Hello listeners, this is Mike Corey of Against the Odds. You might know that I adventure around the world while recording this podcast. And over the years, I've learned that where I stay when I travel can make all the difference. Airbnb has been my go-to place for finding the perfect accommodations. Because with hotels, you often don't have the luxury of extra space or privacy. Recently, I had a bunch of friends come down to visit in Mexico. We found this large house and the place had a pool, a barbecue, a kitchen, and a great big living room to play cards, watch movies, and just chill out. It honestly made all the difference

in the trip. It felt like we were all roommates again. The next time you're planning a trip, whether it's with friends, family, or yourself, check out Airbnb. To find something you won't forget. Prince Harry spent his life living in the shadow of his mother's tragic death. But when he falls in love, he realizes it's up to him to stop history from repeating itself. In our new series, Prince Harry wins her of change. We'll tell you how a Prince without direction became a duke who found a family. Listen to even the rich on the Wendery app or wherever you get your podcasts. Rapids. You're a crap. Oh, but you don't really know what you're saying.

You can't just watch. Rapids, rapids, so much that Rapids. Hello and welcome to Watch or Crapins. A podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. I'm Ben Mandelker and joining me today is Mr. Ronnie Karem. Hi, Ronnie. How are you? Good.

How you doing, baby? Well, I got panic just now because my phone just blared and said public seat dealer, and I was like, oh no, what's happening now? The 10 freeway, like there was a fire over the weekend, did you hear about this? No, what happened? Well girl, girl, girl, there was a fire. Girl, there was like a fire, like under the freeway.

And basically the 10 freeway is closed at downtown and it's like the city is losing its mind right now and I just got a public service alert right now as we're starting to podcast. And I'm like, well, this is a great way. This is a great way to launch into a recap of Real Housewives of Potomac with the story about a freeway crumbling.

It's very current uger anyway. How are you doing, Rami? So the freeway is crumbling? What happened? I don't understand. Well, it's got like crumble potential. So I think the right now they're like, welcome to Los Angeles, ladies and gentlemen.

You know, being back in Los Angeles last week was so, so nice. It was great to see everybody see the city, but I have to say my general review, my, I think if I had to give LA a general note, is you've got crumble potential. Literally the whole town, I was like, wow, we're still stamping, huh? You guys have any tape? Like, what are we taping this town together? Because seriously, driving up through those hills, everything's falling down.

The roads are sliding backwards on the thing. This is a lot of crumple potential. Yeah, like, honestly, like whenever I go into fast casual restaurant now, and they say, tell us how we did I'm like rumble pretend rumble pretend surprise your roof is still there Yeah So yeah anyway, so the freeway is like close and it's drama Maybe more drama than some of some of these shows on Bravo these days, but that's okay because you know

I don't know why I'm being negative. The shows are actually full of drama right now. It's actually the shows are all really good. What's going on with me? It's a Monday. So anyway, we have a big date today because we're recapping Real Housewives of Potomac. And then we have crappy hour later today.

For those who don't know, crappy hour is our live show that we do on Instagram live. Come follow us at watch. I'm at watch where crap ends. Follow Ronnie at Ronnie Carram. I'm at Ben Mandelker. It's on Instagram. We do that at 830 on the East Coast, which is of course 530 on the West Coast.

Then basically, Ronnie and I talk about Brava. We talk about news, gossip, whatever it is, things that are on our mind. Towards the end, we open it up our mind, you know, towards the end, we open it up for all of you to, you know, come on and join us and talk. So we have so much fun when we do it every two weeks. It's happening tonight. Don't miss it. So that's gonna be happening. And yeah, it's gonna be really fun. I'll be joining us. Yeah, there you go, everybody. Okay, well, here we are with some real housewives. Oh, also just a schedule announcement for the week. We are gonna do below deck this week.

There are too many shows. Yes, it's true. But, you know, there's some Kyle drama below deck and we have to do it, you know? Yes, I'm glad you brought that up because honestly, like we are kind of over subscribed at the moment with these shows, but like the Kyle drama, we know it's gonna make us so mad and sometimes

we just have to recap the shows that are gonna make us mad. Like choose anger. Yeah, we're gonna choose anger this week because like I'm already so angry. So I mean as you can tell, because I just like slammed all the bravo shows for no reason. So yeah, we will be doing below deck. So Potomac meanwhile, we have the second episode we met new housewife. Okay, listen, I love Potomac. Potomac is one of the strongest franchises on Bravo, and I enjoyed last night's episode. I'm concerned with the sheer volume of on-screen animations and gags and

cutesy things. I think this is like, this is a bad sign. I'm gonna need Provo to pull back. It's about to turn into Big Brother, like the TV show. Okay, like Big Brother is like the home on TV for slide whistles and sound effects and like, you know, like little horns and clown sounds. And we don't need that on our bravo. And Potomac is like teetering into that, not even teetering. It actually has like one full foot into that space. So just a note to Bravo, if you happen to be listening, can we just like not do this to one of your best franchises? Thank you very much.

Yeah, you've never really been a big fan of that kind of stuff. I don't mind it too much. I mean, I appreciate somebody just kind of trying to string me along, you know, if I'm like nodding off or not into it that much yet. And they're like, this is good. And here's why, because we've used the final cut titles. And it's good. I'm like, oh my god, it's good. There was a slide whistle. This is really good. I'm the kind of person like, if there's a

laugh track on a sitcom, I think it's hilarious. You know, like all those old sitcoms, I was like, oh my god, he's telling me to laugh because people are laughing and it's working. I don't understand modern like sitcoms with no laugh track. I just don't think anything's funny. Like I literally need to be told this is funny, Ronnie. You know? Yeah, I mean, I do too, because I'm definitely a bandwagon person. So if I hear other people laughing, I'll be like,

ha, ha, ha, ha. But I just think, and I think that there is a space for on screen antics and that's like fun. I just think like use them, don't overdo it. Okay, like they really hit gold last year when they came up with the like the police sketch of Juan's mistress from Karen's brain. Like probably more the best visual gag

Bravo has ever done. But now it's just like every two seconds and it just, I always worry when a show does this too much that it's like it's a bad sign. Orange County also sort of went into that space a little bit this past season, but I feel like they had a good season. So it doesn't mean it's gonna be a bad season,

but I just don't need bells and whistles necessarily. Well, there were moments that, you know, there are always moments when a housewives season begins that I'm worried, because I'm always thinking, this is it, you know what I mean? I've been waiting for it to end for years, and I'm just because I'm always thinking this is it. You know what I mean? I've been waiting for it to end for years and I'm just terrified that it's coming and it's kind of like when it's Sunday and you know you have to go to school the next day and the weekend's over and I just I don't enjoy half

the weekend because half of it I'm friting about getting my ass kicked at school and I guess that really has nothing to do like I'm not being bullied by the housewives or anything. But I just really wanted to share that. No, but you know, it's just that I'm always afraid for the end. So I'm always afraid for the end, but they just keep going and they keep going strong. Every time I'm a little afraid,

like there's a sound effect, or I know you're gonna be upset about a title on a screen. And then I'm like, no, there's an Ijury, there's like ancient Nigerian tribal drama. So, I mean, come on. Is there a bigger hug that the Bravo producers could have given us than this? I mean, just when you think they can't come up

with anything else, ancient tribal drama. I mean, come on. It's a nice twist. I have to say it is a nice twist. I mean, come on. It's a nice twist. I have to say it is a nice twist. I mean, I enjoyed the episode. Don't get me wrong. I don't know if I understood why it was supersized, but I did enjoy it.

But also, this episode was special because we got our taglines for the new season. And do you want to dive into those? You want to do some taglines? Sure. We open with Jacelle, who is just leaning into the only redeeming quality about herself, her children, which I was very surprised that she did a whole tagline

about her children. There's no word on the streets. Like, you are the word on the streets. Like, I need to know who the word on the streets is the season. If it's not Jezel, who is it? Or at least your hot, you know, pretend boyfriend that you've got. Okay, so hers is, I'm no angel, but give me some grace,

and you'll learn to adore me. It's weird, it feels like Shazana Games show with the Giver Three words, and they tell her to make a sentence in under five seconds, they're like, okay, your words are angel, grace, and adore. Go, oh, okay, your words are angel grace in a door. Go, oh, I'm no angel, I'm some great son, I need to, oh damn, I didn't get the last daughter in there. So then we have Ashley who says, you don't have to dig for gold when you shine bright. Yes, you do. What does one have to do with the other? Of course you do.

You have to dig for gold until you've got the damn gold. I'm shining like the top of the Empire State Building because I'm moisturized too much, but I still would dig for gold. I feel like nothing is ever gonna top. Dr. Heavenly last week on Maritum Edison saying, quad is a gold digger, but what's the new girls name again?

Latisha, not Latisha. Yeah, sweet tea. Oh, sweet tea. Sweet tea is a copper digger. That's what I'm always gonna think of now when people talk about digging for gold. So then we go to Robin next. But also, I mean, if Ashley's gonna lean into the gold digger

thing after all these seasons, it needs to be something like, I went for the ring and I ended up with golem or something. Like, I'm really going to convince us, try and convince us all this time later that you're not a gold digger. I mean, for fuck's sake, lady, like lean into it. You married Michael.

No one marries Michael for the love. No, that is official. No one does. Nor the conversation, okay. I'm right. Hey, O.D. You. All right, go ahead. Oh, this is me.

Robin. I just took a DNA test and it turns out I 100% don't care. That's just lazy tagline. You could do that to any tagline. You can't just end the tagline and just say I don't care anymore. You can't give up in the middle of lazy tagline. You could do that to any tagline. You can't just end the tagline and just say, I don't care anymore. You can't give up in the middle of your tagline, but that is also the most robin thing ever.

I don't care. I know, I think if you had to describe Robbins' personality in three words, it would be, I don't care. Robbins, your husband's cheating. I don't care. Robbins, your husband was your long term whatever whatever was just caught on air in the pantry saying he just wants out of you and without the kids he would have been out of there a long time.

I don't care. Robin you have to finish this sentence. I don't care. Oh actually that worked out because we did write that in for you. We anticipated that would be something you would say by the end of your tagline this year. That deer made tests. I'm also related to, I don't care. Then we have Candace.

I think for the first time in the history of house, why I was actually singing in her tagline where she goes, when they go low, did she have to pay six figures to get her singing into the show? Because I love that last week when she's like, I paid $100,000 or whatever to go on to her. I don't need you singing in the thing, ma'am. Love your music, doing a great job with your songs. Also, you know, a bravo con, they played drive back probably every other song, so I heard it a lot, and I was like, good, this is a good song, but please be quiet. Also, Candy, I think, did it first,

but she didn't get a whole musical number like this one. Candy's like, I enjoy it, you honder. Remember Candy? She was like, something, and then something, something. You know, I're probably right. I mean, it's been like many years and many taglines. But also I have to say... It was just that one note at the end. Ha! But that's also like Candy just has so much vocal modulation just when she talks, so

who knows. But also, by the way, that just goes to show. Candy is like a Grammy award winner who's written some like the most enduring pop songs of all time. And I just love, she doesn't feel like, years and years she's never really sung on the show. But Candace is like, I have one song that was received well by a small community. So I'm a singing out, all singing out.

It's like, well, okay. Okay. So Wendy is next and hers is, if you're gonna test this this professor be prepared to fail Wow, that means you're not a great professor then I guess because if your students are all failing that's Is that I guess true right? Wait, but if you're testing the professor then isn't the professor the one who's taking the test? So when the why would the administrator of the test actually fail?

That's my question if I'm giving you a test, then how am I failing? I'm the test giver. Yeah. That doesn't matter. When do you turn around the test on you? Like, you have the answers. Now you answer it, too. Well, Wendy is obviously a very smart person with many degrees as we've learned over her

tenure on the show. She doesn't think things through, really. Here's something we didn't hear about today, candles. Okay. They're not here about wicks. And then we didn't hear about the restaurant with Peter. And then we see here that her TV show ideas, we get to later, which for some reason she's renting an apartment for a TV show ideas, we get to later, which for some reason she's renting an apartment

for a TV show. Yeah. I actually hate this for Wendy because I feel like Wendy is probably one of the smartest people on the housewives. And it bothers me that she is in sort of like the phage remote and there's always like a housewife who does this where every season they come back and they just have,

they just decide that there's a new thing that they're gonna work on, which is to me, like, hey, it's very fake, but I feel like it kind of like devalues her. Like I don't want Wendy to be like the one who goes to the flea market and set and the picks out an item and says, I wanna make this.

And now like, that's what she does. She shows up, she's like, I don't know how to do it. Last year it was like, oh, I'm gonna make a candle. I don't know how to do it. Last year it was like, oh, I'm going to make a candle. I don't know how to do this. A business plan. What's that? And this year she's like, oh, a talk show.

But I don't know what I want to call it. I'm like, I don't like that for Wendy. Well, you know, like think about it before you go on the air maybe, I guess. But then we'd probably be saying, oh, that's fake. She has no back candles. Whatever. If she just showed up, like, guess what? I'm going to have three wicks. We probably be saying, oh, that's fake. She has no back candles. Whatever, if she just showed up like, guess what? I'm gonna have three wicks.

We'd be like, oh, really? And maybe it's better that she's like, how many wicks should I have? Whatever her thing is. Or like, how much does this cost? I don't know, the TV show thing, I don't think the lady she's talking to really knows either, but we need to wait until that scene comes.

I'm sorry, I'm the one who jumped on that. So then is, I think it's you. Neck, neck. Yeah. Nigeria raised me, L.A. made me, and Potomac will remember me. Did you die? Okay. Did I?

Did I? Are you dead? It's just our first ghost tagline. I'm on Thomas will remember me. I'm wanting to show. You dead is just our first ghost, our first ghost tagline. I'm on tell them to remember me. I'm wanting to show. She sort of had a New York accent to me. I feel like, because she says, Nigeria raised me, LA made me,

but I feel like there was a stop in New York somewhere along the way. Where's that just my ear? Am I just hearing New York accents? I don't know, I didn't hear that one. So then Mia is next and she's like, it doesn't matter the science of her home, I'm always the queen of this castle. White castle, what queen are you the met?

You are not the queen of a castle, stop that now. I'm the queen of this studio apartment building. And then the last tagline carrying this is, I'm the queen of this studio apartment building. And then the last tagline carrying this is, this is, this is a wild one. I don't ride the fence honey. I am the fence. You ride me. What? First of all, the season right after you were accused of fucking a bus boy in the bathroom

is probably not the season to have you ride me on your tagline. Second of all, who's like, honey, I am the fence. What the, what kind of tagline is this? And why do I love this tagline? I think this is one of the all-time classic taglines. Yeah, it is hilarious. Oh, so the metaphor of writing the fence is basically like, there's like a line and, you know, someone's like, you know, not coming to either side.

So it's Karen saying she's like the neutral party in this group because that's definitely not true either. Like even on a metaphorical level, this line doesn't work, but it is hilarious. Well, a lot of times these are based on their storyline, so maybe Karen is just trying to keep people out of her yard the whole time, I don't know. I am the fence. I am the fence. Mm.

Or she's gonna pick up fencing. She's gonna have like her little epa. This is, yeah, something Bravo, they're the line-by-dance. Oh, really? You're here to learn fencing? I am the fencing. I'm an Olympic sport. I'm an institution.

Athletics. Yeah, the line writers these days, you can tell that we've been in a writer's strike because let's also not forget over on Beverly Hills crystals, which is like, they say age comes with wisdom, but I'm proving them wrong. It's like, oh, what's the word that one? You're funny to pretend the writers

have ever had anything to do with this show. Yeah, writers hate this show. I feel like. Guys, Shakespeare's on break. Yeah, can we get Shakespeare off of strike for Christ's sake? Can we just pass? Berets are allowed in every green room and get Shakespeare back here. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I just like to think that there's a world in which professional writers come in and like, okay, I, I went to Tish, I learned writing at Tish and then at USA and I'm going to write a line for Crystal Kong and it's going to, that's going to be about getting stupider with age. I am the French. Okay. so then we go to an Ashley and her mother scene. Now Ashley is just notoriously full of shit.

I think out of all the housewives, I think she's one of the more charming and she gets away with the most I think because she does have such a charm. But God, this lady is a liar. She is such a fucking liar. Am I supposed to believe one thing coming out of Ashley is now? She goes to buy plants for her housewarming, and the house that Michael's not paying for, when we know it's, or it's only in her name,

which we all know is not true, right? Isn't that like set up and taking care of the kids all alone when they show a cup of banana, literally standing in her kitchen while she's telling us this. And she's not together with Michael, but they did just take a trip to the Bahamas together, which had nothing to do with anything, which is why she didn't tell anybody

that Michael was even going, come on now. What? Michael did something to Candace and the Bahamas? I have no idea. What? I know. Do I need to see anything to him? I also just like when she walked around this nursery,

like pretending like she actually goes to nursery and understands what's going on. She walks up to some chives. She has chives. No one ever says that when they see chives, not even me. And I'm a chive. I'm pro chive. I'm no anti chive person.

I am the fence. You ride the chives. I mean, I ride the I'm the chives! I mean, I ride the...I'm a chive! I mean, you put a chive on me and there's a chive on my back. It's time for commercial. It's time for a crap. Today, hip-hop dominates pop culture, but it wasn't always like that. And to tell the story of how that changed, I want to take you back to a very special year in rap.

88 It was too much good music. The world was on fire. I'm Will Smith. This is Class of 88, my new podcast about the moments, albums, and artists that inspired a sonic revolution, and secured 1988 as one of hip-hop's most important years. We'll talk to the people who were there, and most of all, we'll bring you some amazing stories. You know what my biggest memory from that tour is? It was your birthday.

Yes, and you brought me to Shoday's life-size hard work. This is Class of 88, the story of a year that changed hip hop. Listen to Class of 88 wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge the entire series right now on the Amazon Music app or audible. It's commercial. So she meets her mom and Ashley's like, you know, I'd come here pretty regularly. And she was like, oh yeah, that's the house.

It just gave you life. I just love it. She's like, oh my god, I'm preparing my home to welcome the ladies for my housewarming party. And then we see the inviting ladies on the phone section. Yeah. And Joseelle's just like, what's going on over there? Ah, I've been to your house yet, ah!

And as she's like, I'm gonna have a party! Well, I will grace you with my presence because I adore a new house and I'll act like a perfect angel. Like, I just don't have to keep incorporating your daughter's names into every sentence. Mmm. Well, my house is my little safe space.

It's my sanctuary. No, it's not. Michael has a key. No one in the safe space. Michael should not have keys to safe spaces. There. That's what I'm trying to say. You have toddlers standing on your counter that like negates any sort of, it's literally

not a safe space. You know what it's sort of, it's literally not a safe space. You know what it's like, it's not like a, it's orange. It's orange. It's not safe for oranges because you were right that baby did have a that's orange and then orange. You were right last week.

Listen, yeah, that was intense. I mean, I'm surprised there were no eyeballs that were poked out and were arms that came out of sockets. After that scene, this is literally the out of sockets after that scene. This is literally the opposite of a safe space for anyone. It's definitely not a sanctuary either. So yeah, so she's talking about this house warming and Sheila's asking if, you know,

if lump is gonna be theirs, of course lump is gonna go. And then Ash is talking about like, all the people she's inviting, including her new friend Neca. And she had like met, she met her through someone named Gazi or someone. And then just a story, it's both those like bullshit stories

you say at the start of the season when there's a new person like, oh yeah, I met this girl and her name is Neca. And I was at Best Buy and we both reached for the same USB cable and I was like you're cool she's like you're cool so I invited her over and she gets to stay with all the varsity level people. Yeah and so we see last week actually having lunch with Nekka and Nekka is like yeah actually I know Wendy I well I know F Wendy I mean she's good friends with my cousin-in-law, and I met her once at a concert,

and we had a conversation. She's nice. She's nice. They're not even pretending anymore. Just, I mean, I'm not even pretending to actually have a pre-existing relationship, you know? I know.

Just this lady was cast, so she moved here. And she's gonna be great. Yes. So then Sheila's talking, she's like asking if Michael is gonna be invited to the House of Marine Party and Ash is like, well, he would be invited, but like, you know, we did go to the Bahamas

and like we had a great time and like we're so like navigating co-parenting and like, you know, it was going really well and I didn't think any was what just goes on and on about the Bahamas and Michael and she's like doing her typical Ashley thing where she puts like this really warm happy spin on what was probably a very unpleasant experience. I'm googling Michael Darby Bahamas Candice Concert. Let me see what happened. Do you remember this story? No, vaguely. I do remember vaguely that there's something, but I don't remember it very well.

Michael Darby, this is from all about the team. Michael Darby attempts to confront Candace and gets turned away. Michael Darby showed up to Candace,ard Bassett's concert to confront the singer according to a fan on Twitter Twitter user live by Olivia. Oh, I hope this is Olivia from me Jersey Tweety the photo Michael Derby talking to an unidentified woman in a public place I really can't believe Michael Derby came to the real can'test concert just to talk about Ashley and be messy.

It's giving desperate the friend root. So this is what they're talking about, right? I guess so. I guess so. Yeah. Oh Chris. Oh, so I'm so sorry. I keep reading this. Can'test's no. Countess, Countess's husband, Chris Bassett,

replied to the fans post and tweeted, I love your work, little girl. You keep giving them hell on real housewives of New Jersey. And shout out to this woman in the pic, telling him he need to hashtag rollout. Chris then took to his Twitter to retweet the photo. Damn man, we can't go nowhere. And this bomba fucking shit up.

Hashtag real housewives of Potomac. Fucking Chris. Chris Bassett. Why are you tweeting like that? Come on. I'm just imagining, I can totally see Olivia having a little gossip blog and there's like a picture of her in the corner like looking very coy.

Like I know everything. Like ask Olivia and I would subscribe by the way. Olivia just in a big hat, you know. Should be like the new live Smith. My name is Eagle. Don't tell no one. Cindy Adams. She could join a storied legacy of gossip reporters.

Yeah. So Ashley talks about being in the Bahamas with Michael and how they're just friends. And they're just parents. And you know, they're parenting together and friending together. He just happens to show up at Resorts to bully people that she doesn't like.

Just had a friendship. You know how it rolls. And Sheila's like, well, I was shocked when we facetimeed and he was like, oh, hi Sheila. I was like, oh, oh, Michael. And then she's like, I was a little worried there. This is Sheila's nightmare. Anytime she sees Michael in Ashley's content

or on a facetime, she's like, oh my God, please don't get back together with the golem. Please don't do it. I'm actually just not telling anybody in her family. And I love that Michael is just crashing, speaking of crashing. He's always crashing her secrets because she's like, I'm not going to tell my mom. Gee, maybe I'll FaceTime my mom. It was just Michael passes by.

Oh, Sheila. Hi, hiiloh. Hi, hi, she law. Yeah, so then we see, like now Ash is talking about how, like, the, the other lawsuit about like how Mike, well, the same lawsuit, Michael, trying to, Sue Candace about everything that he said, and she's saying that, that this really did affect his business, et cetera. I'm like, you know what probably also affected his business Seven years of him showing up on the show and being lurcherous. That's probably what also affected his business. Yeah sexual harassment charges probably didn't do

Great Just anytime he just kind of appeared on camera. Maybe that clip of him going. Yeah, I think Michael kind of did that to himself. Okay, I'm so, Ashley's like, yeah, you know, I just have no, I don't know anything about this lawsuit. I mean, it has nothing to do with me. What? What's a lawsuit? What? What's a lawsuit? I mean, there has nothing to do with me. What? Lossy. What's a lawsuit?

What? What's a lawsuit? I can't. Did those go with potatoes like chives? It's a chives. Chives. What's a lawsuit? Can you get it at Northland?

What fit me? I don't know. And then we see a headline, real housewives of Potomac Michael Dobby, files lawsuit against campus delayed for two2 million of a sex claim. Yeah, so yeah, this is where she's like, I really affected him. So, um, so Sheila's like, so I guess it's safe to say Candy Kane, won't, can't come to your party. So basically Candace is not invited to housewarming,

which works out because as we find out later, Candace, oh actually we find out like right now. Oh no we don't, sorry, but Candace is going to LA for her music career so it all worked out anyway. But now we go over to the Jefferson Memorial where Mia and Karen meet up very formally because Karen shakes Mia's hand and Bravo, multiple times, points out that this is Karen's acquaintance handshake. You have to work your way back up to the hug level. Yes, and Mia just comes to this park or this public park or wherever they are. Mia's just posing. She's like, I'm looking home in the water now.

I'm the queen of this link. And Karen comes and she's like, hmm, nice to meet you. Well, we're going to have to have a conversation with Mia, hmm, nice to meet you. Well, we're gonna have to have a conversation with me on, but very nice to meet you. I'm French. I'm the French. I'm the one that's protecting you from falling into this title basin or whatever it's called.

So, me as I, oh, thank you for coming at and I think the time to meet me here. And Karen's like, well, Mia has come to Jesus moment, or I guess in this case, just come to the Jefferson Memorial moment. And we see a flashback of last week Mia reaching out to Karen and being like, you know, we haven't seen each other in a while, we should. Um, it's a new season and we should be allies again. So let's repair this, shall we?

So, Karen's like, what disappointed me the most about Mia? What, lying basically, well, stretching the truth, the line, was that she's blind, but that's at the end of the day, at least, in her lie I was having sex with a viral busboy in a bathroom, which, the end of the day, it's not the worst lie. It could have been true.

Well, the thing that I really love about me is she's a flattering liar. Very flattering liar, so. She really got the ball rolling on the whole, you ride me thing. You know what I'm saying? So, said the same thing to her about spoil last year, allegedly in a lie. I never expected Mia to get on the rumor bandwagon, but I guess that's what she's writing instead of a Karen fence, and you know, I didn't expect it to betray me like that.

Just like Judas betrayed Jesus when he said Jesus was fucking a busboy possibly in a bathroom. For the biggest betrayants of all time. You know how that goes? Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

Chimes. So Karen's like, why does it smell like onions around here? So Karen's like, well last year I was pissed off in the ball because I've been nothing but a friend to you even though I'd only just recently learned what your name was. And then we see evidence of Karen being a friend is that the group gathered last year for the cherry blossoms all basically. What's the deal with Mia? Is she sick? Is she not sick? And Karen's like, well, maybe we should ask questions. She's such a friend.

What a good friend. What great evidence of great friends. This is just like her saying something like very normal, you know? Yeah. Just totally logical. So back to Karen and me awocking, Karen's like, I've never, never stabbed you in the back. Never mind what you did.

What you said about me was nothing but lies that could have possibly been true. Am I still gorgeous enough for bus boys to offer to be in bathrooms? Of course. Of course. No, no, no, no, no, let's clear this up, let's clear this up. Okay. Alright, like, my first one, what did I even say about you? Because I want to clear this up. Well, you lied when you brought back Aruma about me being with a friend of a sewing sale on a rune who knows what and what's Nicole did. you know where? But that wasn't a lie. Someone told me that, Karen. So well, it wasn't a fact.

It wasn't a fact. I think why is it a fact? Because Mia's logic is that not whether or not the rumors true, but it was true that someone told her that. So therefore, by her, just merely saying what she was told, that's like, on a saleable because like, she just merely repeated a story and the story actually happened. Like the telling of the story initially happened,

so that was what was fair. That's meologic. Yes. And Karen's trying to explain to her what girl code is. She's like, you know, when you're married women, men, we are. You don't break the girl code. The way you broke the girl code My husband has been so disrespected. I mean now listen raise always up for a little eye candy Right right girl. Oh, I get back. I was like so the the anger that you hear in my voice This is okay. This is the anger sound

Oh, and this is the sound of me being ridden because someone thinks I'm a picket fence, aww, you understand the difference between the two sounds. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha married woman. They've actually hired me on the show. Why about? You actually have to walk across my back without falling into a pool of water. Good luck! They tried doing a reboot of fences and I said I'm sorry, but I am the fences. Sorry. I tried to see August Wilson but turns out he's past. He's unfortunate. You want to look about me August Wilson okay so Mia is um okay girlfriend okay let's talk about me now okay so

girlfriend Gordon's really going through it I mean we're both going through it honestly I'm gonna sell the queen and Karen's like, hmm, and you and Gordon, though, do you know, I'm gonna ask. Now, I don't like rumors. So I'm gonna say this. I know Jacelle has said the word in Baselman. I don't like rumors. Let me just repeat one on screen for you. So a flashback to the reunion where it just looks like it seemed like a bezel mint. And so we come back and me and it's like yeah and that's bullshit and there was no bezel man and that's no ever and come and say okay so it's the next step. It's the next step right?

I was like you know I just heard all these rumors. You know about this. He lost his boat and he can't even get the fish sticks anymore. No that's Gordon's fisherman. That's not Gordon my husband. There's a tea in that one. This is a D in Gordon. She was like, well, I didn't know what she said.

I was telling the truth or not because I really don't know if he was in Bessling. I didn't really know what that word was. But, you know, I said, listen, Gordon is there something I need to know? And then, of course, of course not. You know, Karen, you know, I was going through a lot last year, but I'm good now. I'm in a better place now. Smaller.

All right, well, I'm really not in a better place. Gordon is still there. You know, Gordon's much closer to look at. Not that he's poor. I'm really not sure what to do with that guy. My life sucks basically, but I don't drink anymore, so. Oh, the girl's gonna have a fit. You know that going to force the booze on you,

which is, well, I mean, I do drink wine, you know, because, you know, you can get at the grocery store and it's like an intraconal ryan's made from grapes. Anyway, it's just like I'm losing my mind. And I'm like, oh, okay, that doesn't make sense, but I'm just not gonna push it right now. So now me is doing the typical thing that Bravo Stars do where she blames,

she says she stopped drinking so that now she can say everything I did wrong was because of drinking. Yeah, she says, well, I should not have been drinking in Miami at all because I was on medication that I just remembered I was on. And Karen does this thing with her face. She does like the sock puppet reacting face. You know, like sock puppets can really just open

and close their mouth, that's it. So when they react, when people make sock puppets react, that's like a really big reaction to sort of like sell the emotion. And that's actually, even more a sock puppet, you go up and down with your hands like for the mouth, but then when you're shocked, you make a fist almost.

You know? Well, you can do the fists. You can also do the thing where you slide your fingers down below the mouth. So it's like, that's actually more of the Kermit the Frog being like, what the hell face? But then there's the, Kermin really does do that with her mouth.

Mm. So I'm like, oh my God, Peter was alcohol mixing water story, There's the... Huh? Yeah. Karen really does do that with her mouth. Mmm. I'm saying, oh my god, Peter was alcohol mixing water story, Wendy. Thank you so much for sharing. Huh. What a beautiful story and a beautiful share. You're such a brave girl, Wendy. Shut up, brave girl.

Wow, you know, it's, I love an impassioned story because it really feels like you're just swinging for the me's I'm sorry swinging for the fences Emotionally of course I don't know what I'm saying anymore the point is that was a bold and brave and your courageous story that one sentence that you just said And I think I've decided I'm gonna discard everything I was mad at and you should have a conversation with Wendy because I think she would be very Empathetic to the fact that you are on drugs. Yeah, basically, she's like, wow, congratulations on your deep new storyline.

I'm out of here. Bye. Well, they shake hands and me saying, oh my God, and thank you so much. It means you gave her me a meal today. She said, well, we'll have to teach you how to shake with intensity. All right, that was a very weak shake. So then they do like a jockey, like secret handshake type of thing. Oh, that's interesting.

Yes, that's fun. That's very fun. Hello, can I get Robert on production? I never want to do that handshake again. Thank you. So then we go to Candace's house, and she, I'm gonna get Robert on production. I never want to do that handshake again. Thank you. Well, so then we go to Candace's house and she, so what's it, her door and she's like, black man, black man.

And it's her manager and New Year's Eve. Oh, I'm sorry, Nye, Nye, sorry. Yeah. His name is Nye, I thought it was New Year's Eve because it's NYE. Yeah. His name is Nye, I thought it was New Year's Eve because it's N-Lye. Yes, this guy. And they started, I was reading my notes. I'm like, what am I talking about?

What's happening on it? You say New Year's Eve out right now. The minute you said New Year's Eve, I was just flooded by like, unkept promises to myself. And I was like, what are you doing this? I shouldn't be having this breakdown for another couple of months.

Ooh. Yeah, no, her manager and I comes over. And he walks in. I guess it looks like she's created. She's in the process of turning part of her foyer into an office, which is very funny to me. Like, he walks in and there's like the grand staircase and then to the left is this like desk set up. But it's really just like a shitty table you get. It's like a table rental you get when you have Thanksgiving, you know? So, we've never, ever been nice to Candace about her damn foyer.

The woman can't win. Like we've talked about her foyer ever since she moved through the mess. So, like she can't do anything that's gonna be okay with us and I don't know why we're so bothered by the foyer or the foyer Well, I just you know what? We will give we will give flowers where the flowers are due but for right now you can't put your office in the foyer

You're not gonna be a foyer. You're not getting foyer flowers. Okay. It's a foyer fail We are ret we will be ready for her foot We will be ready to praise her foyer when it is ready to be praised. But for right now, there is no room for it. And it was a nice office too. I'll give the office was very lovely. But you can't have it in the foyer. Yeah, and I was like, oh, yeah, I've seen this office on FaceTime.

Wow. Wow, so we're just going to put a desk by the front door, huh? Okay, great. Commissures. Here comes one right now. So he tells her it's ghetto and she's like, yes, well, Chris calls it a barbecue table and church chair. So just have a seat, have a seat.

So they start talking about her career, basically. He's like, so, you know, we're recording new music to ultimately like you're gonna get out of this contract with Monarch, right? And we're looking for a major label now. And she's like, well that was a great first start. But now it's time for Ferdinand Atlantic. I don't even know what record. What record do I cover in Airlines. Delta Airlines Records. JetBlue here I come. Yeah, I mean, I feel like every season now,

she's getting out of a record contract. So, he's like, well, you know, we've got to get the tour going, the second leg, and you know, we've got some new venues, you either say Lewis, there's Pittsburgh, there's New York. I'm like, how do you not leave with New York, I'm sorry. But she's also gonna be going to Chicago in Atlanta and he starts talking about like, openers for the Chicago in Atlanta shows

and he's like, you know, we have to think about someone for Chicago and I was thinking like, what about having Drew, Drew Sadoras as a special guest, Candace just has this minor face like. She's like, I guess, uh, he's like, you know, um, is that, she's, is that your only option?

And he's like, well, I mean, we did Chicago before I could bring the same girl from before back then, but she goes, yeah, we should, do you remember when we were in Chicago at the Costco, and there was a lady giving out chicken samples. I liked her voice better than Drew. Is she available by any chance? Not the Drew's bad. Not the Drew's bad. Drew's wonderful.

Drew's wonderful. But maybe the person who was handing out hot dogs at the famous hot dog place in Chicago, she was good. She was good. I have heard instead. I mean, it's like, so you're gonna give me some hesitation? She's a hesitation, I'm suggesting the lady who serves the hot dog at the Costco for 10 cents.

Is that hesitation? It's called the list. You know the lady who announced the next stop on the L train, is she available? The guy in New York City that comes over the recording to tell you you're inside of a cap I think that's build a blosio Hey

Remember when we're at Pete Seria Uno and there was a lady sitting the next table and she backed up her chair And it hit me and I was like oh my god, and she goes I'm so sorry her How about her there was someone amazing one time when Chris didn't pay his cricket bill and I was calling him And it does not do do do the number you have reached that is a talent. Can we get that person? Hey, remember that nutty lady who climbed to the top of the bean in Chicago and then slid down Yeah, she was great. How about we just get her? so She's like, you know, listen,

I'm just saying I sold out Chicago. So I don't really meet her. And he's like, okay, wow, really, really going for Drew's throat there. Listen, this is punching down, okay? I don't think it's nice to be nice to Drew. Drew is in me here. I think this is Andrew I'm punching down.

Candace was actually for Candace. She was being exceptionally diplomatic. Candace wanted to go off. There's something that happened. She wanted to go off on Drew and she just smiled, gritted her teeth and just gave out a mist of shade, like a little misty droplet, a little drizzle of shade, but she kept it together, so I think that she wanted

to punch down, but she just merely, she sort of like flicked down, she flicked her fingers down, and that's it. She flicked down. Okay, well, you know, Drew's going, you know, Drew, it'd be nice to Drew, okay? Just saying yes. Drew sounds great, and then off camera be like, no, fuck Drew, what are you fucking kidding, bringing that up on camera?

Are you serious? Nope. She goes, no, because Candice can't say, yeah, I drew it be great, because then Drew would be like, I don't know, she said she was gonna have me, and then I never heard anything back. So she knew she couldn't even fake commit to Drew on camera.

But I think it's probably annoying when your manager, like the only idea he has is another housewife. Like, that's it. You can't think of anything. Can't just went to the Grammys. I mean, I don't remember what she did there, exactly. But she was doing something like, she's made some progress.

Don't just be like, you know who has a single, the girl that Kim Zolciak dated for a minute. I know, Tracy. Can we maybe, like, I mean, she just did something with Trina. So, like, isn't there someone available? Isn't like someone from like 3LW around? I mean, I feel like there's gotta be someone for her.

So, she's like, I'm just tired, I'm tired. And I guess, so this is why you're being difficult about Chicago. She's like, my edge is hurt. My vagina hurts. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. She's like, please, please.

Why did you bring Juicidora into me? I was so proud of the fact that we finally painted our foyer office. I know, like I'm trying, dude, I'm trying to like present this. Look at me with the foyer in her front, or in an office at her front door. Like that's amazing, okay.

Like I've got a store front now. And also I'm talking about trying to get a new label so that I can be taken seriously in the industry. And the first thing you say is Drew Siddora. Come on, bro. Yeah, I would fire him. So now we got a Robin's home. And Robin's like doing, filling stuff into pouches

and the kitchen and wand comes in. And she's putting supplement, she's putting her vitamins. I mean, guys, in case you were worried, anybody who was like, why is Robyn back? We get to watch Robyn divide her fish pills up. So that being said, by the way, maybe vitamin C is available to open up for Candace. I think that would be a great collab,

you know, maybe a remix of the graduation song. I don't know. So Robbins like, well, I'm backing on my new supplements. So I make sure I take them. So I have a bunch. And I'm trying to fix all the things that my nutritionists have come up with, that I'm deficient with.

I'm like, I know you're trying to push some sort of vitamin deficiency storyline. I just already consents it. But like, I know you're trying to push some sort of like vitamin deficiency storyline. I just already consents it. But no, the storyline's gonna have to be about one. You can't try to divert us into vitamins. One thing the doctor said I'm deficient in his vitamin F, Fox to give, I don't care. So he's like, I'm gonna run some errands and say, well, I know you don't want to know

about women's business. Wow, Robin. Why are you coming back with even less energy than before? Robin, you were crawling before, Robin. Okay. You can't come back like this, Robin, dividing up fish pills and talking to it has to be either. Women's Business.

Hello, this is Robin Dixon with Women's Business News Update. I want to update you on the things the women have been talking about. So recently, you just sell and buy to me over to a house and I'm like, okay, great. So I get there and it turned out to be an intervention. This has been women's business update with Robin Dixon. I mean, basically, they're just like, I mean, okay, could have told you stuff, but then the laundromat picture came out and why would you even put yourself in the position that you would be photographed because I don't care.

I don't care. You can not get me to care. There's nothing you can say that I will care. I'm basically, like, I gave you the biggest bullshit story about that hotel room. I don't care. Leave. Bye.

Bye Robin, bye. Yeah, but she's making it about me. And now and how like that makes me look and she's like, I'm like, I don't care also. I also don't care one. Don't care. Don't even care that you don't care. Do not. I'm rubber, you're a glue, whatever you say.

Bounce is off me and six to you, but then I step in it so that I'm stuck to you too. So we both don't care one. You're a rubber and I'm glued so whatever you say bounces off you and it's all I don't care. Huh? Huh? You're a glue and I'm glue and whatever you say sticks to me. Just ends. It's the way.

Why are you so sticky? I don't care. I'm walking around with someone sperm all over me. I do not care. My sperm is someone else's sperm. Did I get't care. I'm walking around with someone sperm all over me I do not care My sperm is someone else's sperm did I get splashed by a cab going through a puddle of sperm? I don't care Milk milk lemonade milk lemonade round the corner. I don't care. It's made

So Robin is so now they shift over to his work. Okay, because he's for anybody who forgot, he's fired because someone reported serious sexual assault. What would you call a sexual bullying black male all this shit to one and one did nothing to cover up for the other coach on the team. So Robin's like, yeah, but you know, like you're keeping your eyes open for other work. No, he keeps his eyes closed.

That's the whole reason he got fired in the first place, okay? Is there a job that'll hire you for just keeping your eyes closed? Might I suggest the government? Yeah, so he's like, yeah, I'm trying, you know, there's, you know, so I've got a lot of time left and I'm not gonna rush the process, you know, I did, you know, I know we did everything at a high level

at my previous job, it's just unfortunate, you know, that there's a lawsuit and it's an unfortunate lawsuit, you know, and I don't know, he's like, but I love my guys. I love my guys, I love my guys. I love him hard. I love my guys. Maybe not the best season for a coach of that team to be screaming how much they love their guys. Also, more enthusiasm Juan has shown in this one moment for his guys than he's ever shown for Robin. True. And he's like, and they love me back. And that's unfortunate.

It's very unfortunate. But I do love my guys. It's all I do. And it'll be a blessing. And I'm really okay. And I know things are going to work out because I have everyone's best interest. I really do.

Remember when I gave a homeless person $50? And that homeless person happened to get a hotel room with it. And that $50 is on my capital hand card. Yeah, so. Good person. My my good person. That's why I don't care, because I donate all my cares to the less fortunate,

so that way when they come home, I don't care, because I don't have it anymore. So now we have Nekka and her husband and they're taking a tour of their new home and this where we meet her. And she says, I come as I am. And what I am, honey, is remarkable. 2084 baby, that's right.

I've moved to the suburbs. I've never, I love how excited she is to move to the suburbs. You know, she's like, she came from like Los Angeles or something and she's like, yeah, living in a McMansion in the suburbs now. Yeah, baby. She says, 20854. I think that's because that's the Potomac zip code

and she's so excited to actually be living in Potomac because no one else does on the show. There, it's called, they're called, they're always zip code, shaming each other. And I think she's like, I might be new, and I'm the only one with this zip code, legitimately. Thank you. Two, four, six, a one, baby.

So, like, two, one, wait five, four. Oh. She's like, I lived in Los Angeles, but I still love to pray to feed my family, and I was expelled. So they're just walking around and looking at the house, they're having like, he's like really cute, but you can definitely see who wears the pant. Like he's hot, but we can see who wears the pants, because she's just like, he's just saying like, oh, do we do this?

She's like, come on, come on, come on. She just like terraced that house and he's just dragging her husband through, which is great. He basically, she's calling the shots in this relationship. I do not need him in pants. Do not wear the pants. Do ever take them off.

I love you. I love you, sir. So cute. So she's telling us about herself. She's like, you know, I never knew generational wealth was a problem until I got delayed from my closing. The mortgage company found out that I had other properties and failed to list them to lake front properties

and Wisconsin, property in Florida, two properties in Maryland. We have a property in Georgia. We have several properties in Nigeria. It's like, okay, let's let's back up to this. The mortgage company found out I had other properties I had filled list. That's called fraud. It's called.

Yeah. It's got to go. I can't wait for looking forward to your lawsuit since season two. They're doing great. You're really on track. You've come in with shady real estate holdings. I'm so proud of you, Neckah. This is going to really work out well for you. That's a lot. I mean, that's a lot of real estate, damn. So they are talking about the twins,

they don't exist yet, but they want them, you know. So she tells us that I, her husband, is a medical doctor by day, a scrubs model by afternoon, and a nightclub owner by night. That, I mean, that is impressive. I mean, a nightclub owner by night. That is impressive. I mean, the nightclub owner by night thing, I don't trust that. I feel like generally speaking, almost every nightclub owner is shady, but he's also a doctor, a medical doctor,

which unshades him a little bit, but yeah, it's weird. It's weird, but I do like the idea of Scrubs model by afternoon, but he's hot, so I'm okay with it so far. Yeah, so she talks about how they're trying to have kids and so her whole day is spent taking vitamins and like timing her ovulations. And she starts the day taking vitamins and she downs them with a glass of champagne and she goes, I start my day off with bubbles and I end my day with bubbles. I'm like, okay, so you may be an alcoholic. I just say you know.

And alcoholic who engages in more in mortgage fraud. I'm in. Great. So far you're doing great. You're doing excellent. Don't tell Bethany Frankl. Oh my god, see what profit does. It forces you to drink champagne in the morning.

That's what it does. Really? Really reckoning. So I bring in the whole thing down. I bring it in down. It's a reckoning. It's a reckoning. So then we go over to Wendy.

Okay, so Wendy is meeting with her producer, Marsha, in some apartment that is supposed to be a set for her new talk show. And Wendy's like, oh, okay, this is like a vibe, right? Like, mmm, it gives me a heart of them when it's on. It's like, um, you see them. I'm just, feels no evil spirits have been here, right? I don't know, I don't know. And Marsha's like, uh-huh.

So then we find out Wendy is going to be starting her own talk show. Yes. Yes, uh-huh. So then we find out Wendy is gonna be starting her own talk show Yes, yes a talk show she's feeling the void of Of a Wendy talk show by making her own Wendy talk show and The other Wendy that's what they call it the other way the other one D I would actually watch a show called the other Wendy. I would watch a show called the other way. Yeah I would actually watch a show called The Other Wendy. I wouldn't watch it a show called The Other Wendy. Yeah. And she's in this, by the way, Harlem Renaissance meets a museum of like generic town home.

That's what it is. That's all it is. Yeah, so she wants us to talk show, which I actually think is the best of her ideas, because that's what she already does. So I'm like, okay, this is a good conversation. It's more like her personality other than, you know, her other things. I'm like, why, this is more like personality other than, you know, or other things. I'm like, why though, a restaurant, I make no sense, but she's already talking head. That's what she excels at, you know, do what you love. Yeah. Yeah. So I was like, okay, this is finally a good idea. And she's like, I'm going to give you a little politics,

but I can also be a little ratchet. And I'm a multi-hyphenate, you know, I'm a mom, I'm a wife, I'm a professor, I'm an author, I'm a first degree, I'm an entrepreneur, I'm a multi-hyphen, you know? I'm a mom, I'm a wife, I'm a professor, I'm an author, I'm a first degree, I'm an entrepreneur, I'm a second degree, I'm a talk show host, I'm a third degree, I'm a, I can be many things and there's a fourth degree in there too. What I'm trying to say, I'm a second wick. I'm a second wick.

I'm a third wick. Thank you. I'm a Tiong. I'm a Tiong. Sitting in. I'm a Dionwau. Wick. Sorry.

I'm sorry, Ron. You deserve better. You deserve better. You deserve better. This entire recap, you deserve better. Oh, man. Oh, I'm best already. There's no getting better.

So she's like, this talk show is gonna be different because we're gonna talk about serious issues, but also issues we talk about every day with our friends. Okay, so it's like every talk show. Real focus. Real focus pitch there. It's going to be about something serious, but also not serious. So then Marsha lets us know that she does not really know what's going on.

Okay, I don't know where they found Marsha. No offense. Marsha seems like a lovely person, okay? I love Marsha. But I wouldn't talk to Marsha about this stuff, because Marsha goes, okay, well here, this living room is going to be her interview space. And then over here is where we're going to do,

you know how we were talking about doing a call to action? It's like, wow, wow, Marsha, do you know what a call to action is? And that like sign up, like and subscribe, smash the like button. You got this house because you like the area that she's gonna say like and subscribe. I don't know that Martian knows what a call to action is.

Don't trust Martia. Run. Get Peter. Get Peter back. Wendy is like, you know, the ultimate goal for this talk show is that, you know, catch the eyes that is an attention of a major network. So I would love it if my show could be on Bravo.

Hello. Hello. E. Anyone in the Comcast? I'm already here. Anyone wanna do this? No. MSNBC. Anyone? I'm like, it's bad when you're HBO.

Just having gaming wrap it on your show. That's bad. That's bad. Chilla. Could I be on Chilla? To me? What on your We want to do it. My Jerry and cooking scene, we could do it in the kitchen. I guess if you shoot in an apartment You can do it wherever. Why are you looking at an apartment to shoot the television show? No I just I love also by the way like well you have to deal with zoning is it you're allowed to do that

But I just love I just love the big idea. It's like, so. See how there's a kitchen here? Because there's a kitchen, you know what we could do? We could cook in the kitchen. We're like, really going in with the concepts. So anyway, they're just like talking about it. And then Marsha's like, okay, so by the way,

we have to go over so much stuff. Like we haven't even talked about, you know, getting a PA. And when he's like, oh my god, yeah, she's like, I think I have a good PA for us. Marcia goes, okay, I have a good one too. And when he goes, yeah, what's a PA again? Yeah, this is not looking good. Cause she's like, yeah, you know, I've known Marcia since,

I was 19 years old, then she's done work in the producer realm, so I reached out to her. Her shoes had shows that go to Sundance. I think she'll be. The show's don't go to Sundance. That's what I was thinking. I was like, wow, they've really expanded Sundance. Could you Google her maybe before the scene? Just like simple internet search or being whatever you like

I'm not gonna I'm not gonna tell you what brand he is doc doc go She was a field producer on hard copy and hard copy went to Sundance like none of that makes sense so Yeah, so she's so the it feels I got the impression that She news marsha she wrote Martian for the scene and now Martian is like, what the fuck am I doing right now? This is embarrassing for me professionally.

And so Wendy is like, well, I can tell you this between pre-production costs, the price of renting out this place, Sundance, we're over budget. And Martian's like, there's not a lot. I mean, there's not a lot of budget. And she's like, like but I mean it can't be the same as Oprah Winfrey right so wait is that it's at a lawnmower wait so we're gonna sound proof no you're not gonna sound proof it it's like a corner unit half of it windows what are you gonna

do when she said when they when you heard the lawnmower going on the background I was like wait is she filming an hour studio? Did she, did she take over the crap in the studio? It's just the, is the crap in leaf blower that appears everywhere. So they're like, okay, what's the name for the show, by the way, because clearly you thought of that before we started doing this. And she's like, um, how about Zenwen?

Where's she's like, um, is that really what you wanted to be Zenwen? You want to start that, what, what, is it like, um, is that really what you wanted to be Zen when? You wanna start that, what, what, give it another shot there? How about Wendy's wisdom? She's like, ah, no, no, no, it's not gonna work. Wine with Wendy?

And then each episode I have a glass of wine, I don't want it to be news, you know, I want it to be conversational. Do you know what people do when they, when they converse, they have wine? Wine. Wine with Wendy. Marcia's like, you're hurting my cheeks. And she got like glad you're excited.

Oh my God, Wendy. Marcia was the hell out of there. Marcia's like called action. Mooper. Discordor. Sealing fan. Oh, I thought I'd talk about potential names for the show. Called Action.

So now we go up to Karen. Karen goes to a Pilates studio and she Ashley and Mia show up and everything. And Karen gives another one of her acquaintance friend handshakes. And she's very good to see you again, Mia. Welcome to this business meeting here at Pilates. Please have a seat here on this reformer,

which is a good word that we like to use for offense. Doesn't make sense, I'm sorry, it doesn't make sense. I would like to welcome you to Allie's Pilates studio. Now Allie's a good Pilates instructor because we have the exact same eyebrows. All right, which came first? My eyebrows are Allie, I don't even know. But here they are, on another person, Allie.

So we find out, Ashy talks about her boobs, Ashy got a new boob job, and her boobs are called Demi and Diamonds. So named after Demi Moore, and I guess one of Lisa Vanderpump's horses. And then, yeah, so she's got boobs and she's excited about them. So then Karen, Ashley and Mia are all there and they lie down and they're putting their feet in these str- this is Pilates, right?

That they're doing? This is Pilates. It seems like so much work having all those machines. What happened to good old fashioned yoga? I don't know. The Pilates really requires a lot of things. Have you ever done Pilates? I've never done Pilates.

I am very Pilates curious and I was hoping to take my first Pilates class. But you may have heard I had an appendectomy and now I can't do stuff with my core. So my Pilates dreams have been put on hold and I'm really bummed. You're your pos-d-lotties. I'm pos-lotties. I'm sad-lotties right now. I'm pretty-lotties right now. So they all start doing their little exercise things

and Karen's like, all right everybody, now I need to work out as I'm approaching triple 20. That's this year's triple 20. That's what we're doing. There's no longer the year of five, nine. Now it is triple 20 and trademark. And I say that as a woman who is a fence. I'm sorry.

I'm gonna say it every other line. I know it's annoying, but I can't. I'm a triple fence. But triple fence. I've got I'm three posts triple bus triple fence. Say anyway, I as I am approaching the triple triple 20, I do have to say that my mom had a triple bypass, and on top of that, turns out that Ray is a big fan of Triple H,

Thressler. So a lot of triples happen here, there's a triple triple, in fact, think about it. And me is like, oh, I know, it's really hard. You know, being a triple A, you know, myself, drinking only wine now. That is two A's, that is A and A. And you're not it because you're still drinking wine and it's not even anonymous. So you're still out of the closet drinking wine. Okay. That makespping. Ronnie was sipping while I made a terrible pun. So I can't answer. Well anyway terrible terrible news to tell you all about. Since I'm approaching

the triple 20 I went for for triple test and all the tests had triple letters in them MRI EKG calcium EW okay that one doesn't matter that one has more than three letters I thought it was funny she's listening all these serious things calcium JFK RFK PTA I did the ball calcium I'm calcium and a stress test So turns out hold on hold on I'm choking up on drooping up. Mm-hmm hold on I've got an invisible bee on the tip of my nose. Mm-hmm I'm gonna get it off without touching my nose with my hat I'm gonna get an awful lot touching my nose with my hat. So it jokes me up just to say this, but turns out I have 5% to calcium in my cardioid arteries

and that's a number, it's fine, it's a number that can't hurt, it will be 5% will not hurt me because I'm a triple. 20 fins. Wait a minute, so that's, it's a number that counter, it will, it will, 5% will not hurt me, because I'm a triple. 20 fence. Wait a minute, so that's why we're here because you have a blockage, check? It's not a blockage, it is a deposit. A 5% deposit. In my arteries, of calcium. Like God, I went for the calcium test. That just goes to show you, don't only let your test be three letters long. You got a mint deposit, it's to have deposits. That just goes to show you don't only let your test be three letters long

You got a meek deposits to have deposits Well, I have a deposit of calcium and that's why I'm here on this planet is with harbor So that way this fence does not blow over his storm So just like um, wow, I don't even know what to equate this to. Does this mean you need to clean out your ears? So I wasn't really sure about that. That didn't do. So then, then's favorite part is working out to graphics appear like it's an 80's aerobics video.

And yeah, they really dedicate themselves to this for a while. And then they start yapping. You know, that's what we're here for. So just else like, so me went to the bathroom, but are you all okay? Are you good suddenly? It's like, well, where are you, show hands? Where are you, show hands?

I shook hands with a person who probably doesn't to serve it, and me, show hands with a woman who just learned that she's got 95% chance to survive calcium. No, no. It's a big moment for her. Miasha Kans will someone who has as much calcium as, oh, I was going to say milk, too, super, but that doesn't make sense.

Never mind. I take it all back. I'm basically a kind bar. I've discovered it. I was just going to, I was going to say 2% milk, but I was like, oh take it all back. I'm basically a kind bar. I've discovered. I was gonna say 2% milk, but I was like, oh, that's fat, that has not calcium. Let me just tell myself right there. Don't ever let's not do this.

He's not good. I spent too much time on that. So she's like, you know, me and me were so close before, so why not? And she's like, so we had a long, long talk about it. And I'm not phony, I said off let's start off We'll earn our hug and you think um are we talking about the handshake on the park because my handchake always ridiculous by the way Well, I mean she really does not like the hand check

I'll give it that but like let's give it real when we walk through the park like we made progress We made a lot of progress. I'm gonna talk about real stuff. That affected our relationship last year, sort of like, I don't know, calcium. In my courtyard arteries this year, how would it affect me? So let's not bring calcium rumors anymore. Let's just bring facts. So then, Jiselle tells them that she and the girls met with Robin to confront her about Juan and the kindest place ever. And this leads me to my question, are you going to apologize to Robin Karen?

And Karen's like, for what? No. She's like, just recently you said there was a woman in Georgetown with blonde hair. Do we not remember this? And then we see that sketch, which we're gonna see in every episode to read that. And I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. And Rob's like, oh well, you know, I mean, sorry, Karen said, it was a rumor. I mean, you're right, it was a rumor. And you know, if I go by that, you know,

I can get Rob and Grace. Okay, just like I see you getting excited because I use the word Grace, but I don't mean your daughter. I can give a Grace. Although it would be kind of funny if I gave her your daughter, but you know, because I did not have a picture. I did not have the photo evidence

or give a Grace for giving, for speaking a rumor that's actually fact but it's you know you can say it's rumour that's fine. I'm not an angel and I'm sure she would adored an apology but show what I, show what I really. Yes, you hit the trifecta. Well I'm really into triples these days so I really had to once I started saying grace I had to go through the whole thing. That reminds me of Trump calling what a journey. Okay, we've already talked about that, but I do believe there is some truth to Robin, Robin touchman for landering. And just like it was a rumor.

It's like, I don't know about international, I know about domestic, but. But. This is why I love Karen. She does this whole thing about like we should no longer indulge rumors from now on if we're gonna talk about something only Talk about something that's factual. It's like no, I mean I mean one is clearly banging everyone north and border So she's like okay, okay, so we owe each other an apology so maybe you should facilitate that and

She's like okay now my question update for you Ashley No, now last I talk to you your divorce. I think we're supposed to be fine. What's going on with that actually? What's happening with us? She goes I am not divorce You saying you're not divorced yet. That's like me saying I'm at six percent calcium outrageous. And she's like, well technically I'm married, but I live very much apart from him. And my name is the only name I'll be dead of the home, which didn't we learn last year that we're putting it in an LLC or something. That was the plan last year, but I think now she's saying that I don't know. Nothing made sense. I'm the only name on the deed. Oh, bodidu. Bodidu. I know bodidu. It's good

for the mind. He knows everything about all the use. You know, everything better for me. He has like, so why is Michael suing Candace? What's going on with that? She's like, I don't know. It's public record building. I don't know anything about it. I'm a theater owner. And Karen's like, um, and how do you feel about Candace? And she's like, I don't even know who the hell we're talking about right now.

And so Ashley and Jizal still hate Candace. Yeah, they don't, they don't like her at all. And so Karen's like, well, but Ashley, you and Candace are hot and cold all the time. And so Ashley then tells us this story of like, well, Candace has said something at the reunion about something I had done, or is I trying to do you? And I texted a proof that like that wasn't true.

And this is what she said. You have shown yourself to be someone who will conspire with your castmates in line to embellish. About a who knows? Yeah, embell bullish about every dangerous accusation for entertainment purposes. And I never did that. Yeah, I didn't do it just for entertainment purposes. Actually, we'll never do that. Yeah, I think fine. Who are you talking about? So which of course is so campus, but also this

is such a campus text. You have shown yourself to be someone who will conspire with your castmates to lie and belish. Very dangerous accusations for entertainment purposes. It's just so Candace written. Exactly. So then me, so basically, you know, as she says that, Candace is not invited to the parties. Now this is where we get the flashback

to a few days ago when Karen and Candace were having dinner and Karen's like, so you're not gonna be with us this weekend, Candace. And Candace is like, what is happening? And Karen says there's like a housewarming like, oh, you didn't get an invite. And Candace's like, no, I don't think I did. I don't think I did.

I'm so okay, because I'm going to Los Angeles. Yes. So let's see. So now they start talking about dating 17 years younger, just hell, just hell's up. Just hell's fake storyline is next. I'm welcome with your fake storyline. Let's move to Ashley's fake storyline

to just hell's fake storyline. So me is like, oh my god, lady, age differences, but this kind of thing are in you, so I feel like he's a little boy, because you know, I mean, I like him older. I mean, I wouldn't even know it to do with some of that age. Oh, I do know what to do. And then I said, clearly, so Karen says, well, I always aspire to be these girls. I mean, you know, I had to pick a man with a 17-age difference,

but she went backwards, which is what I plan to do to calcium, you're going back all to. Okay, let's go over to... Actually, you see sight in this city, how swarming. Yeah, so she's just talking about how she's really happy that Uncle Lump has shown up because Uncle Lump is there. We all love Uncle Lump. I would love to bet Uncle Lump is that he just

always, he always has a look on his face like my fucking knees. He's always up to something, my fucking knees. And she's lied to Uncle Lump because he's asking her, so wait, you went to, you went on vacation and she's, yeah, the Bahamas. He's like, okay. She is, yeah, because like, you know, I subscribe to like, okay. She's, yeah, because like, you know, I subscribe to like, well, do family things together. You know, even though you're going through a divorce, I mean, you know, if we can get along for the kid, oh, that's Jizelle who's saying all this stuff.

So never mind. I subscribe too, like we'll do family things. I mean, listen, if you wanna go on vacation with me, we're still parents of these children. Would you like to buy them a nice tea restaurant? For steaks. A razonaza. A razonaza.

Yes, I subscribe to you giving my children a steak restaurant, which you can now order a steak to the temperature, a door, and the waiter will have some grace, and you'll tip them like an angel. So got it done. So where are we? What's happening here? Literally nothing. And then we find out that Ashley lied and did not tell lump that Michael was coming. So lump's like, oh wait, Michael was there, she goes, well, when I face time to you, I didn't think I told you he was there. And I'm surprised that Michael,

I thought he bombed this one too, where she was face timing and Michael just came by, oh, whole lump. This is Michael just hiding in a towel to jump out of anybody, but I was remembering. But Michael hates Uncle Lump, because Uncle Lump always knew who Michael was.

Like, Michael Lump always had Michael's number, you know. So then Lump is basically asking, like, so are you gonna, like, what's going on? Are you getting out of force? What's happening? I only came to this stupid party so I could get the gossip to bring back to the rest of the family. And Ashley is, you know, Ashley is saying how she just,

and she really admires Uncle Lump because he's been, you know, with the same woman for 30 years. So it makes it hard for him to understand my perspective. I was like, I don't think anyone has been able to understand your perspective of hanging around Michael Darby. Like that is something that has still confounded humanity.

Yeah. So then she, let's see, they're just like making small talk and stuff like that and then Karen shows up and she's greeting everybody and They're talking about how she is not gonna drink because she's driving and they're like well you can hire somebody now to come pick up your car and take you home Which I'm not my mom see hmm not the mom see Not the mom see which I had definitely bought. And it's not rented for the show. So then more people are showing up,

and then Mia, once again gets the handshake, et cetera. And Cherisse shows up, and then there are like, Cherisse is basically the same outfit as Karen, but like in a different color. So that drives Karen mad because Karen hates sherees, et cetera. And then there's like a house tour, they go walking around and actually showing everything and keeps talking about how it's like coastal chic and seaside chic and whatever, et cetera. Um, let's see, Wendy showing up was the best part of this because they're all standing

kind of in a semi circle when Wendy comes in and Wendy just ignores half of them. You know, she gets like a quick hug to Sharice and then just cringes away from me. Yeah, that was great. And actually just all steps to the side. Just like whoa. Whoa. Just like okay, yeah.

Wendy is like, oh baby, the time for civility is long gone. I've greeted those who I want to greet and the others. Hmm. So they talk about her house a little bit and blah, blah, blah. Robin comes and she's like, whoa, I'm not hiding from anything. I'm not running from conversations that these ladies want to have. If you've got something to say, I don't say it. Ding! Hold on, that something's in the toaster.

Oh my glad I'm sure glad I toasted some. I don't care! So, so then Neckash shows up and so Ashley introduces Neckah to everyone and then Wendy and Neckah are like sort of joking about like no the way you really should be saying it's like everyone, and then Wendy and Nekka are sort of joking about, no, the way you really should be saying it's like, Nekka, and that's like a little, it's like all nice and it's all friendly,

and Wendy is just basically telling Ashley that she's, well, oh, actually, when you actually go to the living room, because it's like, clearly the producer said, hey, Ashley, take Wendy to the living room and be messy, so we can do something. I'm very much, this is the house said, hey, Ashley, take Wendy to the living room and again be messy. So we can do something about pretty much. Is the housewife be garr- loop, blop, blop, blop, blop, blop, blop, blop, blop. This is the housewives start to the season

where they pretend that they're gonna start new, right? So Ashley can't even fake it, which is so fucking funny. Like Wendy's like, okay, let's have a talk. And Ashley's like, well, you know, when Chris was talking to Deborah, I guess Eddie, I came over and the consensus seemed to be the he was being flirtatious.

You know, we see that whole flashback. Oh, yeah, I forgot that, yeah. So I forgot that Deborah showed up. We didn't mention that Deborah showed up. All right, Deborah showed up, right? Because she's still friends with Ashley. And so Wendy's like, well, you know, I want to be like, Ashley, that's my girl,

but I can't trust that you're not going to stab me in the back, right? And Ashley's like, I respect that. I respect that. So maybe the reason you don't see me as trustworthy is because we just don't have that much time together. Yeah, also because you told America that her husband was trying to fuck other people on camera when we know that it's damn Why Ashley? Yeah, and also you guys live like two hours apart. Let's not forget that too And when he's like well, no, I invited you to the camera to put a party and say I know and that's fair That's fair. I didn't show up so like I get it. I get why I'm not getting invitations, but like You know, I understand the sword and like there's like many layers to you. And I still want to get

to know you since like I worry that like it makes you feel really guarded about me and like maybe our group. And so it sounds like they're like having this like conversation where they just want to like mend and like spend more time with each other and get to know each other more and like learn more about each other. So it's like very nice. And when he's like, yeah, and like, I want you to like tell me like, you know, listen, we're gonna just like talk directly to each other, you know, if you hear things, talk directly and when he says, I want you to tell me everything. So as she was like, okay, well, since you want to know everything. And then she goes into this thing this mess this messiest Ashley mess. Yeah, so

She is saying that she was talking to Nekka and she was explaining who Wendy is and she's like, yeah You know like I was saying you're esteemed how professional you are and I told her that you were a doctor And she was like a medical doctor and I was like and then we see this conversation and medical doctor and I was like, uh, and then we see this conversation and Ashley says, Wendy, what doctor, Wendy, Wendy and I are wonderful. And Neckah says, Dr. Wendy, oh, is she a medical doctor? No, she's a PhD. She goes, oh, okay, so Dr. Philosophy.

It's the most innocent thing ever. Totally innocent, a totally innocent comment. And then Ashley's like, um, so Wendy, like the way I heard it, like, you know, was like very much like oh I didn't know she's a PhD what it was not like that at all and she goes well I do have a doctorate in philosophy it's just I respect that I respect that you know in that way like well too bad not everybody respects it, you know, Wendy is like, well, only less than 1% of the people in the world has it. And she's, let me tell you something, I will talk from a PhD. And if it doesn't make her happy, that's on her,

but she is still going to address me as Dr. Wendy. All right. So then, let's see. So outside, Mecca is talking about how she is a practicing lawyer and she works for Fintech. It's like some Fintech company. So then back to Ashley. Ashley's like, yeah. And then there's like some article about you, about you, like being like a cepho. And I was like, oh, it's the silly thing. So something had happened where there was some rumor about your family being shunned

or something. Is that like common? So then it goes back to luncheon and like clearly like like Ashes asked Neckah about this and Neckah is like, oh yeah, well you know it's kind of like a group of people who were like offered up this like no native or local king thing and you know like those people like the families that gave up their children are considered Assefah and she's just basically is like, oh yes, there's this thing called Oso, and Oso basically, she basically says, yeah, they're like pariahs, and people don't like, you know, it's like, this is a thing that's been abolished a long time ago, but some people still like pay attention to it.

And she's like very, she's like very just like factual, like, oh yeah, I'll explain to you the situation that you are asking me about, since you don't seem to know about it, you know. And the situation is something like they, you sacrifice your children or something. I mean, it's like, it's hardcore, right? So then Ashley's like, yeah, so basically she was like, oh, terrible. And I was like, what? And then the producer tells Ashley, like Ashley, the way he told Wendy makes it seem like Neca was talking trash about her.

It's just, um, but that's how I remembered it. I shouldn't have drank. Me as alcohol story line really makes me have a loose tongue. Yeah, Ashley tells this story as if Neca was the one who kind of like instigated this conversation like I heard that Wendy is. Oh, soo, da da da da da da da da da da so then, so then Wendy is like, uh, no that's like something from the ancient guides and I drew it and my family is not that and it's basically, it's people who are considered outcasts so the fact that you remember my siphoncy, remember when I had a siphoncy and remember how people came to my siphoncy

yeah they wouldn't do that if I was osu so like, you know, like yeah yeah, it's forbidden, but like, that's not me. Yeah. And so now Wendy is not liking the new girl because Ashley is a pro. It's so shady. You know what I mean? She gets like, she throws the new girl right into like,

into the mess. Like it's so, it is so rude, but probably a good thing because it means that like, Neck-up will be at least, hopefully like in the midst of some stupid storyline that Ashley instigated, but at least like Neck-up will at least get her chance to be on camera, you know? Yeah. So that was the end of Potomac, pretty good.

I think this will heat up pretty quickly this season. Yeah, yeah, it was still, even though I had my issues with the on-screen stuff. It still was like a very funny episode. So I mean, this cast, you can't really go wrong. But anyway, thank you everyone for listening. Don't forget crappy hour is tonight. So, Biller likes his weiner. Thanks for watching, everybody.
