta do a podcast
Speaker 1: and they're allowed to tell? That's all I mean. Can
Speaker 1: we tell? Can we tell him to go to lunch? Damn, No,
Speaker 1: we're not. We got they took the lunch break, Yes,
Speaker 1: they took the siesta. Okay. So all that noise in
Speaker 1: the background is is the workers? Sorry? Sorry? Yes? All right?
Speaker 1: So okay, So I feel like Kim. You know, recently
Speaker 1: we saw these pictures of Kanye with Irena Shaike Shake.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to say her name, but I
Speaker 1: feel like him is probably looking at the pictures laughing like,
Speaker 1: oh he is your problem now. Booboo, this is all
Speaker 1: you You can have him have at it because she
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know all the ins and outs,
Speaker 1: and I feel like what we've seen is enough to
Speaker 1: actually have a little bit of sympathy for her. I
Speaker 1: think she probably tried her best to, you know, deal
Speaker 1: with his eccentric personality. We'll call it that and whatever
Speaker 1: else comes with it. My hat is off to her
Speaker 1: for dealing with that. My hat is off to her
Speaker 1: for really trying to put together and have a family unit.
Speaker 1: You know, they have four kids together. She really tried
Speaker 1: to make it work. And I kind of feel sorry
Speaker 1: for a little bit a little bit, right, yeah, because
Speaker 1: when you have four kids, like I understand getting divorced,
Speaker 1: you know, without children or you know, but four kids
Speaker 1: for small kids, and you want them to have stability.
Speaker 1: From what I understand, KNYE want to move to different
Speaker 1: plays every year, and you know, you just need to
Speaker 1: have stability for child dream And then your kids have
Speaker 1: to see that your father is showing up to depositions
Speaker 1: with Jesus Jesus head on his head, I don't Jesus
Speaker 1: head wrap like like kind of come on. You need
Speaker 1: to take life seriously and you can't just thumb your
Speaker 1: nose at like real legal stuff, like yes, it's not
Speaker 1: going to help you at all, and it never you know, Kim,
Speaker 1: we all know went behind him and apologized for all
Speaker 1: his behavior for the entire time that they were married. Clearly,
Speaker 1: she's I'm sure very happy she no longer has to
Speaker 1: do that, um, because she's not a babysitter. She's a
Speaker 1: grown a woman who is holding down a billion dollar
Speaker 1: business and four kids. So oh and getting people out
Speaker 1: of jail. So my hat goes off to Kim. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, she's got a lot going on. Now you
Speaker 1: have some paid six information. Oh yeah, so I just
Speaker 1: need to share this story that. Okay, the headline alone
Speaker 1: was like made me stop. Let me read the headline.
Speaker 1: This is the headline that I read, and then I
Speaker 1: had to go, you know, read them more. Manhattan socialite
Speaker 1: ditches her restaurantur partner for her identical twins sister's husband. Okay,
Speaker 1: right now, I want you all to know that one
Speaker 1: of my twins is in the room with us and
Speaker 1: she's looking like w TF, what in the world is happening?
Speaker 1: Because that would never happen. So okay, this is like
Speaker 1: I mean this is crazy. There's Swedish born. These ones
Speaker 1: are Swedish born. Um, because so these are not black people,
Speaker 1: because we don't get down like that. Just for the record,
Speaker 1: black people don't do this. Okay. So Charlotte Bonstrom and
Speaker 1: her sister is Cecilia Bonstrom. So so Charlotte, she left
Speaker 1: her restaurant to her husband, Vittorio assaf and he owns like, um, Sarafina,
Speaker 1: the sarap restaurants and stuff. So she left him. Okay,
Speaker 1: and you'll be with the billionaire. Well, no, I don't
Speaker 1: know the other ones a billionaire, so twenty they were
Speaker 1: married for twenty years. Okay, she left him to go
Speaker 1: get with her, to go marry her identical twin sisters spouse.
Speaker 1: So her identical twin sister was married to a founder
Speaker 1: of a fashion label, Za Dig and Voltaire. I know
Speaker 1: I have a couple of things by them. I can't
Speaker 1: remember exactly what the weird part is. So like I
Speaker 1: started going on like Instagram. So the one that was
Speaker 1: married to the fashion label, she's like the creative director
Speaker 1: for the fashion label and she's still like working for
Speaker 1: the fashion label. Okay, but these these are identical twins.
Speaker 1: They look alike obviously pure, so he don't know who
Speaker 1: he's getting. I mean I think you know, you know,
Speaker 1: he's like, I'll take I'll take either one. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think your daughters are identical twins. Like like a
Speaker 1: door that would be like you know you dating angels. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would never never go down the wide opened, Like
Speaker 1: how do you do that? That would never happen. So
Speaker 1: you literally are like we can throw that sisterhood in
Speaker 1: the trash, right, yes? And then the man, I mean,
Speaker 1: she's like a whole man. Find your own man, That's
Speaker 1: what I want to say, find your own man, right,
Speaker 1: like the man. Okay, so the husband, the husband who
Speaker 1: got with the twin, like dirt bag. Clearly you you
Speaker 1: have a type. I mean your type is the same person.
Speaker 1: That's your type. So just stay with your wife. You're
Speaker 1: a dirt bag. I don't like you. I'm never buying
Speaker 1: a piece of your clothes again. What is it? Za
Speaker 1: in Voltaire? Never buying that again, Dick, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right. Yes, but
Speaker 1: it's so in that bizarre that's very bizarre, so bizarre. Yes,
Speaker 1: And if you have any bizarre type of stories like
Speaker 1: that please send them to us, because we want to
Speaker 1: talk about it. We want to laugh at him, and
Speaker 1: really it almost makes me feel like this whole Portion
Speaker 1: in Simon thing is nothing. Yes, portion is getting We
Speaker 1: don't care about portion anymore because twins are marrying each
Speaker 1: other's husband. Yes, Portion had nothing on Charlotte and Cecilia,
Speaker 1: not at all. Now I do want to talk about
Speaker 1: because in my travels with my kids, I was in Miami. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Miami is actually now the new Vegas maybe because
Speaker 1: it's like hosting all of these nonsense fights. Okay, we
Speaker 1: have Floyd, yes, and a man that I ain't never
Speaker 1: heard of before. Now we have YouTube against TikTok. We
Speaker 1: got all these stupid ass fights. Yes, I said, it's stupid.
Speaker 1: Does anyone care who's over the age of twenty six? Well,
Speaker 1: so I thought I cared. I actually paid for the
Speaker 1: fight for Floyd's fight, and I literally never again am
Speaker 1: I falling for this crap? Never again? But my kids
Speaker 1: kept telling me like, so what is it? Over this

Speaker 1: like looking at me, like are you gonna buy it, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you better get out of my face. I'm
Speaker 1: not yes, we're not interested in YouTube and TikTok. And
Speaker 1: then and then I'm like, the highlights are going to
Speaker 1: be on YouTube and TikTok like any minute, exactly, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean exactly. It makes absolutely no sense
Speaker 1: to me. But guess what they're making katrillions of money. Word.
Speaker 1: I'm almost like, m maybe I should signed him to
Speaker 1: get my ass beat to get dropped like oo ocho,
Speaker 1: why did you get Oh my god, wait did you
Speaker 1: see Lamar odom did he fight? Oh? Wait a minute.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Lamar, he gave his He hung out with
Speaker 1: Wendy Williams that night. By the way, Wendy Williams, you
Speaker 1: getting your swerve on Honey right, She's now trying to
Speaker 1: get with Gary Owens. You asked, how do you invite
Speaker 1: somebody on to your show to do an interview? And
Speaker 1: then you asked them out for a date. I think something.
Speaker 1: She needs to put that horm on patch back on,
Speaker 1: Honey listen. And they went out on the date. They
Speaker 1: were spotted out. Yes, so after she and then she
Speaker 1: tells us she was hanging out with Lamar after um
Speaker 1: he won his fake belt, like this is a mass
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Wendy, Wendy, get yours, honey, because you're
Speaker 1: getting it right. I need you to watch the clips
Speaker 1: of Lamar's fight through. Is it worse than Chad getting dropped?
Speaker 1: Which one? Well, Lamar one? Right, So let Lamar. It's
Speaker 1: like literally like Lamar is like six ten and he's
Speaker 1: fighting Aaron Carter. Do you remember Aaron. Aaron Carter is
Speaker 1: probably like five four, right, and so he's just like
Speaker 1: these long arm I mean he's he's swinging at Aaron Carter.
Speaker 1: Aaron Carter is running all over the ring like like
Speaker 1: a bad but Aaron Carter did get some good hits
Speaker 1: off at him. It was like he has some good
Speaker 1: hits and I think he just like warm himself out
Speaker 1: because Lamar was just like swinging his like that. Right.
Speaker 1: But Lamar, I'm gonna say this, Lamar, your belt doesn't
Speaker 1: count if you're fighting a four year old, like, it
Speaker 1: doesn't count. If you're fighting somebody that's half your size,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. What is the belt four? I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's for the it's like the winner of the losers, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think people are so excited to
Speaker 1: be like outside of this pandemic, and they're finding any
Speaker 1: reason to get people together to like, you know, do something. Hey,
Speaker 1: if if watching these horrible boxing matches brings people joy,
Speaker 1: he listen. We were in Miami and my engrace, my
Speaker 1: oldest story. You know, she's always got something up asleep.
Speaker 1: She's just like, why why don't we stay and then
Speaker 1: we can go to the fight. First of all, I
Speaker 1: have no interest in being bothered with these little teeny
Speaker 1: boppers that are going to this fight. And now I'm
Speaker 1: not spending all this No, the answer is no. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But you know, honestly, I hope they kind of stopped
Speaker 1: because I think they're devaluing the sport. And you know,
Speaker 1: I hope these guys realized how serious this sport is,
Speaker 1: how people train all their lives for it, and they're
Speaker 1: kind of like taking away from it and almost making
Speaker 1: a mockery of it. Hopefully, hopefully this will be Hopefully
Speaker 1: this will be it. They're more coming, or Door says,
Speaker 1: there's more coming, all right, but we have we had better,
Speaker 1: more exciting news. It was like breaking news. The breaking
Speaker 1: news was that Watch What Happens Live was actually live
Speaker 1: with Andy Cohen and people in the club house. Andy,
Speaker 1: you have suffered. Huh, you have survived because you were
Speaker 1: in there by yourself. You were scratching your head, you
Speaker 1: were scratching your toes. You so you're scratching everything, and
Speaker 1: you was talking to yourself. You was dealing with the WiFi.
Speaker 1: Remember one day I was on I was on the
Speaker 1: floor trying to fix my WiFi, and you was probably
Speaker 1: very angry with yourself. But anywhere you now have a
Speaker 1: live studio audience and live guess Andy Coing. Congratulations, the
Speaker 1: round of applause for Andy. All right, last thing I
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about is I saw the musical with
Speaker 1: my kids in the Heat in the Heights. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what it was called In the Heights. Loved it that much, Yes,
Speaker 1: and it was actually amazing. So if you liked Hamilton's,
Speaker 1: then you'll love in the Heights. Yes. On HBO, Max,
Speaker 1: I'm giving them a little shout out. It's the guy,
Speaker 1: the Miranda guy. Yes, he did, he did it, and
Speaker 1: it was it was everything. Okay. Um, I didn't watch Hamilton,
Speaker 1: but I would take you. I'm just not into I'm
Speaker 1: not into musicals and stuff. So angels, angels and the musicals.
Speaker 1: So did you like it? A door? If you're not,
Speaker 1: you like it? Okay, yeah it was amazing. It was
Speaker 1: actually amazing. Check it out. All right. So we we
Speaker 1: gotta get to what we get into and today's episode
Speaker 1: is called the Power of Pride. All right. We want
Speaker 1: to just be very clear. We know that we have
Speaker 1: so many fans that are part of the lb gt
Speaker 1: Q A community, and um, we are so excited to
Speaker 1: be in a space and in a place and in
Speaker 1: a year that we can just be excited about pride,
Speaker 1: talk about pride. It's not taboo. And right now, starting
Speaker 1: off this little conversation, I have my fifteen year old
Speaker 1: daughter Adore with us, because, um, I think the younger
Speaker 1: generation is really I don't want to say there's spearheading
Speaker 1: the pride movement in a different way, but they have
Speaker 1: a different take on it than we than I did.
Speaker 1: I can say when I was growing out, absolutely yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like the younger generation, they're growing up already
Speaker 1: understanding pride and l g B t Q I a
Speaker 1: issues or even existence. I mean, I'll be honest, when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, I didn't even I didn't even
Speaker 1: know that there was a community or there were issues
Speaker 1: to be aware of, um, and so I really loved
Speaker 1: that the younger generation, they're they're growing up with that consciousness.
Speaker 1: It wasn't part of my consciousness when I grew up. Yes,
Speaker 1: now a door, I do remember when you were taking
Speaker 1: ballet and you had a girl in your class who's
Speaker 1: who had two fathers. Um, was that weird to you? No? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't even remember. I was so little. But after
Speaker 1: years after that, I had another girl in my school
Speaker 1: who had two fathers, and I just I thought it
Speaker 1: was just so cool, like I didn't see anything wrong
Speaker 1: with it, Like they were all so sweet, and I
Speaker 1: just I think that now it's just really normal and accepted,
Speaker 1: like even on TV and everything, there'll be more represented,
Speaker 1: and I feel like the more they're represented, the less
Speaker 1: people are going to have to worry about not feeling accepted. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I totally weird or something like unusual because it's like
Speaker 1: happening more often. Yeah. Now, I do have a question
Speaker 1: because Demi Levato just recently came out but in saying
Speaker 1: that she is non binary, so I don't really know
Speaker 1: as much. But non binary is where you don't specifically
Speaker 1: identify as a he or she you're plural, your, your, your, your,
Speaker 1: they in them, You're one person, but you don't identify
Speaker 1: as a specific gender. So instead your day then okay,
Speaker 1: and that's what Demi Livado is now. Yea, So Demi
Speaker 1: identifies as non binary and and Demi wants us to
Speaker 1: refer to them as they or them. Um, I mean
Speaker 1: that's definitely something that like, as I'm as I'm even
Speaker 1: saying that, I'm trying to refrain from saying she wants
Speaker 1: us to refer you know what I mean or you know?
Speaker 1: So it is. It is an adjustment, it's something to understand.
Speaker 1: I wonder is that something that is direc actually connected
Speaker 1: to sexuality or is that a totally different, different issue
Speaker 1: or topic. Yeah, I think that it's different because like
Speaker 1: the way you identify as like how who you are
Speaker 1: as a person versus like your sexuality is like a
Speaker 1: different area of who you are? Got it? Got it?
Speaker 1: Do you have any friends that identified it that way? No?
Speaker 1: I don't have any friends identify that way. But I
Speaker 1: know someone who was on my who had to substitute
Speaker 1: from our lacrosse team and they were transgender, and so
Speaker 1: because they weren't allowed to play for the boys team.
Speaker 1: They made them play with us, but I would just
Speaker 1: like didn't really know, and like I didn't know what
Speaker 1: to say or like how to Okay, so this is
Speaker 1: so this is my question. They were transgender, so where
Speaker 1: did they were? They born a girl? So I didn't ask.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing because they're not allowed to play with the boys.
Speaker 1: They're born a girl and now they're a boy and
Speaker 1: they're not allowed to play with the boys because of
Speaker 1: just rules that already been set. M got you. I
Speaker 1: do remember there's a debate as to whether or not
Speaker 1: that's fair. Right, So if you were born male but
Speaker 1: you are you have transition to female, should you be
Speaker 1: allowed to play as a female in female sports? Right now? What?
Speaker 1: What are your what are your thoughts as a fifteen
Speaker 1: year old? What do you think? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: just feel like with all of that, there's like so
Speaker 1: much like genetics and so much things behind it that
Speaker 1: like I don't know, I'm not educated enough to like
Speaker 1: know like what that person like how athletic they are
Speaker 1: even person by person, not everyone's going to be a
Speaker 1: fair competitor, So like what's really the scale of Oh
Speaker 1: it's fair to compete against this person? Beside your compete
Speaker 1: against that person. I feel like more sports should be
Speaker 1: more inclusive anyways, Like I feel like like more girls
Speaker 1: sportshould get more funding and other things like that. But
Speaker 1: I feel like for translator people, I don't really know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I can see where it's a really touchy
Speaker 1: issue because you know, just naturally, men are stronger, more athletic,
Speaker 1: and so if you have an athlete who was born
Speaker 1: in ale but identifies as female, that natural athleticism and
Speaker 1: strength is still the advantage of that is still going
Speaker 1: to be there. So I understand that the debate not
Speaker 1: even saw where Caitlyn Jenner even thinks that they should
Speaker 1: not be allowed, because imagine if if Caitlyn Jenner is
Speaker 1: saying that, and and Caitlin was a Olympic athlete, So
Speaker 1: if Caitlin were to have transitioned, you know, when she
Speaker 1: was in her prime, would that have been fair to
Speaker 1: the other women? But then where do you compete, Like,
Speaker 1: where do you play? So then you're just nowhere, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's that's the hard part because that's not fair either.
Speaker 1: You want everyone to be able to have the same
Speaker 1: opportunity to participate in sports and athletics and yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's hard. That's hard. UM. So for you just let
Speaker 1: you know, UM. And I'm so happy that you are
Speaker 1: totally inclusive and you don't even think about it twice,
Speaker 1: and it's just speaks to how far we've come. I
Speaker 1: remember when I was your age and like my dad,
Speaker 1: you know, he's eighty something as Oh, he's a very
Speaker 1: funny guy, but anytime he felt like somebody was gay,
Speaker 1: he would say, you know, I think, oh, that gentleman
Speaker 1: has sugar in his tank, and I'm like sugar in
Speaker 1: his tank. For the longest time, I didn't understand what
Speaker 1: that meant, and so I got older and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: he means that the person is gay. And it was
Speaker 1: very taboo to even discuss back then. So just to
Speaker 1: see how far we've come is a beautiful thing. I
Speaker 1: think that it's because of all the people that like
Speaker 1: you got to surround me with my life, like other
Speaker 1: people who are more just to have different ways of
Speaker 1: life than like you or Dad. I think it helped
Speaker 1: me versus some kids don't have that much exposure to
Speaker 1: things like that, so then they go to school and
Speaker 1: they're like, what is going on? Like I don't know
Speaker 1: what And I'm like, girl, like, let me help you around.
Speaker 1: But I just think it's so important for kids to
Speaker 1: just be exposed to all different types of people who
Speaker 1: just identifying different ways, because that will just help them
Speaker 1: in their future. Yeah, and I've always taught you guys
Speaker 1: that we love everybody when when we don't treat anybody different,
Speaker 1: lee and love is love. And I'll be honest. So
Speaker 1: my I have two boys and they play sports, and
Speaker 1: so they have a lot of you know, we were
Speaker 1: constantly around a team of boys, and I will frequently
Speaker 1: hear them, you know, say oh, that's gay or you know,
Speaker 1: when they're like the boys like oh if they say
Speaker 1: something that, like if they're eating a hot dog, it's like,
Speaker 1: oh that's gay. Like it's all this and I'm always like,
Speaker 1: guys like stop, like so you know, they're still we
Speaker 1: still have a ways to go with educating people and
Speaker 1: exposing them and and just making them you know, like
Speaker 1: accepting and just realizing like this is a normal part
Speaker 1: of life. And so I'm constantly telling the kids, you
Speaker 1: know that my my boys are around, you know, stop
Speaker 1: using stop using that as a as a like a
Speaker 1: bad thing. Stop you know, So it's we're not quite
Speaker 1: there yet, um, but I think it it does help
Speaker 1: when there are other children or people who are accepting
Speaker 1: and and maybe maybe they have hear from them to say, okay,
Speaker 1: this is not okay, Like yeah, stop, so you know
Speaker 1: what love is love? And I was just very impressed
Speaker 1: with our Vice President Kamala Harris who marched in the
Speaker 1: DC Pride parade. Thank you Lucia, her and her husband,
Speaker 1: they marched. It's awesome. And you know, her secret service
Speaker 1: were like having a fit. Yes, secret service was having
Speaker 1: a fit, and we didn't give a damn. Okay, but
Speaker 1: I love that there was the first sitting either Vice
Speaker 1: president or president that actually marched in a gay parade.
Speaker 1: I think that that speaks volumes for who and what
Speaker 1: she is. She had her love is Love t shirt
Speaker 1: on and she was rocking and her little pink jacket
Speaker 1: and her tender shoes. That is awesome and that that
Speaker 1: actually brings up the memory when we were filming season one,
Speaker 1: we didn't get to see this, um, but we actually
Speaker 1: had the opportunity. No, I'm sorry, I think there was
Speaker 1: season two, season two, Yeah, we had the opportunity to
Speaker 1: walk in the Gay Pride parade in d C. And
Speaker 1: it was a day. I mean, it was hot, it
Speaker 1: was a long day, it was hired, but it was like,
Speaker 1: the energy was amazing. It was full of love. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that that we had the opportunity to
Speaker 1: do that. It was such a beautiful day. And I'm
Speaker 1: mad that that Bravo didn't show a Bravo get that
Speaker 1: footage and show it, because it was. It was definitely
Speaker 1: an amazing day and it is a beautiful energy. Like
Speaker 1: the energy is so peaceful, and it's just so much
Speaker 1: love and everybody's inclusive. Yes, and I'm happy that the
Speaker 1: I guess the logo or whatever it is a rainbow.
Speaker 1: That makes sense because everybody is just feeling love and included,
Speaker 1: and no one is feeling um judged because no one
Speaker 1: should be judged for who they want to love. I'm
Speaker 1: not in the gay community to know what goes down
Speaker 1: at the gay Pride parade um, but if there is
Speaker 1: a separation of a white parade and a black parade,
Speaker 1: and a white gay Pride moment and a black I
Speaker 1: mean pride should be everybody is together, right, it should be.
Speaker 1: But I think we shouldn't forget the fact that Black
Speaker 1: gay people already have a tough time with I guess
Speaker 1: acceptance in the Black community itself, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So so they're so they're dealing with acceptance within the
Speaker 1: black community or you know, their families or whoever has
Speaker 1: you know, not been as accepting of homosexuality, and then
Speaker 1: they have to deal with just race relations between you know,
Speaker 1: whites and blacks, and you know, so they have it's
Speaker 1: like a it's multilayered of what they have to deal with. Discrimination. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that we kind of you know, as for me, just
Speaker 1: as a heterosexual Black woman, like, I don't think about that.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, while we've come along a long way, um,
Speaker 1: just with you know, pride in general, it sounds like
Speaker 1: we have a lot a longer way to go, and
Speaker 1: hopefully the Black community can do a better job of
Speaker 1: you know, understanding and accepting our gay brothers and sisters,
Speaker 1: and hopefully the gay eights, blacks, Asians, whomever can all
Speaker 1: come together, you know, just as a unified front and
Speaker 1: not as a separate you know, to totally separate causes
Speaker 1: and so well, you know, we are the best allies
Speaker 1: that we can be. Clearly, we got for a long
Speaker 1: way to go, so we do. Yeah, hopefully we opened
Speaker 1: some eyes to some people today who are listening, so
Speaker 1: we can, you know, continue to add more allies. Yes,
Speaker 1: I hope. I hope so too. And just for the record,
Speaker 1: just that everybody knows there's there was a man by
Speaker 1: the name of Bayyard Rustin. I've talked about him before
Speaker 1: in interviews. He was the one that um spearhead and
Speaker 1: orchestrated the march on Washington. He was one of Martin
Speaker 1: Luther King's like right hand man. He didn't talk about
Speaker 1: the fact at the time that he was gay because
Speaker 1: he didn't want to distract from this whole civil rights movement.
Speaker 1: But he was and everybody that knew him knew it.
Speaker 1: So he was one of our black gay pioneers. Fantastic
Speaker 1: for the record, yes, yes, yes, Now what's he involved
Speaker 1: in the gay rights movement as well? After or at
Speaker 1: some point, um, I don't know about that, but definitely
Speaker 1: all the way involved in the civil rights movement. So
Speaker 1: we want to give a big shout out to Bayyard Rustin.
Speaker 1: So that is how we feel. We love our gay
Speaker 1: community that loves us. We want to just give you
Speaker 1: all the happiest and the biggest pride we ever can
Speaker 1: we love when June comes around because um, you know
Speaker 1: it's it's time for us to put on our rainbows, right.
