And 168 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: I actually think she's a Really she's by far the 169 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: most politically savvy person on that show, at least when 170 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: I worked there, and I love that about her. Yes, 171 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: and extremely like curious in a way that I didn't 172 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: find anyone else I worked with like curious just about 173 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,239 Speaker 1: different aspects of politics. And I too found that politicians 174 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: that came on always wanted to definitely have a question 175 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: with me and her, So your instincts on that were 176 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: my instincts on that as well, And she's also the 177 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: only cast On and Brice still have a relationship with 178 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: or whatever that's for. 179 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 2: So you guys are still friends. 180 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: And did you guys see each other at the White 181 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 3: House Correspondence dinner. 182 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: We didn't, But it was my fault because I don't 183 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: love that dinner and I was like talked into it. 184 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: And it's so I don't mean to sound like an 185 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: asshole being like, oh it was directed this black tight dinner. 186 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: But I actually didn't know she was going. So had 187 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: she I known she was going, traditionally the view women 188 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: didn't go. Had I known she was going, I would 189 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: have texted her. And then afterward I was like, oh, 190 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: should I missed her? But yeah, like I was actually 191 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: messaging her about like a month ago about some like 192 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: very personal stuff about motherhood, and I have like such 193 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: love for her and I respect her and like do 194 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: we talk every day? No, But if she were like 195 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: walking into the kitchen right now, I would like hug 196 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: her and want to talk to her for like a 197 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: few hours. So yeah, she's a really good person and 198 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: she didn't demonize me the way a lot of other 199 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: people did. Whatever that's worth, you. 200 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 2: Know what the view to me is like the Real Housewives. 201 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is it is strong 202 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 3: women who have an opinion. You sit at a table, 203 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 3: So for the Housewives fans, it's like sitting at a 204 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 3: dinner table and you have to address each other in 205 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 3: your view. And it really is about friendships. And I 206 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 3: really did love the friendship you and Sonny had. I 207 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 3: love obviously the mentorship that would be gay to you 208 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 3: and how that was at that point. Obviously is no 209 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 3: secret that unfortunately you and Whoopee probably don't have the 210 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 3: same relationship like you had when you first entered it 211 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: four years ago. When you look back on your time 212 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: on that show, is that probably the most saddest thing. 213 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: That you left, you know, will be is an American icon, 214 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: and she's sort of omnipresent in our culture and in 215 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: like everybody loves her. Like people even like the most 216 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: conservative politicians that would come on the show would want 217 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: to meet her and be starstruck and like kiss her 218 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: ass that like want to talk about whatever movies or 219 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: you know, shows she had been on that they had watched. 220 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: And I will never you know, disrespect her or be 221 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: negative towards her. You know, I think I think my 222 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: experience on the show suffered a lot. With COVID and ZOOM, 223 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: I think it's a lot easier to hate someone through 224 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: a box and through a screen and to not understand 225 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: where they're coming from. I was really pregnant during COVID. 226 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: It was really scary. I was living, you know, so 227 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: removed from everyone, and then I had really bad postpartum 228 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: depression and anxiety and I was like drowning and just 229 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: trying to like get my bearings. And I've said this, 230 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: I just didn't feel supported in the way that I 231 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: had hoped when I came back, and I just felt 232 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: like people can't support you when you're struggling in this 233 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: kind of a way, then what's the point. And I 234 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: can't fake the funk, Like I'm not a bullshitter, I'm 235 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: I can't. There are amazing people that can go on 236 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: camera and they'll fucking lie to you and pretend to 237 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: be someone else and like they're they're brilliant at it, 238 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people who make very very 239 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: nice livings doing that. I'm not that bitch for you 240 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: at all, like at all, wrong woman, And I couldn't 241 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: fake it, and I felt like I really felt like 242 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: my time had come to an end. But I don't 243 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: have like I don't feel like anger or hyper negativity 244 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: or anything. I just feel like it's like a chapter 245 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: in my life that was complicated and it was really 246 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: beautiful in the beginning and it turned out not so 247 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: beautiful at the end, but that it was co hosting 248 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: a very popular TV show, like no one feels bad 249 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: for me, and I don't feel bad for me, and 250 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: I wish all of them like truly the best. 251 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 3: You're so missed by the fans of the show who 252 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 3: enjoys good television. 253 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: I adore that. 254 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 3: You found yourself and your daughter, and you found yourself 255 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 3: in being a white life, and you found yourself choosing 256 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: happiness over you know the purpose of what that show brought, 257 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 3: And now that you're able to focus on that, you 258 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 3: seem to be so much more at peace, which is 259 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: why I'm like, well, good, we ain't heard it to 260 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 3: DM all the time.

No? 264 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: And in fact, we've been pitched that like several times 265 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: by several networks and one very very hard, Like one 266 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: network in particular was like name your price, and I 267 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: was like, I will die because Ben and I are 268 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: like when we disagree politically, which we have a lot, 269 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: we're not like despite with some people's on Twitter like 270 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: he's much more conservative than I am. And the idea 271 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: of having to like, as you know, produce a show 272 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: with someone, go on here with someone and then go 273 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: home and then like separate it, it's just not possible. And 274 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm not going on TV with that at all. It's 275 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: like my nod it's like my idea of the hell, 276 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: you know. I was on TV for a lot. I 277 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: co hosted a show, a daily show on Fox, and 278 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: then I co hosted a show on a network Nobody 279 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: Saw with Jacob sober Off. And I did a daily 280 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: radio show for three hours a day, all of these 281 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: for years since I was like twenty six years old 282 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: and I'm thirty seven now, so I've been on air 283 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: a long time, and I know that there are some 284 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: people that like they have to be on camera, like 285 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: so much of their value in life is defined by 286 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: how much airtime they get. And I think it's like 287 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: a very sad part of the industry. But I don't 288 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: miss it. I have been offered things and I just 289 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: nothing feels right, nothing feels perfect, And I think I 290 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: would have to be in a situation. Ay, I'm never 291 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: going to do anything again where it's not fun, because 292 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: TV and doing like podcasts and things like this, If 293 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: it's not fun, there's no point, especially like post COVID 294 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: And I was not having fun the last season of 295 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: The View at all, like it was. It was not 296 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: a fun experience. And I think television, even when you're 297 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: talking about politics, should still have like levity in it. 298 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know, I don't miss is that weird? 299 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: Like The View like was such an apex, you know, 300 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: it was number one and one in Emmy and we 301 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: were on the cover of the New York Times magazine. 302 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know where you go from there. 303 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: You are nominated for Amy right now, so congratulations. 304 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: It's so weird. Thank you. It's so weird. I was like, 305 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: if we all win together, it's going to be very strange. 306 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 2: Are you going to the Ammy's Megan? 307 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely not, No, thank you very much. I don't like 308 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff anyway. And also it's uncomfortable, you know, 309 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: I just don't like it. It's very sad. I don't. 310 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: But I am one woman and they are four or 311 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: five five now, I don't remember. And because Sarah came 312 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: in like halfway through the last season, and you know, 313 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: at a certain point, I think anytime for me, like 314 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: anytime there's any kind of like show or anyone in 315 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: politics where everyone is just piling onto one person, my 316 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: automatic instinct through my experiences is like, well, what are 317 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: what are they doing? As well like why are you 318 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: targeting one person? And I just you know, I don't 319 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: want to be in any situations in life right now 320 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: as much as I can where I'm uncomfortable and not 321 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: kind of a space. So no, I will not be 322 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: quick to the I means it's very weird for me 323 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: to be dominated with them now. I didn't even I 324 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: don't even really get it. 325 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: Well, I help you win, thank you. Well, No, I 326 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: think it has to do with the timeline. 327 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: I mean, listen, it feels like you've been off the 328 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: air for years, and I don't think people understand that 329 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 3: it hasn't been that long. In addition to the fact 330 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 3: that your seat is hard to feel, and I think 331 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: that's why we watched well I'll say I when I 332 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: watched the show now, it's hard to feel that seat 333 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 3: because it takes a strong woman to go up against 334 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 3: a sunny Hostin and to go up against a Joy Bahart, 335 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 3: and what you brought there was an element of pop culture. 336 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: You watch reality TV, you love drag queens. And before I. 337 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 3: Move on away from the because we have so much 338 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 3: more to talk about, the best moment of the view 339 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 3: to me while you were on is when you shared 340 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 3: on camera that during the Black Lives Matter moment, you 341 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 3: talked to Sonny and you wanted Sonny to educate you 342 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 3: on what was going on in the world and to 343 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 3: have a better understanding about how a privileged white woman 344 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: can really help out the African American community and to 345 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 3: sort of see like where your privileged lied. 346 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: And when you. 347 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 3: Share that, I thought that was so sweet and it 348 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 3: really did show the friendship that you and Sonny had. 349 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 3: In addition to the fact I remember when Alec Baldwin's wife, 350 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 3: who faked that she was Spanish, was on the cover 351 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 3: of a Spanish magazine. Joy Behart and Sarah Hanks thought 352 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 3: it was the funniest thing where you and Sonny Hostin 353 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: both said no this is wrong. She's taking a moment 354 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 3: away from a born and bred Latina woman, and you 355 00:17:59,480 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 3: got it. 356 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: To stand the privilege. 357 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 3: So when people say things like Megan's a bit, she's racist, 358 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 3: she's a homophoone, she's a concerned I'm like, you, guys, 359 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: don't watch the show because she's none of those things, 360 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 3: and I wish people focus more on on that. 361 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: Well, thank you for saying that. I remember both of 362 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: those instances. The summer of the George Floyd you know, murder, 363 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: and obviously all the social unrest that happened afterward was 364 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: a complicated time to be on air. And I specifically 365 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: remember when his murder happened, and then we had a 366 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: long weekend and we had a spring break. I don't 367 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: remember which one if it was like get a week 368 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: off or we had four days off. But I talked 369 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: to Sunny because A we are friends, and B whomever 370 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: ends up working on that show, she's a great resource 371 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: just for a conversations, to have pre conversations before the show. 372 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: Some hosts don't like doing that where they don't want 373 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: to talk beforehand because they think it like save it 374 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: for a camera. She's not like that, Like I spent 375 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: a lot of time in her dressing room, just like 376 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 1: talking different a lots of different things out beforehand. So 377 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: she was very gracious and I want to know her 378 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: opinion because she is good. She got her start in 379 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: that space. That's how she originally started out on CNN, 380 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: was doing you know, commentary in that space. And then 381 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: I talked to Senator Tim Scott because he had spoken 382 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: out about it, and he told me a very hard 383 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: story about him learning as a young child to put 384 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: his hands and I'm going to butcher this, so excuse me, 385 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: but putting his hands on the steering wheel in a 386 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: certain position, so when he was pulled over by police officers, 387 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: it made sure that they could see his hands. And 388 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: then he told me that he had been pulled over, 389 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: and again he's a center from South Carolina. He had 390 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: been pulled over. It was something insane like twelve times 391 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: in the past year. And I remember having those two 392 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: conversations and it really helping illuminated, you know what I 393 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: wanted to say, because there are times in life and 394 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: on television where you just need to listen where it's 395 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: not about talking. Because and I always think when someone 396 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: is in extreme pain, when there's a group of people 397 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: that are angry and upset and god forbid, feel that 398 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: there is nothing else that they can do except resort 399 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: to violence because people are not hearing them. Shut up 400 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: and listen to what they have to say, period And 401 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: that was one of those moments where I just felt 402 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: like it was the most important for me to hear 403 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: because I wasn't fully understand. Now I do, but at 404 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: the time I didn't fully understand everything. And then I 405 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: think you have to take moments to educate yourself in 406 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: life in general, but I think particularly when you have 407 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: the responsibility of being on television. And I remember the 408 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: Hilario Baldwin thing. There were a lot of moments like 409 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: that on the show where you know, I don't like 410 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: Hilario Baldwin, none of it is my vibe at all 411 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: in general before the scandal, and then I think cultural 412 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: appropriation is such a big issue right now. And again 413 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: she was taking space on television, in media, on magazine 414 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: covers from Hispanic and Latino women who just aren't represented 415 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: and the way that they should be. And you know, 416 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: I don't know this stat's off the top of my head, 417 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: but I do know that like the representation of white 418 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: women versus Hispanic and African American women and Asian women 419 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: is much less, so I don't I never liked any 420 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: of it, and I do think there was sort of 421 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: That's what's tricky about daytime TV specifically. The view is 422 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: like sometimes people just it's so heavy, they just wanted 423 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: to make a joke, and I never wanted to make 424 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: a joke. And Sonny to her doesn't really do that either, 425 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: at least when I was on, And yeah, I remember that. 426 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: And I still don't think there's anything funny about Hilarry Baldwin. 427 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: I still don't think she should like I don't think 428 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: she'd be like railroaded out of life. But I think 429 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: we forget too easily this like very bizarre way that 430 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: she has presented herself to the world, like because she 431 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: was from Spain. 432 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 2: Stay tuned for more of my conversation with Megan. 433 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 3: We'll be right back after some quick ads. This is 434 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 3: Reality with the King and I'm carlinos King. Let's get 435 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 3: back into my conversation with Meghan. I was mad last 436 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 3: week when this a hole went on Twitter to talk 437 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 3: crap about you. 438 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 2: And let's go for the record. You have a book 439 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 2: called bab Republican. 440 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 3: One thing I know about people, Megan, the truth doesn't 441 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 3: get as much pressed as a lie. So because I 442 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 3: follow you on social media, I already knew you had 443 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 3: the Audible version of this book for months, if not 444 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 3: a year before the book was released, and it had 445 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 3: a lot of great reviews. So when people started making 446 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 3: jokes like, oh, her book only sold two hundred copies, 447 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 3: is like, guys, she had an exclusive deal with Audible 448 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 3: and it became popular to use that to diminish you. 449 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 3: And then this a hole decided to say these crazy 450 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 3: things about you. Oh, I kicked her off of her 451 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 3: father's jack use. She was being a brat, Like why 452 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 3: is this man attacking this woman in this way? 453 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 2: Like how did you feel when that was going on? 454 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: I mean, I told you yesterday, like it's been a 455 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 1: very taxing time, but I'm tough. I really have like 456 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: skin like rawhide. At this point, the book thing has 457 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: been range just because it came out seven months ago, 458 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: and I actually had, like you said, I had an 459 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: exclusive contract with Audible where I couldn't put anything out 460 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: in print until after six months. And it was actually 461 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: intended to be just like a verbal like a podcast 462 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: and like a story, and I really enjoyed recording it, 463 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: and you know it, I actually am not one of 464 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: these people that gets really caught up on like sales 465 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: and numbers and ratings to a point like it matters, 466 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: but it like it doesn't keep me up at night. 467 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: And they did very well. When I first came out, 468 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: it was like number two behind Dave Grohld's book for 469 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: first two weeks, and then I think it was like 470 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: number three for the first two months. And you know, 471 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: I was very happy with it. My publisher was very 472 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: happy with it, my eder was very happy with it. 473 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: And then I had an independent bookstore come to me, 474 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: say do you want to do like a very small 475 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: printing for people who don't didn't want to listen to it? 476 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: And there's some people as you know, that like having 477 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: physical books in their home and I was like, sure, great, whatever. 478 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: You know, I was like, I don't want to do 479 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: a big press thing just because a I don't want 480 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: to continue talking about the view stuff forever and be 481 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: like it has seven months ago. And it came out 482 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: and I just did a few things and then it 483 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: came out and it you know, didn't sell like you know, 484 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: Gangbusters and it was like trending on Twitter for a 485 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: long time. And again I'm I'm okay. I'm like, I'm 486 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: the most blessed person in the world. I have a 487 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,239 Speaker 1: wonderful life and I'm very happy. As a generalization, I 488 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: don't love bullying towards anyone, and I have some of 489 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: my closest friends I actually like started friendships with people 490 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: because they have been at the at the other side 491 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: of social media insanity. And I think it's the I 492 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: think for women in particular, it gets very personal and 493 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: it tends to be very violent as well, and that's 494 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: just hard for people that love me and like my family. 495 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: But I don't know, it's going to blow It kind 496 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: of has blown over. It's going to continue to blow over. 497 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: And if people want to be like, oh Meg, I'm 498 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: such a loser. Everybody hates her and they don't like her, 499 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,719 Speaker 1: what can I do about that. I feel really good 500 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: about the way the Audible did. 501 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 3: It's crazy to me because at the end of the day, 502 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 3: you know you're an accomplished woman, Megan, You're just getting started. 503 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 3: In terms of what the future holds for you. I 504 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 3: do see a podcast in your future. I do see 505 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 3: something I really do because me and the people who 506 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 3: love you on the view, we miss your point of view. 507 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 3: And what's interesting is we always will look back and say, oh, 508 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 3: I never looked at it that way. That's a very 509 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 3: interesting take. So we want more of your takes on that. 510 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 3: But I want your take on the Real Housewives of 511 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 3: Beverly Hills premiere. 512 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 2: Did you watch it? 513 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: Yes, of course, obviously I watched it. 514 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: What did you think about that premiere? Megan? 515 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: So, I'm really happy it's back, and I think I 516 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: read on your Twitter that it did very well, like 517 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: ratings wise, like it did hire. I think this premiere 518 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: than last season, is that correct? 519 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 3: This premiere did one point one four or five million 520 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 3: last year? Did I think like zero point nine four 521 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 3: nine or something like that? And obviously it has now 522 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 3: become at least right now Bravos highest rated housewives, which 523 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 3: when I tweeted that, I said, I'm going to talk 524 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 3: about this on my podcast because obviously the biggest controversy 525 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 3: right now is the fact that, you know, Atlanta Housewives 526 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 3: ratings weren't as great as Belly Hills, and people are 527 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 3: debating that. What I wanted to talk to you about 528 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 3: was more so like your thoughts about Belly Hills and 529 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 3: if you even caught the Atlanta premiere. 530 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: I have not watched Atlanta, and this is very controversial, 531 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: like very maybe the most controversial thing I'm going to 532 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: say on your podcast. I really was a huge Nany fan, 533 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: and I know she's like, it's very messy, and she's 534 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: like suing Bravo, and I've read that she's like, I 535 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: think actually suing Andy Cohen as well. I thought she 536 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: and Kim Zulziak really made that show. So I watched 537 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: it up until last season and then it started kind 538 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: of like losing me and I need to watch it. 539 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: I actually watched Beverly Hills just because I knew we 540 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: were going to like talk about it. I know, Marlowe 541 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: got a peach, which I'm really happy about. And I 542 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: love Candy, like I watched with is it Balero the 543 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: like stripper scene like that? Yes, And I love Phaedra 544 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: and I think that, like I don't know, for some reason, 545 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: it wasn't gelling in the way that it used to 546 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: because Atlanta is like one of the most iconic as 547 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, I mean what you produced it for what 548 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: eight years? I mean, yeah, you're big you want to 549 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: talk about me at the view, You're a huge reason, 550 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: probably not the reason that show became so iconic, and 551 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: I do think that, like they need to mix it 552 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: up a little bit. And there was actually a cast 553 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: member that I was a fan of. I really liked 554 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: Eva a lot, and I was like kind of following 555 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: her journey, and I was really pissed that she wasn't 556 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: included in the next season. And I really liked her 557 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: husband and I thought he was interesting he like ran 558 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: for mayor, and I was like, they need to explore 559 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: like his politics, his political career, like her being a 560 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: new mom. Like I really liked her, and I was 561 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: really sad that she wasn't invited back. So I feel 562 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: like I get so invested in these people that like 563 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: I think it's probably a lot like daytime TV, but 564 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: it's a lot of consistent change. And I like my 565 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: people that I had for a while, and I think 566 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: Candy's carrying it like she has for a long I 567 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: think Candy is like one of the greatest reality TV 568 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: stars of all time, and you know, an absolute like 569 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: genius when it comes to like her business and music, 570 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: and she's kind of like a like goals for so 571 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: many people. I don't know how the hell she does 572 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: it with so many things in there. But yeah, but 573 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: I it's not like I am going to watch it, 574 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: but I kind of want to binge it, so I'm 575 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: gonna wait. 576 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 577 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 3: I caught the first episode and me and Dave Quinn, 578 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 3: who you know as well, Dave Quinn from People Magazine. 579 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 3: He's a huge Meggan McCain fan as well. We did 580 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 3: a review on the premiere and I gave the premiere 581 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 3: B plus. It was a great premiere. We watched the 582 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 3: second episode and the second episode wasn't as interesting. And 583 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 3: one thing I did say about Atlanta is the glory 584 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 3: days are gone. And that's what I'm hearing as you're 585 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 3: talking about the days of Nieni, Kim Zosiak, you know Faedra, 586 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 3: you know the Kenny Kenya. 587 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? 588 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 3: Like that, that organic friendship is missing too. Yes, it 589 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 3: is missing the organic days. And the reason why I 590 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 3: wanted to talk about Billy Hills to you is because 591 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 3: what they did so perfectly is the casting of that show, 592 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, Kyle Richards is 593 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 3: the face of the Belly Hills franchise. And although she's 594 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 3: the longest running OG on that show, is the organic 595 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 3: friendship she has with these people that aren't all new 596 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 3: Garsel is a great addition to that show. 597 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 2: I think she magnificent. 598 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 3: She I love Garcel Bubat and I look at that 599 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 3: and I compare that to Atlanta And at the end 600 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 3: of the day, Mimi Leaks will. 601 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 2: Always be the face of Atlanta Housewives. 602 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and what you and I both agree on is 603 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 3: the missing element of the organic relationships. 604 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: And I'm with you with Eva. I thought Eva was 605 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 2: fired too soon. 606 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 3: And what bothers me is I think sometimes people make 607 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 3: casting decisions based on what they see on Twitter, and 608 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 3: Twitter is not the real world. 609 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: Isn't that the truth? Yeah? I just thought Eva was 610 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: like she was the one that I like, really, I 611 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: don't know. I was like just such a fan and 612 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: I think she's like one of the most stunningly gorgeous 613 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: women ever on that show. I liked Cynthia. I just 614 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: feel like, if you can do like an OG cast 615 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: or even just bring back a few ogs, I will 616 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: probably be more invested. And again, like, I really like Kenya. 617 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: I know people don't, but I liked her too. I 618 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: actually like found like there's it was so raw and real, 619 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: like when you saw was her ex boyfriend named Matthew, 620 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: like when he came over to her house, Mark, excuse me, 621 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: when he came over to her house and like bashed 622 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: in her windows And you're like, like. 623 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: So wrong, I'm wrong. You're right. It was matt who 624 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: bashed through her door. Yes, matt uh huh. 625 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: And remember when he like he was so abusive to her, 626 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: and it was so hard and so raw. And this 627 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: is like a former Miss USA beauty queen who's you know, 628 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: also just like gorgeously stunning woman. And you see this 629 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: like raw, palpable, intense pain, like she went through so 630 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: much and she was like putting it out there. And 631 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: so I don't know, I really liked Atlanta. I will 632 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: I will watch this season. I just haven't yet because 633 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: I've been I've ben actually watching a few other shows 634 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: and then OC just ended and we have Beverly Hills again. 635 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: These franchises, I don't know if I think I'm like 636 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people and like you obviously like you 637 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: become connected to these people you root for who you 638 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: root for. I think that they have become really important 639 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: figures in pop culture. For different reasons. I think a 640 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: lot of times what's happening in America is really reflected 641 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: on the Housewives in a lot of different ways and 642 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: how they deal with life. And if it's too produced 643 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: and too saturated, that's when I stopped watching it and 644 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: I don't like it. And I felt like the OC 645 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: this season was like ostensibly an infomercial for Heather, and 646 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: I didn't it just is like, it's fantastic that she 647 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: has a she does, she's a beautiful home, a beautiful family. 648 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: They all seem amazing. But you know, it didn't. I 649 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: didn't find it as as like compelling. I didn't find 650 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: a compelling television at all. Sorry, and I love Oz, 651 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: I really root for it too. 652 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: Wow, the season sucked. It's okay to say it's fine. Listen. 653 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: I think it's okay to be honest. 654 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 3: And what's interesting is we live in a world right 655 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 3: now where you can't even just be honest. OHC sucked. 656 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 3: It was not a great season. It's not a this 657 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 3: to anybody. Atlanta Housewives will never be what it was before, 658 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,239 Speaker 3: and that's okay to say. But make this show the 659 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 3: best it can be. Beverly Hills is in his glory Days, 660 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 3: because this is what I'm going to say on the record. 661 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 3: The biggest mistake that was made was letting Porschia go 662 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 3: because you and I talked about this too, Megan, that 663 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 3: Porsche Simon situation, Flan that should have been the a 664 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 3: story to start off the new season of Atlanta, to 665 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 3: give it the momentum and the press because what happened 666 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 3: to Dereed was in Dere's robbery was in the press 667 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 3: for so many months. I believe the ratings contributed to 668 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 3: people's curiosity about Dereed talking about this robbery because we 669 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 3: saw it in the press for so long. So I 670 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 3: think if Porscha and Simon and that Falent and that 671 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 3: whole situation was a part of Atlanta, it would have 672 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 3: been it would have been high ratings. 673 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 2: But I am so. 674 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: Obsessed with this woman's personal life, Like Portia's personal life 675 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: fascinates me, and like everything with Dennis fascinated me, and 676 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: like I want to know everything again. If she had 677 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: been the main woman, you know, in the middle, and 678 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: we had like not very deep into her personal life, 679 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: I would have been watching the first original episode. But 680 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 1: there is a certain point where I'm like I can't 681 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: keep meeting new people, like please bring back the beloved figures. 682 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: And she's also like huge, you know, she's like a huge, huge, huge, 683 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: you know, not just reality to be star, but like 684 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: just I mean I would go so far as say 685 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: star in general. And so again, why let her go 686 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: someplace else? I mean, I know she has her own show, 687 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: but still like, I don't know whatever. But when it 688 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: comes to Beverly Hills, I did watch it. I think 689 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great season. At least I'm really 690 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: hoping it is. And but the robbery is very intense. 691 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: It's a very I mean it was in the news. 692 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: Like you said, it's a very intense dark way to 693 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: open it. You know. I'm really happy this cast stayed 694 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: the same and they didn't make any changes. I'm very 695 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: curious about this new woman, the one they say looks 696 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: like Bridget Bardow, who's like, I'll be your villain. And 697 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: I was like, I might like her, Like I like 698 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: this response and she's saying that to Sutton, right, isn't 699 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: she saying that's a thing she puts in her place? Ma'am? 700 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: Whoever the Navy is, I don't know. 701 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 2: Are you team Erica? Or team sign. 702 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: So Erica is like a personal friend for real, Like 703 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: we text and FaceTime and she's like a wonderful person personally. 704 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: I know everything everyone has to say. I know everything. 705 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: I still choose to be her friend, and I don't 706 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: care what haters say either. She came on the view 707 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: and performed on my birthday. She's a wonderful person. Had 708 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: the pandemic k not gone on, she was going to 709 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: perform at my baby shower, my last event. I know 710 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: it was gonna have, I know, and she was she said, 711 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: all that was pregnant, shut up, yep, and she she said, 712 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: of course I will. And again, it's one of the 713 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: saddest things about my like pandemic whatever. She's a lovely 714 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 1: I can't tell you how much. And I think again 715 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: it's another thing, like we bond over being hated, you know, 716 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, like she knows what it 717 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: feels like to have like the world, like think that 718 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 1: you're like whatever, like you know, crazy and divisive and 719 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: all these things. But I adore her and like I said, 720 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: she just she's such a good heart. You know. I 721 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: knew shit was coming down with her before the press did. 722 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: Like she was cantid with me and we're like real friends. 723 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,439 Speaker 1: So I will like ride for her forever and I don't. Again, 724 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: I don't. There hasn't been a trial, she hasn't been charged. 725 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: And again, I think and the other thing that I 726 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: think is very very hypocritical is like, let's go to 727 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: Salt Lake City. Genshaw's allowed to just like trapes around 728 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: do a reunion where I didn't think her feet were 729 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: held to the fire and the way that she should have. 730 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: She's going to the New York court like district court attorney. 731 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: I actually texted one of my girlfriends who works for 732 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: Fox News and she's a lawyer, and I like texted 733 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: her and she was like, these charges against Genshaw are 734 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: no joke. She was like, it's absolutely no joke the 735 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: level that it's rising to, and she was like if 736 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 1: these people were involved, like you know, you can't obviously 737 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: convict anyone until there's been a jury. But it's bad, 738 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: like very very very bad. And I felt like the 739 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: media and the fans have really given Genshaw pass. And 740 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: that being said, these don't come after me because I 741 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: already had Twitter drama this week Jenshaw, and I don't 742 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 1: want anymore. And I'm just saying I'm protecting my girl Erica. 743 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: But I felt like Erica was given such intense scrutiny, 744 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: and Jinshaw was kind of like, oh, there are these charges, 745 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: but like show amazing, and I thought that was kind 746 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: of bullshit. 747 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 3: It's interesting because I could not agree with you more. 748 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 3: I didn't think that her feet. I didn't think Genshaw's 749 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 3: feet were held with a fire at the reunion the 750 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 3: way Erica was. I think because Erica comes across so 751 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,280 Speaker 3: ice cold that people are like, see, there's a reason 752 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 3: why we hate you, because they did not have a 753 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 3: reason before, because she just came across so stoic, Whereas Jenshaw, 754 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 3: like you said, sean amazing and she's whims the call 755 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 3: and she's funny. And what was so interesting to me 756 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 3: is Jenshaw is actually being charged with being the person 757 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:56,320 Speaker 3: who got her hands dirty in this situation, whereas Erica's situation, 758 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 3: unless I'm wrong, it's truly by default based on what 759 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 3: her husband was doing. And of course you can say 760 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 3: whether or not she knew about it. 761 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:03,840 Speaker 2: She didn't. 762 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, they're saying Erica's 763 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,479 Speaker 3: husband allegedly did all these things. They're not saying Erica 764 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 3: Jane allegedly did these things. They're saying Erica Jane allegedly 765 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 3: was a part of it in the sense of receiving 766 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 3: the financial benefits from it. And it's weird because you 767 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,359 Speaker 3: want to people are supporting jin because they feel like, well, 768 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 3: she's funny and they feel like Erica isn't remorseful. But 769 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, a crime is a crime. 770 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 3: But it's very interesting how that plays out on Twitter. 771 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: I never understood why people think she's so icy. And again, 772 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: maybe it's because I'm very similar. It's okay, not like 773 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: I'm not best friends with everybody, Like I keep my 774 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: circle closed. I love who I love, I trust who 775 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 1: I trust, and I don't think that people should necessarily 776 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: have that kind of agency over you, especially in times 777 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 1: of crisis. And I felt like she was I know, 778 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: she was drowning for a long time and just trying 779 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,919 Speaker 1: to like stay above water. And again, if it comes 780 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: out in court that like something that she has done 781 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 1: something wrong, fine, But until then, like I really that 782 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,359 Speaker 1: I cannot tell you, Carlos, I can't. She is a 783 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: literal she's like a actual friend of mine. I cannot 784 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: express to you how kind she has been to me, 785 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: how loyal she has been to me, how smart she is. 786 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: She's extremely politically savvy. We talk about politics all the time. 787 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: She watches cable news like and wants to talk about 788 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,359 Speaker 1: things she's always freaked out about, like different things going 789 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: on in the world. And I really like her. I 790 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: can't even tell you how much I really like her. 791 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: And I don't like people mee meet her. 792 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 2: And I just really like. 793 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, and maybe I'm just gonna die on 794 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: this hill with my other controversial women, But I don't know. 795 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: I really wish people knew, Like during the pandemic, we 796 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: would like FaceTime and bed in our pajamas and I'd 797 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 1: be like, fuck this pandemic, It's awful. We're real friends, 798 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 1: We're real get real friends.

If it was not for Erica Jane, 808 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 3: those ratings would not be high. It was her show, 809 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 3: her story, and the way she delivered. I don't care 810 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 3: if you agree. 811 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 2: With her or not. You have to agree. She makes 812 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 2: great television. She carried it on her back. 813 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 3: So I did an episode of the Greatest Housewives of 814 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 3: all time, my top ten. I would like for us 815 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 3: to play a game of the top five greatest you 816 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 3: co host of all times? 817 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 2: So you want me to are are you going to start? 818 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: You start, and then I'll go. 819 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 2: Okay. 820 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 3: Carlos King's top five greatest view co hosts of all 821 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,720 Speaker 3: time are in no particular order, Wood be Goldberg, Joy Behar, 822 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 3: Star Jones, Reynolds, Elizabeth Hasselback.

Because they brought in pop culture. They brought 827 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 3: in stuff that my generation wants to listen to. They're 828 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,280 Speaker 3: the reason why it trends on Twitter. Megan and Sonny 829 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 3: single handily change the direction of the View. And the 830 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 3: reason why I was sad to see you go is 831 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 3: because I thought Sonny and Meghan were the future of 832 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 3: the View. 833 00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 2: So that's my top five greatest View co hosts of 834 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:00,240 Speaker 2: all time. 835 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 1: Thank you. That's really nice. I let me try to 836 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: think mine. Rosie. You gotta add Rosie in there, because again, 837 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: she changed the game too. She did like and she 838 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: made iconic television. And you know, again lover hater, a 839 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,800 Speaker 1: lot of people ever hater her. But she's also the first, 840 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: I think, I think, the first openly LGBTQ host of 841 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 1: the View. 842 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, she was. 843 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 3: She was And wait isn't she like the first like 844 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,800 Speaker 3: real bona fide celebrity that was the co host? 845 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 846 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: And she for me, like when I was sort of 847 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: cognizant of the View was when I was in college 848 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 1: when she and Elizabeth you know, like fought and there 849 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: was like all that drama. And I will I like 850 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: Rosie o'donald. I think she's really compelling television in general, 851 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: and like she's a little messy and so am I 852 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 1: So I like that. Star Jones and I just think again, 853 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 1: like another person who just like changed the show was 854 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: on for such a long time. Also, uh much like 855 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: so much of all all history. But like television history, 856 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: you look back on that period of time with Star 857 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: and you really appreciate what she was doing, how she 858 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: was doing it, and again the sort of outward celebrity 859 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: that she brought in, and she really used the show 860 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: and like help platform herself in a major way. What 861 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 1: be obviously, I mean, you can't take that away. Elizabeth 862 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: love Elizabeth and five is tricky. Let me think, Oh 863 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: my gosh, who else is there? I think that's God. 864 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: I gotta do one more.

Yes, I can't, Carla's I can't. 867 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: I can't, And I'm so sorry I can't. We can't. 868 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 2: Did Joy respond to a tweet of yours? 869 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,000 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it was so weird like a month ago 870 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 1: or two months ago, like like work responded some woman 871 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,840 Speaker 1: who was a friend of hers, who I had actually met. 872 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 1: I put tweet up like a Valentine's d tweet to Ben, 873 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 1: my husband.

So that's why I always people like, oh, 877 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: there was no Valentine's State whatever, and there's a lot 878 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: of chaos in my life and thank god, I'm very 879 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: grateful my marriage is a place of stability, so whatever. 880 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 1: And this woman wrote not everything needs to be shared Megan, 881 00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 1: and then Joy wrote like how did she write?
