- 1:00Speaker 1: like Originally you aren't really excited because the trip is
- 1:03Speaker 1: like so far out. We've been talking about this for months,
- 1:05Speaker 1: but now that it's here, is days away, I am rete.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Oh, I'm so ready to just be pool side. But
- 1:12Speaker 3: let's get on into lateiest.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Let's still stay at work while we are here, So
- 1:16Speaker 1: switch it on over into the latest. Now, let's talk
- 1:19Speaker 1: Porsche Williams from Real Housewives Atlanta, because I've reported a
- 1:23Speaker 1: bit on her separation and then divorce, finally being a
- 1:28Speaker 1: divorce from Simon Gulbadhia. Now, Simon was the guy or
- 1:34Speaker 1: the man that Porsia was in a relationship with. She
- 1:37Speaker 1: remembered there was told tobacco about whether she was dating
- 1:40Speaker 1: him or should have been dating him or should not
- 1:42Speaker 1: have been dating her because he was married to Fallon,
- 1:44Speaker 1: who was another one of the girls on Real Housees
- 1:46Speaker 1: of Atlanta who the whole storyline happened where it was
- 1:49Speaker 1: like maybe it seemed like current Porsche were friends all
- 1:50Speaker 1: the things, right, this is the Nigerian man that she's
- 1:53Speaker 1: been married to. They were together for fifteen months back
- 1:56Speaker 1: in February. Porsche filed for divorce after those that fifteen
- 2:00Speaker 1: months because Porsche said she felt like there was just
- 2:03Speaker 1: some things that were not adding up for her, okay
- 2:06Speaker 1: at all. Now, when she said that there were some
- 2:08Speaker 1: things that were not adding up for her, she was
- 2:10Speaker 1: very honest about what it was. She said that money
- 2:13Speaker 1: wise and just you know, different things about his citizenship
- 2:17Speaker 1: and that type of stuff was it just wasn't making sense.
- 2:20Speaker 1: The sense wasn't making sense. And Porchie was like, look,
- 2:23Speaker 1: well from what she told us. Anyway, she came over
- 2:25Speaker 1: to the breakfast club and when she told us there
- 2:27Speaker 1: was that she tried to talk to him. She says,
- 2:29Speaker 1: you know, I didn't want to leave him. I thought
- 2:31Speaker 1: that this was going to be forever. And to be
- 2:32Speaker 1: honest with y'all, I know, the housewives get a lot
- 2:34Speaker 1: of like, you know, they get dragged for dating and
- 2:39Speaker 1: how fast they you know, marry and divorce and all
- 2:42Speaker 1: the things, not just the her Housees of Atlanta, but
- 2:44Speaker 1: all of the girls on those franchise shows, because people
- 2:48Speaker 1: always feel like they're doing it for a storyline. I
- 2:51Speaker 1: don't know Porsche personally asked personally as like a friend
- 2:54Speaker 1: in her life or whatever, just met her through our interview,
- 2:57Speaker 1: but I feel like when we interviewed her, it felt
- 3:01Speaker 1: sincere to me. Now, Porch is a og real housewife, right,
- 3:04Speaker 1: so she's good at what she does, but it felt
- 3:07Speaker 1: sincere to me. I felt like she really was in
- 3:09Speaker 1: love with him. I felt like she really wanted to
- 3:10Speaker 1: be with us Simon, and I felt her disdain for Like, Look,
- 3:15Speaker 1: I can't live my life not knowing what you really
- 3:17Speaker 1: got going on. I have a daughter, I have businesses.
- 3:21Speaker 1: You know, I have a brand to protect. I need
- 3:23Speaker 1: to know. And since I can't know that, and you know,
- 3:26Speaker 1: I'm basically living in fear of what I don't know.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Coming back to haunt us, I got to get on
- 3:31Speaker 1: the bout of here. And she's been very emotional about it.
- 3:34Speaker 1: She was emotional on Real Housewives Vitlanta about it. She's
- 3:36Speaker 1: been emotional in interviews. She sat down and talk to
- 3:39Speaker 1: People magazine and got teared up. Let's say listen to that.
- 3:42Speaker 3: It's lonely. I can't connect with other men. You know,
- 3:45Speaker 3: it's like people trying to introduce me.
- 3:47Speaker 2: But just when it's not the same, it's not the same.
- 3:50Speaker 2: I'm going to do it different this time. I'm gonna
- 3:52Speaker 2: be alone until I'm whole, and then when I'm whole,
- 3:57Speaker 2: then I will you know, open myself back up so
- 4:00Speaker 2: I don't make the same mistake again.
- 4:01Speaker 1: When you go through a bad enough breakup, you're like,
- 4:04Speaker 1: I don't like nobody.
- 4:05Speaker 3: I was sitting, I was like, do I like women enough?
- 4:07Speaker 2: Can I get with a woman? Like?
- 4:09Speaker 3: Who can come in and fill this void?
- 4:11Speaker 2: Like?
- 4:11Speaker 1: So I'm saying all this to say, I think your girl,
- 4:15Speaker 1: I think she really did love this man.
- 4:18Speaker 3: I think she really did see, you know, a future
- 4:20Speaker 3: with this man, and it just went south.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Now, the people have been dragging Porsche for a long
- 4:25Speaker 1: time about the fact that she decided to step away
- 4:28Speaker 1: after these fifteen months. They been trying to make it
- 4:29Speaker 1: seem like this is all four storyline, But there was
- 4:31Speaker 1: a story that broke today via US Weekly, and the story,
- 4:36Speaker 1: to me, in my opinion, just confirms everything Portia has
- 4:39Speaker 1: been saying. Now it's hell because Porscha, I'm sure, was
- 4:43Speaker 1: celebrating the fact that the divorce was final. She's you know,
- 4:46Speaker 1: now legally single, and all the things she got her
- 4:49Speaker 1: home that you know him and her were arguing about.
- 4:51Speaker 2: The home.
- 4:52Speaker 3: Baby girl got her seven million dollar home. She able
- 4:54Speaker 3: to film in the house.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Life is good. She's in Atlanta, she's doing the thing.
- 4:57Speaker 1: She's Porscha Williams, and then boom, here comes this lean
- 5:01Speaker 1: against the house for over two hundred thousand dollars because
- 5:05Speaker 1: according to Simon's divorce attorney, her name is Anyema Fieri.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Please forgive me if I'm pronouncing your nay wrong, and
- 5:14Speaker 1: I've spoken to her as well. I've spoken to her
- 5:16Speaker 1: several times. You know she's reaching out on the reporting
- 5:19Speaker 1: of all of this because she was Simon's divorce attorney
- 5:21Speaker 1: in the divorce from Porsche. Let me tell you how
- 5:24Speaker 1: crazy this is, how ironic this is. Right, So Simon
- 5:28Speaker 1: and Porscha get divorced. Simon gets a divorce attorney to
- 5:31Speaker 1: go through with the divorce. Simon loses that argument around
- 5:37Speaker 1: the divorce. He was trying to make it where the
- 5:40Speaker 1: the pre nut wasn't going to be pursued, like the
- 5:43Speaker 1: prenup was going to be disregarded. He could get his
- 5:46Speaker 1: home back, he wouldn't have to pay certain things. The
- 5:48Speaker 1: judge said, Uh, nope, not too fast. Get that woman
- 5:53Speaker 1: what she's asking for because you signed this agreement. This
- 5:55Speaker 1: was a prenup that you guys both agree to. So
- 5:58Speaker 1: Porsche was able to keep the home. Basically, she was
- 6:00Speaker 1: able to live in the home, and the home is
- 6:02Speaker 1: in her possession, but it was two things she had
- 6:04Speaker 1: to do.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Either she had to buy.
- 6:06Speaker 1: The home or his portion of it from him outright,
- 6:09Speaker 1: or when she sold the home, fifty percent of the
- 6:12Speaker 1: equity would be hers, but the other fifty percent would
- 6:14Speaker 1: go to Simon.
- 6:15Speaker 3: So she's in this home, granted.
- 6:17Speaker 1: I mean even with all of that, what she'll probably
- 6:20Speaker 1: do is is decide to stay there, give the equity
- 6:23Speaker 1: whatever she decides to do, however that goes. But the
- 6:27Speaker 1: irony of this is the same attorney that Portia was
- 6:32Speaker 1: just battling the court to get away and be disattached
- 6:35Speaker 1: from Simon now has a lean on the home that
- 6:37Speaker 1: she is in possession of and living in. And basically
- 6:40Speaker 1: the reason why this happened is because pur the report,
- 6:43Speaker 1: there's over two hundred thousand dollars that was old to
- 6:46Speaker 1: Miss Fiery and Simon's attorney, and she got tired of
- 6:51Speaker 1: trying to collect it.
- 6:52Speaker 3: She went to she said, look, he owes me this money.
- 6:55Speaker 1: I did my job, regardless if he's happy with the
- 6:57Speaker 1: job I did or not. Because Simon, i was told,
- 7:00Speaker 1: was very upset when the judge decided to side with
- 7:04Speaker 1: Portia and to uphold their prenup. Regardless though that's not
- 7:09Speaker 1: your I mean, I was gonna say that it's not your
- 7:11Speaker 1: attorney's fault. Some people will argue that it is depending
- 7:13Speaker 1: on how the attorney litigated or went about the case.
- 7:17Speaker 1: But regardless, the attorney had a job to do. They
- 7:20Speaker 1: did the job. You got to pay your attorney. I
- 7:23Speaker 1: don't know what their agreement on the back and was.
- 7:25Speaker 1: I did reach out to Miss Fiery to just try
- 7:28Speaker 1: and get some more clarity.
- 7:29Speaker 3: On how were the payments happening.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Was this what you charge for the total you know,
- 7:34Speaker 1: duration of the mediation or the litigation of you know,
- 7:37Speaker 1: the back and forth of their prenup.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Was this just a final payment he owed you? What
- 7:42Speaker 3: was the fall off?
- 7:43Speaker 1: Like what exactly happened where you got to a point
- 7:45Speaker 1: where because you know, she obviously was still in communication
- 7:47Speaker 1: with him, I'd been told that he was going to
- 7:51Speaker 1: kind of like attest the prenup situation, like the ruling,
- 7:54Speaker 1: like he wanted a judge to know that he wasn't
- 7:56Speaker 1: happy with it, that he thought that it should be
- 7:58Speaker 1: taken back and reviewed again, and so there was going
- 8:01Speaker 1: to be more work that this attorney had to do
- 8:03Speaker 1: for him, is basically my point. So how do we
- 8:05Speaker 1: get from that to you owe me over two hundred
- 8:08Speaker 1: thousand dollars and the only way the exact amount is
- 8:11Speaker 1: two hundred and five thousand, eight hundred and eighty four
- 8:13Speaker 1: dollars and twenty five cents for services provided on his
- 8:16Speaker 1: divorce from Portshe williams, how do you get from your
- 8:19Speaker 1: fighting for him and everything he's asking for in court
- 8:22Speaker 1: to run my money to where my money at hand?
- 8:26Speaker 1: Out big lea. Now I didn't hear back from her,
- 8:30Speaker 1: so I don't have the answer to that yet. But
- 8:33Speaker 1: what she's doing is the attorney she says, look, you
- 8:37Speaker 1: have this house that's worth over seven million dollars, run
- 8:40Speaker 1: me my two hundred k. So basically they put the
- 8:43Speaker 1: lien that's been put on the house, and what normally
- 8:45Speaker 1: happens in this situation is they will either wait again
- 8:48Speaker 1: until Portia decides to sell the home or you know,
- 8:51Speaker 1: any money made from the home on the actual possession
- 8:56Speaker 1: or ownership on the home.
- 8:58Speaker 3: The lian will then be paid off.
- 9:00Speaker 1: But it's just ironic because Portlin did all this and
- 9:04Speaker 1: separate herself from this man in his business and or
- 9:07Speaker 1: lack thereof, because he's claiming that he had this business
- 9:10Speaker 1: worth over two hundred and ninety thousand dollars and all
- 9:13Speaker 1: of a sudden, the business just makes no money.
- 9:16Speaker 3: The business just doesn't exist.
- 9:18Speaker 1: I mean, not that the business doesn't exist, but what
- 9:19Speaker 1: Simon is saying is that when he got locked up
- 9:21Speaker 1: by Ice, he's been unable to keep the business afloat.
- 9:25Speaker 1: He's been unable to make money, and therefore he shouldn't
- 9:28Speaker 1: be responsible for certain things financially.
- 9:31Speaker 3: So Simon Wobodia has this company.
- 9:33Speaker 1: It's called sime Co, and the company is valued at
- 9:35Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety six million dollars. But Simon was
- 9:39Speaker 1: basically claiming that because he was detained by Ice for
- 9:42Speaker 1: all those months, he was unable to run the business,
- 9:44Speaker 1: so they completely lost all of their value. A judge
- 9:48Speaker 1: is like, I'm not buying that. It's no way you
- 9:51Speaker 1: dissolved two hundred and ninety six million dollars in the
- 9:54Speaker 1: business over months of you being detained because you were
- 9:57Speaker 1: living in a different country. After for a while you
- 10:00Speaker 1: were living in a different country, you were able to
- 10:02Speaker 1: figure out the business and running the business. You just
- 10:04Speaker 1: weren't here in the us, So that makes no sense.
- 10:08Speaker 3: So I don't know.
- 10:09Speaker 1: It seems to me like what Porscha was, you know,
- 10:11Speaker 1: saying in the beginning of this that people didn't believe
- 10:13Speaker 1: her about, like you know, there's something going on here
- 10:16Speaker 1: with the money, with the numbers, and I just don't
- 10:19Speaker 1: want to be a part of it. I know it's unfortunate.
- 10:21Speaker 1: She's probably so annoyed that she's still having to deal
- 10:24Speaker 1: with the issues that are attached to her now strange
- 10:28Speaker 1: husband Simon Gobadia, Right, but does this or does this
- 10:31Speaker 1: not prove what she was saying She told Joan, y'all
- 10:34Speaker 1: didn't believe her.
- 10:34Speaker 3: Y'all thought it was off for a storyline.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Now boom, she got to lean on the house that
- 10:38Speaker 1: she fought so hard to live in and be able
- 10:40Speaker 1: to feel in.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Found Portsie.
- 10:42Speaker 1: I need to get rid of this house. I need
- 10:43Speaker 1: to get out of here. I need new energy. I
- 10:45Speaker 1: don't want unattached to him. Beautiful house though, fifteen thousand
- 10:49Speaker 1: square feet, five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, gorgeous home, but I
- 10:54Speaker 1: don't know it just for me.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Moving into a new place, a new job.
- 10:59Speaker 1: It's like reset and sometimes you need that after, you know,
- 11:02Speaker 1: leaving a situation and maybe this is the sign Portie,
- 11:06Speaker 1: get out of there girl. Now, in other news, in
- 11:16Speaker 1: the Latest, we have Arizona iced tea. Now, y'all are
- 11:19Speaker 1: probably wondering how Arizona iced tea ended up on the
- 11:22Speaker 1: Latest with Lona Rosa, because it is a can, it
- 11:25Speaker 1: is not a person. Well, baby, the way that the
- 11:28Speaker 1: world is set up right now, even aluminum cans can
- 11:31Speaker 1: make the news because what is happening right now is
- 11:35Speaker 1: Arizona iced tea. You guys know, I hope you guys know.
- 11:38Speaker 1: If you do not know, you need to go and
- 11:39Speaker 1: try one. They've religiously always been ninety nine cents, to
- 11:42Speaker 1: the point where the branding of the can has ninety
- 11:45Speaker 1: nine cents on the can, like it's just synonymous with
- 11:48Speaker 1: Arizona iced teas. So they've been ninety nine cents. But
- 11:52Speaker 1: now the owner of the company is having to consider
- 11:56Speaker 1: whether or not the cans might increase in price. Now,
- 11:59Speaker 1: if they were to increase, it's estimated that they would
- 12:02Speaker 1: go to about a dollar or ninety nine cent. But
- 12:04Speaker 1: for over thirty years, they've been around since nineteen ninety.
- 12:09Speaker 1: For over thirty years, the cans have been ninety nine cent.
- 12:12Speaker 1: And now because Trump and his tariffs. The owner of
- 12:15Speaker 1: the can is having to do some rethinking.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Now.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Nothing has been officially done yet. This story came out
- 12:21Speaker 1: of a few days ago, but it's starting to make
- 12:23Speaker 1: the rounds because I don't know. I think Arizona iced teas.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Y'all drink Arizon iced? Anybody here? Yeah, everybody in here
- 12:30Speaker 1: say yes, Arizona iced teas. I think it had become
- 12:33Speaker 1: such a staple and we didn't even know what. I'm
- 12:35Speaker 1: trying to think, Like, what else is like a stape?
- 12:37Speaker 3: Oh?
- 12:37Speaker 1: Some flower seeds. I feel like some flower seeds were
- 12:40Speaker 1: a staple too. It was like a corner store gas,
- 12:42Speaker 1: that shit staple that were twenty five cents. Y'all remember
- 12:44Speaker 1: when David, some flower seeds used to be twenty five cents? Wow,
- 12:47Speaker 1: I sound, oh, y'all remember when the some flower seeds
- 12:50Speaker 1: used to be twenty five cents?
- 12:51Speaker 3: You know how your mom.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Be like, because I remember when we used to pay
- 12:54Speaker 1: four dollars for cable. That's how we sound right now.
- 12:57Speaker 1: But I mean, it's just what we're going through, to
- 13:00Speaker 1: be honest with y'all. Like some tr receas used to
- 13:02Speaker 1: be twenty five cents.
- 13:03Speaker 3: That is no longer.
- 13:04Speaker 1: The Arizona iced teas are still at this time as
- 13:07Speaker 1: of today, ninety nine cents, but the way Trump is
- 13:10Speaker 1: set up, things may increase because Arizona iced tea cans
- 13:13Speaker 1: are made with aluminum, and a lot of the aluminum
- 13:15Speaker 1: that they're made with are imported from Canada. So Trump
- 13:19Speaker 1: back in June announced that he would be doubling tariffs
- 13:22Speaker 1: on imported still in aluminum to fifty percent from the
- 13:25Speaker 1: twenty five percent rate that was announced in February. Now,
- 13:30Speaker 1: Arizona the brand uses more than one hundred million pounds
- 13:33Speaker 1: of aluminum a year for its cans, and about twenty
- 13:36Speaker 1: percent of that comes from Canada. Now the owner, his
- 13:39Speaker 1: name is mister Votego, mister Votegio.
- 13:42Speaker 3: I'm horrible with names. I hope I said that right.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Mister Votegio says that he's hopeful that, you know, the
- 13:47Speaker 1: tariff's dispute in the back and forth will settle and
- 13:50Speaker 1: it will be resolved so he won't have to up anything.
- 13:53Speaker 3: But he did say that if.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Not, unfortunately, his customers are just gonna have to pay
- 13:57Speaker 1: the price. Are gonna have to fill the price in thatckets. Now,
- 14:01Speaker 1: this is like, you know, it maybe begin to think,
- 14:03Speaker 1: of course, you know, the price of eggs have went up.
- 14:06Speaker 3: We know, just groceries in general have went up.
- 14:09Speaker 1: My grandmother was complaining to me the other day just
- 14:11Speaker 1: about the utility bills, you know, being different prices and
- 14:17Speaker 1: you know, different things. And I think a lot of
- 14:18Speaker 1: people and a lot of businesses are seeing exactly what
- 14:21Speaker 1: Arizona iced T is seeing right now. It cost more
- 14:24Speaker 1: to do what you normally do, so you have to
- 14:27Speaker 1: charge more to be able to sustain. Now a brand
- 14:30Speaker 1: like Coca Cola, who also faced this issue because of
- 14:33Speaker 1: the aluminum, they've done something really smart. So Coca Cola
- 14:37Speaker 1: actually just decided to start relying more on plastic packaging
- 14:40Speaker 1: when everything was announced with the tariffs, because they didn't
- 14:43Speaker 1: want to raise their prices. A quote from the company
- 14:46Speaker 1: is that they wanted to continue to compete as affordable,
- 14:49Speaker 1: so they leaned more into plastic packaging versus other resources
- 14:53Speaker 1: that would have been affected by the tarras. I think,
- 14:57Speaker 1: and it's so crazy that forget the nuclear bombs, forget
- 15:02Speaker 1: everything else we'd have been through. Trump just called the
- 15:06Speaker 1: you know, the National Guard in DC for no reason
- 15:08Speaker 1: at all. Besides he woke up on the wrong side
- 15:09Speaker 1: of the bed forget all of that right, it's so
- 15:12Speaker 1: much happening.
- 15:13Speaker 3: It takes Arizona.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Iced Tea to get to the people to make us
- 15:17Speaker 1: understand it's real outside y'all stay safe any streets.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Now.
- 15:23Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I tell y'all every
- 15:25Speaker 1: single episode my Lowriders, it is. Look, there's a lot
- 15:29Speaker 1: of places and a lot of things to talk about,
- 15:31Speaker 1: because y'all could be anywhere with anybody talking about all
