- 1:00Speaker 3: a real conversation. Y'all know I'm a Bravo guy. I
- 1:05Speaker 3: love Bravo shows, right, I'm more of a Housewives person, duh.
- 1:11Speaker 2: News flash. We all know that.
- 1:16Speaker 3: I'm really not into other shows outside of Housewives.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Ladies of London was great.
- 1:21Speaker 3: I just did not find myself wanting because doesn't want
- 1:26Speaker 3: to do this job. You have to have a want,
- 1:29Speaker 3: a need, a desire to recap shows. It's one thing
- 1:32Speaker 3: to watch it. Recapping takes a whole different energy, So
- 1:37Speaker 3: Ladies of London, I didn't have the energy to recap it.
- 1:41Speaker 2: I'm actually watching.
- 1:43Speaker 3: This season, season two of Next Gen and Why, and
- 1:47Speaker 3: I actually like it. But I can only watch it
- 1:50Speaker 3: on a Saturday because it gives me Saved by the belties.
- 1:56Speaker 3: So as a young boy, I would watch Say by
- 1:59Speaker 3: the Bell on Saturdays because it came on Saturdays. Right,
- 2:06Speaker 3: Next Gen n y C is pretty much Say by
- 2:09Speaker 3: the Bell. Ava Dash is Lark Voorhees, Brooks is Zach.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Morris. Are you'll following me here?
- 2:27Speaker 3: No, seriously, I think that. Then you have Georgia, who
- 2:34Speaker 3: to me is Jesse Just Spano, Spannel, right, just go Spano.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Arianna Bierman is Kelly Kapowski, okay, and obviously Charlie is screeched,
- 2:55Speaker 3: so that's yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Ava Dash is
- 3:06Speaker 3: Lisa Turtle. I know, I say Lark boarhe'es. Let's go
- 3:09Speaker 3: with characters. Ava Dash is Lisa Turtle. So that's that,
- 3:17Speaker 3: and that ain't going nowhere, okay, So anyway, I may
- 3:21Speaker 3: start recapping that now that in the city, Brody, look
- 3:23Speaker 3: my dog is doing.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Brody, what you're doing.
- 3:26Speaker 3: My dog is even excited that I'm talking about Next
- 3:28Speaker 3: Gen and y Okay, so.
- 3:32Speaker 2: You may get that recap.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Nonetheless, we are here to talk about In the City, my.
- 3:39Speaker 2: New favorite show.
- 3:41Speaker 3: Back to my point, I never watch an entire season
- 3:46Speaker 3: of Summerhouse. I hopped on the bandwagon, admittedly, so when
- 3:51Speaker 3: the scandal happened between Amanda West and Sierra and for me,
- 3:56Speaker 3: I did not want to experience fomo fear of missing out,
- 4:01Speaker 3: so I decided to do a deep dive, give the
- 4:04Speaker 3: rain drop something to talk about. And I've been hooked
- 4:09Speaker 3: too in the City, and I really do like this show.
- 4:14Speaker 3: The show is actually really interesting and I am begging
- 4:18Speaker 3: that they come back for a second season. So we
- 4:21Speaker 3: are here to recap the season finale of the show. Okay,
- 4:28Speaker 3: and we got to give it to Whitney. First of all,
- 4:33Speaker 3: Whitney is like gorgeous.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Supermodel gorgeous. She's tall, she's.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Leggy, you could tell, she's very nice and very sweet.
- 4:44Speaker 3: But baby, I did not know that Whitney had it
- 4:47Speaker 3: in her to double down on her statements. So the
- 4:52Speaker 3: episode starts off, they're in the separate cars. They're you know,
- 4:56Speaker 3: they're going to their excursion and then this conversation, Whitney
- 5:02Speaker 3: is doubling down that Lindsey uses the single mom card
- 5:07Speaker 3: because when they got to the house, Lindsay said that
- 5:14Speaker 3: she deserves to have her own room because she's a
- 5:21Speaker 3: you know, she's a mom, and she wants to be
- 5:24Speaker 3: able to enjoy herself because it's rare that they're able
- 5:29Speaker 3: to be without their kids, right, So that's what Lindsay said.
- 5:35Speaker 3: Georgina and her feels like, we're the moms, let's have it.
- 5:40Speaker 3: Whitney doesn't like it, and Whitney shaded her in the car,
- 5:45Speaker 3: not in front of her face, when she's like, look,
- 5:47Speaker 3: she even has a nanny and thinks she's more important
- 5:52Speaker 3: than all of us. That's Whitney's great. But the best
- 5:59Speaker 3: part to me was when Whitney admitted that she is
- 6:03Speaker 3: scared of Lindsey and so are the other girls. And
- 6:09Speaker 3: that to me was a tell tale in terms of
- 6:11Speaker 3: the bravery that Whitney had to speak up for herself
- 6:15Speaker 3: because she really saw.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Biased being displayed.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Because I'm sure the other people felt that way, but
- 6:24Speaker 3: no one is going to go up against as you
- 6:26Speaker 3: all call her mother Herbert. It ain't happening at all,
- 6:32Speaker 3: not today, not next week. It ain't happening. Lindsey runs
- 6:38Speaker 3: the cast, Lindsey runs the show. Whitney is setting up
- 6:43Speaker 3: for what's right, and in her mind, it is.
- 6:46Speaker 2: This card that she feels Lindsey's playing.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Now, look, I'm actually on Whitney's side. I do think
- 7:00Speaker 3: Lindsay is playing the mom card. It's pretty obvious and
- 7:03Speaker 3: will get to what really happened later where I'm like, look,
- 7:07Speaker 3: she even admitted it.
- 7:08Speaker 2: So Georgina, who.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Georgina of this episode, was giving me laptog tease. Okay,
- 7:20Speaker 3: she confronts Whitney as an all lighte on the bonfire,
- 7:25Speaker 3: and she pretty much says that Lindsay is not playing
- 7:32Speaker 3: the mom card and that Whitney is trying to dis
- 7:41Speaker 3: single mothers and if she was a single mom then
- 7:44Speaker 3: maybe she will understand what that feels like, which to
- 7:47Speaker 3: me was definitely a low blow.
- 7:52Speaker 2: It was a low blow, which is.
- 7:55Speaker 3: Why Whitney said she is sick of everyone bombing down
- 7:58Speaker 3: to Lindsay. And what Georgina was doing in this moment
- 8:02Speaker 3: to me was she was proving Whitney's point because you
- 8:08Speaker 3: are going harder for your girl than what she is
- 8:11Speaker 3: at this present moment, it was.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Giving, lap dog.
- 8:16Speaker 3: I thought I was watching Housewives of Atlanta for a second,
- 8:18Speaker 3: No shade, it was definitely giving. Lindsay is the Queen Bee,
- 8:22Speaker 3: She's the star of the show. I'm on the show
- 8:25Speaker 3: because of her. Therefore, I have her back. So to
- 8:30Speaker 3: tell Whitney one day, I hope you have kids so
- 8:34Speaker 3: that you can understand that was a mess up statement.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Now, that was a low blow. And that's why I
- 8:42Speaker 2: appreciate the fact that.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Kenny really tried his best to have his girl's back
- 8:49Speaker 3: without quote unquote getting in the women's business. Because for him,
- 8:53Speaker 3: he's thinking and more like, my girl said what she said,
- 8:57Speaker 3: and she meant it and I and she listened me
- 9:00Speaker 3: so sweet. Although she's strong enough to defend herself, Kenny
- 9:05Speaker 3: knows his friends, and he knows that he has to
- 9:08Speaker 3: help her, and that's what he did. And Georgina knew
- 9:13Speaker 3: what she said was so effed up, which is why
- 9:16Speaker 3: she got up and left. And that's when Whitney said
- 9:21Speaker 3: that she felt truly that Lindsey could have been a
- 9:26Speaker 3: better friend to Evond like that's her biggest issue. And
- 9:30Speaker 3: as Georgina's walking away, she then says, you both don't
- 9:37Speaker 3: like women as a couple. And that's when Georgina is
- 9:43Speaker 3: a bona fide Karen, because what the fuck was that
- 9:47Speaker 3: you were losing this game being a lap dog. You
- 9:51Speaker 3: was huffing a puffet and the roof blew down. You
- 9:55Speaker 3: need a harness, you have four legs. You're at the
- 10:01Speaker 3: wrong park. You need to be at a doggy park.
- 10:05Speaker 2: You shit it on.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Yourself by embarrassing yourself as well. So to say that
- 10:13Speaker 3: they don't like women, that is what we call gas lighting, Karen,
- 10:17Speaker 3: behavior microaggressions. Georgina failed the assignment.
- 10:24Speaker 2: To go that low.
- 10:26Speaker 3: Let me know that Georgina does not have what it
- 10:29Speaker 3: takes to have an intelligent conversation because you have to
- 10:33Speaker 3: be an intelligent person to do so.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Now I'm not calling her dumb or stupid.
- 10:37Speaker 3: I will never do that, But what I am saying
- 10:40Speaker 3: she doesn't have the intelligence, the emotional intelligence.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Let me be very clear what I'm saying. I'm not
- 10:47Speaker 2: saying BookSmart wise.
- 10:49Speaker 3: I'm saying Georgina lacks emotional intelligence to have a conversation
- 10:56Speaker 3: without going low.
- 10:58Speaker 2: As it said, they don't like women.
- 11:03Speaker 3: Just because they called the obvious, which is your girl,
- 11:07Speaker 3: Lindsey definitely was using the single mom card. And on
- 11:13Speaker 3: top of that, Lindsey was And again I don't know
- 11:16Speaker 3: the history between Lindsay and Yvonne because this is the
- 11:19Speaker 3: first season of the show, but from what I've seen
- 11:23Speaker 3: Team Yvonne, Lindsey was not being a good friend to
- 11:27Speaker 3: Yvonne at her wedding dinner party.
- 11:29Speaker 2: She just wasn't.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Now, granted, Lindsey was making great television and I'm here
- 11:34Speaker 3: for it, but it was at the expense of her
- 11:39Speaker 3: friend's dinner. And that's when you have to say, girl,
- 11:41Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I was trying to like get my point across,
- 11:44Speaker 3: and I was say on the side, look, bitch, I'm
- 11:46Speaker 3: trying to make good TV so that we can get
- 11:48Speaker 3: a second season. And I think Yvonne would have been like, fine,
- 11:52Speaker 3: because I want a second season too, right. So then
- 11:57Speaker 3: they go back home and at this point they're in
- 11:59Speaker 3: the kitchen, and so funny because Lindsay's in the kitchen,
- 12:02Speaker 3: she's being downloaded. What happens Amanda exits stage left. She
- 12:06Speaker 3: does not want to be part of the conversation. Whinnie
- 12:10Speaker 3: walks in and look to Whitney's defense, she stood on
- 12:17Speaker 3: business and if she never told me she was scared
- 12:21Speaker 3: of Lindsay.
- 12:22Speaker 2: I would have never thought that because she didn't give
- 12:24Speaker 2: me she was scared of her vibes. I didn't get
- 12:27Speaker 2: that at all.
- 12:29Speaker 3: She stood there like, okay, let's figure this out. Okay,
- 12:34Speaker 3: let's figure this out. And she tells her like, look,
- 12:39Speaker 3: you said what you said, Like, it is what you said.
- 12:42Speaker 3: You said that because you are mother, you deserve the room.
- 12:45Speaker 3: And I feel like that's.
- 12:46Speaker 2: You using a single mom card.
- 12:49Speaker 3: And Lindsay's like, I never said single mom, and she
- 12:51Speaker 3: was like, you said mom. And at this point, Lindsey's
- 12:55Speaker 3: fighting to win the game of semantics because the key
- 13:04Speaker 3: takeaway was you are using that, okay, but the part
- 13:11Speaker 3: that gaged me. Lindsey agrees with it eventually and said
- 13:19Speaker 3: that I'm mad that you said it. Then Lexi, who
- 13:24Speaker 3: was quiet the whole moment because she's the one that
- 13:28Speaker 3: took the bone, and went back to her boss, her
- 13:32Speaker 3: master Lindsey and told her what Whitney said. And in
- 13:40Speaker 3: this moment she's being another laptop too. Then you have
- 13:45Speaker 3: Gavin telling Lindsey she did nothing wrong and baby, in
- 13:49Speaker 3: the worst of Portie Gavin.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Wrong road, wrong road.
- 13:57Speaker 3: So then Kenny obviously is at Gavin because he's like,
- 14:02Speaker 3: why are you trying to create more smoke when this
- 14:06Speaker 3: has nothing to do with you? And Whitney and Lindsey
- 14:10Speaker 3: on the verge of apologizing to each other. So then
- 14:14Speaker 3: Whitney apologizes to Georgina. Gavin is still talking about the shit.
- 14:20Speaker 3: Winnie tells him to shut up, she's sick of him.
- 14:24Speaker 3: The boys get into it, they have to go outside,
- 14:28Speaker 3: and that's when it's sort of rebuild that look. Kenny
- 14:32Speaker 3: tells Gavin that he feels like he's chopping him off
- 14:35Speaker 3: at the knees, and Gavin in that moment, to me,
- 14:41Speaker 3: he felt like, look, I'm trying to make good television
- 14:45Speaker 3: as well, because Lindsey.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Is also my boss in this situation.
- 14:52Speaker 3: But I think Gavin knew that he was doing too much,
- 14:56Speaker 3: which is why he broke down and cried and told Ca,
- 15:00Speaker 3: you're like a brother to me, and I don't even
- 15:03Speaker 3: have a brother. And that's when the two guys hugged
- 15:08Speaker 3: it out and really understood that this petty bullshit is
- 15:14Speaker 3: beneath them and that's why I love Kenny, which, by
- 15:21Speaker 3: the way, I keep saying this over and over again.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Kenny with that card again. The open up White Ox
- 15:26Speaker 2: for shirt the fitted cap.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Kenny may be one of the baddest on Bravo.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Let's have a real conversation. Kenny is one.
- 15:43Speaker 3: Of the badsis on Bravo, the baddest. I'm just saying,
- 15:53Speaker 3: let's have a real conversation. It is not even up
- 15:59Speaker 3: for did bait okay?
- 16:04Speaker 2: Let me move on.
- 16:05Speaker 3: So at the friends giving dinner, Danielle asked lindsay if
- 16:11Speaker 3: they are moving forward or is it residual resentment from
- 16:16Speaker 3: the past. They decided to get over it, so it
- 16:20Speaker 3: was good. The Friendsgiving ended with everybody coming together. Then
- 16:25Speaker 3: a car came up that said two months later. And
- 16:28Speaker 3: then we're getting into the current situation of Amanda and
- 16:31Speaker 3: West drama. There's a one on one scene between Kyle
- 16:35Speaker 3: and Amanda. Kyle tells Amanda, you point blank lied to
- 16:41Speaker 3: me about West, and his point was, you complain to
- 16:46Speaker 3: me by my behavior going off partying, drinking, and he
- 16:50Speaker 3: said that West rageous three times more than he does,
- 16:55Speaker 3: which to me shows that Amanda has a type.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Amanda is like that.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Wounded bird that you see in the parking lot at
- 17:02Speaker 3: Walmart and you try not to step over it or
- 17:07Speaker 3: drive over it. Because you feel bad for the wounded
- 17:09Speaker 3: bird and you hope that one day they have enough.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Enough strength to walk.
- 17:17Speaker 3: On their own two ways, just saying that's how you feel, right.
- 17:25Speaker 3: Amanda likes a bad boy, which is why she stayed
- 17:28Speaker 3: with Kyle throughout all of his cheating and hanging out
- 17:32Speaker 3: and drinking and everything else, only to be in another
- 17:35Speaker 3: relationship with the guy who does the same thing. So
- 17:40Speaker 3: Kyle made a good point there, But one thing he
- 17:46Speaker 3: said was when they both released a joint statement, which
- 17:52Speaker 3: to me, I will still stand by this case and
- 17:55Speaker 3: our girlfriend to the show Blewe to lucimclocked it when
- 17:59Speaker 3: she's said that. The reason why Amanda rushed Kyle to
- 18:06Speaker 3: approve the joint statement they released on Instagram is because
- 18:10Speaker 3: she was already messing with Wes and she wanted to
- 18:14Speaker 3: make sure that the overlap did not extend more than
- 18:17Speaker 3: a few weeks.
- 18:19Speaker 2: That's why it was a sense of urgency and the
- 18:22Speaker 2: fact that.
- 18:25Speaker 3: Kyle asked Amanda about their situation only for her to
- 18:29Speaker 3: lie to him.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Blue was right. So in this moment, Amanda's.
- 18:36Speaker 3: Being vulnerable talking about the fear she has going outside
- 18:39Speaker 3: because you know, look, she at this moment is one
- 18:43Speaker 3: of the most hated women on television, and I would
- 18:46Speaker 3: go as far as to say probably the most hated
- 18:49Speaker 3: woman on television reality at that. And she's afraid that
- 18:53Speaker 3: somebody's going to stop from the street and yell at
- 18:55Speaker 3: her and look all drops aside.
- 18:57Speaker 2: That is a real feeling, and I do feel bad
- 19:01Speaker 2: for her for that.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Yes, she did something wrong, but no one should be
- 19:05Speaker 3: subjected to being afraid of walking down the street without
- 19:09Speaker 3: being confronted by strangers. She does not deserve that shade
- 19:14Speaker 3: her on social media all good, but in person, I
- 19:18Speaker 3: do believe in protecting someone's personal space. But the person
- 19:24Speaker 3: who is benefitting from all of this is Kyle, who
- 19:28Speaker 3: said that people have really been supporting his company Lover
- 19:31Speaker 3: or Boy, and Amanda said, yeah, they're supporting it because
- 19:34Speaker 3: they hate me so much.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I mean, that's true, that's true. That is true.
- 19:48Speaker 3: I mean, I'm supporting Love of Boy because I am one,
- 19:52Speaker 3: but I'm supporting it too because hey, that's what we do,
- 19:57Speaker 3: is consumers. We support the ones we feel needs the support,
- 20:01Speaker 3: and in this case, Kyle and Sierra needs it the most.
- 20:07Speaker 3: But then while they were talking, Amanda just Amanda doesn't
- 20:11Speaker 3: seem present.
- 20:12Speaker 2: I don't know if she is also.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Emotionally unavailable, but she kind of seems a bit stoic,
- 20:20Speaker 3: and when she made the joke that they could possibly
- 20:23Speaker 3: go out on double date with Sally and Kyle, I
- 20:28Speaker 3: don't know.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Amanda just looks completely soulless to me. I don't I
- 20:35Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know.
- 20:37Speaker 3: And then in current time, her and West are on
- 20:41Speaker 3: TikTok going grocery shopping to try to play up the
- 20:47Speaker 3: pregnancy rumors.
- 20:50Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's corny and I'm just not I'm
- 20:55Speaker 2: not here for it. I'm just not.
- 20:58Speaker 3: But I am here for the upcoming two part reunion
- 21:02Speaker 3: of In the City and we will be recapping that.
- 21:06Speaker 2: So rain Drops.
- 21:07Speaker 3: If you haven't watched In the City, I do encourage
- 21:11Speaker 3: all to binge it.
- 21:12Speaker 2: It's a really really, really really really good show.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Kenny, Gavin, Lindsay, Kyle, Amanda, they are carrying this season.
- 21:21Speaker 2: So I encourage you all to watch. It is really
- 21:26Speaker 2: damn good.
