Speaker 1: I don't know if she's still posting stuff because I
Speaker 1: don't really like keep up with a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: But she would sell mugs and stuff that have like
Speaker 1: different Bravo talent, and this is one that she made
Speaker 1: I've had this for a few years.
Speaker 2: Oh I love it.
Speaker 1: Really this is our season five. These photos are from
Speaker 1: our season five, right, yeah.
Speaker 2: Love love, totally love. Thanks, very cute. Okay, so what
Speaker 2: is your shady moment?
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so I'm not giving away tea because Andy
Speaker 1: Cohen has already announced or has asked people for questions
Speaker 1: for our reunion. So we were being filming our reunion
Speaker 1: very soon, and you know, of course we have to
Speaker 1: find something to wear, and I'm not going to give
Speaker 1: up the color or anything like that. But anyway, when
Speaker 1: I started just looking around for something to wear, I
Speaker 1: was underwhelmed by what I was finding. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: came across this really fly, cute design in a different
Speaker 1: color by a designer overseas. Okay, nice, and I ended
Speaker 1: up making a connection with a local stylist and a
Speaker 1: local designer here in Baltimore to make me a version
Speaker 1: of it in the color that we needed in Right.
Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, so there's a whole custom design,
Speaker 1: you know, so we're doing a little custom thing from scratch.
Speaker 1: The shady part is like, why would I do this
Speaker 1: to myself?
Speaker 2: Why? Wait? Wait? How long have you been working on it? Like,
Speaker 2: how long have you been in the price?
Speaker 1: This is this is this is all the shady part
Speaker 1: I have been to. I have been to Baltimore, to
Speaker 1: the factory, the studio like maybe six times. Well yes,
Speaker 1: and now and I have and I'm going today after
Speaker 1: we finished, and I probably have one more time to go.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, how I am the biggest homebody, the
Speaker 1: big I want to stay on my couch.
Speaker 2: I don't want to leave my house for nothing? Why
Speaker 2: did I do this to myself? Every day? I'm like,
Speaker 2: why do they need to see you a hundred times?
Speaker 2: Like I understand that part because.
Speaker 1: It's it's not because like it's it's not just a
Speaker 1: simple dress, okay, So like I like I don't want
Speaker 1: to like give it up or whatever. So it's not
Speaker 1: just a simple dress. So it's not just like a
Speaker 1: simple design. So it's like you go, okay, and then
Speaker 1: it's so crazy. It's like the process has had me
Speaker 1: wanting to abort because you know, when you like, you go,
Speaker 1: they take your measurements and you you know, okay, this
Speaker 1: is the sketch, this is what is the drawing, and
Speaker 1: then you're like, okay, we want to you know, come
Speaker 1: and try it on and you go you try it on, You're.
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, this looks crazy like this, you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, I'm just like a board and it's like no,
Speaker 1: like you gotta trust the process. So then you go
Speaker 1: back the next time and then make adjustments.
Speaker 2: And then because they make like the.
Speaker 1: It's really a process to get you know, cause they
Speaker 1: have to like make the pattern and cut it and
Speaker 1: fit it. And then you come in and they tweak
Speaker 1: and they pull and okay, it needs to be tighter here,
Speaker 1: it needs to do this, blah blah blah. And then
Speaker 1: they do that again, and then they add different things
Speaker 1: and I can't wait, Yeah, it's going to be like
Speaker 1: so yesterday I went and I was like, okay, it's
Speaker 1: coming together, Like I see it.
Speaker 2: It looks, you know, were getting there. I see it.
Speaker 2: But I really was like, oh my gosh, why did
Speaker 2: I do this? I started looking for backup dresses like
Speaker 2: I was just like, no, but I have been down
Speaker 2: there like in the past couple of weeks, six times.
Speaker 2: I'm going again today. I probably have to go one
Speaker 2: more one more time. It's a process.
Speaker 1: And then of course i'm you know, I'm sorry guys
Speaker 1: to mention this, but I'm on my period, so just.
Speaker 2: What did you want it? Okay? So are you gonna
Speaker 2: be on your period while we're filming?
Speaker 1: They were union, thank goodness, No, no, okay, okay, but
Speaker 1: like think about and so for someone like me who
Speaker 1: has really rough time with their period, like your your
Speaker 1: body temperature goes up, You're you're being like you're you're
Speaker 1: You're standing there and you've got four people poking and
Speaker 1: priding and pulling on you, and I'm like starting to sweat.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god. So I'm just right now
Speaker 1: having just a shady as just weak. I did it
Speaker 1: to myself. I have no one's claimed but myself.
Speaker 2: You know what I talked to Somewhere in the initial process.
Speaker 2: I talked to Ashley and she was telling me, because
Speaker 2: she's getting her dress made, okay first of all my
Speaker 2: being made, okay, yeah, because I said, I can't do
Speaker 2: that to myself. So she was telling me the process
Speaker 2: and flying to Atlanta and coming back and forth, and
Speaker 2: I said, you know what, shesef has been through a lot.
Speaker 2: What are you going a lot for me? Okay? So
Speaker 2: what I'm not gonna do is just like stressed myself
Speaker 2: out with this. So I have my dress. I am
Speaker 2: excited about it. I have all my accessories. I have
Speaker 2: talked to cal about my hair. I am done. Oh good, good, Okay.
Speaker 2: I actually because I stopped eating sugar because of the
Speaker 2: reunion for a little while. So my body is, you know,
Speaker 2: a little smaller, and so I did ask my get
Speaker 2: me a smaller size and he was like sure. But
Speaker 2: then I was like, you know what, I don't want
Speaker 2: to be so tight in it that just like, let
Speaker 2: me just go with the bigger size and be comfortable. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you could pull it in maybe or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I could take it to my guy to have it
Speaker 2: like alter. Guess why I'm not doing that either. Right,
Speaker 2: It's a perfect fit and I'm done with it. Just
Speaker 2: don't know, I know.
Speaker 1: But this process it is like like I've had to
Speaker 1: move appointments. I was supposed to go renew my driver's license.
Speaker 1: I had to just push that into March. I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna push I'm going to
Speaker 1: reschedule that into after the reunion because because they'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: can you come at one? Can you come at four?
Speaker 1: Like and then I have you know, my kids and
Speaker 1: games and you know, I gotta look.
Speaker 2: I gotta get my hair done. I gotta get my
Speaker 2: color done. I gotta get you gotta we gotta get
Speaker 2: the hair together, got all all the nails, all of it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, why did I do this?
Speaker 1: But I'm hoping in the end it will be worth
Speaker 1: it and I'll be like, Okay, you know, I'll do
Speaker 1: it again if I need to, but.
Speaker 2: Now you'll definitely hi. Okay. So my shady moment is
Speaker 2: I think like GPS or the powers that be, the
Speaker 2: people whoever handles navigation out here, they changed the algorithm
Speaker 2: or something happened. No one can find my house anymore,
Speaker 2: like no one. It takes behind my house, so door,
Speaker 2: dash car services, everything, nobody. I have to call the people.
Speaker 2: I've got to walk them through. People are leaving at
Speaker 2: my not my neighbor's house, at a house that's on
Speaker 2: the other side, like the back of my house, Like
Speaker 2: there's a street back there. Like then they just leave
Speaker 2: my foot over there. So I'm like this, whoever changed
Speaker 2: this shit? Like change your back because no one can
Speaker 2: find you. I don't know. Let me put your address
Speaker 2: in and see what it goes to. It skips my
Speaker 2: street and it goes straight, so that make you go
Speaker 2: straight all the way down and there's houses back there,
Speaker 2: and have you looked at have you looked up the No?
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what happened. One day I was
Speaker 2: I ordered door dash for my kids. I went out,
Speaker 2: I came back and I watched the guy drive past
Speaker 2: my street and down the road. I turn my car around.
Speaker 2: I'm following him. So I'm like, dude, you pass my street.
Speaker 2: He's like, that's not what my guy. I'm not in
Speaker 2: my navigation, my navigation, so yeah, I'm gonna need to
Speaker 2: navigation gods to fix it. Okay, Well mine is telling
Speaker 2: me the right way to go. Does it tell you
Speaker 2: to turn on my street?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Huh? Turn left?
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, so I don't know what we dash and ubers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe they're using I'm maybe look up using ways. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but yeah, it's I don't know. Apple maps
Speaker 1: is fine, Okay.
Speaker 2: Another problem that I'm having because I just need to
Speaker 2: get into it because I got a lot on my
Speaker 2: I got a lot on my heart, I got a
Speaker 2: lot on my spirit. And I know that this has
Speaker 2: been discussed but by other people, by other outlets, this
Speaker 2: has been discussed so by the time y'all hear us
Speaker 2: discuss it, you know, it's a little late. We a
Speaker 2: little late to the game, and it's okay, but we
Speaker 2: need to talk about Bethany freaking Franklin. Okay, Okay, So
Speaker 2: we all know Kelly Rowland went to today's show. She
Speaker 2: wasn't happy with her accommodations. She left. Okay, Grammy winning
Speaker 2: Recording Artists of thirty years, actress, beautiful queen, Kelly Rowland,
Speaker 2: let's start there, right, Okay. Insiders say that j Lo
Speaker 2: had not vacated the real dressing room until like they
Speaker 2: put Kelly somewhere else. Kelly, I'm sorry today show a
Speaker 2: million times. She knows the difference. She knows. I had
Speaker 2: been on shows prinstance, when I was on Kelly and Mark,
Speaker 2: there was somebody coming behind me. So the producer was
Speaker 2: kind of like, and I had to change my clothes
Speaker 2: because I think I was going home, and they were
Speaker 2: kind of like they were telling me to hurry out,
Speaker 2: and I got it. I understood, Like I wasn't trying
Speaker 2: to make anybody else uncomfortable. I understand guests are coming in,
Speaker 2: they only have a certain amund dressing. They got to
Speaker 2: move people out. I get that right, So maybe j
Speaker 2: Lowe's people were not moving as fast, who knows. Not
Speaker 2: the point, Yes, Kelly came and she was not treated
Speaker 2: like queen that she should be treated. She laughed. Okay,
Speaker 2: and we know we have not heard in thirty years
Speaker 2: a diva Kelly Rowland moment, have we all? No?
Speaker 1: She seems to have a very sweet spirit, very kind,
Speaker 1: very you know, just gracious, all of that, all the things.
Speaker 2: Bethany Frankel, I was a Bethany Frankel Fanily, she said
Speaker 2: out of her mouth she was gonna get some housewives.
Speaker 2: They rolled teeth right, I'm down with you, Bethany, gone
Speaker 2: get my role. Okay, so you could this is be
Speaker 2: creational wealth. Thank you, gon' get it. But then you
Speaker 2: opened your mouth and said and you tried to compare
Speaker 2: yourself to Kelly Rowland. Right, you're saying, oh, well, when
Speaker 2: I'm on the Today Show and I hosted with Holda, like,
Speaker 2: they just gave me a Jander's closet. And I was
Speaker 2: like totally fine with that because I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: that's just how it is. That's just how it is.
Speaker 2: How dare Kelly roll look like? I mean, what are
Speaker 2: you a diva, No bething, you need to shut your
Speaker 2: f up. That's what you need to do.
Speaker 1: Great, Bethany, you're you're happy to be there. Kelly can
Speaker 1: be in LA doing something else, fabulous.
Speaker 2: She doesn't have to be there. Yeah, Kelly can be
Speaker 2: home chilling Kelly today.
Speaker 1: And even the other thing is, Bethany, you live in
Speaker 1: New York, so you probably got dressed at home and
Speaker 1: then you showed up, you know, to the studio and
Speaker 1: just you know, we're okay with a holding room or whatever.
Speaker 1: Kelly lives in LA, Like that's not her home, so
Speaker 1: she where she wants to be comfortable, and.
Speaker 2: She probably was bringing in multiple wardrobe options. She's probably
Speaker 2: was bringing in a stylist, your hair, your makeup, we
Speaker 2: know the deal. Like, give her, allow her to feel comfortable.
Speaker 2: She's hosting the hour, she's not coming in and if
Speaker 2: she's hosting the hour, So, Bethany, what you're not gonna
Speaker 2: do is ever, especially not in black history, Monde, compare
Speaker 2: yourself to a beautiful black queen called Kelly Rowland. That's
Speaker 2: what you're not gonna do. Put some respect on her name,
Speaker 2: right because it's black history, mom, So put some respect
Speaker 2: on Kelly's name.
Speaker 1: Like, why does she even find it necessary to comment
Speaker 1: on that, to even you know, talk about it. Girls,
Speaker 1: Stop worry about scanderval. Oh my god, speaking of wamen,
Speaker 1: worry about.
Speaker 2: Scandabal and worry about getting me my royalties writing Jack. Okay,
Speaker 2: work on that, and you better leave Kelly Roland as
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, you are her an apology Bethany, Right, God, absolutely,
Speaker 2: And next time you want to talk about Kelly Rowland,
Speaker 2: the beautiful queen that she is, put some makeup on.
Speaker 2: Stop coming on it. No makeup on, looking like a
Speaker 2: ghost like you look, I mean, you just look washed out,
Speaker 2: like make yourself look pretty right, I'm done, I'm done.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get at it. Okay, okay, yeah, but let's
Speaker 2: get to Tom Sandival. What in the wont one? Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, I mean talk about being Is he a narcissist?
Speaker 2: Is he out of touch?
Speaker 1: Is he is it ego that big that he compared
Speaker 1: the media attention that scanned of all got to Oj Simpson.
Speaker 2: Murdering people or the police murdering George Floyd in broad Dayly, Yes,
Speaker 2: he did compare it. He did. Like first of all, guys,
Speaker 2: I keep trying to tell you. We're still in Black
Speaker 2: History Month. Stop talking about black people. Don't bring up
Speaker 2: oh J, don't bring up George Floyd. Stop it.
Speaker 1: Well, he might have done that interview months prior before
Speaker 1: Black History Month because it was an interview. Okay, wait,
Speaker 1: I have to pause really quick. One is in a
Speaker 1: our exercise room, which is right beneath me, waking out,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what exercise he is doing, so
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is coming through on the microphone,
Speaker 1: but he can't hear anything. Oh my god, he is like, ah,
Speaker 1: why so so if y'all can hear that through my microphone?
Speaker 2: Wait, is he exercised the downstairs? Because he still hasn't
Speaker 2: been let back into the gym. Yeah, and look, if
Speaker 2: we're making these noises, he don't need to be let
Speaker 2: back in the gym, because what is he doing when
Speaker 2: he's in the gym, because he's gonna be scared people?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So so I'm not gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: be like, oh, he made this comment statement during Black
Speaker 1: History Month. I mean clearly, I'm pretty sure he doesn't
Speaker 1: know when Black History Month is, so that like, I'm
Speaker 1: not even whatever, But.
Speaker 2: How do you come pair.
Speaker 1: Scanned the ball, which was just some an affair between
Speaker 1: your you know, with your girlfriend's best friend too, the O. J.
Speaker 1: Simpson drama, and the George murder.
Speaker 2: Like which which, by the way, the George Floyd murder
Speaker 2: murder sparked the whole Black Lives Matter movement. There was
Speaker 2: millions of people protesting across the world. But you want
Speaker 2: to come there, your little cheat and scan all to
Speaker 2: that boy? Shut up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was bad. He did issue in apology.
Speaker 1: Did you see that?
Speaker 2: Oh he did? Yeah, like he put something in his story. Okay, okay, guys.
Speaker 2: I'm in a hotel and the may was knocking on
Speaker 2: the door, and you know she's gonna have to come
Speaker 2: back anyway. So I saw Tom Schwartz last night, Robin
Speaker 2: Oh and I because you know, we lumped them together.
Speaker 2: They lucked me and you together, We lumped the times together. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I felt like saying something to him, tell you that
Speaker 2: he's doing the most. And I was like, let me
Speaker 2: just let Schwartz Breathe don't he don't need all this
Speaker 2: drama in his life, and he cannot control what Sanderbal
Speaker 2: says out of his mouth exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I mean, he's probably just like like, please stop,
Speaker 1: like I don't.
Speaker 2: So he wasn't asked about it on when he was
Speaker 2: on Watch Rapps Live. I don't know. I left like
Speaker 2: he was coming in behind me. So we just chatted
Speaker 2: actually to pictures we had. We had a good old time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, well I want to see if I can
Speaker 1: see his apology. But he feels like a you know,
Speaker 1: apparently he feels like an idiot.
Speaker 2: Okay, well we can move on. We we we we're
Speaker 2: done with the Bravo world. Well, actually Bethany ain't even
Speaker 2: in the Brivo world anymore, so, but we we down.
Speaker 2: If she's able to get some residuals, she's you know, welcome. Listen, listen,
Speaker 2: stay in that lane. Bethany's staying there. Get my Housewives
Speaker 2: residual lane. Right, Okay, no more commentary on people that
Speaker 2: you have no business comparing yourself to.
Speaker 1: Right, I mean that's like it's almost like Bestiny and
Speaker 1: Tom sanderbal are kind of all on the same plane,
Speaker 1: like they really their head is super big to the
Speaker 1: point where they think they can compare themselves to two
Speaker 1: people or events that are far more significant than them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think maybe they should date each other.
Speaker 2: They're both single, they should date. That'd be nice. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think so okay, because one is downstairs grunting right now.
Speaker 2: I had a question, Yeah, because I've seen on the
Speaker 2: Insta all of these women getting their their dudes face
Speaker 2: tattooed on their face, and I'm just wondering, have you
Speaker 2: ever thought about getting Wan's face tattooed? Your face on
Speaker 2: my face on your forehead? Who did that? Chris? Chris?
Speaker 2: Ann is another girl that did it too. I think
Speaker 2: it's too They both put face on their face. Was
Speaker 2: it they both? It's another girl that put her to it?
Speaker 2: Was somebody else on her face?
Speaker 1: Hell no, These young people are are different these days,
Speaker 1: Like so different.
Speaker 2: Wan's face on your leg? Hell no, face is.
Speaker 1: Not going anywhere on my body, not putting it on
Speaker 1: my ass, I'm not putting it on.
Speaker 2: The palm, on my hands. I'm not like no, no one.
Speaker 2: So okay, right, yeah, we got it, We got ahead.
Speaker 1: One has his mother on his chest. Oh nice, nice,
Speaker 1: But it's kind of problematic when you're an intimate, So.
Speaker 2: You're really making love to his mama. What is his
Speaker 2: mom's name? Yes? Oh so you're like, what a this
Speaker 2: is terrible? Yes, it's problematic. I'm just like, like, okay,
Speaker 2: I tend to, you know, favor the other side. I'm
Speaker 2: just like, I can't or maybe he can put on
Speaker 2: like a little T shirt while y'all are getting it in,
Speaker 2: cover it up. I mean, it's been a long time.
Speaker 2: You know. It's me wanting me, want to want eat
Speaker 2: it in the bed. That is a problem. We gotta
Speaker 2: we gotta circle back to the Bravo world just for
Speaker 2: a second, because I gotta talk. We gotta talk about
Speaker 2: the fact that Porsche Willyums Go Badiya is coming back
Speaker 2: to Real Housewives of Atlanta, Like, like, tell me a
Speaker 2: show that. I mean, like Atlanta needs Porsche. I think,
Speaker 2: you know this is I think this is a great situation.
Speaker 2: I think she's gonna revive Atlanta back to its glory
Speaker 2: and I'm excited about it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I think sometimes you don't really know what
Speaker 1: you have until it's gone. And I think her absence
Speaker 1: definitely stood out because she has, you know, she brought
Speaker 1: like the comedic factor. She brought Oh my god, now
Speaker 1: he's singing, Okay, she brought.
Speaker 2: Can you hear? Yes? I can hear why whatever he's doing.
Speaker 1: Yes, singing like Kanye, So she brought like the comedic factor.
Speaker 1: She brought a silliness and a lightheartedness and I think,
Speaker 1: you know, we as viewers like definitely missed seeing that.
Speaker 1: And then she's had a lot of change in her
Speaker 1: life and so it'd be good to catch up with
Speaker 1: her and what's going on in her life and see
Speaker 1: her now. I mean, just although the top the time,
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: I know, you know, it's so crazy. I did take
Speaker 2: watch her apps live and he did it, asked me
Speaker 2: about well, we talked to about somebody all. I called
Speaker 2: in and asked me, you know, did I know Porsche's
Speaker 2: coming back and all that? And we talked about that
Speaker 2: and then he said, you know, what do you think
Speaker 2: about you know, Simon's legal troubles right now? And I
Speaker 2: was like, well, Andy, I'm not an immigration lawyer, and
Speaker 2: he was like you're not really, I mean, did you
Speaker 2: have to tell us that? I was just saying, like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, and outs of the immigration world, however,
Speaker 2: you know they are married. He's married to an American,
Speaker 2: so that got a count for something. Really okay?
Speaker 1: That was that was a very PC answer. I just
Speaker 1: think it's like so not coincidental. That she announced she's
Speaker 1: coming back and then to Atlanta and then yeah, less
Speaker 1: than a week later, maybe we see all the news
Speaker 1: about her husband's legal trouble with the immigration Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Department in law whatever. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 2: think that's a coincidence. I don't either. I think there's
Speaker 2: trolls out there that be trolling and decided to put
Speaker 2: all this out there so we don't want to.
Speaker 1: Create a storyline before they even start filming.
Speaker 2: Well, secretly, I was like thinking to myself, well, this
Speaker 2: is a produceries sweat dream like and maybe seen forces
Speaker 2: should go to an immigration lawyer's office and be like,
Speaker 2: now it's plainness to me because that was good, right,
Speaker 2: just speak in general? What does all this mean? What
Speaker 2: does this mean for me?
Speaker 1: I mean, or she could do like the typical housewife
Speaker 1: thing that we see. Oh it's a legal matter. I
Speaker 1: can't talk about it.
Speaker 2: She probably, Well, let's let's keep it real. All this
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with her, Like, this is all history?
Speaker 2: Is it a fact?
Speaker 1: That's if her husband has to be deported, then it
Speaker 1: has something to do with her. It's not you know,
Speaker 1: of course, she's not liable for anything, or she's not
Speaker 1: in trouble, but it absolutely has something to do with her.
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, well we're gonna we're gonna waste, They're gonna
Speaker 2: work down. Yeah, of course. Okay, Robin, I know that
Speaker 2: you have a tendency to be a hater. I know
Speaker 2: this already. Oh no, I'm gonna hate. I'm already hating.
Speaker 2: I'm already hating. I know what you're going to say.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say. You say it. I but wait, wait, no,
Speaker 2: I have ordered my cowboy hat. No see my belt,
Speaker 2: said my two step because doc over there. No, yes,
Speaker 2: we are no. No listen ter number one on the
Speaker 2: country charts. She is number one, which is messed up.
Speaker 2: You know why?
Speaker 1: There are other accomplished I wanna say it's messed up,
Speaker 1: but there are other It's unfortunate because there are other
Speaker 1: very successful, accomplished black female country artists that have never
Speaker 1: achieved that, and they have been in that genre for years.
Speaker 2: What's her name? They're not as they're not as good,
Speaker 2: and it's so weird like they're highly acclaimed. What's her name?
Speaker 2: Mickey Geiton? Do you know what I'm talking about? Her
Speaker 2: name not Beyon? Okay, I mean, I mean I hate it. Listen.
Speaker 1: I opened Instagram one day and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I saw all these black people wearing cowboy hats, cowboy
Speaker 1: booth and Doc Dowan all over the timeline and I said, well,
Speaker 1: I said, no, we're not doing this.
Speaker 2: We're not We're not be I comfort for me. I'm
Speaker 2: doing I'll get ready, I'm learning my two step. Do
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry? So you enjoyed the song? Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: this is Texas and you can't hold them something like that.
Speaker 2: Listen if Taylor Swift was singing it, would you enjoy
Speaker 2: the song? I don't really you know, I'm a halfway swiftye.
Speaker 2: I don't listen to all her stuff. But I'm gonna
Speaker 2: give Taylor the respect and all that we don't get
Speaker 2: to tell her in a minute. I'mna give her all the
Speaker 2: respect of liking potentially and listening to her music. What
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do, Robin Dixon, is be mad at
Speaker 2: a woman who wants to go into an industry that
Speaker 2: she has not been in before and hate on her. No,
Speaker 2: I am going to celebrate the Queen b because she
Speaker 2: has been able to knock through doors and guess what,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be other black women that are able to
Speaker 2: come behind her. Thank you, Beyonce, Thank you. Now, I
Speaker 2: am not hating on Beyonce.
Speaker 1: I'm actually hating on all of the people who, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden are country music fans and their docy
Speaker 1: dowing with their cowboy hats and the cowboys no boots,
Speaker 1: knowing they don't like country music.
Speaker 2: Okay, just stop stop pretending. Stop pretending st I'm saying,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I love this song. It's so great,
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, just stop like Okay, if Beyonce
Speaker 2: wants to make country music, it's understandable. Number one, she's
Speaker 2: from Texas. It isn't her roots. I get it.
Speaker 1: But just because she's making country music, that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: I'm going to listen to her country music.
Speaker 2: Okay, moving on now that you brought up Taylor, so
Speaker 2: you know everybody saw the nonsense that. Let me tell
Speaker 2: this man to be quiet. Hold on my second. Okay, geez,
Speaker 2: are you texting him? Do you mind whispering your your song?
Speaker 2: Because we're recording a podcast right now and I can
Speaker 2: hear everything.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, a you sound very good, but okay, all right,
Speaker 1: thank you?
Speaker 2: All right, So you know Taylor Swift did not go
Speaker 2: to the Kansas parade, which turned into unfortunately, it turned
Speaker 2: into madness and people and shooting. One lady got lost
Speaker 2: her life and that's really say in reprinch for our family.
Speaker 2: But Taylor donated money to the victims. So kudos to Taylor,
Speaker 2: Kudos to Travis. I hope they make it. I do
Speaker 2: want to talk about the fact that if this were
Speaker 2: in Baltimore and this happened after the Ravens won the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, how fast would they have called the National Guard?
Speaker 2: I'm just saying how fast? Okay, I'm like, what what, what?
Speaker 2: What would Taylor I have to do with it? If
Speaker 2: it was in Baltimore, I got that moved away from Kansas. Okay,
Speaker 2: they were the National Guard in fourteen seconds. Well, the
Speaker 2: national Guard would have already been there waiting, so we
Speaker 2: would have been like, we're here, We're ready. And I
Speaker 2: keep saying, this is Black History Month. Leave us alowed,
Speaker 2: Leave us allowed. I know. I am actually super happy
Speaker 2: for Travis and Taylor because with all the scrutiny and
Speaker 2: the pressure that they're getting that we know that they're
Speaker 2: getting right, they still seem to be able to like
Speaker 2: make it and make it about themselves as opposed to
Speaker 2: the outside noise. Yeah, so it's hard to do.
Speaker 1: I wonder how much she blocks outside noise out because
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, he has a podcast with
Speaker 1: his brother and they talk about the attention and you know,
Speaker 1: all of this stuff, and so clearly he's aware of
Speaker 1: the outside noise. But I wonder if, you know, being
Speaker 1: someone like Taylor, if she has to kind of exist
Speaker 1: in a bubble a little bit, you know, well.
Speaker 2: I think she's used to it, right, so she knows
Speaker 2: how to navigate her world around it. And I think
Speaker 2: that what Travis didn't understand was that world. He understands
Speaker 2: it now because he's in that. He had to move
Speaker 2: out of brand new house the day after he moved
Speaker 2: in there, Like how crazy is that? But I think
Speaker 2: that there's a respect there because, you know, like any
Speaker 2: man who sees like, wow, you really have to the
Speaker 2: star power, yeah, and what comes along with that. I
Speaker 2: think he has a lot of respect for her, And
Speaker 2: I think that I think that it takes a man
Speaker 2: like a Travis to understand a tailor swept. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's along for the ride. I
Speaker 1: think he's enjoying the ride. And enjoying attention, but not
Speaker 1: in a thirsty type of way. I mean, because he
Speaker 1: clearly has his own career and can get almost any
Speaker 1: woman he wants. So but I think he's I think
Speaker 1: that's a very unique experience to be dating a megastar.
Speaker 1: And you know, I just want to say, I know,
Speaker 1: I've kind of talked about tailor shift, like I don't
Speaker 1: where I don't understand hype because I don't really know
Speaker 1: her music and all.
Speaker 2: Of that, and I've kind of figured it out.
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, I think, you know, she appeals to
Speaker 1: most of America. You know, she when people when most
Speaker 1: of America looks at her, they they can relate to her.
Speaker 1: She's you know, because she's not over the top glamorous.
Speaker 1: She seems self deprecating or she seems humble, and I
Speaker 1: think that's what people see, Like they look at her
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, that's like you know, my little sister,
Speaker 1: my big sister, my daughter, whatever, and that really appeals
Speaker 1: to them. That's that's kind of what I have taken
Speaker 1: away from this whole situation because at first, I don't
Speaker 1: understand I don't understand the hype, the attention. Why we
Speaker 1: care why we have to see her fifty times.
Speaker 2: You know when we're rocking the game. But I get it.
Speaker 2: It's it's she appeals to what most of America looks like,
Speaker 2: you right, And she's like most of Middle America. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like she's middle of America girl next door. And I
Speaker 2: think there's something to be said. And I from what
Speaker 2: I understanding, she has like written all of her music,
Speaker 2: you know, all of her stories are very relatable to
Speaker 2: her demographic. Yeah, I mean I get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she started in country music, which is like the
Speaker 1: biggest genre in America.
Speaker 2: Oh, so she could go from country to pop, but
Speaker 2: Beyonce can't go from from Pop's country really really robbing.
Speaker 2: So we're doing.
Speaker 1: Listen, do I listen to tails? Am I all of
Speaker 1: a sudden listening to Taylor Swift? No, it worked for her,
Speaker 1: so I guess it can work for Beyonce. But I'm
Speaker 1: just saying all of the yes, anyone that all of
Speaker 1: a sudden is interested in country music, is y'all lying?
Speaker 1: And you say a phony? Okay stop. I always felt
Speaker 1: like j Loo would dude did like so much, you know,
Speaker 1: in her business entertainment, she would she would always have
Speaker 1: a movie coming out, she has albums coming out, she
Speaker 1: does fashion, she does you know, all her little her
Speaker 1: products that she pushes. She would be a judge on
Speaker 1: whatever the dam so all of you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: She like always just was doing so much and it
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, how are you doing so much?
Speaker 1: Like Beyonce is is up there with j Loo as
Speaker 1: far as how do you have time to do all this?
Speaker 1: How do you just how do you go on a
Speaker 1: whole world tour and shortly after, you know, and you're
Speaker 1: making country music?
Speaker 2: Why clearly had.
Speaker 1: To have been making it while she's on tour or
Speaker 1: preparing for it. You're developing a hair care line. I
Speaker 1: mean it's yeah, I can't wait. Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: a lot, and I'm like wow, And it just makes
Speaker 1: me question like when is enough enough for those people?
Speaker 1: Like what do they want? Like what does Beyonce want
Speaker 1: out of this hair Caro line?
Speaker 2: Why do they have to stop? Why do they have to.
Speaker 1: They they don't, but I'm just wondering, like what makes
Speaker 1: them I would just think, Okay, you're on a world tour,
Speaker 1: you got all this music going on, Like how do
Speaker 1: you have time to do?
Speaker 2: Because they get off your couch, a hair caroline off
Speaker 2: their couch? Where is their couch time where they don't
Speaker 2: need gout dying? Okay, they don't need gout dying, But
Speaker 2: that's just that that worries me. I'm just like, how
Speaker 2: do you not like, where's your quiet time? Where's your
Speaker 2: talk to yourself? Okay, well, I'm sure she gets I'm
Speaker 2: sure she gets it in, but like I don't for Beyonce.
Speaker 2: I don't ever want her to be limited limited to
Speaker 2: enough is enough? When is enough? Enough? Enough is enough?
Speaker 2: What she says? It is like I want her to
Speaker 2: live out all your dreams. If you, if you, if
Speaker 2: one of your dreams is a hair caroline girl, do it?
Speaker 2: If one of your dreams to chart on country music girl,
Speaker 2: do it? Like I think that we should not limit ourselves.
Speaker 2: We should be able to do all. No, I don't
Speaker 2: think anyone should limit. It's just very impressive.
Speaker 1: I've always been extremely impressed with j Low and her
Speaker 1: work ethic and how she stays busy.
Speaker 2: And now I feel.
Speaker 1: Like like Beyonce is like on her heels with that yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then the hair Caroline. I'm like, hmmm, do people
Speaker 1: look at like what Rihanna has been able to do
Speaker 1: with Fenty, and Sure are thinking like, Okay, I want
Speaker 1: something that I can segue, you know, like if I
Speaker 1: decide to give up music, I have this hair Caroline,
Speaker 1: which I think I'm interested in seeing the products.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I definitely want to use it, try it,
Speaker 2: be all up in it. I think that Fenty isn't
Speaker 2: inspiring for sure. Like, you know, if Rihanna wants to
Speaker 2: touch music again, she will because she wants to, not
Speaker 2: because she has to because she needs to write.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if Beyonce's hair hairline is successful, that's something you can,
Speaker 1: you know, create generational wealth for your family. Not that
Speaker 1: her family doesn't have generational wealth, but like that's something
Speaker 1: that her children could choose to work for if they
Speaker 1: don't have interest in being a musician or they don't
Speaker 1: have a talent. Like you're setting up an actual business
Speaker 1: that your children can work for and take over and
Speaker 1: run and all of that type of stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: I do want to say, remember the last time we
Speaker 1: talked about Beyonce's hair CareLine, I was saying like, Okay, I.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not hating on.
Speaker 1: The hair CareLine, but it's like, let's see your natural
Speaker 1: hair a little bit more so that.
Speaker 2: Listen, I'll let you and Beyonce sit and talk, because
Speaker 2: Beyonce is I'm just saying.
Speaker 1: I know that Beyonce has beautiful hair. And so what
Speaker 1: I'm saying is, if you're promoting a hair Caroline because
Speaker 1: these products or these formulations have worked on your hair,
Speaker 1: well let us see it. And she she hurt me.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yes, right. So she did a magazine spread
Speaker 1: and there's a few astures where we can see her
Speaker 1: her beautiful natural hair. And then I thought, like, while
Speaker 1: you're promoting this country album her, she should wear her
Speaker 1: natural hair.
Speaker 2: Like her curls. Maybe she might her curl.
Speaker 1: Fit the natural country music look in all of that,
Speaker 1: Throw your cowboy hat on top of your long, beautiful curls,
Speaker 1: natural curls, and then.
Speaker 2: It makes sense. Give her a beat, just give her
Speaker 2: a minute.
Speaker 1: All this judgment, all this judgment, I'm not judging. I'm
Speaker 1: not judging. I'm just saying it would be nice, Okay,
Speaker 1: if you want to promote your hair, Caroline, it would
Speaker 1: be nice for us to see your beautiful natural hair.
Speaker 2: How is that hating? Okay, that's not hating. Okay, we're
Speaker 2: moving on one more things.
Speaker 1: She a party like a launch party recently, and I
Speaker 1: believe she she took that platinum wig off, thankfully, and
Speaker 1: she wore her natural hair.
Speaker 2: Yes, she did for Robin. She did it for Robin. Yeah,
Speaker 2: to prove me, to prove me right. Okay. So there's
Speaker 2: a company in China that's making its workers run two
Speaker 2: miles every day if they want to get a bonus,
Speaker 2: a better bonus. Okay, two miles a day. So I
Speaker 2: was thinking that we should implement that in the Real Housewives.
Speaker 2: Before before we get a microphone put on our back, right,
Speaker 2: we get miked up, we should run two miles. Why.
Speaker 2: I think we'd have better conversations with each other. No,
Speaker 2: we would not. We'd be mad because we sweated our
Speaker 2: hair out. What that's That's what I mean. But we
Speaker 2: we would have better conversations. We'd be like, Okay, we
Speaker 2: got to have a real conversation because I'm tired and
Speaker 2: I'm thirsty, and my hair looked grace and my makeup
Speaker 2: has run down my face. Can you imagine that would
Speaker 2: be good? Or at least we could do like we
Speaker 2: call them saying like orange theory, like we could do it.
Speaker 2: You insane? If they said to me, Giselle, you're gonna
Speaker 2: get like a million bonus if you just run. Well,
Speaker 2: you're two miles before every scene. You know how fast
Speaker 2: I have you running down the street. Yes, okay, if
Speaker 2: they say that, if then we're gonna get a bonus
Speaker 2: for running two miles. They're getting bonuses because they running okay,
Speaker 2: and we will all be physically fit. I'm down for it.
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell that to the powers that be
Speaker 2: a mile for every bonus million? Okay? Why why is
Speaker 2: the so? Because in China they want their employees to
Speaker 2: be healthy, more mentally and physically fit. I'm here for
Speaker 2: sometimes I'd be talking to these to these ladies on
Speaker 2: the show, and their their mind is not is not
Speaker 2: is not clicking where my mind is. So I just don't.
Speaker 2: I don't need for y'all to get you know, you're mine, right, okay?
Speaker 2: All right, Well you you present that to them and
Speaker 2: see what they say. I promise you it would make
Speaker 2: me a stop lying because yes, mister, she we would
Speaker 2: have to run the lot of her okay, oh my god,
Speaker 2: she would have forgotten it, she would have gotten all
Speaker 2: of it. We love you here, We love you all right,
Speaker 2: We got to get out of here because like we yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: we gotta get out of here. We love y'all o much.
