Bros & Shows - Cooking w/ Kelli Gets Heated (RHOA Full Recap)

Episode Date: June 25, 2025

What's up Bros? RHOA is wrapping up next week. This episode was better than last week but it feels like theyre trying to piece together something to bring us back in. I know we can be harsh, but we do feel that there is a good show in here somewhere. We underestimated how the Kenya fiasco would affect this season. In this episode, Kelli and Brit are splitsville. Kelli is upset because Brit didn't check up on her after her divorce hearing. Especially considering how much Kelli did for Brit following the Kenya stuff. At an event, some random dude tells Angela that Charles is cheating on her. This man must not be the brightest bulb because Charles Oakley is known as the last enforcer for a reason. Those are the two issues we're focusing on as the season comes to a close. The most important question... did production pay that man?!? Learn more about your ad choices.

I thought we were going to get an OG Charles Oakley moment. The enforcer. I thought we're going to see it. Not somebody that you really want to poke with random shit. Pretty wild. Maybe that dude doesn't know. Who the hell knows? Send him highlights.

Bros and shows. I got to have me my pros and shows. Bros and shows. Brows and shows. I got to have me my bros and shows. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Bros and shows. I'm your co-host.

Steele Russell, joined as always by the one and only, hot out, McGottout. It works. Okay. Yeah. See, the problem with those is when they don't hit, I think of something else. And then when I repeat it, then you get mad at me. Yeah, you're not allowed to. It's not of the game works.

Yeah, but if it's better, you just won't acknowledge it. You've been doing this for 20 years at this point. I know. Okay. It just doesn't really work. Yeah, we're here to talk about Atlanta, the show that should have ended six weeks ago. This was a weird episode because until the end,

I classified this as the ultimate scroll on my phone type of show. Okay. There is not a lot to sink your teeth into. We are so dumb with everything at this point. They're done with everything after they get back from the trip. And then obviously the end of the episode, it's like, what the fuck just happened? That popped off so randomly and only in a way in which Brit can do it because of,

it just comes out of left field so much. Oh, I was talking more about the Charles Eucley stuff. Then I was like, I sat up in my seat a little bit. Yeah. And then I kind of like slunked? And then I jumped out of my seat. I believe slunked is a word. Slunked back down in my seat for a bit.

A slunk. You can slunk down in his seat. Yeah, okay. Slunk already passed. I was going to say passive aggressive, past tense. It could be passive aggressive, depending on how you use it. As far as to be past tense. Correct.

Yeah. Wow. How did we get here? I don't know. But we're here to talk. about Atlanta. And this episode, like you said, everything else has been somewhat squashed. And so now we're at a point where they're bringing new things up, which we knew the Charles Oakley thing was going to boil over eventually. We got too many hints and foreshadowing throughout the season. We knew we were going to talk about it. So not how I thought it was going to come up. No. And I have a theory on who paid that man. Yeah. I feel like that could be a producers. God damn it. I live I feel like they're like, we need, how are we going to do this? But I feel like they were getting to the end of the season.

And they're like, well, we haven't gotten the Charles thing yet. How are we going to get this out organically? Pay that guy. I just don't know who's currently going after Angela or who would really gain anything by it. I don't know who on earth would gain anything from a random person going up and saying this. Easy person to blame is Britt, but that's just because of who she is as a person. But I don't really think she gains anything from it, which. you know, isn't really her M-O anyway.

Motoriety me? Nobody else in the cast seems like somebody that would do it necessarily. So I wonder if we're going to get some big reveal next week for the finale. Not really sure how that's going to play out. I really don't know, honestly. It's just not at all what I expected was going to happen. I figured that it was just going to kind of, you know, fade to the background.

Maybe people were going to make a couple more comments here or there if Angela got involved and then, you know, see how she handles it or it was just going to come up at the reunion. Yeah. This isn't really what I thought. And the other part of it is the thing. Oh, you didn't think. a random man named Marcus would come up and just not at it. Yeah, I mean, not at the

William Sonoma cooking event. Not at cooking with Kelly at William Sonoma. Come on now. That's ridiculous. Food looks great. It looked phenomenal. How to do the waffles. Ananas Foster on a waffle. Yes, please. That looks fantastic. But yeah, definitely not how I expected that to play out. And also, the news currently for Atlanta

with, for whatever reason, this is an odd move by Bravo. Usually they do embargo people. You've got like Shamea and Portia and Angela. They've been on like four or five podcasts. in the last like two days. Well, I think that they should allow them to do that. Like, that's one of...

As long as they're not revealing things. Now, I agree with that, but like one of my, not bigger irritants, but something that always kind of puzzles me is when and when we are not allowed to interview Bravo stars, because there's plenty of times that we get the stiff arm from Bravo when it seems like it would be a good time to help market the podcast or sorry, the show via a podcast. So their embargo time frame is always pretty random to me. Yeah. It's always like we want to be able to interview somebody during a season in which they're doing something.

Yes. And they let us interview people in the off season. Yes. And it's like, okay, in like the world that we're in right now, we have so many shows to cover that an interview with somebody from a show that stopped airing, you know, two months ago, wasn't going to do anything. So there's no point in us doing it at that point. So I was just kind of caught off guard when I saw that Chimilla was on a podcast,

but the big thing that stuck out to me was she was talking so nicely about Portia. And that's a thing that we've been waiting on is where does their friendship break down? Does it happen at the reunion? They probably reconnected. And I don't think it happened to the reunion. So that's what we've been waiting for, which is like, I saw it. I know. Oh, I was going to say.

I'm saying at the reunion is where I was thinking like, oh, shit, they're going to like have a full breakdown. We're going to be able to see how she was responding to things when she was on watch, what happens live. She said that they were in a weird place. she was on a podcast talking all these praises about Portia and how well she handled the reunion and how great she was. So there you go. So we're not going to see a breakdown at the reunion.

That's one of the things that we may, one of the only things that we may have been looking forward to in the reunion. I bet you're going to see them clash and come back together. The timeline makes sense because Brit stirs the pot in this episode. They're not cool when Shimeo doesn't watch what happens live. reunion now they're cool so I don't know I mean we could get a good scene between those two at the

reunion like hashing shit out and figuring this whole thing out I'm not entirely sure of the reunion I'm I'm curious how many parts they're good there only needs to be two max maximum we can always say that though I know I know but we'll see but let's get into this episode and we start out with Shimea and her babies and they're all wearing matching fits which I always appreciate and Shiloh's doing better so we know that the previous nanny or nurse or whoever's at the house. Stuck her in her crib with no blanket. She was freezing cold.

They were all concerned. We're all good. I hope there was legal action. I do too. That's fucking banana land to me. I wonder if that seems like something, we're not lawyers. We're not lawyers. That does seem like something they probably wouldn't want to talk about on the show.

I don't think you would. Immediately like I'm going to sue the shit out of this company. They should. That's crazy to me. Should and I would be surprised if they didn't. Because here's the problem. I mean, there's a lot of problems. But the fact that nurse slash nanny

is decked out in a parka and a beanie while this poor sweet little baby is freezing and shivering in her crib that's that's all you need be like bam you're sued there you go that's how lawsuits work everybody yep let's check in with phajra and her two sons that need a show i would watch dylan and aden yeah build their fashion empire together when her one son was just which we saw these pants later at the fashion runway great pants putting together some pants and he's what a 11? It was going on here. I was astounded with the craftsmanship. Yeah. Those were some solid pants.

It looked great. I thought they looked great. I'm assuming Aden's pants later were also an O.G. Dylan. Kids on to something? No, the problem is it was so hot and continues to be so hot here that when I saw them, I started to sweat. Oh, yeah, the snake skin pants are definitely... You know, naturally the progression is, would I like to wear those? Maybe I would. Oh, God, they'd be so hot. Oh, no, it's 98 degrees out. I'm going to die.

those pants. Yeah, see, that's the general progression. But, you know, the kid's getting some orders, which is cool. And he's got a business plan. Aden is the manager. And we see him do a nice job later. So I would watch this show. But they set up what's going on later on in the episode. We have a show. She said the vault, but it's the Ivy Room. So is it the Ivy Room at the Vault? I don't know. We went back to the Vault, apparently. I know. I thought we were going to the Vault. I was like, I know the Vault. the vault earlier. This is the only place that they got clearance to, uh, to film after all the Kenya shit. We're not putting, like, yeah,

no, you guys are, uh, blacklisted from all this stuff. Yeah, absolutely not. We've, did you bring any post?

You can go back to the vault, though. Apparently you can say that you have a gun on you and that's cool. So we'll go back to them. Yeah, we're going to go to the vault. They, they're going to let us back in.

But Kelly is headed to her court date. And afterwards, we don't really get much. We just get her getting back in the car. And they are still not divorced. It has been, In three years, the judge issued a continuance. So she's at her house, like, decompressing, and Shamia comes over.

We find out that her ex is currently in, not currently now, I don't know. But in this scene, he was sent back to jail. Yeah. So this. I guess it has a lot to do with child support because that's why he originally went to jail. But it seemed like he was okay with going to jail because he wasn't going to pay the child support. So it's a very messy situation. And I do say, you know, last week we got to see her and Drew.

talking about how they're both going through a divorce and we're like, why did it take you 15 episodes to get here? And as soon as Kelly gets out of the courthouse and into the Sprinter van, everybody sitting there goes, well, that was a shit show. Yeah. That's what they did when Drew walked out. Why are these two not talking about their experiences

and showing that they've got things in common? I don't know. Maybe getting an alliance going. I don't know. Would have been nice. Something there. Usually how these shows work, not this one. So that kind of just annoyed the hell out of me, but it was very interesting to hear that. And I get where they're going with it, with all of the, you know, Angela calls her.

She checks in. Shamiya comes over to check in. And it's like, all right. Now we got to open it up. Who didn't check in? Britt. Because they're still feuding over, they're feuding over different things, I think. Because Brit's pissed about the glam squad thing.

Kelly, I think, is more just irritated by the glam squad thing. I think Kelly's just irritated by Brit. Yeah, same. I think it's just all encompassing. whole situation is very murky because obviously at face value, I think we're both going to be on Kelly's side. She just seems like a much better person.

I'm team Kelly all the way. So it doesn't really matter to me. But recently in the last couple of days, Paris has taken to, remember Paris from the first event that Kelly was hosting, went on to Twitter to say that Kelly wasn't paying anybody, but Britt was paying everybody. So we all wanted to go work for Brit.

So now I got really confused. Now, when we get third parties enter, much like Marcus. a lot. We did like Paris a lot. I didn't say we need them on the show, but we have a terrible track record with that stuff. We do. And if, again, the proof that you need is Marcus at the end of this episode. When we have randoms get involved, and obviously Marcus is much more of a random than glam. I believe we're even using his name. I should stop. I should stop giving him any kind of notoriety. You're right. But that's the risk you run is, okay, well, what's true? What's not?

We know that Brit was apparently not paying for the event at the country club, but now Paris is trying to say that she's paying for the glam squad. Kelly's not paying for the glam squad. We don't know if that's true. Did Kelly and Paris have a falling out? So now he's talking shit. Did something happen there? There's too many factors when you get these random

people speak up and say, this is what happened. So I I'm not going to... No, it's just one, we have to point out a very big problem. Okay. Is there no loyalty in the glam squads anymore? Yeah, what the fuck is this? This is the last straw for me.

I kind of understand Kelly. Yeah, no, I fully understand Kelly. You can't steal the team. Yeah, I don't care. What is she, is Brick going to pay you more? No way. Well, according to Paris, yes. Apparently, yes.

This is confusing. It is very confusing because then we have things that contradict. So, I mean, I'd rather work for Kelly, for sure. She seems like a much nicer person. But where's the loyalty? I don't know. It starts off with Kelly allowing Britt to just have, I think it's just hair and makeup. Yeah.

Then she wants a stylist. then she wants this, which is typical for Brits' character, as we've seen. So, yeah, Kelly's going to get very annoyed by that. I guess all of those people, all of the stylists and the hair and makeup people, they're now seeing an opportunity to go back and forth, but they don't realize that there's an issue there. They get to make more monies. I don't, I'm not going to.

You'll probably lose Kelly as a client if all of you guys are doing Brit all the time. And she's paying you, then, yeah. If I'm Kelly, I'm looking at that, like, oh, fuck. Like, you can have them. If they want to go work for you, I don't want to be associated with the same people so that I don't have to deal with. that and then maybe have the same look as you but how hard is it to like have a glam squad like squad you know what i'm saying like like like the ones that like lisa parlo wow great minds think like

but yeah because like she flies them everywhere they're always around her like they are loyal to her to a fault so from what we know of glam squatting a glam squad is is the entourage of a housewife and it's very important to them yeah so i kind of understand understand if it's like, yeah, you can use them, but it's more like, yeah, you can use them a couple times, but like, these are my people. It started in Nashville, right? Like, you can use them for this. Yeah, but Brits trying to take the approach of because I looked better than you. Now Kelly's upset. It's like, no, it sounds like Kelly loaned her squad to you in Nashville because you didn't have one, even though we saw you shopping for like Rolls Royces and stuff the week before.

And now you want them back in Atlanta. And she's, not going for that. I don't know. I don't fucking know. I'll tell you, you know what, end of the discussion. We like Kelly a lot more than we like Britt. Yeah.

So we're team Kelly. Yes. But we're at cooking with Kelly at the Williams Sonoma store. She's a William Sonoma partner, which is pretty dope. I would love to be a Williams. That's awesome.

Hey, William and Sonoma. If you're looking for a new sponsorship, shit, we blew it. We're never going to work for them now. Williams Sonoma? Williams. Yeah. So you said, hey,

William. So now that I got confused. Because there's, oh, hey, there's two. There's an S at the end of William, right? And an apostrophe. And then, uh, yeah. Now, it's Williams, Sonoma. Right. Yes. Williams dash. There's two people. Williams and Sonoma. I would imagine. Or Williams is in Sonoma. Ah. I don't, what are we doing? Ooh, are these wine glasses crystal? I didn't know Holmesense had such a nice glassware. Hun, wouldn't these be perfect for guests? Did you say Crystal? Who do you think is coming over?

Well, they're only $20. $20? For a whole set. Forget the guests. Our anniversary is coming up. We can use these. Deal so good, everyone approves. Only at Home Sense.

Life's the trip. of it at Best Western. Visit bestwestern.com for complete terms and conditions. By cooking with Kelly, we got Drew, we got Angela, Charles Fadra, and we got a little waffle competition. A little waffle competition via Bananas Foster. Man, I guess Charles and Kelly have been playfully talking shit about cooking, so we're going to finally get this out there.

We're going to see who's actually a better cook. But before we do that, we have to get a Brit update. So Kelly's like, yeah, the way she says it too is confusing. Because I think Fader's like, aren't you guys like the bestest of friends? She's like, we are very, very good best friends. I don't know what that term means. I don't know what it means at all. But they're not talking currently.

And she said that they haven't talked since Grenada. And while that's going on, we have Britt, who finally took Fager's advice and invited Portia and Cynthia into her house, which this to me is only going to be one thing. I'm going to plant some seeds while you guys come over to my house because I feel slighted by Kelly I feel like I'm out of the group and I'm going to throw some punches now

I'm just Portia and Cynthia weren't invited to the William Snowa thing I was confused about that as well because you know how they usually do that where they'll like kind of do two things at one time to just have different conversations going on about the same time this was an event that happened

at the same time as another event so then I was confused like wait and we didn't see anything about Portia and Cynthia being upset that they weren't invited to the event. Maybe they already had plans with Brit. Maybe. Or maybe your production's like, you're going there, you're going there. That's probably the answer right there.

I guess that's what it is. But this is when I get annoyed by, you know, what Porsche is doing. Cynthia, whatever, she's the peacekeeper. She can do whatever the hell she wants. Cynthia can do anything. But Porsche getting in there and immediately just being so nice to Brit after all of this. Like, we've seen you turn down so many invitations to do so many different things that you haven't really wanted to do that you've been talking shit on you talk shit on brit not inviting people to the

house you clearly don't like her and then you accept the invitation and you go over and you're super nice and you just want to like kiki and talk shit i'm okay with you going over with a positive demeanor but to not get to the point where you're discussing the previous things that happened like why shit was rocky i'm cool if you go over there and be like hey like i exactly that's why if you go over there and you're like hey we got off on the wrong foot your button heads, like, let's clear the air, and then we can kiki. But instead, it's just very quickly to the... They're all good, yeah.

And that is exactly what they do. They just start talking shit, because the stylus thing comes up, and the interesting part about that is now the stylists are working with Shamiya. So is that what pushed her over the edge, or does she see an angle here? Is Shemia really working with the stylist full-time? Is the stylist part of the glam squatters? The stylist kind of a rover? Like, we don't really know.

So I don't really understand if this was something, I'm assuming, and I'm going to take it as this pushed Britt over the edge when she heard that Shamiya was doing it. Her friendship with Kelly has been falling out slowly, and it seems as though Shemia has taken her place. Yeah. So I think this was like the cherry on top. That makes the most sense to me possible.

and I guess if she's going to go at it from that angle I understand where she's coming from which is really all you can ask for for Brit at least have some sort of understanding of where she's coming from when she's trying to dismantle and talk some shit on somebody okay I get it if you feel slated that at least makes sense

if it's true I don't know because we haven't heard about this and of course you're going to say it's a Porsche who's going back and forth with Shimea at this point so yeah you might be able to get a little bit more out of it but you can tell that there's the workings of a plan for why Portia's there and why Britt and did her. Well, Brit throws Shamiya under the bus, which I wasn't expecting. She's like, you know, Shemia came over and we talked a bunch and she was talking all about you, like telling

Portia that Shemya's talking behind her back. And Porsche's like, well, I thought we were cool, but now you're telling me this. She's like, oh, she showed me text messages of conversations. And I guess it was Porsche talking to Shemia about her therapist, but Shemia said it was her lawyer or some shit. So now we've crossed lines. If that is true, that's kind of fucked up. Yeah, I will say that. If you're sharing therapy notes with a third party, not very cool, Shamiya, but the whole angle. And this is what I think this whole episode was, is Brits' last grasp to be relevant. I'm going to throw everything out there that I know and see where the dust settles because my season sucked anyway.

So, I mean, which part of me kind of respects just going down swinging. Yeah. Usually you want to save that for a reunion, though. You would think. maybe not, I don't know, maybe she understands the writings on the wall, maybe, maybe the conversation that they had in Grenada was more of a wake-up call for her, like, oh, yeah, they're telling me that I'm not

really making it cool with everybody else on the show. I'm not inviting castmates over to my house. Maybe I need to start doing that, and what's a better way to start doing that than to do that and drop some tea that I have? Sure. And try to mix things up. I think it's, obviously, it's too little too late. There's no chance that she comes back next year, which

just makes a lot more. Oh, no. She sued Bravo. She's sued Bravo. She's not going to the reunion or she didn't go to the reunion. So, yeah, there's no way she's coming back. But it's, that's where it gets annoying for me. Because it's like, okay, you're just going to drop this atomic bomb, leave the show. To be honest, everybody's probably going to be fine and nobody's going to talk about you ever again. It'll be okay. And if you're the one who's behind the Charles Oakley situation, then that's even worse because it's like, okay. Like, really, this is what we're doing. It's just, it's very confusing. I'm so confused about everything. I'm so confused about everything. I'm so confused. about the beefs that are currently going on at this point because we don't have any real answers. We've got people talking about things that they heard or saw, and then it's getting to the other person, but we're never having sit downs with the two people. Yeah, we don't have enough context. Yeah, and when we do get the sit downs, it's Portia and Shemia at a restaurant where nothing really gets accomplished, but seemingly everything's okay.

Yeah. It's just really weird. There's not a lot of context. It's shallow. Very shallow. That's interesting. Shallow. Let's get back to cooking with Kelly.

and we, I hate this. I hate this. I know it's not a big deal, but we do the bananas foster off, and it's a tie. Someone's got to win. Okay? Somebody has to win because that's stupid.

But while the Banana Foster's competition is fostering, a random gentleman comes over to the table and says, Angela, when you have a minute, I'd like to talk to you about something. It has to do with your, husband because he comes to my restaurant and immediately I thought this man was like a producer

because who would walk up to somebody randomly and say something like Kelly's friends I didn't know really what it was I genuinely because I was writing something down I looked up I was like oh it must be production like going off for a note or something like that's where production is absolutely involved because there's a waiver to show your face on these shows so he signed a waiver to be on the show yeah if you can sign the waivers after fine but still they know who he is I think that the producers paid this man. I think the producers got to this point in the season. They're like, we still haven't found an organic way to bring up Charles potentially cheating. What are we going to do? We're running out of time. Who's that guy? Give him a hundred bucks and tell him to walk up to

Angela. And he doesn't. Unbelievable. I really think that's what happened. It could be. That or Brit. You really can't discredit that theory at all based on what we saw. It could be Fajara. Fadra's the one that's been on it for a while. She's the one that brings it up and then she like laughs it off. Like, I don't, I didn't hear anything but she's brought it up multiple times like i didn't know charles had a wife like stuff like that look fadra's been shady in the past yeah and this dude's going on twitter now and saying that he's having a watch party for atlanta just as of sunday night and nobody responded to it nobody responded to it and then obviously you know once you do that and people find out who you are they're going to find out things about your past which don't look so great buddy no because you're a sex offender uh-huh so uh maybe that's real

by the way i'm not just throwing that out there that's a real thing somebody dug that up you got a arrested and no eight for something. So yeah, so it doesn't look too great for that. And the other part of it is what I saw, and I referenced this earlier with the podcast, Angelus said on a podcast the other day, she was going to quit halfway through the first season because of this type of shit. Oh, really? When people started asking questions about that, she's like, are we really going to go this route? And somebody even brought up the fact of Potomac a couple seasons ago. But they're like, yeah, I mean, you did kind of see that there. And she's like, oh, no, I know that.

And what happened? And what happened? And the show was awful. but she's like, I'm not going to put myself through that. I'm not going to put my family through that. And apparently Cynthia had to sit her down to discuss with her and convince her to stay. So thank you, Cynthia. Thank you, Cynthia, because Angela's great. And there is a core cast here. This show will be successful.

If they just make some small moves, I do think that they're on the right track with this cast of Atlanta. I've changed on. I think Shimea should be a friend of. I've completely just gone off on her. She was so great in the beginning of the season. I'm so bored with her now. So, like, let's not do, like, a complete wash. I know, but, like, I think she'd burn herself out in, like, two episodes.

Maybe so, but now she, it's her first season. I don't know if Cynthia would be. No, she's great in her current role. She's great, and I don't know if she would even be interested in it. She's an outstanding, outstanding in her current role. The show is so weird, though, because Drew gets the last seat in the reunion, and I feel like Drew's actually pretty good, and she's in the middle of everything. So that's kind of wild to me.

I don't, I, we'll have that discussion probably after the reunion episode, but I don't really know where the hell they go with they've got some some thinking to do on this one they do but i do do think that there's enough here i really truly do i don't i see but like the reason i don't agree with that have you been thoroughly entertained in the last like seven weeks no so do you think it's new producers and then like tweak the cast i'm not going to do that or i'm like we're already attacking producers we're on yeah people people want us to do more yeah they put us on someone uh posted one of our clips on twitter and they want us to lead a vendetta against uh Jerry and Alex Baskin. I'm not against it.

I wanted to comment on it and be like, men used to go to war, and now we do this, but you want it to go back to war? With these guys? But I think what happened is they tried to focus too much around Brit. And I think that was the big hiccup this season because people don't care. Yeah. And I think that if you get rid of Brit, they restructure a little bit, bring in somebody else, and Fager's there for an entire season.

I just think that this was wonky because they, were scrambling post-Kenia. And I think this is the fallout from that. Could just be floating along for Nini. Maybe so. And like if that's the, that could be what they need. I'm just saying, I think that they're on the right track.

I just think that they hit a big speed bump with Kenya and they did what they could to try to salvage it. And this is what we're seeing. But Marcus gives a cheers. Marcus being the scumbag that walks up to the table and goes, cheers if your name's Angela and your husband is cheating on you. I don't think that this dude knows. quite how lucky he is

that Charles Oakley didn't hear what he said Charles Oakley is known as the last enforcer in the NBA he would have fucked this dude up happily that was his job he was a hard ass on the court you're gonna fuck with that guy he's also what six seven

something like that like no bro I'm good yeah I wouldn't do that shit not for a hundred bucks from a Bravo producer that'd be a hot waffle maker in his hand do you want to do that he didn't need it though that was the whole thing was fucking wild. I thought Angela handled it well. She stays pretty mellow. And, you know, she brings up the fact that Charles has been extra mellow ever since Madison Square Garden when he

got the boot from there. So this whole thing to me was just confusing. Yeah. This is, who was this guy? Why did this happen? Are they, I don't know. And of course, like, in my head, I thought it was one of Kelly's friends that she was close or, you know, somewhat acquainted with. She completely walks over and just goes, I don't know who this is. This was open to the public. Could have been anybody who's this guy even fucking cheersing over there like the whole thing was just very weird very dirty yeah i don't like it disgusting i didn't care for any of it i don't like it at all and of course you know we're we're gonna get the reveal or we're gonna get some sort of breakdown next episode it's gonna be worse probably yeah it wasn't it's not fun you don't like

when people go out if there is tangible yeah tangible evidence of adultery happening and that gets brought up that's one thing yeah if you're trying to go on a witch hunt because it's one of Ashley Darby's friends. Correct. That was a nightmare. But that's my point. It can't come from, you know, Sesame Street or somebody that's not on the, the inn with the squad.

If somebody, like, sees something, you know, let's take it all the way to Scandival, where a lot of them saw Sandy and Raquel out at a bar, and that starts to bubble up, and then they're like, oh, putting pieces together, that's one thing. If you've heard a bunch of shit, but you don't have any real evidence and you're trying to attack a marriage, we don't like that. I think that's dirty. I agree. But Fadra fills in Portia and Britt about everything and Cynthia just so they're all on the same page before we get to the Ivy Showroom.

So now we're at the Black Glove event for Fadra's, is this her line? Or is this so like, I didn't really understand. It's just high in merchandise for her friends. It's her friend who owns the store. Got it. So it's that. And it's also a, you know, a little bit of a roundabout way of getting her sons featured. Hey, I'm all about it.

which, yeah, works out. All about that. But Porsche FaceTimes and her cousin, Lundy passed away. Londy's been on the show a couple of times, so it's really sad to hear. So she's not going to go to the event. They give a really sweet montage to her, and they put at the end of this, like in remembrance,

which I thought was nice. Good touch. But at Kelly's event, or they're talking about Kelly's event, excuse me, and giving an update about the whole Charles thing. But in the midst of that, Brit arrives and says hi to Kelly. We haven't seen a full. cold shoulder in a long time. I actually like that moment because

Britt is like, hi Kelly, and she doesn't even flinch. And then she says it again. Hi, Kelly. Doesn't flinch, cold shoulders. And this goes back to what Fadra said about Britt. She's always on go. She's always on go. And it's not

fun because somebody goes, yeah, we're telling the Charles story from the other night. And she's like, oh, we're going to tell a lot of stories. I'm like, why? Yeah. Why do you have to be at the center of everything? It just doesn't make any sense. And the easiest example of that is to look at somebody like Angela, who stays somewhat calm, cool, and collected until she gets activated a little bit,

and then she can rein it back in very quickly. That's way more enjoyable for us, and it's probably way more enjoyable for the castmates to be around. You don't want somebody who's going to go from zero to 100 and, like, half a second. Every single time you see them. Every time that you even look in their direction. It's like, whoa, we're not even talking about you right now. Like, what is this? She just always has a vendetta at somebody, and it's tiresome.

It's insecurity, and it's just like. That's all that. There's not really a place for insecurity on Housewives. I want Housewives that think that they're better than everybody. Most of them do. Yep. That's what we want. Yeah. The insecurity, it reeks of insecurity. And she has the audacity to say that I'm disappointed in Kelly. This glam thing could have been a blah, blah, blah, blah. It's like, look, the glam thing's seriously not that deep. No. Okay. And after your shit with Kenya, she went above and beyond for you in the aftermath. her shit goes down with her divorce clearly rattles her and you didn't call that's where a real friend looks past the glam thing and says hey i'm thinking about you but she's like because of that like i'm not going to call her which i think is horseshit so again team kelly but they're talking about charles and that random dude and angela's answer was baller as fuck yeah she's like we have some friends of ours every word of this without a doubt yeah she's like we had some friends that

really care about us and they went and paid this man a visit. It's like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Holy shit. Awesome. Wait, that's fucking cool. They found him. Yeah, they found him. Okay. Yeah. He's gone now. No, I'm just kidding. But I love that. And then I wanted to have like a GoPro on, on whoever talked to that guy. Yeah. I would have loved to have seen that, but that shit was cool, man. Meanwhile, Drew's locked out of the event, which is actually kind of funny. This was really funny. Yeah. And her being, and like, cutting back and she's like trying to kill time. She's like, Oh, those shoes are cute. She gets a chicken wing from a police officer.

She gets a chicken wing from a hot cop. Love that. Hell, yeah. What else are you going to do? I think she handled it. I think she handled it. This is the thing about Drew. I think she handled it better than a lot of housewives would have.

And it's really funny, though, because Atlanta, we talk about traffic so much. Yeah. There's always traffic here. There's always traffic there. It takes you. It is true. And it takes you two hours to get somewhere that it should take you about 25 minutes, but consistently. And I love when she says that.

And she's like, I took a picture of the. the traffic, and I said it, and I said, Fager, look, I'm in traffic. It's like, yeah. What time did you leave? There's traffic. Like, there's always traffic. You could have left an hour before, but you didn't. So, this is what you get. Yeah. I don't think that the video is exonerating.

But unless it's timestamped, like an hour and a half prior. Yeah. Then you're cool. And it's okay. Yeah. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember

988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder any time. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. I love ravioli.

Since when do you speak Italian? Since we partnered with SAP and Kerr, their integrated travel and expense platform and breakthrough solutions with AI gave me time back to dive into our financial future. We expand into Europe in 27, so I'm getting ready. Well, you can predict the future? I can predict you like

that message. What message? Oh, hey, we all got bonuses. You can save for college now. I don't have kids. Hmm, you don't say. SAP Concure helps your business move forward faster. Learn more at concur.com. You can get protein at home, or a protein latte at Tim's. No

powders, no blenders, no shakers. Starting at 17 grams per medium latte, Tim's new protein lattes, protein without all the work. I participating restaurants in Canada. But Britt and Kelly start getting chippy. They're going back and forth at each other and the insecurity thing comes out. She calls Britt insecure and Britt's like, you're insecure because of Nashville.

Again, going back to the whole idea that... We're the same type of dress. Yeah, and that she's claiming she looked better and that the stylists were talking shit about her now saying that you're always a mess, blah, blah, blah. So first stone is thrown by Kelly. I don't say that. She says to Fadre, talk to your pill-popping roommate. Which is, look, that's low.

Who do you think she was talking about? Her husband? Her mom? Britt. No. Talk to your pill-popping roommate. To Brit, she said that to. No, she told that to Fadra about Brit, because they were roommates in Grenada.

Oh, my God. There you go. I thought she was talking to Brit. No, no, no. I was so confused. I was like, wait, who are you talking to it? She was talking to Fadra about Brit. All right.

That clear things up. I heard this for the first time. I didn't know that. It changed the whole episode. Wow, I didn't know that. How about that? How about that? But like I said, that's low.

Okay, I will acknowledge that that's low. But the response was baffling. Yeah. Unless you want to talk about those abortions that you have when you were married. What? Yeah, what? That's not, the pill popping's low. You just dug a 30 foot hole and jumped down that to go that low.

That's fucking insane. Or you took a straight down to hell. Yeah. That's what they said. That's what Cynthia said. Yeah. And it's one of those moments that you get to see on housewives every once in a while where not one housewife is going to back her up. You can't.

Everybody's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And to liken it immediately to what she went through with Kenya, you went through some shit. We all backed you on that. That was fucked up. this is brutal this is terrible yeah so like how do you not learn a lesson from that like there is a line out there britt we don't care yes you're really annoying yes you go from zero to a hundred but there is a line out there somewhere you haven't really crossed it yet you've gotten pretty close you've flirted here and there with some cheating allegations whatever this was just so far past it

you didn't test the line at all it's crazy you're so far past the line the line is a dot to you yeah that's from friends joey says that to janler never watched it that's you're missing out man You're missing out. Meanwhile, Drew is still outside, and we get the fashion show begins. I said this to you when you got here. We need to bring capes back? Yes, we do. The exclusive cape in the beginning?

I still think they might be back. Are they? Yeah. Alan Cumming brought them back. Only for him. The Traders look. Only for him. Yeah, I got, I mean, that man, his style is 10 out of 10.

That's my favorite part of traders. Drew's allowed in. Luckily for everybody, Drew finally makes it into the door. And then we get the kids coming to show off there. I think Dylan walks in with his pants. Aidan gives a little speech, doing a little marketing, go to, and I'll give them a free ad. Thestararchive.com, you can get some pre-orders on some pants. And at this point, maybe the pants are done.

So this was filmed a while ago. Hopefully. Go buy some pants from these kids. But it ends with Britt and Shemia talking and Britt saying that she can't be a fake-ass bitch, implying that Kelly's been fake. Mm-hmm. I don't think Kelly's been fake. I think Kelly is finished with you because she's seeing you for who you are and has pulled back and has replaced you with Shamiya and other women in this group.

And I think that you feel some type of way about that. So you're going as low as you can to try to throw some stones at her. I wonder if, because we've seen a lot of different variations of Brit throughout the season. I wonder if what Brit was before she was around all these women before she was filming for the show is more like the Brit that we've seen on vacation where she's like, topless in like putting her boobs on the fucking counter or something like that and having a good time and not being that like serious about everything. I wonder if that's what it was because I can't really imagine a world in which somebody like Kelly that we've seen all season and somebody like Brit are best friends.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And I think what we're seeing is that. But we're also seeing that she found somebody like Shamiya who is a good friend, who can be a very good friend and is very nice. And they share the same ideals. They show up and they donate to charity around the same amounts. $200 and three boxes of tissues. A couple boxes of tissues and maybe a paper towel or two.

That's a completely different thing. So it's just hard for me to imagine the two of them being best friends if this is who Brit is all the time. That's a good point. I wonder and there's a psychology thing. I'm sure we need to. There's the show effect where all of a sudden you just turn into somebody that you're not and you're just fucking out there. I told you somebody wanted to make a psychology hats and I can't find the DM.

So if you're listening to this, message us again. Can you just search psychology? And try out it. Yeah, I tried it. Email us. I can't find it. I really want the psychology ads. But yeah, I agree with you.

I think that's the easiest way to explain it is that she saw a side of it, but she hadn't seen before. And the show, that happens. We've seen that happen to other franchises. You get somebody new on the show. It's been friends with somebody for a while. All of a sudden, the show takes hold. They start doing too much, turn to somebody else. And then the friendship falls apart.

Yep. So that makes sense to me. But I imagine next week's the finale. It is. Yeah. All right. So we'll see how they tie it up. Just to, as a PSA to everybody, the finale is next week.

We have two weeks until the reunion. Two weeks until they were? Because they're not airing on Fourth of July weekend. Okay. Yeah. Which, you know, that's fine. I'll be down the shore. Yeah, whatever.

But, uh, okay. Well, there you go. So you want to show that's definitely not going to stop. What? Fucking Love Island. Oh, my God. That shows so good. You don't care about holidays.

I have, I have a lot to say about last night's episode. Obviously, we'll get into that on Wednesday. But, yeah, I'm, uh, not thrilled. where we're at currently. We've lost the plot. Yeah, I'm not thrilled with it. So hopefully they're able to rein it back in. But let's get some questions about Atlanta.

First one up here, this is a very important question from J-Bay-the-Hutts-7-13. Would you rock bell bottoms? I think I would go on, yeah. Why, like, jeans for dudes are coming back a little bit. I don't really like how I look at them. Not like the Jenko jeans from the 90s. No, not that serious, but. I think there's a world in which I would give it a shot, yeah.

I take some risks here and there. I would try it. I agree. From a deer into headlights. Sketchy that Kelly's stylist is seemingly on Brits' side when she seems clearly in the wrong. That's what we were talking about earlier. Yeah, we're confused too. It's very, very confusing because we liked Paris.

Yeah. But coming out of the woodwork and going on Twitter and defending the other person who seemingly no one in the audience or on the cast really likes is kind of a weird move. It's a strange move, but that you could argue is even more reason to believe it. Until we get more concrete evidence, we don't like to speculate on third parties on Twitter. Mm-hmm. It gets messy. And last one here from Chris Mondello.

So we all agree that producers paid that guy to go up to Angela, right? Thank you. Yeah. There we go. I really think so, yeah. Yeah, it seems like people were thinking that. But again, you know, it kind of fell off a little bit so people aren't talking about it as much. It's hard to get a grip on what everybody's thinking.

On, like a good read. Yeah. Like, you'll always know what we're thinking. Yep. But the rest of you, who knows? I don't know. But yeah, one more week. We'll see what they do.

See how they wrap it up. Yep. I've got faith in next season. We have to sit with it for two weeks. And really ponder on it. Thankfully, this isn't some crazy good season that we need everything right now. I know. Because if we had to wait two weeks until a reunion after a great finale,

that would be hard. That would suck. That would be tough. But that's all I got. You got anything else? Nope. That's our show. Bro's got to go.
