- 1:38Speaker 4: for the people. You know what I'm saying? They came
- 1:40Speaker 4: for an experience. So we have to deliver that. Part
- 1:43Speaker 4: of that is how the hell we look. We don't
- 1:44Speaker 4: want them walking out the theater saying, bye, Ashy. You
- 1:47Speaker 4: know what I'm saying?
- 1:53Speaker 3: Well, look, Weston, if you don't read the comments, I do.
- 1:56Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:57Speaker 3: And you looking good is not a problem.
- 1:59Speaker 4: I appreciate that. That's why I see me in the raindrops.
- 2:04Speaker 4: We see each other. That's right. So, Lowe's, what are
- 2:08Speaker 4: we going to do about Vicky? Let's just get right
- 2:11Speaker 4: to it because I don't even know why we're going
- 2:13Speaker 4: to fuck around and run all the way around what
- 2:16Speaker 4: we really need to be discussing. Let's just get right
- 2:18Speaker 4: to it. Vicky, what's her last name?
- 2:22Speaker 3: Gunvalson.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Gunvalson. Yeah. Anyway, Vicky Gunvalson, who looks like a gun
- 2:29Speaker 4: holster with their long face. But Vicky Gunvalson, Gunvalson or son?
- 2:36Speaker 3: S-O-N.
- 2:37Speaker 4: Son. Gunvalson. Okay. Vicky Gunvalson said that she was uncomfortable
- 2:42Speaker 4: in Atlanta and that everybody was moving all around and
- 2:46Speaker 4: she was just uncomfortable in Atlanta. Why are you uncomfortable
- 2:50Speaker 4: in Atlanta? But you're comfortable in racist as Orange County, California,
- 2:55Speaker 4: which if you go back and look into the history
- 2:57Speaker 4: of that land and who settled there, it'll make sense
- 3:00Speaker 4: why that's not just a rumor. It's the way that
- 3:02Speaker 4: it is out there where she lives and loves. Second
- 3:05Speaker 4: of all, scandal ridden, drunk driving as sons beating people
- 3:10Speaker 4: up as marriage busting up as cheating on your husband
- 3:13Speaker 4: as Orange County is comfortable to Vicky. But Atlanta isn't
- 3:17Speaker 4: in a room full of housewives with security and cameras
- 3:20Speaker 4: capturing everything that goes on. That's one of the most
- 3:23Speaker 4: comfortable environments for anybody to be in. So why was
- 3:26Speaker 4: she uncomfortable? She probably did feel ugly. But she said
- 3:33Speaker 4: she was uncomfortable. And that's what I want to focus on.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Why the fuck was she uncomfortable in Atlanta? What was
- 3:39Speaker 4: it about black Atlanta where these black women are in
- 3:44Speaker 4: center stage running the show? Why is it that all
- 3:47Speaker 4: the cities that y'all brought y'all asses to, this is
- 3:50Speaker 4: the one city that her liniment-smelling ass and mothball-smelling ass
- 3:56Speaker 4: was uncomfortable in? Atlanta? She needed to be trying to
- 3:59Speaker 4: get her hair done in Atlanta while she was there.
- 4:01Speaker 4: That's what she should have been trying to do, get
- 4:03Speaker 4: you a real wig made or get your hair cut,
- 4:06Speaker 4: something with bangs to cover up some of that forehead
- 4:09Speaker 4: and face and them eyes and add a little mystique
- 4:11Speaker 4: and mystery to distract us from the fact that Vicky
- 4:14Speaker 4: is ugly. And I don't give a damn about saying it.
- 4:16Speaker 4: We don't say it this week. She is because she's
- 4:19Speaker 4: ugly on the inside where it counts. She should have
- 4:22Speaker 4: been astute enough and known well enough to know, hey,
- 4:27Speaker 4: maybe if I'm in this room full of all these
- 4:29Speaker 4: black people and black women, maybe it's not the right
- 4:32Speaker 4: time for me to say I'm uncomfortable. Maybe that's a
- 4:36Speaker 4: dog whistle. She should know better. So I was right.
- 4:44Speaker 4: I've been telling y'all I say all that to say
- 4:47Speaker 4: I was right I've been telling y'all I told y'all
- 4:50Speaker 4: niggas I told y'all since day one what time it
- 4:54Speaker 4: was with Vicky Gumbelson and every week I'm proving right
- 4:58Speaker 4: y'all see what this is she don't want to talk
- 5:01Speaker 4: to nobody she's putting out emitting energy you know what
- 5:05Speaker 4: I'm saying that is pushing people away She was over
- 5:10Speaker 4: there stinking. All she was missing was the green steam
- 5:14Speaker 4: coming out of her armpits and the crack of her ass.
- 5:17Speaker 4: And she was sitting there stinking and steaming over in
- 5:19Speaker 4: that corner. Hot. And she didn't look like Jackie O
- 5:23Speaker 4: at all. She looked like a jack-o'-lantern. And that's what
- 5:26Speaker 4: the problem was. And it's not up to anybody else
- 5:29Speaker 4: to make her old. She's a big age. Big age.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Why is it up to everybody else to make her old?
- 5:37Speaker 4: you know, coddle her emotions in every goddamn scene. Don't
- 5:40Speaker 4: nobody give a fuck how she feeling and what she
- 5:42Speaker 4: think about what's going on. Fuck Vicky. The show goes
- 5:46Speaker 4: on and that has been proven with the history of
- 5:50Speaker 4: the Real Housewives of Orange County after she left. And
- 5:54Speaker 4: then when Heather Dubrow saved the show and came back
- 5:56Speaker 4: and ran things and Tamara saved the show and came
- 5:59Speaker 4: back and took her spot. Now the show is moving
- 6:02Speaker 4: on along and Vicky was not a part of that.
- 6:04Speaker 4: Her being back is an Easter egg for the fans.
- 6:09Speaker 4: That's what that is. For the fans of the show
- 6:11Speaker 4: to say, oh, hmm. That's the only service and purpose
- 6:17Speaker 4: that she's serving in her role as the housewife of
- 6:19Speaker 4: Orange County. I'm sick of Vicky. She been getting on
- 6:22Speaker 4: my nerves every fucking episode. What is this, five? Carlos?
- 6:25Speaker 4: She been getting on my nerves for five weeks straight.
- 6:28Speaker 4: I've had it. Right up to her pillbox hat. I've
- 6:32Speaker 4: had it up to there with it. I'm tired of her, man.
- 6:35Speaker 4: And she does look like meatloaf. The singer. She would
- 6:40Speaker 4: do anything for love. She won't do that. But she
- 6:43Speaker 4: won't do black. That's what she want to say. So
- 6:49Speaker 4: I'm uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable. I bet you are.
- 6:56Speaker 4: Fetishizing black men by Googling Cynthia and shit. I can't
- 7:01Speaker 4: stand her. I can't stand her on this show, man.
- 7:04Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I've tried to find the nostalgia, the value
- 7:08Speaker 4: in the nostalgia. I've tried to see, well, okay, well,
- 7:12Speaker 4: that was kind of funny when she said that. Well,
- 7:14Speaker 4: maybe that was all right, but I'm simply sick of
- 7:17Speaker 4: looking at her looking like the man on the grits box. Okay.
- 7:23Speaker 4: I'm sick of her. She looks like the Quaker Oats man.
- 7:27Speaker 4: She looks like one of the founding. She looked like
- 7:30Speaker 4: she wrote part of the constitution. I'm tired of looking
- 7:33Speaker 4: at Vicky. I'm sick of it. I've had it. Just
- 7:36Speaker 4: like she was sick of all them Blacks in Atlanta,
- 7:39Speaker 4: I'm sick of Vicky on this show. And I know
- 7:41Speaker 4: I'm not the only one.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Okay.
- 7:50Speaker 1: On my agenda, I wasn't going to start with Marlon
- 7:52Speaker 1: Haffner's entrance. Why? Why?
- 7:55Speaker 4: Why, Carlos? Because you already know why we're here. Let's
- 8:00Speaker 4: get straight to it.
- 8:01Speaker 3: Listen, let's get straight to it. Raindrops.
- 8:03Speaker 1: The beauty of reality with the King recap is we.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Don't go in chronological order. Clearly.
- 8:09Speaker 1: We like to just go off of the dome and
- 8:12Speaker 1: our feelings and the space.
- 8:13Speaker 4: Passion.
- 8:15Speaker 3: There we go.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Okay, so look. I am going to be extremely honest
- 8:22Speaker 1: when I say this.
- 8:24Speaker 3: I felt uncomfortable watching it.
- 8:26Speaker 4: And you and I.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Don't always agree on my reach out, which is the
- 8:33Speaker 1: best thing about our friendship.
- 8:35Speaker 4: I agree with that.
- 8:36Speaker 3: We can agree to disagree and feel good the next day.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Shout out to that. But what I will say is.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I felt uncomfortable watching it because to me, it's one
- 8:51Speaker 1: of those things where, look, you can always find room for, well,
- 8:57Speaker 1: what if this?
- 8:58Speaker 3: Well, maybe let's look at it this way.
- 9:01Speaker 1: And my job as the moderator is to always look at.
- 9:06Speaker 3: The opposite side. Not the opposite side, that's the wrong
- 9:08Speaker 3: word to use.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Looking at different sides.
- 9:13Speaker 3: What about this point of view? This was honestly the
- 9:17Speaker 3: first time I.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Said to myself, it's so in front of my face.
- 9:25Speaker 3: That I have no choice but to accept what is happening.
- 9:29Speaker 1: It wasn't lost on me that this was the Atlanta trip.
- 9:35Speaker 1: It's not lost on me as a Black person who
- 9:39Speaker 1: worked on Atlanta Housewives all the years I have and
- 9:42Speaker 1: who knows the city, Atlanta.
- 9:44Speaker 3: And listen, you know Atlanta too, obviously.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Atlanta is one of the richest Black cities in the world.
- 9:52Speaker 1: And it's the reason why black people move to Atlanta
- 9:55Speaker 1: to thrive because although it's still the South and it's
- 9:58Speaker 1: a red state, right? And there's tons of things that
- 10:03Speaker 1: happens to us as Black people because of that.
- 10:06Speaker 3: I'll leave that here.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Yeah. It is still a celebratory city where Black people
- 10:13Speaker 1: of all walks of life, looks, shapes, and sizes all
- 10:17Speaker 1: come together to in a celebration of us and the culture.
- 10:22Speaker 1: And to see Vicky, who, because I always like to
- 10:28Speaker 1: be fair and point out the facts, who up until.
- 10:31Speaker 3: This point, we saw her in Beverly Hills. And she
- 10:37Speaker 3: looked comfortable.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Obviously, we saw her in OC. That's her hometown. Not
- 10:44Speaker 1: her hometown, but you know where she lives. She looked
- 10:46Speaker 1: comfortable there. To see her in Atlanta, the drag show
- 10:54Speaker 1: was one thing.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Fetishizing over Nene's man. I'm like, okay, look. All right,
- 11:00Speaker 3: maybe you do find him attractive. I don't know your type. Whatever.
- 11:05Speaker 3: I'll give you that. But I also.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Understand you're in an environment to where you're in a
- 11:12Speaker 1: row of other.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Other housewives, you guys are sanctioned in this one row,
- 11:21Speaker 1: and there's black people around you guys, but in this
- 11:23Speaker 1: one row, you're with your castmates who are predominantly white,
- 11:28Speaker 1: and it's just meeting in Pedro.
- 11:30Speaker 3: Okay, fine, whatever.
- 11:32Speaker 1: But then to be in this event space and to
- 11:37Speaker 1: be surrounded by the majority of black people, And for me,
- 11:43Speaker 1: and this is what I have dealt with so much
- 11:46Speaker 1: in this business, Dustin, and what's interesting is, and the
- 11:50Speaker 1: reason why I've accepted what I was being shown, I
- 11:54Speaker 1: can't tell you, even recently, something happened a few months
- 11:59Speaker 1: ago where a white person that I know was in
- 12:06Speaker 1: a room full of predominantly black people. And this person
- 12:11Speaker 1: says to me, of course, joking, like, ooh, you know,
- 12:16Speaker 1: I'm the only white person in here. And I was like,
- 12:19Speaker 1: to myself, and then I said, well, no shade.
- 12:24Speaker 4: Imagine how I.
- 12:27Speaker 3: Felt my whole life.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Like, what I thought was so fascinating with the Vicky
- 12:33Speaker 1: thing is, Black people, we.
- 12:35Speaker 3: Know what it's like to be the only Black person
- 12:37Speaker 3: in the room.
- 12:39Speaker 1: But We don't make a big stink out of it
- 12:43Speaker 1: because we are aware of our reality. And we've accepted it.
- 12:51Speaker 1: And we know how to navigate through it. And we
- 12:54Speaker 1: keep it pushing, right?
- 12:56Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 12:57Speaker 3: We keep it pushing. For Black people, it is what
- 13:02Speaker 3: it is.
- 13:03Speaker 1: It is what it is. And it's how it's always
- 13:06Speaker 1: going to be. We will never be the majority.
- 13:09Speaker 3: And we get it.
- 13:10Speaker 1: So we've accepted that reality and we've learned how to
- 13:14Speaker 1: navigate through it. Vicky being 60 plus, for the first
- 13:19Speaker 1: time in her life, feeling like the minority in the room.
- 13:23Speaker 3: And it's one thing if you felt that way.
- 13:26Speaker 1: I was bothered by how brazen she was to say it.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I was upset with how she kept saying, I'm uncomfortable
- 13:43Speaker 1: and I'm ugly. But my point is this.
- 13:50Speaker 3: What?
- 13:51Speaker 1: Because I looked at it this way. You saying you ugly,
- 13:55Speaker 1: for me, is less about how you look because we
- 13:58Speaker 1: all know you feel insecure. You and I talked about
- 14:01Speaker 1: how Slade called her Miss Piggy, not Porky the Pig Luann,
- 14:05Speaker 1: Miss Piggy.
- 14:06Speaker 3: She got surgery. So we already know that you're insecure
- 14:09Speaker 3: about your looks.
- 14:10Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:12Speaker 1: But it was the fact that you focus on your
- 14:14Speaker 1: looks and you are a white woman. So for you
- 14:18Speaker 1: to focus on your looks, it was less about your appearance.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I felt you were you paid so much attention to
- 14:26Speaker 1: the fact that you are a white woman in this
- 14:28Speaker 1: room full of black women.
- 14:30Speaker 3: Who are confident, gorgeous, dressed to the nines. And it
- 14:34Speaker 3: was more so about that.
- 14:38Speaker 1: And my last point will be, to add insult to injury,
- 14:44Speaker 1: you first decided to be outspoken about it to Kim Zosiac.
- 14:51Speaker 3: You decided to talk about it.
- 14:53Speaker 1: To a fellow white woman because you felt comfortable telling her.
- 14:58Speaker 1: And when the other Black girls were asking you, you good?
- 15:01Speaker 1: You're like, you know, nobody's talking to me. I feel invisible.
- 15:06Speaker 1: It was all of these choice words that I dissected
- 15:09Speaker 1: in terms of, well, imagine what we feel like every
- 15:13Speaker 1: single day when we go to the grocery store, when
- 15:16Speaker 1: we go to the bank, when we go to work,
- 15:19Speaker 1: when we have went to school, college.
- 15:22Speaker 4: When we go to bed, we can't even get a
- 15:24Speaker 4: good night's rest from the hell they done inflicted on
- 15:27Speaker 4: us all goddamn day, making us feel less than. The
- 15:30Speaker 4: thing that happened and the reason she felt so ugly
- 15:33Speaker 4: and was focusing on her looks is because she realized
- 15:36Speaker 4: that she was in a room where she didn't have
- 15:38Speaker 4: any type of privilege whatsoever. It didn't matter that she
- 15:41Speaker 4: was a white woman in Atlanta, so the white privilege
- 15:45Speaker 4: thing wasn't going to work in this space. It's that
- 15:47Speaker 4: she was going to occupy while she was in Atlanta.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Number two, she's in a room where all these Black
- 15:54Speaker 4: women are on the exact same level and have the
- 15:56Speaker 4: same value to the powers that be, right, as her.
- 16:01Speaker 4: So she felt there was a level set there. Then
- 16:03Speaker 4: on top of that, they're beautiful. And being highlighted. Literally,
- 16:08Speaker 4: the party's about pictures of people. So if she has
- 16:11Speaker 4: a physical insecurity, that couple braided with, I should say,
- 16:16Speaker 4: having no privilege in that room. And then the third
- 16:18Speaker 4: chord of a bunch of black women that are on
- 16:21Speaker 4: the same level as her, her ugliness, I think reflected,
- 16:24Speaker 4: or her saying that she felt ugly, I think reflected
- 16:27Speaker 4: her lack of power and prowess in that room by
- 16:30Speaker 4: virtue of who she is. She ain't used to that shit.
- 16:33Speaker 4: So then, as you said, she did, to bring it
- 16:36Speaker 4: up to Kim Zosiek, the only other white woman in
- 16:38Speaker 4: the room, well, one of the only other white women
- 16:40Speaker 4: in the room, but it was a bunch of white
- 16:42Speaker 4: people in that motherfucking room, a bunch. And them white
- 16:45Speaker 4: women were moving around, doing what they do, comfortable. contributing
- 16:49Speaker 4: and happy to be there.
- 16:51Speaker 3: Teresa holding Marlo's hand. This is my girlfriend. Teresa holding
- 16:55Speaker 3: Marlo's hand.
- 16:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Hey, what's up? Lisa Barlow. All of the other women
- 17:05Speaker 3: were low-key, low-key, not even low-key, high-key.
- 17:08Speaker 1: All those women, all those other white housewives that's a
- 17:12Speaker 1: part of the cast, the Augment Girls Trip cast, They
- 17:15Speaker 1: all were having a ball.
- 17:17Speaker 4: Ball, do you hear me? Ball till they fall. And
- 17:20Speaker 4: it wasn't about whether they were white or black. Another
- 17:24Speaker 4: thing I'd like to highlight is there's a way to
- 17:27Speaker 4: acknowledge the realities of a situation without being disrespectful, racist,
- 17:33Speaker 4: or rude. Prime example was two episodes ago, or was
- 17:37Speaker 4: it three episodes ago when they were at Kyle's white
- 17:41Speaker 4: party in Beverly Hills? And Portia was like, we going
- 17:43Speaker 4: to this white party? Well, I ain't talking about this
- 17:46Speaker 4: because it's white people at the party. It laughed. It
- 17:48Speaker 4: was funny. It's a way to acknowledge it. I'm a comedian.
- 17:51Speaker 4: That's what I do for a living. There's a way
- 17:53Speaker 4: to highlight the realities of life with a touch of
- 17:56Speaker 4: humor that makes it palatable for everybody involved and neutralizes
- 18:02Speaker 4: that element. You know what I'm saying? And whatever the
- 18:04Speaker 4: situation is, Vicky didn't want to be like that. She
- 18:07Speaker 4: wasn't looking to find a way to unite everyone. She
- 18:12Speaker 4: wanted to highlight the differences. She wanted to highlight her
- 18:15Speaker 4: discomfort in Atlanta of all places. It is what it is,
- 18:20Speaker 4: but she's one of many. You know what I'm saying?
- 18:23Speaker 4: She just happens to be the one that we're talking
- 18:25Speaker 4: about right now. And she brought all this commentary on
- 18:28Speaker 4: herself when she said that she was uncomfortable in Atlanta.
- 18:34Speaker 4: First of all, who gives a fuck? As a viewer,
- 18:38Speaker 4: I didn't give a fuck about her being comfortable in Atlanta.
- 18:40Speaker 4: I thought it was rude to everybody else. But anyway,
- 18:45Speaker 4: enough of who she look like this week.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Dustin! More?
- 18:53Speaker 4: Gargamel. Gargamel. Enough of Gargamel. We've had enough. Alright.
- 19:01Speaker 3: So Raindrops, let us know in the comments your thoughts
- 19:04Speaker 3: on this. If You caught the same thing.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Or, listen, we are open to other opinions. If you disagree,
- 19:12Speaker 1: if you disagree.
- 19:13Speaker 3: Let us know why.
- 19:14Speaker 4: Carlos is. I don't give a... Feel.
- 19:21Speaker 2: How I feel.
- 19:22Speaker 3: Leave your views to yourself.
- 19:25Speaker 4: I don't give a fuck, man. I don't like how
- 19:27Speaker 4: she treating them, man.
- 19:30Speaker 1: This is Reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.
- 19:33Speaker 3: Let's get back into the show.
- 19:37Speaker 1: I think if a blind man saw what was going
- 19:42Speaker 1: on and it was, like I said, it was painfully obvious. Mm-hmm.
- 19:50Speaker 1: really was and um you know I said to Alexis
- 19:55Speaker 1: Jansen who I'll do my OC recap with and I
- 19:59Speaker 1: said to her you know getting Vicky twice a week
- 20:04Speaker 1: um in this state just isn't as digestible as I
- 20:09Speaker 1: thought it was going to be. And I do think,
- 20:12Speaker 1: I do think everyone has to look at themselves and say, is.
- 20:17Speaker 3: My time up? You know, like, like I, I, I've
- 20:21Speaker 3: had a great time.
- 20:22Speaker 1: I'm grateful for the opportunity. I, I, I, after this episode,
- 20:27Speaker 1: I really have accepted that this is.
- 20:29Speaker 4: Who you are.
- 20:31Speaker 3: And, um, you know, I don't like what I'm seeing.
- 20:35Speaker 3: And I'll end it by saying that. But what I
- 20:41Speaker 3: did like that I saw was when the episode opened
- 20:45Speaker 3: up and Marlo Patrice Hampton.
- 20:49Speaker 4: Coming out that truck, Marlo, like, that is, we got
- 20:57Speaker 4: exactly what we've been missing about Marlo from Marlo in
- 21:01Speaker 4: this episode. She was Marlowe-ing at the highest levels of Marlowe-ism.
- 21:07Speaker 3: That's adjective.
- 21:08Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely. She was. That was incredible. The Cruella look
- 21:13Speaker 4: from the movie Cruella was incredible. Shout out to the
- 21:17Speaker 4: designers and the seamstress and everybody involved, you know what
- 21:23Speaker 4: I'm saying, in creating and constructing that look because that
- 21:26Speaker 4: was a flawless execution. She looked stunning. Yeah. She shook
- 21:31Speaker 4: the room.
- 21:33Speaker 3: Oh, she, listen, Kelly, nope, nope. She dropped the last name.
- 21:38Speaker 3: Kelly Potter.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Yeah. Hey, Kelly.
- 21:41Speaker 3: Hey, Kelly Lovey. And Kelly will agree with us. Marlo
- 21:45Speaker 3: is the standard.
- 21:46Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.
- 21:47Speaker 3: It was to the.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Point where, Dustin, it was the commitment to the assignment.
- 21:57Speaker 1: It's one thing to, I'm going to tell you three
- 22:00Speaker 1: things that show commitment. First, you said, okay, it's the
- 22:05Speaker 1: Alter Ego party. Marlo was not a part of season
- 22:08Speaker 1: two when the original Peach Holders did the Alter Ego look.
- 22:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:12Speaker 3: So in her mind, she's like, okay, who am I
- 22:14Speaker 3: going to be? Coretta DeVille. Coretta DeVille obviously always wore
- 22:20Speaker 3: something black and white.
- 22:21Speaker 1: And the hair was, you know, silver, gray, whatever. The
- 22:24Speaker 1: fact that Marlo said, let me do.
- 22:27Speaker 3: My version of that. So that commitment, number one. Number two...
- 22:31Speaker 3: it was the.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Commitment to saying, huh, what is my rival going to
- 22:38Speaker 1: look like, guys? To think about that as no disrespect
- 22:45Speaker 1: to Marlo, like you're not a housewife currently. And number two,
- 22:53Speaker 1: when it comes to housewives, people do think of the Nene,
- 22:55Speaker 1: the Charades, the Kims, you know, the Candies, all the,
- 22:58Speaker 1: you know, the rest of it, Portia, obviously.
- 23:00Speaker 3: People think of those girls, Kenya.
- 23:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:03Speaker 3: But Marlo was only a peach.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Holder for two seasons, so we don't see it like that.
- 23:08Speaker 1: So the fact that her third commitment after thinking about
- 23:11Speaker 1: a rival was to come in a fucking garbage dumpster truck?
- 23:17Speaker 1: And a little tea for you guys, because Marlo wouldn't
- 23:19Speaker 1: mind if I say this to you guys. Marlo paid
- 23:23Speaker 1: for that herself. Mm-hmm.
- 23:26Speaker 3: Marlo did not inform production.
- 23:28Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 23:29Speaker 1: When Marlo arrived, because when you arrived, you called the
- 23:33Speaker 1: producer to say, I'm here. When they saw what she
- 23:35Speaker 1: was in, the producer said, why didn't you tell us this?
- 23:40Speaker 3: And Marlo said, I'm here. Dustin, they said, five minutes, please.
- 23:50Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 23:51Speaker 1: They called cameras and they said, we have to make
- 23:55Speaker 1: this big. So my point in all of that is,
- 23:58Speaker 1: The commitment that Marlo gave the assignment without even being
- 24:04Speaker 1: a current housewife just shows you that woman is on
- 24:08Speaker 1: a different level.
- 24:09Speaker 4: Have you seen the original? Look at the reference, right?
- 24:13Speaker 4: I don't know if you can see this. Look at
- 24:15Speaker 4: the reference.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Yes.
- 24:17Speaker 4: Like this is the Cruella from the film, right?
- 24:20Speaker 3: With Emma Stone.
- 24:21Speaker 4: Yes. And Marlo literally took this and said, okay, let's
- 24:25Speaker 4: do that. pump it up 10 times. You know what
- 24:28Speaker 4: I'm saying? And make it a moment. The craftsmanship, dog.
- 24:32Speaker 4: Like you can look at it and tell Marlo. I mean,
- 24:34Speaker 4: it's Marlo. I miss that part of Marlo. I didn't
- 24:37Speaker 4: miss her calling candy hoes and shit and making up
- 24:39Speaker 4: that storyline about the flowers and all of that shit.
- 24:42Speaker 4: That was a lot. And I thought we kind of
- 24:44Speaker 4: lost our way. Seasons 14 and 15 with Marlo. But
- 24:49Speaker 4: prior to that, she's been incredible. Incredible. Incredible. And that,
- 24:53Speaker 4: what we saw in this episode of the Ultimate Girls
- 24:56Speaker 4: Trip is the Marlo that I miss. I miss the
- 24:58Speaker 4: way that she had that conversation with Nene, you know, which,
- 25:02Speaker 4: what was that energy about, Carlos? Do you think Nene
- 25:05Speaker 4: felt some kind of way about Marlo being such a
- 25:08Speaker 4: big moment at the party when Nene had the entrance
- 25:11Speaker 4: plan being carried in by the men? Do you think
- 25:14Speaker 4: there was some clashing there? What do you think they
- 25:16Speaker 4: hadn't spoken about?
- 25:17Speaker 3: Marlo, okay.
- 25:19Speaker 1: So, no, I will go on record saying it had
- 25:22Speaker 1: nothing to do with that. Marlo and Nene.
- 25:24Speaker 3: So, obviously, First of all, a little.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Sidebar, because I was going to say the years that
- 25:32Speaker 1: Nene's been on the show and off the show, the
- 25:34Speaker 1: same with Marlo. But before I get to that, because
- 25:36Speaker 1: it just came to my mind, to see Sharae's tenure
- 25:40Speaker 1: at the bottom of the screen and the gaps, I
- 25:42Speaker 1: was like, I don't need y'all to play my girl.
- 25:45Speaker 1: The gaps, y'all tried it. Don't put me playing with
- 25:48Speaker 1: Sheba Sharae. I didn't need season one through four. Eight
- 25:53Speaker 1: to ten. 12 through, I said.
- 25:56Speaker 4: She's had intermissions. She has had intermissions, for sure.
- 26:01Speaker 3: I'm like, don't think about Shemasha Ray.
- 26:03Speaker 4: Okay, back to.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Nina and Marlo.
- 26:05Speaker 1: Nina and Marlo, a lot of their stuff is off-camera stuff.
- 26:10Speaker 3: Like, stuff they were dealing with in Atlanta. You know, like,
- 26:13Speaker 3: some Atlanta shit.
- 26:15Speaker 1: So, that's why when you saw them together, what was
- 26:20Speaker 1: the point of that conversation was Was more so about
- 26:24Speaker 1: them both acknowledging that they haven't spoken in a minute
- 26:28Speaker 1: and they were trying.
- 26:30Speaker 3: To sort of like get respect.
- 26:32Speaker 1: And to your point, though, I appreciated the maturity of
- 26:36Speaker 1: the conversation because Marlo and Nene, when I say this
- 26:41Speaker 1: to you, bro, I mean it. And you have siblings
- 26:43Speaker 1: like me. Marlo and Nene are literally sisters.
- 26:48Speaker 3: They fight, they love each other, they get along.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Sometimes they don't, but the love is always there.
- 26:55Speaker 3: And what I love about seeing Marlo and Nene was more.
- 26:58Speaker 1: So about the fact that you could tell they both
- 27:01Speaker 1: have this respect for each other.
- 27:02Speaker 3: So I think Nene was like, okay, bitch. Bitch, what?
- 27:11Speaker 1: Look, I know we'll get to Lisa in a second.
- 27:13Speaker 1: But what I will say is, and maybe I'm the minority, Dustin,
- 27:17Speaker 1: would love to get your thoughts. It made me miss
- 27:21Speaker 1: that group of women together.
- 27:23Speaker 4: For sure. We fell in love with that group of women.
- 27:25Speaker 4: So I don't think you're alone in that. Maybe there's
- 27:28Speaker 4: a room for, I hate to use the word that
- 27:31Speaker 4: everybody's using, but a legacy quote unquote version of Atlanta
- 27:35Speaker 4: where we reprise these women as reality stars in some way,
- 27:40Speaker 4: meaning the original cast and maybe some going along the way,
- 27:45Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying? Bring them back into a
- 27:47Speaker 4: different like show for them specifically. Maybe that could exist,
- 27:51Speaker 4: but I believe the ship of the Real Housewives of
- 27:54Speaker 4: Atlanta has progressed, evolved and moved forward. So I think
- 27:59Speaker 4: that those women could be configured into something else that
- 28:04Speaker 4: would be just as entertaining because they have value. They're
- 28:07Speaker 4: entertaining women. They're good television personalities. So let's figure out
- 28:11Speaker 4: a different way to harness their talent. You know what
- 28:14Speaker 4: I'm saying?
- 28:15Speaker 1: I think a legacy would be so dope. And we
- 28:18Speaker 1: know that E is doing one with the Golden Line.
- 28:20Speaker 1: I think an Atlanta version of that would just.
- 28:22Speaker 3: Be off the chain. So Nene had her own entrance.
- 28:29Speaker 1: And she's being carried by these hot guys. And it's
- 28:34Speaker 1: pretty much her queendom, right? Portia introduces her as her queendom.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Let me know if you thought this, and maybe because
- 28:43Speaker 1: I'm too close to it, that I could be alone
- 28:46Speaker 1: in this too, Dustin. But when Nene was being carried
- 28:50Speaker 1: and being adored, and she said her speech, in that moment,
- 28:56Speaker 1: I felt like, I wonder how Kim and Sharae felt.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Because they all start together. Now look, Nene, in my opinion,
- 29:04Speaker 1: is the greatest housewife of all time. But that doesn't
- 29:08Speaker 1: take anything away from the the work that Kim and
- 29:12Speaker 1: Sharae did to make the show successful. And I love
- 29:14Speaker 1: that Nina Gable's girls are props.
- 29:17Speaker 3: Lisa, we'll look at you in a second.
- 29:19Speaker 1: But in that moment, tell me, did you also think
- 29:23Speaker 1: about them? Is it weird for Kim and Sharae to
- 29:27Speaker 1: look up and see this happen, knowing that they all
- 29:30Speaker 1: started together?
- 29:31Speaker 4: Only if their egos are ones that would make them
- 29:38Speaker 4: have those sort of reflections on them.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Moment.
- 29:40Speaker 4: If you a real motherfucker and you confident in your
- 29:43Speaker 4: shit and if somebody is truly your friend, well, at
- 29:47Speaker 4: least for me, I don't be feeling jealousy in any
- 29:50Speaker 4: way in life, generally. I hate jealousy and envy. But
- 29:55Speaker 4: if one of my friends is having a moment, the
- 29:57Speaker 4: last thing I'm going to think of is we You know,
- 30:01Speaker 4: like say we work together every Monday night. Say you
- 30:04Speaker 4: got nominated for a hosting award for Monday Night Live.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Right.
- 30:08Speaker 4: I would be happy for you. You know what I'm saying?
- 30:11Speaker 4: I wouldn't be feeling like, damn, I'm happy for him.
- 30:13Speaker 4: But that really could be me or whatever. I wouldn't
- 30:15Speaker 4: even like I'm just not wired that way. So I
- 30:18Speaker 4: would assume that. And that's not saying that, you know,
- 30:21Speaker 4: people can't have their natural emotions or whatever. I'm just
- 30:24Speaker 4: talking about myself. i don't i don't you know i'm
- 30:27Speaker 4: not even like that so at all so maybe they
- 30:31Speaker 4: um i would hope that they didn't have those feelings
- 30:34Speaker 4: but if they do it's their own fault because they
- 30:36Speaker 4: kiss nini's ass all the time they they they um
- 30:40Speaker 4: they they coddle her emotions they feed into that you're
- 30:44Speaker 4: the queen thing that that people have taken and run
- 30:47Speaker 4: with this this in um unofficial ranking or pecking order
- 30:52Speaker 4: shit mentality. I'm the queen of this. You said pecking,
- 30:56Speaker 4: not pegging.
- 30:59Speaker 3: You said pecking?
- 31:00Speaker 4: Pecking, not pegging. Okay, nah. For that, you can holler
- 31:05Speaker 4: at my good sister, 4CorePumps, on Instagram and her hit podcast, okay? Decisions, decisions. Now,
- 31:15Speaker 4: you got to plug my girl. Now, they, they play
- 31:19Speaker 4: into that. And Nene played into it to her own detriment, unfortunately.
- 31:24Speaker 4: And that's why I was really, I was like, man,
- 31:26Speaker 4: I wish she wouldn't have said that when her and
- 31:28Speaker 4: Marlo finally had their conversation and piece shit up or whatever.
- 31:31Speaker 4: And she was like, remember, we was the best duo, bitch,
- 31:34Speaker 4: the best. Why is everything always, um, you know, relegated
- 31:40Speaker 4: to a competitive, you know, thing with her, everything becomes like,
- 31:44Speaker 4: I'm the best y'all ain't good enough for Ours was
- 31:47Speaker 4: the best. I'm the most. Everything's a competitive. Everything has
- 31:51Speaker 4: a competitive slant with her when it comes to the housewives.
- 31:54Speaker 4: And I wish she would stop that because she does.
- 31:57Speaker 4: Nene has a history and an undeniable impact on the
- 32:03Speaker 4: Real Housewives world, period. Let alone Real Housewives of Atlanta.
- 32:07Speaker 4: She doesn't have to say that. She don't even have
- 32:10Speaker 4: to feed into that. And right now, coming back into
- 32:13Speaker 4: this space. Some humility would look, you know what I'm saying? Really,
- 32:17Speaker 4: really good on her. And so even though it was harmless,
- 32:20Speaker 4: light fun she was having with Marlo, I don't want
- 32:23Speaker 4: to see her doing that because that's what got her
- 32:25Speaker 4: in this situation in the first damn place is that
- 32:28Speaker 4: sort of attitude. So I hated to see that. But
- 32:32Speaker 4: that was by far outweighed by my happiness to see
- 32:35Speaker 4: her back on my TV. Again, this is a petty thing.
- 32:38Speaker 4: Maybe it's just me. But seeing her in a scene
- 32:41Speaker 4: with that little Bravo logo in the corner just made
- 32:43Speaker 4: me feel good. As a person that has always loved
- 32:46Speaker 4: the Real Housewives of Atlanta, I just was happy to
- 32:50Speaker 4: see her on that screen. I was.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Yeah. How did you feel about her speech?
- 32:55Speaker 1: Once again, she literally said to Kim and Sharae, I
- 33:00Speaker 1: could not do this without you.
- 33:01Speaker 3: Which I was like, because again, I was fucking there. Mm-hmm.
- 33:07Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 33:08Speaker 1: As Nene breakout star, and she's the queen of reality television,
- 33:13Speaker 1: not just Housewives.
- 33:13Speaker 3: To me, it meant the.
- 33:17Speaker 1: World to me that she acknowledged Kim and Sharae in
- 33:20Speaker 1: a way of saying, I could not do this without
- 33:24Speaker 1: you because there is no I in team. So I
- 33:27Speaker 1: love the fact that she acknowledged two women that definitely
- 33:33Speaker 1: To me, they were the trifecta.
- 33:35Speaker 3: They just were.
- 33:35Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. Nene versus Kim and Nene versus Sharae
- 33:40Speaker 4: are the conflicts that made that show what it was.
- 33:44Speaker 4: It just is what it is. Nene and Kim's falling
- 33:46Speaker 4: out and Nene and Sharae's falling out. That echoed through
- 33:51Speaker 4: seasons of that show. The party. Sharae not letting her
- 33:56Speaker 4: come in the party. Nene and Kim, every time that
- 33:59Speaker 4: they fucking got into it, all the way up until
- 34:01Speaker 4: they still had quotables all the way up until season
- 34:04Speaker 4: fucking 10. Where is your scooter? That was 10 seasons in.
- 34:08Speaker 4: And their feud can still be the source of emotions
- 34:13Speaker 4: that inspire quotes like that. You know what I'm saying?
- 34:16Speaker 4: So that was what they call it, lightning in a bottle.
- 34:19Speaker 4: That's what that was. Nene, Kim and Sharae for sure.
- 34:21Speaker 4: So I appreciated her mentioning it. I didn't give a
- 34:24Speaker 4: fuck that she forgot about Lisa. I was about to
- 34:26Speaker 4: say Lisa, right?
- 34:28Speaker 3: Oh, God, Dustin.
- 34:31Speaker 4: I didn't give a fuck that she forgot about Lisa Wu.
- 34:34Speaker 4: I didn't give a fuck that she forgot about Lisa Wu.
- 34:36Speaker 4: Who cares? You know what? Lisa Wu had multiple seasons
- 34:40Speaker 4: on that show to show and prove. Two seasons. Nothing
- 34:44Speaker 4: ever really came from that. She was posturing the entire time,
- 34:49Speaker 4: painting a picture of having all these businesses and heart
- 34:53Speaker 4: to heart baby and the jewelry and real estate and
- 34:56Speaker 4: the Hummer and all that shit, all of that fell apart.
- 34:59Speaker 4: Then you picked her up, threw her a bone and
- 35:02Speaker 4: included her in one of your projects where she under-delivered again.
- 35:06Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? And you know it, you
- 35:09Speaker 4: can't say it, but I can. And so now she
- 35:14Speaker 4: comes back over here onto the Housewives, right? On the
- 35:18Speaker 4: Ultimate Girls Trip 20th anniversary, being there alone, It's such
- 35:22Speaker 4: an honor to be recognized with the fact that they said,
- 35:25Speaker 4: let's go get the ones that started this shit when
- 35:27Speaker 4: we do Atlanta. And they got her just like they
- 35:30Speaker 4: did in other cities. You know what I'm saying? Remember
- 35:32Speaker 4: with the housewife nobody knew in Orange County when they
- 35:34Speaker 4: was out in the one from OC that nobody knew.
- 35:37Speaker 4: They're going back to season one type shit. Sit in that.
- 35:41Speaker 4: Let that be your, you know, yeah, let that be your.
- 35:45Speaker 4: Let that be enough and let your personality show be funny.
- 35:49Speaker 4: Mix and mingle with these other ladies. You have so
- 35:51Speaker 4: many different choices that you could have made in that room.
- 35:54Speaker 4: But what does she do? Argue with Nene over some bullshit. Drunk.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Face swole up because of alcohol.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Drunk.
- 36:03Speaker 4: No. Another bad choice. I'm sorry. There's a lot of
- 36:07Speaker 4: different things that people can do in this world and
- 36:10Speaker 4: find joy in. I know Lisa will express like passions
- 36:13Speaker 4: for a whole lot of other shit. So I think
- 36:15Speaker 4: that means that there's a whole lot of other things
- 36:17Speaker 4: that she can do than be a reality television personality,
- 36:21Speaker 4: at least in this capacity. Maybe there's another format that'll
- 36:25Speaker 4: work for her. Maybe they can put her on. So
- 36:27Speaker 4: I think low key, this probably won't happen. The likelihood
- 36:29Speaker 4: of this happening is less than likely. She'd be good
- 36:33Speaker 4: on the traitors. She would, you know what I'm saying?
- 36:37Speaker 4: But leave Carlos is so funny.
- 36:38Speaker 3: No, I'm thinking. No, no, I'm thinking.
- 36:44Speaker 4: No, don't do that.
- 36:47Speaker 3: Leave with my girl. I'm thinking.
- 36:50Speaker 4: Carlos, well, do something else because the housewife ship has sailed.
- 36:54Speaker 4: The television personality ship is dead.
- 36:56Speaker 3: No, no, you can't hang me off the drive. Look, nothing.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Another one bites the dust.
- 37:05Speaker 4: Okay.
- 37:05Speaker 3: Okay. I'm thinking, okay. Listen, I'm a real producer.
- 37:15Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
- 37:17Speaker 3: I'm imagining this is why this is why it should
- 37:23Speaker 3: be happening.
- 37:25Speaker 1: Because when you said it, I'm like Raven Baxter.
- 37:30Speaker 4: When she's staring at you. You had to think of,
- 37:35Speaker 4: let me see.
- 37:35Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm picturing her at the round table. And
- 37:41Speaker 3: I'm like, how'd she do that?
- 37:44Speaker 4: You can see her sitting up there with her hands
- 37:47Speaker 4: like this. You know, she be doing what she do. Yeah,
- 37:50Speaker 4: put her on there. And we want to revive her
- 37:52Speaker 4: a little bit. But that shit that she did in
- 37:55Speaker 4: this episode in Atlanta ain't going to cut it. Don't
- 37:57Speaker 4: nobody want to see that. And that's why Nene gave
- 38:00Speaker 4: it literally zero interest. Talking about, girl, I don't do
- 38:03Speaker 4: these kind of scenes. Excuse me. Lisa, it's not a
- 38:09Speaker 4: good look, ma'am. It's not a good look. And I
- 38:12Speaker 4: watched all your shows. We've been friends for many years.
- 38:15Speaker 4: I've been supporting your work for a long time because
- 38:17Speaker 4: I'm that kind of friend. And I remember how she
- 38:20Speaker 4: fumbled that ball on your show, Hollywood Divas. I remember that.
- 38:26Speaker 4: And then people was mad she was on there anyway.
- 38:29Speaker 4: Because they was like, why is she even cast on
- 38:31Speaker 4: this show? And remember, she was because she was a
- 38:35Speaker 4: reality star. But she had presented herself as an actor.
- 38:39Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
- 38:40Speaker 3: She was in a few Roger Bob movies.
- 38:42Speaker 4: Yes, she was. Yes, she was. And so, yeah, I
- 38:46Speaker 4: just remember all that. So you had your second chance, mama.
- 38:51Speaker 4: That's how I feel. You know what I'm saying?
- 38:54Speaker 3: Okay, look. I think this, Dustin, I think in Lisa's defense,
- 39:01Speaker 3: if I may, if I may, and it's the reason
- 39:06Speaker 3: why I brought up this. Why am I doing this
- 39:16Speaker 3: today of all days?
- 39:21Speaker 4: Look, shit, man. It's Labor Day, man. We're going to
- 39:24Speaker 4: do some heavy lifting today.
- 39:26Speaker 3: Yes, yes. My wig flew off.
- 39:29Speaker 4: Okay.
- 39:30Speaker 3: This is how I feel.
- 39:32Speaker 1: I think in Lisa's defense, right?
- 39:36Speaker 4: She was drunk?
- 39:37Speaker 3: No, it's what we talked about earlier.
- 39:40Speaker 1: I think some, not all, I think some people want
- 39:46Speaker 1: the acknowledgement.
- 39:47Speaker 3: That's it.
- 39:48Speaker 1: But So I think in her defense, she wanted to
- 39:50Speaker 1: be acknowledged because nobody wants to be forgotten about.
- 39:53Speaker 2: Right?
- 39:54Speaker 1: In Nene's defense, I do believe Nene when she said,
- 39:57Speaker 1: I didn't see you.
- 39:58Speaker 3: I didn't know you were coming. And I forgot. Nene
- 40:01Speaker 3: was not lying. Like, Nene is telling the truth. She forgot. Yeah.
- 40:05Speaker 4: I believe her too.
- 40:10Speaker 1: I think Lisa Wu, look, I don't know what it
- 40:14Speaker 1: feels like to start It is the biggest Black female
- 40:19Speaker 1: ensemble ever created.
- 40:21Speaker 3: It's just Atlanta Housewives is.
- 40:22Speaker 1: So I don't know, Dustin, what it's like to be
- 40:25Speaker 1: a part of it for the first two seasons. It's
- 40:27Speaker 1: one thing to me to be like Kim Fields.
- 40:30Speaker 3: To do one season.
- 40:33Speaker 1: It's one thing to be like our girl Claudia did
- 40:35Speaker 1: one season. I think, you know, meaning, so one season
- 40:39Speaker 1: they did, one was seven, one was eight.
- 40:41Speaker 3: The show has been on for years. I think there's
- 40:44Speaker 3: something when....
- 40:47Speaker 4: You start something.
- 40:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 40:49Speaker 3: I get it.
- 40:51Speaker 4: I get it.
- 40:52Speaker 2: Big.
- 40:53Speaker 3: And then no one acknowledges you. I think that I
- 40:59Speaker 3: don't listen. I don't know how that feels, but I'm,
- 41:01Speaker 3: but I'm.
- 41:01Speaker 4: Like Effie and dream girls.
- 41:04Speaker 3: See magic.
- 41:05Speaker 4: Don't have a father.
- 41:06Speaker 1: So I think it's giving me FBT. So my point
- 41:12Speaker 1: is I am like you. I don't have a jealous spirit.
- 41:17Speaker 4: I don't have a... Hell no. I.
- 41:21Speaker 3: Listen, what people... You know this about me. I get
- 41:23Speaker 3: my rocks off seeing my friends win.
- 41:26Speaker 4: Yes, you do.
- 41:27Speaker 3: And me doing whatever I can to help them. I
- 41:29Speaker 3: take pleasure in that. So, I think... I think Lisa
- 41:35Speaker 3: was in her feelings. I think Nene handled it perfectly.
- 41:40Speaker 4: Me too.
- 41:41Speaker 3: Perfectly. She looked and she walked away... And even seeing Sharae.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Be like, come on, Nene.
- 41:48Speaker 3: Now maybe, you know, she felt, you know, a little outside.
- 41:52Speaker 1: That whole moment, I'm like, I miss these girls on
- 41:56Speaker 1: my screen.
- 41:56Speaker 3: And I think to your point, if we can get
- 41:58Speaker 3: a legacy version of that.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Let's do it, man. Let's do it. Let's do it.
- 42:02Speaker 4: Let's do it. And I thought it was so funny
- 42:04Speaker 4: when Nene was like, shit, I can't remember shit. I'm old.
- 42:07Speaker 4: I don't remember what the fuck I did 10 minutes ago.
- 42:11Speaker 4: Nene is just naturally funny as hell. That's just, She's
- 42:14Speaker 4: just naturally funny. She's not even trying to be. She's
- 42:17Speaker 4: just funny. And that is why we love watching her
- 42:20Speaker 4: on TV. That's why, man. Shout out to Paris Shea, too,
- 42:24Speaker 4: because Paris Shea had her looking beautiful at that party. Yeah.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Yes. And shout out to your twin, 50 Cent. I said,
- 42:33Speaker 3: is Dustin? Listen to me. He was.
- 42:38Speaker 1: Cynthia Bailey was 50 Cent, but she was giving me
- 42:41Speaker 1: Dustin Ross.
- 42:42Speaker 3: So, Dustin... The.
- 42:44Speaker 1: Fact that everybody wanted to sleep with Cynthia, even her
- 42:48Speaker 1: best girlfriend Luann, I.
- 42:50Speaker 3: Thought that was comical.
- 42:51Speaker 1: And the fact that Cynthia kept the character going.
- 42:57Speaker 4: All night, like the pro that she is. She loves
- 42:59Speaker 4: shit like that. Cynthia loves that kind of fun. She
- 43:03Speaker 4: loves doing creative things like that. And Cynthia is just
- 43:09Speaker 4: funny as hell. And also, Cynthia is a motherfucking supermodel.
- 43:14Speaker 4: And when you that kind of pretty, you look pretty
- 43:17Speaker 4: and beautiful in whatever the iteration is, right, or whatever
- 43:20Speaker 4: the presentation is. So she turned into a fine nigga
- 43:24Speaker 4: when she put that male costume on, and it's so
- 43:27Speaker 4: funny to me. That just show you how pretty Cynthia
- 43:29Speaker 4: actually is. Like, she's just beautiful, man.
- 43:32Speaker 3: No, stunning, stunning, stunning, stunning. We got to get into
- 43:37Speaker 3: these Salt Lake City girls.
- 43:38Speaker 4: Oh, wee, because they sure got into each other, didn't they, Carlos?
- 43:41Speaker 3: Babe.
- 43:42Speaker 1: Goddamn. B, first of all, if you ever thought they
- 43:48Speaker 1: were faking it, that shit is real deal Holyfield.
- 43:52Speaker 4: Yes, it is.
- 43:53Speaker 1: So Angie tries to hug Lisa Barlow.
- 43:57Speaker 3: Lisa Barlow is gridlocked like this. She's not hugging her back.
- 44:01Speaker 3: She's like, you know, whatever.
- 44:03Speaker 1: They get into an argument because they just taped the reunion.
- 44:10Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 44:11Speaker 3: During that time of filming.
- 44:14Speaker 1: So Lisa is upset that Mary, Angie, and Whitney was
- 44:19Speaker 1: talking about her face, alleging she got plastic surgery. Our girl,
- 44:23Speaker 1: Teresa Giudice, who had Lisa's back like.
- 44:26Speaker 4: A real sister, is like, what the hell?
- 44:29Speaker 3: You talk about somebody's look. That's not good.
- 44:31Speaker 4: That's not good.
- 44:33Speaker 1: But to see how Heather was on the attack to Lisa,
- 44:39Speaker 1: Lisa's crying. What were your thoughts about all of that
- 44:42Speaker 1: before I get to Kyle stepping in?
- 44:45Speaker 4: I have several thoughts. Number one, I love Salt Lake City.
- 44:49Speaker 4: I do. I love the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
- 44:52Speaker 4: I also understand that they're a one trick pony. That
- 44:55Speaker 4: show works because they're willing to go all the way
- 44:59Speaker 4: there in conflict. They're looking for a scandal. They're looking
- 45:02Speaker 4: for whatever they'll say, make whatever sort of. salacious, they
- 45:06Speaker 4: are cut. The best word I can use to describe
- 45:09Speaker 4: the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is that they're cutthroat.
- 45:12Speaker 4: And they're always looking for a big, you know, crescendo
- 45:17Speaker 4: moment when that, you know, as a result of an
- 45:21Speaker 4: investigation of some sort, or they're always looking to uncover
- 45:24Speaker 4: some sort of secret or lie or somebody's backstory. It's
- 45:27Speaker 4: just a very dark franchise to me, right? And I'm
- 45:31Speaker 4: not saying that in a negative way. I'm just speaking
- 45:33Speaker 4: on like what has taken place that has given that
- 45:36Speaker 4: franchise its notoriety, right? And so I wasn't surprised that
- 45:43Speaker 4: they were going at it again, you know what I'm saying?
- 45:45Speaker 4: And even in this environment where they were talking to
- 45:47Speaker 4: other people and mixing and mingling with the other housewives,
- 45:50Speaker 4: because those ladies been around, what, Carlos, seven years now? Six,
- 45:54Speaker 4: seven years, yeah. So that's a few Bible cons. That's
- 45:57Speaker 4: a lot of press opportunities where they're familiar with the
- 46:01Speaker 4: other housewives now, you know what I'm saying? But even
- 46:04Speaker 4: in that environment, they get into it. And Lisa painted
- 46:11Speaker 4: this picture as if she was the pinata of Salt
- 46:15Speaker 4: Lake City. Like, they had just been beating her until
- 46:17Speaker 4: something came out. They beat her until they were satisfied, right?
- 46:20Speaker 4: But that's not true. If you watch the show, you
- 46:23Speaker 4: already know that that's not true. Lisa would be starting
- 46:25Speaker 4: so much shit on that show and saying whatever the
- 46:27Speaker 4: fuck she wanted to say. Let's not forget that hot
- 46:30Speaker 4: mic moment.
- 46:31Speaker 3: So.
- 46:33Speaker 4: So seeing all of that, only for her to then
- 46:35Speaker 4: piss everybody that had her back off, had her back
- 46:39Speaker 4: right off in the next scene. I thought, see, lesson learned, ladies.
- 46:43Speaker 4: And Portia and Teresa both are smarter housewives than that.
- 46:48Speaker 4: They should have known. OK, yeah, this girl been cool
- 46:50Speaker 4: with us. We're not going to help her cast go
- 46:53Speaker 4: at her. But there could there could obviously be more
- 46:57Speaker 4: to this story. You know what I'm saying? Especially two
- 47:00Speaker 4: housewives who've been on the other side of everybody is
- 47:02Speaker 4: against me, right? And they felt like they had more
- 47:05Speaker 4: to their stories when it was their turn. So, like,
- 47:09Speaker 4: I don't know. I just was like, damn. I mean,
- 47:11Speaker 4: I guess they doing it for the show just to make, like,
- 47:13Speaker 4: interesting fodder for the show. Like, well, I'm going to
- 47:15Speaker 4: have Lisa's back. I don't care because I like her.
- 47:17Speaker 4: But Lisa's not an angel. Lisa is not, in Portia's words,
- 47:22Speaker 4: Lisa is not perfect by far. And so, and you see,
- 47:28Speaker 4: They defend her one day and then the very next
- 47:30Speaker 4: day she's late because she was waiting on her glam
- 47:35Speaker 4: and didn't give a fuck and said, I'm not apologizing
- 47:37Speaker 4: until I feel like it's sincere. So I'm gonna wait
- 47:40Speaker 4: till the end.
- 47:40Speaker 3: Which shocked the shit out of me. And it's funny
- 47:43Speaker 3: because you and I are avid viewers of Salt Lake City.
- 47:46Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 47:46Speaker 1: I find Lisa Brallow to be very, listen, to your point,
- 47:49Speaker 1: that cast is known for conflict and comedy.
- 47:53Speaker 3: They do both very well.
- 47:55Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 47:57Speaker 3: Listen, I watched the reunion. You did, too.
- 48:01Speaker 1: Baby, Lisa and Meredith, to me, tag-teamed that other cow.
- 48:06Speaker 3: So, to me, Lisa and Meredith won the reunion? To me.
- 48:12Speaker 4: They were straight. Seemed like they was all right to me, too.
- 48:16Speaker 1: So, I definitely think, listen, Lisa, to me, was definitely
- 48:21Speaker 1: playing up to her ultimate girls' trip cast.
- 48:26Speaker 3: I don't know why they're mad at me. I did
- 48:28Speaker 3: nothing wrong. I'm having fun.
- 48:32Speaker 1: And to your point, I think the girls are sort
- 48:33Speaker 1: of like, okay, I guess. And I also think this.
- 48:38Speaker 1: I think because, and I'm going to get to what
- 48:40Speaker 1: Portia said that made me be like, Portia clocked it.
- 48:44Speaker 1: But for Teresa, I think because Teresa knows what it's
- 48:48Speaker 1: like to have the entire cast.
- 48:49Speaker 4: Go against each other. Multiple times, multiple different casting races.
- 48:53Speaker 1: The first decade of the show, I think Lisa just
- 48:57Speaker 1: felt like maybe this is happening to Lisa, right?
- 48:59Speaker 3: I think that's how Teresa felt.
- 49:01Speaker 1: Portia, when she said, child, because sometimes I'd be defending
- 49:06Speaker 1: the wrong.
- 49:06Speaker 3: Person, they wrong, and I'd be like, Portia Nelson, like,
- 49:10Speaker 3: I have a history of being on the wrong side
- 49:12Speaker 3: of history.
- 49:13Speaker 1: So look, I ain't trying to like, for real, for real,
- 49:16Speaker 1: for real, have Lisa's back.
- 49:19Speaker 3: We'll see what happens.
- 49:20Speaker 1: But one thing I want to ask you, because I
- 49:24Speaker 1: thought this shit was funny when Kyle was like, what's
- 49:27Speaker 1: going on?
- 49:27Speaker 3: And Eva, like, she said her husband was circle jerking.
- 49:30Speaker 3: And I'm like, a circle jerk? What is that? Dustin,
- 49:34Speaker 3: can you explain to the audience the right thing?
- 49:36Speaker 4: Yep, yep.
- 49:37Speaker 3: My very conservative listeners. What is a circle jerk?
- 49:47Speaker 4: Absolutely. So a circle jerk is when a group of
- 49:50Speaker 4: men get in a room and sit around and masturbate together.
- 49:55Speaker 4: It doesn't always mean that they're touching each other. Sometimes
- 49:58Speaker 4: it does. It may or may not mean that they're
- 50:00Speaker 4: touching each other or touching other people. But it's a
- 50:03Speaker 4: room full of men masturbating. And they call it a
- 50:07Speaker 4: circle jerk because essentially it's like a people group sitting
- 50:09Speaker 4: in a circle. Because I guess that's what people think
- 50:12Speaker 4: you do when you get together in a group. But
- 50:15Speaker 4: in jerking, they're dicks. Jacking off. That's what it is.
- 50:19Speaker 4: It's Patreon. So, yeah. That's how I talk for real, y'all. So, yeah,
- 50:26Speaker 4: that's what it is. You know what I'm saying? They
- 50:28Speaker 4: get together and jack off. Okay. And so accusing someone's
- 50:33Speaker 4: husband of being part of that. implies that they're a
- 50:36Speaker 4: freak they into some sort of like secret sexual behavior
- 50:40Speaker 4: that may or may not include some homoerotic or homosexual
- 50:44Speaker 4: elements you know it just calls a lot of things
- 50:46Speaker 4: in a question without actually posing the question so that's
- 50:50Speaker 4: why people use it to insinuate that well you know
- 50:53Speaker 4: he being circle jerks oh well damn is he gay
- 50:56Speaker 4: is he bi they swing are they open it just
- 50:58Speaker 4: it's a floodgate of questions after that so that's what
- 51:01Speaker 4: that is but you like that carlos.
- 51:05Speaker 3: I do. Mm-hmm.
- 51:09Speaker 4: So there you have it.
- 51:11Speaker 3: Dustin, thank you for your education.
- 51:12Speaker 4: You're welcome.
- 51:16Speaker 1: Like you said, Giselle reads Lisa for Phil on that
- 51:20Speaker 1: bus because I don't think the world knows this and
- 51:25Speaker 1: maybe Dustin, you don't maybe remember, but I.
- 51:29Speaker 3: It's funny. So that weekend in Atlanta for... days. It
- 51:35Speaker 3: was an impossible snowstorm. So people were at the grocery stores.
- 51:40Speaker 1: The shelves were empty because everybody in Atlanta had to
- 51:45Speaker 1: stay at home. I actually was supposed to interview a
- 51:50Speaker 1: little team on my Patreon.
- 51:53Speaker 3: I was scheduled to interview Dr. Simone and Cecil.
- 51:57Speaker 4: Oh, really? That same weekend, huh?
- 52:00Speaker 3: Yes.
- 52:00Speaker 4: Okay.
- 52:02Speaker 3: And Lizzie was with me at the time.
- 52:06Speaker 4: Love you, Lizzie.
- 52:08Speaker 1: And maybe the day before, she said, Carlos, I just
- 52:12Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable with you flying to Atlanta for this interview.
- 52:15Speaker 1: I don't think you should be... You shouldn't risk it.
- 52:21Speaker 3: Long story short, I had to cancel, but then Dr.
- 52:24Speaker 1: Simone and Cecil had other travel arrangements, so we never
- 52:27Speaker 1: could get the interview.
- 52:29Speaker 3: So my point in saying all that is it wasn't exaggerated.
- 52:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 52:34Speaker 1: So Giselle's passion for the lateness really was because.
- 52:40Speaker 3: And she's not lying. She's not lying. If they missed
- 52:43Speaker 3: that flight.
- 52:44Speaker 4: They were fucked.
- 52:45Speaker 3: They were fucked.
- 52:46Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 52:47Speaker 1: Flights were grounded. It was an insane weekend. And I'm
- 52:50Speaker 1: shocked that they pulled off the alter ego party. But again,
- 52:54Speaker 1: typical Atlanta.
- 52:57Speaker 3: It was maybe... this much.
- 52:59Speaker 4: Snow on the ground right and they're acting like it's
- 53:02Speaker 4: the polar vortex and shit yeah so that was.
- 53:06Speaker 3: That uh okay the last thing we have to get.
- 53:09Speaker 1: Into okay potomac yes and my disappointment yes in the
- 53:16Speaker 1: fact that um i know for a fact that giselle
- 53:19Speaker 1: candace and ashley had a little situation we didn't see
- 53:22Speaker 1: it And listen.
- 53:23Speaker 3: I'm not happy.
- 53:25Speaker 1: It was when Giselle, first of all, listen, to be
- 53:30Speaker 1: committed all night with this microphone, Giselle.
- 53:35Speaker 4: Hilarious.
- 53:36Speaker 3: She stayed in character.
- 53:38Speaker 1: So to talk, she brought Stacey, shock, she brought Stacey
- 53:43Speaker 1: to the couch, Ashley... Robin, and she marvels at the
- 53:49Speaker 1: fact that Robin, Ashley, we're.
- 53:51Speaker 3: The OGs, and Stacey like, okay. And then they reminisce.
- 53:55Speaker 3: Candace is nowhere to be found.
- 53:58Speaker 1: Candace clearly tipped by a producer, shout out producers, said,
- 54:01Speaker 1: go over there. She realizes y'all having a ponderosa of
- 54:05Speaker 1: Potomac without.
- 54:05Speaker 3: Me, that's crazy. Candace walks by Giselle. Giselle looked at
- 54:09Speaker 3: Candace like, and would not give her nothing.
- 54:14Speaker 1: They played these flashbacks of Potomac's greatest hits.
- 54:19Speaker 4: And then you saw.
- 54:21Speaker 3: This odd moment.
- 54:25Speaker 4: You're there, you're there, you're there. Whatever that Candace and
- 54:27Speaker 4: Ashley were saying to one another that made no sense.
- 54:30Speaker 4: I'm not sure. Listen, choices were made in the editing bay.
- 54:34Speaker 4: And I'm not sure why those choices were made, but
- 54:36Speaker 4: they were made. And this is one of the times,
- 54:40Speaker 4: sometimes you can know too much about shit, you know,
- 54:43Speaker 4: and it ends up, decreasing the enjoyment, right? And this
- 54:46Speaker 4: is one of them times where I wish I was
- 54:48Speaker 4: aloof to a lot of the production knowledge that I have,
- 54:53Speaker 4: because I know that took place and I know that
- 54:57Speaker 4: it was chosen not to be included. So now there's
- 54:59Speaker 4: a disappointment that you just expressed that exists, right? Where
- 55:02Speaker 4: if we didn't know anything about that, or if we
- 55:05Speaker 4: didn't know how television production worked and how to put
- 55:08Speaker 4: an episode of television together, we would not have noticed.
- 55:12Speaker 4: that there was a random exchange between Ashley and Candace
- 55:16Speaker 4: that had not been explained. I wish I was stupid.
- 55:20Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? I wish I was because
- 55:24Speaker 4: now I'm over here like, fuck, what the fuck happened?
- 55:26Speaker 4: Why didn't they show that shit? I wanted to see that, man.
- 55:30Speaker 4: And we haven't gotten a new Candace argument in a
- 55:33Speaker 4: couple seasons because she's been gone and that was one of, listen,
- 55:37Speaker 4: love her or hate her, Candace is a verbal assassin
- 55:40Speaker 4: because she's smart. And she's articulate and well-read. And she
- 55:44Speaker 4: knows how to use language in whatever way that she
- 55:48Speaker 4: wants to. And I respect that because I know my
- 55:51Speaker 4: way around the source as well. And so I'm upset
- 55:55Speaker 4: that we were robbed of that. We should have seen
- 55:57Speaker 4: her cussing her ass out because I know that's what
- 55:59Speaker 4: she did.
- 56:00Speaker 3: She did.
- 56:00Speaker 4: No, they had a moment.
- 56:01Speaker 3: They had a moment.
- 56:02Speaker 1: And I was not happy. And I still don't know
- 56:06Speaker 1: why they didn't choose it.
- 56:07Speaker 4: But they did it.
- 56:09Speaker 3: But the last thing is, I thought it was nice. Dustin,
- 56:15Speaker 3: can you tell me your thoughts?
- 56:17Speaker 4: Okay. I feel like you already know my thoughts, but
- 56:20Speaker 4: I don't know the questions. So let's see.
- 56:24Speaker 1: Ashley said to Giselle, there will be no us without Giselle.
- 56:30Speaker 3: She is the glue that keeps us together.
- 56:36Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, you were right. You were right. And
- 56:39Speaker 4: Ashley proved it. Listen, and I will say this. Karen
- 56:43Speaker 4: is running shit now over there at Potomac. But when
- 56:47Speaker 4: that show came on, Giselle was the star of the show.
- 56:50Speaker 4: She was the reason we watched. We didn't like Karen
- 56:52Speaker 4: at first. We didn't start liking Karen until what? The
- 56:55Speaker 4: third or fourth season, something like that. Season four. I
- 56:58Speaker 4: think season four is when everybody really started fucking with Karen.
- 57:01Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? Seasons three and four, I
- 57:03Speaker 4: think are when we really started like liking Karen. And
- 57:06Speaker 4: then she just became, she just took over as the,
- 57:09Speaker 4: as the, the, you know, running the show, the queen
- 57:12Speaker 4: of the show, because Giselle started pissing everybody off. But
- 57:15Speaker 4: when that show first came on, even with Giselle, her
- 57:18Speaker 4: having bad behavior and all of that, she was the
- 57:21Speaker 4: star of the show. It wasn't Robin. It wasn't anybody.
- 57:24Speaker 4: It wasn't Ashley. They were all great in their own rights.
- 57:27Speaker 4: But when it came to the reason we watch, it
- 57:29Speaker 4: was Giselle. That's just the facts. It's honest. So Ashley,
- 57:34Speaker 4: you know, I'm going to give it up when it's
- 57:36Speaker 4: right and when the truth is being told. And that's
- 57:39Speaker 4: the truth. Ashley was right.
- 57:41Speaker 3: Yes, she was.
- 57:42Speaker 4: That ain't what she said, but I think that's what
- 57:44Speaker 4: she meant. So I can say Ashley was right. You
- 57:47Speaker 4: know what I'm saying?
- 57:51Speaker 2: Yes, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
- 57:54Speaker 1: So, Raindrops, let us know your thoughts on this episode.
- 57:58Speaker 1: And look, me and Dustin, make sure to take time.
- 58:01Speaker 3: Out of our holiday.

- 58:28Speaker 4: I'm telling you right now. I don't want to hear it.
- 58:32Speaker 4: I'm not going to hear it because I know I
- 58:33Speaker 4: don't read it anyway. But I'm talking all I'm going
- 58:36Speaker 4: to say because I know what people want me to
- 58:38Speaker 4: talk about. And what I'm going to say is, what
- 58:41Speaker 4: I can promise you, is that I'm going to review
- 58:45Speaker 4: everything I see on that show. Okay? And I've been
- 58:51Speaker 4: watching since season one, episode one. I remember when the
- 58:55Speaker 4: shit came out. So I know the story and all
- 58:59Speaker 4: players involved. So I can't wait to review the upcoming
- 59:04Speaker 4: season of Love and Marriage Huntsville.
