Yeah, don't get scared. Beyonce girl.

Speaker 1 Okay, we're not Beyoncéing you. Okay,

Speaker 1 here we are with Real Housewives of Atlanta, season 16, episode 4 with the vault. On the plane, on the way home, I was watching this And

Speaker 1 there was a teenage kid sitting next to me and very Lachlan-esque, like

Speaker 1 string bean kid or whatever. He was listening to Star Wars soundtracks, like all of them.
I mean, he listened to a lot of Star Wars. I kept looking at his phone.
I was like, wow.

Speaker 1 And he was like rocking out. He was like beating his fingers to it.
He's like, yeah, fucking, yeah, fucksy. Fucking.

Speaker 1 And he was watching my Real Housewives of Atlanta. I had the captions on so he could watch it.
I think this is the first time this man man has been exposed to housewives.

Speaker 1 He was trying not to laugh, but he watched that whole episode.

Speaker 1 So out of Real Housewives of Atlanta, you know, you're reaching out, you're reaching out across the aisle to children, children from Texas, and who now love you.

Speaker 1 I was really hoping that I would connect with my flight attendant. I felt like she might watch Real Housewives in general.

Speaker 1 And I thought like she might be amused that I was watching Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Speaker 1 So like if she was starting to approach approach and like portia was on the screen i'd like pause a little bit because she's the most you know i don't know if she's seen the new episodes yet like she may not recognize kelly but she'll definitely recognize portia so i'd be like and then i'll press play as she gets really close so she sees like portia playing on my screen and then she'll like probably bond and like i don't know i don't know what i expect out of those things i do it all the time i expect to become friends with the flight attendants just like anything like some snack I'm like, can I get like a little snack?

Speaker 1 And it was a swing and a miss, like nothing. She wasn't like, oh my God.
God, I love Portia. I I was hoping there'd be like a moment like that.
Nope, nothing. So, no.
It looks like

Speaker 1 you found your whale. Yeah, I got some laughter

Speaker 1 at the screen, but I also just like the idea of Real Housewives of Atlanta in this kid's mind playing to the theme, you know, to themes of Star Wars.

Speaker 1 The galaxy far, far away.

Speaker 1 I know nothing about Carol's Oakley.

Speaker 1 In a city far, far away.

Speaker 1 Dark portion.

Speaker 1 That's just candy.

Speaker 1 Candy's doing the score.

Speaker 1 Shamilla's like, wait, I don't sing that. Don't come for me.

Speaker 1 I actually played on the Death Star. It's like, Drew, that blew up.
No, no, I played on it. Drew, you're lying.
It doesn't exist anymore. No, I'm pretty sure I just played on the Death Star.

Speaker 1 Well, I have to say,

Speaker 1 it brought me back to a lot of Star Wars music, and all of it had better vocals than Drew's song from this episode.

Speaker 1 They were all this was a funny episode. What was Drew even doing? Drew will walk into a studio and they'll play one song and she's

Speaker 1 singing something else. Like, or she'll talk the lines.
She'll be like, and then I pass him by.

Speaker 1 What are you doing? Can you sing the songs? Can you sing one note out of these songs, please, ma'am?

Speaker 1 Um, she in the recording booth, hilarious. The whole episode was hilarious.
I am absolutely loving this season so far. I hope people are loving it too.
I don't want to be an outlier.

Speaker 1 I hope that like people are feeling it. I don't know.
I haven't

Speaker 1 taken the temperature of the room just yet because it's only been four episodes. It's a little early, but I think it's really good so far.
And I was cracking up.

Speaker 1 And the thing that surprised me the most about this episode was that it looks like this was our episode um uh leading up to kenya's big flame out where she like does something to brit that like has rumored to be at worst revenge porn at best just like shady nude shots over the on the internet i don't know what it was but like we all coming into the season we're like oh kenya she just goes too far and yet i found myself at the end of this episode being like fuck brit

Speaker 1 wow she's trying so hard one of the most interesting things about this episode is that it's kind of turned people on revenge porn now people are like yeah what's wrong with revenge porn bring back

Speaker 1 revenge porn and now they're like yeah what's wrong with revenge porn who cares because this girl is so terrible um and she is terrible this girl

Speaker 1 trying so hard she's just like

Speaker 1 congratulations you're a terrible sister And you're a terrible real housewife.

Speaker 1 We don't know about wife yet because we haven't gotten that far into the show, but it's only episode four and you're already a terrible housewife and a terrible sister. I mean, that's a lot.

Speaker 1 Like, how did you turn the,

Speaker 1 how did you get people on Kenya's Kenya slash revenge porn side? How did you do that so quickly and so easily? Like, she wasn't really like, I wasn't anti-Brit coming into it.

Speaker 1 I was like, okay, Brit, Brit's doing her thing. She's trying to, you know, do whatever.
But by the end of this episode, I was like, Kenya, like, you were so thirsty.

Speaker 1 You were trying it so hard and you were going up against a legend. And like, you don't even know.
Kenny didn't even... like

Speaker 1 you're like a mosquito to Kenya. She didn't even bother really coming for you because if she really did, she would have railroaded you.
But unfortunately, next week, she goes too far, I guess.

Speaker 1 I guess it was a mosquito with the H1N1 or whatever, because Kenya, it ended up taking Kenya down in the end. So, well, we'll see.
Well, yeah, it does.

Speaker 1 Is that a mosquito? No, I don't think

Speaker 1 I gave you West Nile. Yeah, hilarious.
I was a mosquito with the West Nile virus. There, just episode.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 We are not going to sell her the name of H1N1, but

Speaker 1 we'll see. Obviously, next week, the pendulum could swing right back.
It probably will. But for right now,

Speaker 1 it's pretty amazing. It's a miracle that you, you know, and as I get older, I don't believe in miracles as much.
Well, that's not true. I do.
But I'd like to say I don't believe in miracles as much.

Speaker 1 But I'm Team Twirl. Me? It's been a long time.

Speaker 1 And you're also making Kenya look reasonable, which has not happened on this show in a very long time, where Kenya looks like the reasonable, sane person in an argument. She's like, what?

Speaker 1 What are you even fighting about, lady? She asked you about a wedding band. Oh, no.
Oh, killer. Get out a pistol.
You're an idiot, Britt.

Speaker 1 Why didn't they fire Britt right away? Like, let's not even wait till that moment in the show. Or should we just wait? Should we just wait till the end?

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I'm not even sure what you're asking it. And are you saying we as a podcast? I think that's the first pistol for kind of threatening gun violence or whatever.

Speaker 1 And I say gun violence because she didn't technically threaten it, but she did say like, well, I have my pistol. So,

Speaker 1 I mean, if Kenya's going to get fired for putting some boobies up there, she should get fired for threatening murder, you know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, according to Married to Medicine, it's attempted assault and battery. So, if Dr.
Gregory had any say, you know, he would come out and sing his solo, that's some bullshit

Speaker 1 if he had some say or if he had some song, he and Dr. Scott should really do a duet together.

Speaker 1 Um, Andy was like, Do you guys want to start a band?

Speaker 1 Of course, Scott was the first one to be like, I'm down. I'm down.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 the court of Ben, Ben and Ronnie, the Ben Ron court,

Speaker 1 the 9th District Circuit of Ben Ron Court is in recess and

Speaker 1 will

Speaker 1 return or adjourn or unadjourn after next week's episode. And then I'm sure

Speaker 1 we will then have more

Speaker 1 adjudications to dole out to everyone. But before we break for recess, I I will say revenge porn is bad, but threatening gun violence is worse.
So, team twirl on this one.

Speaker 1 And I would like to see Kenya continue to pretend she has a beauty shop that's open because everything that I've read says that beauty shop is not open ever.

Speaker 1 So, I want to know: is this just a set piece? And she's like, I dropped 400K into it. I'm like, Well, you dropped four more than that in a mark, and you married him.

Speaker 1 So, I don't, I don't know what to tell you, but I'm glad you paid for that house. Yeah, and then she got fired not long after.

Speaker 1 Um, uh, uh yeah well we'll we'll we'll see i forgot i was gonna say but you know what that's okay you know what that's okay because um just like the de master over here because and then because we i literally just walked about taxes no i don't think people realize it's not like oh we we we flew in before like i walked in my door i i i got off the plane i went and got a sandwich and a coffee and i ate my sandwich i walked in the door and sat down and here we are like i have not even entered i have not entered the depths i have not seen my kitchen i don't even know what's going on in there there could be dance from the weekend i don't know so i'm i'm not saying i'm not saying this to be like look at me i'm a martyr although i am i am always a martyr

Speaker 1 that's the jesus story jesus yeah was basically jesus crucified because he was talking about housewives non-stop they're like yeah we're gonna make you talk about housewives

Speaker 1 jesus died for your podcast but um it's more uh to say that i'm looney tunes right now because now i'm fighting the twin impulses of like food coma, airplane stuff, but also extreme caffeine.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, I'm ready. Let's dive in.
Let's dive into this because I've got a lot of opinions and I'm just going to let them loose throughout the podcast instead of before the podcast. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 1 So let's get going. Here we go.
The vault. The episode's called The Vault.
I'm called Bank of Trimerica because of it. It's an episode about Carrie Struggle, The Vault.

Speaker 1 Let that sink in.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 I was like, hey,

Speaker 1 didn't she hit that girl in the knees with a

Speaker 1 bat? No, that was Terry Struggle. That's Tanya and Nancy.
Terry Shrugged

Speaker 1 won a gold medal, much like Sonya Richardson Ross, former cast member of this show,

Speaker 1 and gymnastics. Remember, she did the vault and she had a broken leg, and she

Speaker 1 did it in Atlanta, no less, I believe. I believe that was the Atlanta Olympics.

Speaker 1 I'm still bitter that all those Olympians get on cereal boxes. I'm like, what about blockers and podcasters? Where's my cereal box?

Speaker 1 It's about time someone said it. And now we've had it.

Speaker 1 Care about Carrie Struggle. Well, you can jump.

Speaker 1 Okay, so here we are. We start with

Speaker 1 Angela Britt

Speaker 1 walking. with a mimosa.
Oh, no, with the mimosa the dog. Oh, and this is another reason I can't with Britt.
Why? Let the dog walk.

Speaker 1 I mean, the dog is stuck in your house all day listening to you complain about granite granite instead of marble, okay? Because your husband is too cheap to let you get the finishes you want.

Speaker 1 And now we have to watch you carry the dog. She has a baby stroller for her dog.
The dog's outside, let it walk around.

Speaker 1 And then when they sit down, she's like, okay, now you can come sit on my lap, dog. I'm like, oh my God, just let the dog live its life.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 I just, for some reason, it really bothers me that the dog's named Mimosa. I can't explain it.

Speaker 1 If you told me, if literally anyone in their audience said that they had a dog named Mimosa, I'd be like, oh, that's funny. But for some reason, Britt naming her dog Mimosa, it bothers me.

Speaker 1 I think I'm still like feeling the aftershocks of that cater dinner she had last week where she had her assistant dress up in black tie for no reason. And then they served like the lobster tails.

Speaker 1 So I think that she has like this thing where she tries to be fancy, but she doesn't quite know how to do it. So she's like, I'm going to name my dog Mimosa.
And you're like,

Speaker 1 okay.

Speaker 1 Sure. Yeah, she's trying, she's trying to sound chishy chishy, and she's just, she sounds kind of trashy, you know, because mimosas aren't good.
And I'm sorry, I don't care what anybody says.

Speaker 1 Mimosas, and everyone's like, it's the healthy drink for bread. It's the healthy alcoholic drink.
Just pour fucking vodka in your cocoa puffs like the rest of us. It's a fancy-ass drink.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've definitely gotten out of my vodka. I've definitely gotten to that place in my life where like mimosas are nice, but why not just drink champagne?

Speaker 1 Which, by the way, sounded very much like it would be a tagline.

Speaker 1 That's like definitely a Heather DeBrux tagline like in the works, right? Mimosas are nice, but why not just have champagne? Well, if your name was champagne, that would work.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Otherwise, it really has no, it's like otherwise people are like, it's like a, it's just like a strange assessment.
It's a

Speaker 1 strange declaration. It's not so much a tagline as a declaration.
And it's like,

Speaker 1 but like Heather DeBro is great. It's like great, but I like tourniquets better.

Speaker 1 This season, we're just going to have them take stances on things with the opening credits.

Speaker 1 Sometimes it's sunny, but i prefer clouds

Speaker 1 clouds are great you know what's even better shade that would be good if someone was like a weather lady yeah okay so um they're catching up you know and uh angela's just working so hard because she bought five damn houses to redo at the same time

Speaker 1 i love angela i love angela and i really i am i uh i have not taken the temperature on this too i don't know where people stand with angela but i love her i also love that she has like that bubble voice where it sounds like there's a permanent bubble in her, in her throat.

Speaker 1 And I don't have an

Speaker 1 excerption of Benson and hedges. Yeah.
She's like, oh, well,

Speaker 1 I don't know how to do her voice. Yeah.
I haven't tried it yet, ever, like that. This is, it's just coming out right now, but I just love listening to her talk.
She's like, hey, girl.

Speaker 1 Howard's like a little wooing.

Speaker 1 So Britt tells us, they talk about how much they love Home Depot. And Britt's like, yeah, Home Depot's such a vibe.

Speaker 1 And then she tells us, yeah, I want to know, Angela, because, you know, I don't have a lot of girlfriends because females, they don't really love me. Like, they love me or they hate me.

Speaker 1 I'm just, you know, I'm that girl that everybody wants to me. Oh, so we know she's an asshole.
I mean, we already knew she was an asshole, but this episode is really this, Britt's an asshole inciment.

Speaker 1 You know, congratulations. You got your asshole on the walk of Mimosa.
God, everyone wants to be her. An insurance agent with a dog named Mimosa.

Speaker 1 So Angela's like,

Speaker 1 I really want to be that insurance lady in a denim top. Somebody, please, what do I have to do?

Speaker 1 So Angela asks how the husband is, and then Britt just starts coughing. She's like,

Speaker 1 something like flew into my mouth and it's so gross, which was funny. And then

Speaker 1 she could breathe through your nose. You might want to have that looked into.

Speaker 1 My best suggested metal straws. I mean, anything at the end.
Her nose is literally concaved all the way to the back of her face on this part.

Speaker 1 They just took out this whole, they took out the whole bridge of her nose and just left a little part with holes in it.

Speaker 1 It's just traffic.

Speaker 1 So Angela's like, let's get out of the,

Speaker 1 let's go to, let's go.

Speaker 1 Oh no. Let's go out of the wilderness.

Speaker 1 Let's get out of the wilderness. Sounds nothing like her, but I'm going to have to commit to it for the rest of the episode, and I'll come back next week with something else.

Speaker 1 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, they go perfectly with music,

Speaker 1 podcasts, and welcome back to the show. Even nature sounds.

Speaker 1 Oh, and the thing where someone crinkles tissue and whispers at you.

Speaker 1 Hello. Look, I'm not here to judge what you listen to.
I'm here to judge you for not eating Reese's while you listen to it. Reese's.

Speaker 1 Ashley, go back to the nature sounds.

Speaker 1 Nice. Yeah, that's really nice.

Speaker 1 So they like sit down and everything. And Britt's asking, like, how's everything going? How's everything going on in your family? And she's like, family is everything.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And she goes, yeah, family is everything.

Speaker 1 And then she's like, yeah, I hate my sister too. She's a bitch, too.
I fucking hate my family. You hate your family? Yeah, family is everything.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we should have known she's about to talk about some shit going on in our family when she goes, family is everything. You're like, uh-oh, shit's going down.

Speaker 1 So she's supposed to hate their families and just keep saying family is everything. It's very real houseless in New Jersey.
Or my family, actually.

Speaker 1 My family was like that. My whole life, my family is like, my family's everything.
And then they fought over money and now they don't speak. They haven't spoken for like 30 years.
Good job, guys.

Speaker 1 Turns out Ronnie is actually related to Angela Oakley. He's like,

Speaker 1 this is my aunt. I I had the nerve to ask Charles Oakley to clean a countertop.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, because of our relationship.

Speaker 1 This made me so happy. This part, so she's like, Well, my sister and I, we're not seeing eye to eye on a lot of things, and my mom is in the middle.

Speaker 1 And here's the thing: you know, as a married woman, we shouldn't include our family and the dynamics in our marriage, but I made that mistake.

Speaker 1 And then she basically,

Speaker 1 what?

Speaker 1 Nothing. What?

Speaker 1 Nothing. Just listening.
Okay, laughing.

Speaker 1 Oh, my word.

Speaker 1 My mother has an opinion. She was brave enough to share that opinion with Charles.
And she's like, oh, man, not Charles. I was like, yeah, they had a big argument about cleaning up.

Speaker 1 Man, Charles really wants those counters clean. Because remember, he almost disowned his own daughter in the first episode.
He's like, remember when I came home and the house was dirty?

Speaker 1 She's like, I cleaned the kitchen, dad. He's like, no, you didn't.
Not enough. Don't fuck with Charles Oakley's countertops.

Speaker 1 Clean them off that was my favorite when when it I thought like oh damn this is probably a really bad argument and then you find out that it was just about cleaning things

Speaker 1 I was like this is great

Speaker 1 and she's like well it just imploded and you know even though they've apologized my husband feels like you know what happened yesterday so basically mom has a lot of opinions on how things should be done Charles has a lot of his own opinions on how things should be done and he holds grudges that's what that is your mom doesn't want to clean the kitchen just say it your mom doesn't want to clean the kitchen and charles oakley is too rich to argue about it and you're like clean the kitchen or we're not going to support you and she's like i'm not cleaning the kitchen i'm the mother and she's like okay well he's not going to support you now and she's like what am i what the hell you have five houses she's like all you had to do was clean the countertops

Speaker 1 I think it's that, I think the mom, it's not that the mom didn't want to clean. I think the mom weighed in on what the best practice is to clean something.

Speaker 1 And Charles is like, no, I clean it this way. And the mom was like, well, you really should do it this way.
Because that's more of what a mom would do. That's what a mother-in-law would do.

Speaker 1 Say, oh, you do it that way? Huh?

Speaker 1 You know, when my Mima passed away, my mom, one of her greatest angers that it was hard for her to let go of was that my grandma would come into the kitchen after this big long dinner and she would insist on doing dishes.

Speaker 1 And my mom was like, I don't want you to do dishes. Stop it.
Just go relax.

Speaker 1 Because my Mima insisted on taking the the uh iron pan what it what is it the cast iron pan the cast iron pan and scrubbing it all the way clean and then my mom would spend like months getting this thing built up with all the shit you have to do on those things and then she insists she's like no this is clean and this is the way it's going to be i'm not eating out of a dirty pan ronda I'm not doing it.

Speaker 1 And that was one of the things my mom couldn't let go of in the end. Isn't that crazy? So I get it.
That's totally, by the way, that's a totally valid thing to not give up. Like, that's a valid, like,

Speaker 1 oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I think I told you that, like,

Speaker 1 there was some was buried in a payless shoebox.

Speaker 1 It was not cast iron coffin.

Speaker 1 It was definitely. No, it was one of those, like,

Speaker 1 like, really cheap, raw stress for less

Speaker 1 stickless pans or whatever.

Speaker 1 Someone stayed with us recently and they used the cast iron skillet. And then they, like,

Speaker 1 like I was out I was out and they used it and then they like let it soak and I was like

Speaker 1 I was like first of all who told you you could use the cast iron skillet but second of all you don't let cast iron skillet soak I came back it was just like soaking with like suds in it and I literally

Speaker 1 whoo I'm getting triggered right now just to think about it

Speaker 1 get out of my house

Speaker 1 So Angela says, you know, and I take care of my family financially and that comes from Charles.

Speaker 1 So, and Britt's like, yeah, I'm gonna, you know, sometimes we try to extend our help or like resources, and it, like, backfires. No pun to the gun I bring up later in the episode.

Speaker 1 This is Chekhov's backfire. I just said backfire, so you know, so it was going to be threatened to be shot later.

Speaker 1 And just like, how was a backfire?

Speaker 1 And Britt's like, well, I said, so

Speaker 1 I say, Mike, my sister needs some help. And then my sister, when she's mad, she's like, oh, like, he's trying to be my daddy.
And I'm like, no, my husband's not trying to be your daddy.

Speaker 1 No one can replace my father.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 yeah, a lot of tension between Britt's sisters and Mike is what we're learning here.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And she has her middle sister, Cher, and her older sister is Tiara.

Speaker 1 What a name of three sisters. Brittany, Cher, and Tiara.

Speaker 1 Definitely sounds like a girl group.

Speaker 1 It's like

Speaker 1 this is.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 yeah, I'm sorry. Go ahead, Ben.
I was going to say that she says the dad was like the focal point for all of them, which makes sense. And he died suddenly because he got a blood clot.

Speaker 1 And they were all surprised. And so Britt says that her sister Cher took it the hardest and their relationship has just never been the same.

Speaker 1 Yeah, which we find out later is kind of bogus. So then, not that they didn't take it hard, but that this is the reason that they're not talking.

Speaker 1 She's like, she died because my dad died of a blood clot. It's like, I think something's missing here.
So then now they walk on and they're talking about the party. There's going to be a big party.

Speaker 1 It's going to be in a bank vault.

Speaker 1 And Angela's even going to include Shamia, even though they got off on the wrong foot. So then we see the flashback to them arguing and Shamia being like, oh, whatever.
I'm cool with your 90s nose.

Speaker 1 It's like, whatever, flavor, flav.

Speaker 1 Which is still great.

Speaker 1 So then

Speaker 1 Brittany's like, or Britt's like, she's like, so what do you think she meant by that? And Angela's like, you know, she just felt like I was acting.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, no, that's just who I am for my friend. Like, you know, I just like, I just like to show up for my friend.

Speaker 1 You know, Shamia through her jabs and I threw mine and I'm open to hashing it out and moving forward.

Speaker 1 So Britt is, you know, Brit's hoping that they can, they can, you know, settle it. And Angela's just like, you know, you know, you know, that mean energy when you see it.

Speaker 1 And so, of course, this now opens the door for Britt to talk about Kenya. yeah she's like um well i like shamia but you know uh

Speaker 1 you know kenya's mean you know she was really snooty and um

Speaker 1 she's still mad because kenya said what about your wedding band and now she's gonna make it the biggest storyline in the world you're trying too hard you're a try hard you need to like find something else to do you're exhausting and not yeah i mean if you can't deal with kenya's light shade what are you even doing on this show i think that she's trying to be like i'm a new generation i'm gonna stand up to these aunties.

Speaker 1 But she's just coming off like a kind of a bratty kid, right? So she's like,

Speaker 1 all I see in my mind when she's talking like this is like, stop elder abuse. You know, those bumper stickers.
I'm like, yeah,

Speaker 1 stop it.

Speaker 1 Leave us alone. We've worked hard.
We went to war this generation.

Speaker 1 We did. So Britt's like,

Speaker 1 Kenny does have a persona that could like probably ruffle a couple of feathers, but like, who wouldn't have a preconceived notion with a personality like hers?

Speaker 1 So basically, she's like, Yeah, I've watched a show, and Kenya thinks she can just be snobby to anybody, but I'm going to take her down.

Speaker 1 And she kind of did in the end. God, I hate when bad people win.
I hate it. I mean, Kenya kind of took herself down because, you know, she went too far, as usual.

Speaker 1 But still, this girl was the impetus. Impetus.
Get out of here, impetus. Oh, Pueblo.
I'm not saying that to you. Pueller just walked out

Speaker 1 between his legs. Pueblo's

Speaker 1 So then we go over to Shamia's place and we hear her song playing. It's like, baby, go on, relax, back, baby.
You know, I'm going to handle all of that.

Speaker 1 Never had they, never had somebody that can relax, relax. Put yourself on this table.
You got a massage and relax.

Speaker 1 Put your feet over here. Put some oil on that feet.
Relax. Light a candle and relax.
Put on some yanni and relax.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I like a song just telling you to sit down, you know, because I feel like most songs are like, Get up, hit the dance floor, everybody dance and put your arms up.

Speaker 1 Man, I like one that's just like, sit down, you fat bastard.

Speaker 1 Your feet are swollen, you had too much salt today. Sit down, you fat bastard.
You swack going up the stairs.

Speaker 1 Snooze eight more minutes.

Speaker 1 Was just eight more minutes. Go back to sleep.

Speaker 1 Don't dance.

Speaker 1 Put up your feet and stay in that chair.

Speaker 1 I like a song just called Don't Dance.

Speaker 1 So then

Speaker 1 Shamia's sister comes, Tawana,

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 this is so us, by the way. I was like, was this produced by Watch What Crappins? Because

Speaker 1 they go have this beautiful, they do this whole camera set up by the pool. And Shamia is ready to give America her new song, Don't Dance, Sit Down Instead, You Fat, Sweaty Bastard.

Speaker 1 And Tawana's like, I can't wait to hear it. And then it's like, ooh,

Speaker 1 fucking leaf blower every single time.

Speaker 1 It is the whole scene.

Speaker 1 And like, they're so committed to that like outdoor setup. They're like, no, we are going to continue shooting this.
We're not going to take it from the top outside. We are doing it here.

Speaker 1 She's like, I want to show everyone my pool. And an entire scene goes by with

Speaker 1 in the the background.

Speaker 1 And then at one point, Shamia is like,

Speaker 1 I'm just going to DoorDash some olive oil. Hold on a minute.
I'm going to try an Instacart

Speaker 1 because it's so loud.

Speaker 1 It's so loud. And so Shamia is talking about how music has always been a big part of her life.
She started off at a choir and church. And then she sang in a group with Carrie Hilson.

Speaker 1 And then she was in a group called Co-Ed.

Speaker 1 And she did all this stuff, and she just loves singing, singing, singing, singing. God, she just loves to sing.

Speaker 1 Um, which is all a setup for when later on when Portia is a total asshole to her when she plays her song. This is what this is in retrospect.

Speaker 1 Music has always been very important to Shamia, but Shamia hasn't always been very important to music, is basically what I got from this scene.

Speaker 1 Um, but I wish her luck with her new solo: Rain, Rain, Go Way,

Speaker 1 come again some of the day.

Speaker 1 Well, I really like the remix went like this. Here, sing the songs.
You do it. I'll do the remix part.
Really? Do it again.

Speaker 1 So she's decided she's going to apologize to Angela because it was not nice to go after her terrible physical appearance.

Speaker 1 And she should be going after her soul, like like most people you know she wants to be like more death eater and less like joan rivers you know so she's gonna make this up by door dashing or instacarting some olive oil and somehow turn this into a prop which shamia is doing a lot of things i really don't like which is multiple singles

Speaker 1 and um

Speaker 1 olive oil humor just bad props you know what i mean

Speaker 1 wasting a full bottle of olive oil on a prop because olive oil is expensive okay she's right, and it's gonna get more expensive. And at the end of this scene, Tara, it's so great.

Speaker 1 And at the end of this scene, she's like, Oh, I hate that damn wind, that leaf blower. Maybe I'll buy the house next door too, so they can't do that anymore.
And it's like, oh,

Speaker 1 yeah, Shamia at one point. It is funny though, because Shamia's like, you know, I was a smooth criminal for telling her that she looks like the Toyota Jackson.

Speaker 1 I mean, and now how am I going to moonwalk that back? Am I right?

Speaker 1 Your nose is mine. Oh, I'm just playing.

Speaker 1 So then we go to Portia. And

Speaker 1 by the way, she reached the number of legally acceptable Michael Jackson puns before they actually owe the estate something, clearly. They're like, Shamia, you're going to have to cut it up.

Speaker 1 That's it. There's blood on this dance floor.
Okay. And we're going to clean it up.

Speaker 1 Hold on. Oh, my goodness.
Look, here comes my cleaning lady. Diana, why are you so dirty? Head dirty Diana.
Am I right?

Speaker 1 i'm so she has a big she has a

Speaker 1 oh i'm looking at the shamia in the mirror i'm asking her to change her ways

Speaker 1 so then we go over to portia who's at a we work or something pretending she has a whole building dedicated to portia's line now i was a little worried because they keep calling her a line pamper and i was like that's taken you know because i was like who wants who wants to have a line named after pampers like come on now but it's called pampered pampered with portia isn't pamper take it's gotta be pampered

Speaker 1 she's like should be stomach by portia

Speaker 1 sure

Speaker 1 bronnie just names after different items um pampered let me see pampered pampered pampered um pampered by portia is the first one so you know portia's serious she at least got the first google search it's pretty good what about pampered chef oh Pampered by Portia is number two.

Speaker 1 Pampered Chef comes up first and then Pampered by Portia. But the next one for me is Pampered Tales, which...

Speaker 1 Oh, I get Pampered Auto Care and then Pampered Chef Stoneware and then Pampered Chef Pizza Stone.

Speaker 1 I still have an image of Carrie Shrugg on my screen because I looked her up and it's her looking like Carrie Shrugg is giving an image.

Speaker 1 She's giving a look at the camera like, why are you looking at my picture right now? It's kind of amazing. She's like trying to be polite, but she's also like really

Speaker 1 fuck off, Perv.

Speaker 1 She is, she's definitely giving like a, like, who the fuck do you think you are? She's like, um, hi.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to move on with my life. I'll put it up on screen so everyone can see.
She's like really upset to be on the podcast right now. It's a little exclusive for Crap Zen Demands members.

Speaker 1 You can see Carrie Shrugged right now. Oh, yeah.
She's like, oh, could somebody straight iron my hair? That would be nice. Thanks.
How about less picky picky and more irony irony? That would be great.

Speaker 1 How about more blowouty blowout?

Speaker 1 She's like, does Porsche have any pampered products for gymnasts? Is there a specific line for that? She's like, I am a top gymnast and I have static clean.

Speaker 1 So somebody

Speaker 1 to me. Told this episode would be about a vault and now I'm hearing there's no gymnastics involved.
So what am I even doing here?

Speaker 1 Okay, so we're at Porsche's place,

Speaker 1 pampered by pampers.

Speaker 1 And she's like, hey, y'all, I just wanted to make sure we can get together, you know, because, you know, there's been a big change because I've been focused on anything I could do home, you know.

Speaker 1 And so that's what we're going to do now. And Johnny's like, you're going to be Martha Stewart from Decatur.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 she, and she's like, or Martha Stewart was run out of prison because she had to come out and come out and go get it, okay?

Speaker 1 So she's basically says, um, she's been selling sheets for the past few years, which I've forgotten about, or I think I knew about, I think we knew about that, but I'd forgotten about about it.

Speaker 1 It's Sheets.

Speaker 1 You know, Sheets is low-key, one of the most popular real housewife hustles. Don't forget that Countess Luann also had some Sheets, the Countess Collection.
She also sold, I think, Flatware. So,

Speaker 1 which is also what you know, Flatware is also

Speaker 1 how her singing voice is described. So, Portia.
This is what Brittany asked for when she went in to get a nose.

Speaker 1 So, Portia is talking about building my empire. And then when she goes, We're we're building a billion-dollar empire here.
And it goes,

Speaker 1 she got a lot of this up this scene. The producers kind of hate Portia this year because she's like, you know, her agent's like, so are we talking about ambassadors?

Speaker 1 Because Drew reached out to me and she wants me to sit down with her and talk to her about doing work for her and Dennis. I was like, wow, Drew, really?

Speaker 1 Now you're going to try and come for Portia's agent? Really?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And so, of course, she doesn't,

Speaker 1 Portia does not like that.

Speaker 1 And she's like, she's like, yeah, well, we're always looking for ambassadors, but they have to be serious about their content, sort of implying that Drew is not very good at doing what she's doing, which is not a surprise.

Speaker 1 So yeah,

Speaker 1 he says that she reached out with Dennis and he said, he's like, well, you know, he says, Dennis says, well, you're well connected and trusted in the music business.

Speaker 1 And there's like a lot of things you can do to help us out with Drew's music career. And it was just like random because I was like, when did Dennis become Quincy Jones?

Speaker 1 Which is a question I think a lot of us have been asking.

Speaker 1 Where did he get qualified to do any of this? Aside from a children's album he produced three years ago.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and she's like, well, as far as Drew, there are some other things that she's not done according to her contract that Go Naked Corporate will handle.

Speaker 1 And she tells us, Go Naked Hair does have a full-blown team. Attorneys, we have Admin, we have HR.
And then as she says each of these things, the editors keep popping up. Porsche, HR, aka Porsche.

Speaker 1 But then they keep spelling the name different.

Speaker 1 I didn't even notice that the names were spelled differently.

Speaker 1 I did see that it was Porsche, Portia, Portia, but it was definitely giving like aka Porsche. We have Admin, aka Porsche.
We have HR, aka Porsche.

Speaker 1 It was definitely very Karen Huger in that moment.

Speaker 1 It was very much like she was acting like this was like a Fortune 500 company. It's all you.

Speaker 1 So, um,

Speaker 1 oh, really? You're trying to serve mush today as well? Well,

Speaker 1 someone's copying me, the original Mush seller.

Speaker 1 Commercials.

Speaker 1 Here comes one right now.

Speaker 2 This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad, Ryan, real United Airlines customers.

Speaker 1 We were returning home, and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Captain Andrew.

Speaker 2 I got to sit in the driver's seat.

Speaker 1 I grew up in an aviation family and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age.

Speaker 2 That's Andrew, a real United Pilot.

Speaker 1 These small interactions can shape a kid's future.

Speaker 2 It felt like I was the captain.

Speaker 1 Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever. That's how good leads the way.

Speaker 2 Picture this. You're standing on the beach when you notice something strange.
The horizon doesn't look right. At first, all you can see is a thin white line stretching as far as your eyes can see.

Speaker 2 Then, the line starts to rise. But it's not the horizon at all.
It's a wave, a 30-foot wall of water, and it's racing straight toward you.

Speaker 2 On the day after Christmas in 2004, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake hit off the coast of Indonesia, triggering a devastating tsunami. It struck Thailand without warning.

Speaker 2 No alarms, no cell phone alerts, no evacuation.

Speaker 2 In this season of Against the Odds, experience one of the deadliest natural disasters in history through the perspectives of those who did everything they could to survive.

Speaker 2 Follow Against the Odds on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge all episodes of Against the Odds Tsunami in Thailand early and ad-free right now on Wondery Plus.

Speaker 1 But now we go over to Drew and Ralph. So this is Ralph's first scene of the season because he's been living in the basement.

Speaker 1 And of course they rolled that clip again where Drew says, Ralph's been living living in the basement she tells kenya that and they just had that shot going down the stairs into like the darkness into ralph's domain which is just it cracks me up every single time why is drew trying to get this thing out there that she's always outside with her children like every time we see her with her children now she's like look at us out in the front yard playing ball a do you have a backyard the front yard's very dangerous to be playing ball in all the time and um why are you always outside i don't believe drew's always outside i don't believe it in a lot of fake drew storylines I will believe that you pay your chef before I believe that your ass is outside throwing a ball for your children.

Speaker 1 I think that's fair.

Speaker 1 Ralph is doing football drills with the kids and they're running and everything. And then Drew tries to be funny and she tries to run as well.
And Ralph is like, don't tear an Achilles.

Speaker 1 And we see live footage of Drew tearing her Achilles by doing nothing except running like three feet. So she's saying that like, you know, Ralph and I are better co-parents than we ever were parents.

Speaker 1 And we see

Speaker 1 this flashback to the therapy session. Yeah, when there were a couple.
And we see a flashback to their therapy session.

Speaker 1 And I forgot about this line, but this line was amazing where Ralph was like, oh man, everything's a problem for her because she's like insatiable. I tried to get her a steak and lobster.

Speaker 1 She deserves a lunchable.

Speaker 1 So he's like, you know, all this stuff that you're telling, all this stuff that you're telling the, you know, the magazines and stuff, like narcissist. She goes, you are a narcissist.

Speaker 1 He's like, no, I'm not. Do you even know what that means? And then the producer says, do you know what a narcissist is? She goes, you're going to make me look up narcissist.

Speaker 1 Okay, well,

Speaker 1 how do you spell that?

Speaker 1 By the way, Ralph has shown up for his, we've seen his interview look. He's just wearing, he's wearing a blazer with no shirt.
And the producers are like, why are you wearing no shirt? He's like, ah.

Speaker 1 He doesn't have any good answer for it, but he's like trying to pull up a look and he's definitely can't do it.

Speaker 1 We also see that he's been really um leaning into his basement life he did like an mtv cribs for his basement and it turns out the basement is actually really awesome there's like a movie theater down there and there's like a whole man cave so he's happy as a full kitchen a full kitchen he's fine yeah i'd live in the basement too if drew was upstairs i'd be like mike could you please take off your heels that would be my that would be my thing i would just be on a little radio going

Speaker 1 drew drew ronnie ronnie please take off your goddamn heels okay and tell your lamb team to take off their heels too i'm trying to watch big business again thank you

Speaker 1 um so yeah she's basically uh she's saying that he's a narcissist which seems about right and uh he's like oh well i mean if that's your experience with me then that's your experience but like i did and i do apologize for that ha see look guess what nurses can't apologize so ha ha

Speaker 1 then we've really got one there It's part of their divorce decree that they can't talk to the kids about the divorce. So no one's telling the kids anything.

Speaker 1 They're just like, are you getting divorced? They're like, my lips lips are sealed. Okay.
Can't really. Dad's just living in the basement for no reason.

Speaker 1 Just go

Speaker 1 throw a ball in the front yard with your mother. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 they can't talk about that. But someone brought an article to JoJo.

Speaker 1 And so now they have to kind of like navigate it and they're not really sure what to do.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And so she tells him, look, take the kids whenever you want.
What the fuck do I care? And he's like, oh my God, we're a great couple. And they are kind of like they still have their chemistry.

Speaker 1 I mean, it was terrifying chemistry, but they've still got it. I don't know.
Maybe they're pulling a PK and Dorit, you know?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, Ralph was doing his like, like, trying to charm America thing where he had this big smile out because he has that enormous smile. So he's got the smile and he's being all silly and kind.

Speaker 1 He's like, I'm just, I'm just Ralph. I'm just, everyone's Ralph.
Everyone loves Ralph.

Speaker 1 So I don't know. Isn't he just wacky? This is this is what I call fun sliver.
Isn't he just fun?

Speaker 1 Fun sliver. Sliver, a comedy.

Speaker 1 The screwball comedy America has fallen in love with. Sliver.

Speaker 1 The fact that Ralph got in trouble for having for spying on his family with cameras now has an actual screening room in his apartment, which is kind of terrifying.

Speaker 1 It's like, why is why is Enigma playing so much?

Speaker 1 So, Kelly. Tell Ottoc Man to wear better underwear.

Speaker 1 So Kelly goes over to Kenya Moore. Hair spa.
Kenya Moore, hair spa. And, you know, they say hi and everything.
And Kenya's really nice to Kelly because Kenya's also smart.

Speaker 1 She knows she's going to be mean to Britt and she's going to be nice to Kelly. And then Kelly will be like, Britt, you're crazy.
Kenya's so nice. It's a great game.
And she's chosen Kelly to be her

Speaker 1 little deputy. And by the way, she also chose Kelly because I think she knows that Kelly.

Speaker 1 Kelly is worthy of it because I think Kelly has been great and Kelly is kind of fearless.

Speaker 1 And she does like she does like baby shade like she does she's like a good like baby version of like she's like Muppet Baby's version of like Real House House of Atlanta and I think that I say that in the in the best possible way right like because we love Muppet Baby's version of Kermit just as much as regular Kermit but he's just like the Muppet Baby's version and so I think like Britt is not a Muppet Baby's version Britt is just like

Speaker 1 she's just a garbage

Speaker 1 version yeah

Speaker 1 so Kelly's in there and the premise of this is that Kenya still hasn't opened but I can't wait wait to open and I want Kelly to be here because she has a waffle restaurant.

Speaker 1 Which doesn't really make a lot of sense, but

Speaker 1 she's doing her like sweet Kenya voice, like, okay,

Speaker 1 do you like my hair washing station?

Speaker 1 Kelly's like, the hair washing station is great. Now, where do you make your waffles?

Speaker 1 We don't do that. Okay, well, you're going to need a waffle iron in here for this pa to be successful.
That's that's my key to mind. I suggest waffle curls.

Speaker 1 Shrey walks in. Does that say waffle curls? They're just putting their hair through the waffles.

Speaker 1 That's probably going to become a thing on TikTok. Guys, instead of spending all that money on an unnecessary thing, ditch the flat iron, get a waffle iron.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you guys see this happening, I came up with it. Okay.
Grandpa Roger came up with it.

Speaker 1 The weirdest crimp of all time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the waffle crimp.

Speaker 1 So Kelly is saying, Kelly's there to give advice, you know, business owner to business owner. And she's like, you know, I'd love to really be able to witness Kelly as an entrepreneur, as a girl boss.

Speaker 1 I mean, Kenya, as a girl boss, as a business owner. She reminds me a lot of myself.
Just, of course, with 90% less maple syrup. But either way, love her.
100% more working businesses that are open.

Speaker 1 It's also slightly different. So Kelly's like, oh, I'm wearing one shoe that's a different color than the other shoe.
It's a very Sarah Jessica Parker moment. I mean, I know you love Kelly.

Speaker 1 I think Kelly's a little tryhard too, but I think she just needs some time to kind of

Speaker 1 work

Speaker 1 hard.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she's tryhard, but I think she just has more upside. I think that she has, I think that she has something there.
I think she has more upside too, but I mean, we're comparing her to Red.

Speaker 1 But like, yeah, this whole like, I'm having a Sarah Jessica moment. She's like, we also sometimes serve different color color waffles at the restaurant just for sarah j

Speaker 1 um so kenya's like wait a minute

Speaker 1 sometimes we just throw waffles out a window

Speaker 1 we say why remember the time when waffles used to be fun

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 she's like

Speaker 1 a window riding on a waffle.

Speaker 1 Remember?

Speaker 1 I'll never get rid

Speaker 1 But her pen is a waffle also. I broke my fountain pen again.

Speaker 1 I couldn't help but wonder.

Speaker 1 In a city where I'm always waffling, maybe a waffle is what I really need to do when I sit down in a city. I'm like, well, she's young.
She's working on it. She's working on her Sarah J.

Speaker 1 How are you supposed to date in this city when you don't have any holes, but you have so many divots?

Speaker 1 You know.

Speaker 1 The episode's called Just the Tip.

Speaker 1 Just

Speaker 1 I couldn't help but wonder: was this

Speaker 1 a waffle? That's it. I couldn't help but wonder.
Is this a waffle? It's the shortest version of Sexual Sorrow. Is this a waffle?

Speaker 1 So she, they sit down, and Kenya's like, um, wait a minute. Why do you have a bodyguard? And we see this like guy the size of a wall at the door.
like

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 there's a waffle guard and uh turns out oh giselle's just outside waiting for her ride don't worry

Speaker 1 so can it turns out that kelly kelly's ex she's like you know you have an mark and i have an mark

Speaker 1 meaning that she also has her ex is also named mark and he is a dipshit and um he was abusive and he made physical threats um in court i mean this guy's a real idiot

Speaker 1 He threatened to kill her in court. In court.
On a court record. My God, can we get some subtlety with our threats of violence?

Speaker 1 I mean, my God, whatever happened to the poetry of violence?

Speaker 1 What happened to have it breathing on a phone? But

Speaker 1 this is really bad.

Speaker 1 But this is...

Speaker 1 Sorry.

Speaker 1 Get ready before you get waffles. We'll go back to waffle news, guys.
I'm like, all right, waffle news, welcome.

Speaker 1 This is also why sometimes Kenya just, if you don't know how to take Kenya, this scene could have gone very differently if this was someone else.

Speaker 1 Because Kenya's like, wait a minute, you're saying Mark. I'm spelling his name because I don't want to say his name.
Oh, so Mark? Okay. So you're saying he was abusive?

Speaker 1 And she goes, well, I've had some situations. And she goes, were there physical threats? And she's like, yeah, I have a restraining order.
Do you have proof?

Speaker 1 She's like, yeah. I'm like, Kenya,

Speaker 1 I mean, Kenya,

Speaker 1 to a lot of people, I think that could sound like Kenya's kind of questioning the veracity of these statements, but she knows how to take Kenya. And she's like, no, no, yeah.
He threatened me.

Speaker 1 He fully threatened me in court. And she's like, you know, we were in court and they actually held him in contempt and he threatened to kill me.

Speaker 1 And she says, unfortunately, he can't see the girls right now because of the threats towards me.

Speaker 1 And the judge awarded her a restraining order. So God, that's so that's why she has the bodyguard.
It's like, actually, it seems like the first really good use of a bodyguard ever on

Speaker 1 normally it's like

Speaker 1 you're right. Well,

Speaker 1 you know what? She

Speaker 1 threw up my burritos. So I've got a bodyguard now in case because I do not stand for that sort of activity with a burrito.
I will not have people misbehaving in a wine barn.

Speaker 1 But yeah, this guy sounds like a real piece of shit. He sounds awful.
It's ridiculous that she has to have a bodyguard. And

Speaker 1 it's not even a funny bodyguard.

Speaker 1 It's like normally the bodyguards are usually here for for petty reasons and this she has to have like a legitimate bodyguard and that's like so fucked up and this guy sounds like the worst worst person ever so um because he basically he wants the waffle business and She started the waffle business when they were married, but he like she always ran it and now he wants in on it because you know, I guess she brought in the money or something like that

Speaker 1 And so he said,

Speaker 1 if I don't get to have the business, I'm going to close everything and you wouldn't have anything without me and kenny's like he tried to color purple you

Speaker 1 you

Speaker 1 do right by me

Speaker 1 the color waffle um

Speaker 1 so uh you already waffled hardy been waffled to me

Speaker 1 and i

Speaker 1 am here

Speaker 1 so um

Speaker 1 uh she says that um uh yes I waited to exhale him, which is funny. And so Kelly is basically saying, like, I really like Kenya.

Speaker 1 I don't know what the deal is with Kenya and Brit because I haven't experienced anything that Britt was talking about. Is this the same person? She seems great.

Speaker 1 So, you know, it's smart. Kenya's shrewd, though, too.
Kenya knows. how to uh Kenya knows when she's about to go into war.
She senses it already with Britt.

Speaker 1 She's going to, she's going to bring in a newbie, cause a rift, get her allies.
