Starting point is 00:01:31 How's it going? So good. How are you doing today, buddy? I'm great. Back in my childhood bedroom, made a quick whirlwind trip to New York to honor my mom on her retirement. She had a retirement party, but now I'm here in my childhood bedroom and conveniently, I don't know why my dad did this,
Starting point is 00:01:50 but he pulled out all some Knicks memorabilia that I had. And so in honor of Charles Oakley, the Oak, look, here's a Knicks shirt I used to have. See, can you see it on camera? This is a Crap It's On Demand exclusive is me holding up a Knicks shirt. Just to prove that I used to really love the Knicks. I mean, I still love the Knicks, but I used to be really into the Knicks when I was a
Starting point is 00:02:08 kid. Well, if you feel better, I believed you. Thank you. I'm like the internet that was like Ben's a fucking liar. Ben never liked the Knicks. He never liked Charles Oakley. He never did. He liked arts and crafts.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Yeah. Well, everybody, welcome to Real Housewives of Atlanta season finale date. Don't worry. There's a three episode reunion coming up. Is it really three episodes? They don't have three episodes of content. They announced on the end.
Starting point is 00:02:38 That's crazy. At this three part reunion. What bullshit are you gonna try and fill my life with on these last three episodes? You're testing me, show. You're testing me. Okay. Two episodes, fair, but three, I mean, look, and I like the season, but you're missing, you're, you're, you don't even have Britt Eady there. Thankfully, I'd like to add, I'm okay with not having Britt Eady there, but that's also some content. Like what do you guys, how do you get three episodes out of this thing?
Starting point is 00:03:02 Yeah. Um, but that's what they're gonna do. Meanwhile, go catch our Love Island recaps over on Pothwiel, we just did a nice long hour long one, I think. We're doing those Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Next week will be a little different. We're still gonna do a couple of days, but it will be later in the week due to the holiday, okay? Yeah, take a few days off, okay?
Starting point is 00:03:22 Yeah, it's a holiday. It's a holy day. It's a holiday, Independence Day, okay? Yeah. Yeah, so that's a few days off, okay? You know what? It's a holiday. It's a holy day. Holiday, Independence Day, okay? Yeah. Yeah, so that's for everything coming up. Thanks for everybody's support on Patreon. We love doing those recaps. Also this week, we are adding in McBee Dynasty
Starting point is 00:03:36 to the lineup, at least for a week, to see how that goes. What a trashy fucking show that is. I loved it. Yeah. That show was garbage. Yes. It is garbage.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah, but it comes out, I thought it premiered last night, but it premieres tonight, but we both have watched it, and we both will probably have a lot of things to say. Look, as long as we can, if we find the way into the comedy, then that's all that matters to me.
Starting point is 00:04:02 It could be a big pile of poop as much as it wants to be, but as long as it's funny for us to do, that's all that matters to me. It could be a big pile of poop as much as it wants to be, but as long as it's funny for us to do, that's all I care. Oh yeah, oh I mean garbage in a good way. I watched the whole first season leading up to this, and I figure if I can watch 10 hours of Love Island a week, I can watch 10 hours of McBee Dynasty for a week. And it is completely- Of hate farm. Of what?
Starting point is 00:04:24 Instead of Love Island, hate farm. Yeah. Because they hate hate farm. Well, what is the love Island hate farm? Yeah, they hate each other. I loved it. I mean, it's just it's garbage. And it's my favorite kind of garbage. And the women on it are so fucking funny. They've got Galina, the Russian money launderer. It's like going eight is going absolutely fucking us.
Starting point is 00:04:43 It's so good. So watch it if you haven't. We'll be back, we'll be here for at least one recap this week and then also Real Housewives of Orange County returns in like 10 days. Next week. 11 days. Yeah, next week.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Something crazy. Next Thursday. It's crazy. I heard that it's, I heard it's a crazy one. I heard it's a crazy, crazy season. Looking forward to it. And also by the way, I just want to say something. I want, this is a public service announcement. Everyone this week, you have one job and one job only, and that's to watch Real
Starting point is 00:05:10 Housewives of Miami. Cause I don't like hearing stories that its ratings are low. I don't like hearing that because it is one of the best housewives on, on, well, it is the best housewives. That's currently airing for sure. And it is one of the best that's in the quiver. So everyone, if you don't watch Miami, do yourself a favor. I'm not asking, like, you're not doing the show a favor. You're doing yourself a favor by watching Miami because it is so good. And you should watch. Yeah, stop hurting yourself by sitting out.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Don't hurt yourself. Okay, get in there. Yeah, don't sit out. Get in there, get in the game. Now, do they have people throwing themselves their own Beyonce concert with, know, they're married bunny I don't know. No, probably not but it's still worth it 100% okay. So let's get back to this one real housewives of Atlanta season 16 episode 17 game over
Starting point is 00:06:01 So we're gonna type a whole bunch of loose ends. So pretty much the first half of this episode is like lots of little vignettes of what's going on in people's lives. So we start off with Portia and Lauren who are, their cousin, Londy just died last week on the show. And so they're obviously very emotional. So we're seeing them, they're sort of gathering, going to be gathering people to remember her, etc. So they go to Phaedra, you know, because that's where you go. And as Phaedra says, she's like, well, Portia and her family have asked me to assist with the home going for Lundy, because everyone knows I'm definitely the chairman of the Usher Board for Heaven. I love Phaedra.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I love that Phaedra just takes such pleasure in it. She's like, I'm so sad that Londi's not living, but I'm so glad that she's passed. Let's talk turkey. What kind of casket would you like? 20, 30, 40,000? Come on, it's for Londi. Yeah. So they are all sort of talking and remembering
Starting point is 00:07:07 Lundy and everything. It turns out that like Lundy, she passed away while she was on the phone with Lauren, which is that's, I feel bad for Lauren. That's gotta be a lot that she carries with her about that. You know, that's just so traumatic, but they're just remembering Lundy and it's like sad. But it's nice. So they're gonna remembering Lundy and it's like sad. But it's nice.
Starting point is 00:07:25 So they're going to have a memorial and stuff. And then when Portia's like, I thought this was going to be my year. I guess it wasn't, you know, because she got divorced and then all this stuff had happened and then Lundy happened. But now they're talking about a mango dish. So that's good. So then we go over. Just goes to show life goes on. Oh, the next scene though.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Dr. Wendie It's very portrait like, I can't believe this wasn't my year. And this happened, this happened. And Londi, by the way, what's this mango dish? I love this. Pete Slauson So now we go to Angela and she meets up with her therapist, Dr. Wendy. And I have to say, it's about time we finally saw a real therapist on one of these shows. Because we see all these people who are so excited to be on TV. They're very slick. They're very TV ready with their catchphrases and everything.
Starting point is 00:08:13 They have their hair blown out. Dr. Wendy, I was like, this is a therapist. She has all these like trinkets all throughout. She has like dream catchers in her office, long gray hair, this very like empathetic face, you know? You know I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm. That's her face. She's like, one eye is kind of closed and the other is open. She's like, what the fuck? That's her face. She's like, what the fuck are you saying to me right now,
Starting point is 00:08:50 Angela? All right, did you want that? She's got an honest face. Cause I feel like in therapy, therapists are supposed to maintain like a blank face. Like I'm not judging you. I'm not reacting. I've heard it all, you know, but not hers.
Starting point is 00:09:04 She's like, what the hell? Come on, Angela. And I like that, but that look of confusion on the therapist's face. Yeah, I feel like she was like an elderly gene, triple horn. So I appreciate that as well. And I think that I also just think it's funny because like, she's just this like this hippie lady. And I just think it's so funny that like, she sees Charles Oakley and that she's been seeing Charles Oakley for years. Like you would think this would be the sort of lady that Charles Oakley would be like, I'm not talking to this crazy lady,
Starting point is 00:09:35 but like, no, she's been seeing Charles and Angela for like eight years now or something like that. Yeah, so it's not some fake relationship, which I like. So Angela's like, you know, we go to Wendy for all eight years now or something like that. Yeah, so it's not some fake relationship, which I like. So Angela's like, you know, we go to Wendy for all these years because I need advice on how to deal with my husband and all that comes with him. Cause you know, he's handsome, he's famous, he has money, he's successful.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Any one of those things would attract women. And I just love that her list doesn't include kind, treats me well. You know, he's like the perfect husband who wouldn't be jealous. She's just like, he's rich and famous. Okay. And so I need to learn how to deal with that. So Dr. Wendy's like, so tell me what's happening beyond bongo lessons. That's me. Actually, you may notice there's a bongo in the background. Okay. I'm just taking learning some beats.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Tell me Angela, what's going on? Well, I mean, you know, I have all my money in these houses and you know, I'm about to ditch all of them. Okay. You're gonna ditch them emotionally or physically? She's like, physically. Yeah, financially all of them. I can't, I can't really, I can't have any of them. So she's like, wow, wow, that's too much. Would you like to, would you like to play the bongo that might help you? No, thanks. It's just, just don that's too much. Would you like to play the bongo? That might help you. No, thanks, it's just to overstress these houses. Caught your dream, caught your dream. All right, let me look at your, God damn it, your dream's depressing.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Well, I'm not gonna go to sleep anytime soon. All right, let's work on this real estate, real estate. So what are we gonna do with this? And she's like, I'm fucked, I'm taking money from Charles and he's over it. And she's like, and I trust Charles and it took me a long time to trust Charles, you know?
Starting point is 00:11:07 And she goes, well, yeah, because you shouldn't trust Charles. She says, well, I know he deserved it. But you know, now I've talked myself into trusting Charles again, really for no reason. And I should have listened when he told me it was a bad idea. And she's like, you know, the other day, Charles and I went, we went to a cooking event and while Charles was cooking, a gentleman walked up to me and said, I want to tell you something about your husband.
Starting point is 00:11:33 And then he said, this is also my Instagram account and here's my Twitter account. And then he started doing a dance for the cameras and Funtel, the producer said, okay, you're doing too much. We didn't pay for all this stuff. So then he says, hey, here's a toast to Angela, whose husband's cheating on her. And afterwards I was like, I told Charles what happened
Starting point is 00:11:51 and he's like, oh, whatever they're saying is a lie. Someone put him there. Okay, you know how much I love you, right? That's never gonna change. But right now that you're doing this scene, all I see is Austin from Love Island in therapy. Sorry. I like my, my Angela voice is Austin from Love Island in therapy. Yeah, sorry. I like, my Angela voice is in a weird place today.
Starting point is 00:12:09 You're doing Austin from, you're like, you know what, it's been really difficult. We were just trying to make waffles. Just trying to make waffles at Williams and Oma. And, I'm going to walk home. Oh my God. and Williams and Omar and I want it all. Oh my God. So, so basically Charles was like, okay,
Starting point is 00:12:35 oh, I'm not even gonna talk about this. You trust me, right? And so Wendy, I think Wendy handles this one pretty good. She goes, wow, so what's your theory? Because basically Charles has cheated multiple times from what we're getting from this therapy, right? Is that Angela didn't trust Charles for a reason because Charles was always cheating on her.
Starting point is 00:12:55 And so now she's finally talked herself into trusting Charles again, but now someone's making public accusations of cheating and Dr. Wendy's just like, okay, dumb, dumb. What's your theory? Why is this guy randomly coming up? And she like, okay, dumb dumb, what's your theory? Why is this guy randomly coming up? And she says, well, my theory is that Charles and I have been through a lot. That's not a theory. Okay, first of all. So she goes, but I trust him
Starting point is 00:13:15 now. And so she's, you know, she, she doesn't want anyone to think that Charles is an easy target. So she's going to stand up for him. Yeah. And so Dr. Wendy's like, I mean, you know, he said he wakes up at night, haven't been targeted. I mean, I'm going to get, he says, I'm going to get attacked, right? I'm going to get attacked. And she's like, well, Wendy, no, I'm doing awesome voice. I can't get out of it. Wendy, no, Wendy, I don't want to go there. And she's like, I know, I know this is a confused place for you, honey. I know that, but you know, just just speak it to the bongo. It's like, well, after Kelly's event, Charles and I, we were both confused as to why someone would approach me and lose all the properties.
Starting point is 00:13:58 And I'm clinging on to my family and they've been my support. And why would someone, who would send someone to hurt me and potentially destroy my marriage? So, she's like, well, you have to address it, right? And she goes, but I've just got so much going on with real estate. She goes, yeah, but you have to address this. Like therapy isn't for real estate, okay? It's for your relationship. So she says that she's tired of her relationship being a target.
Starting point is 00:14:24 And she's like, okay, but you also need to do it because you want to make a statement about you, you know, so what's the statement you want to make? And she goes, my statement is leave me the fuck alone. So what will her statement be? I don't know, but I hope we can have a gala to deliver it. Yes. Speaking of gala events, let's go see a musical gala as in Shamiah throwing a concert for herself. The most exciting thing you could ever imagine. Yeah. So she says she's doing a showcase. I mean, I don't know. I've been to a lot of showcases living in Los Angeles and they're usually like some little black box theater.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And you know, you get up there and you play a few songs and then you serve some two buck Chuck from the Trader Joe's. I've never seen anything like this. This was, this was a lot. I mean, basically to me, this was showcasing that you married an extremely rich person who's giving you money to do whatever the fuck you want.
Starting point is 00:15:19 And I think in this kind of situation, that doesn't matter. Like you wanna, you wanna show that you're talented. You know what I mean? Get up there and sing a song, Shamia. You don't need 20 fucking outfits and $20 million to do it. It makes it look worse. It's just like, I feel like she's trying to do like the pop star thing, but like, so she's doing all the, all the outfit changes and everything. But I'm like, I still feel like she's still like going from like one matronly look to another matronly look. And I just feel like if you're trying to do pop, I'm sorry, the pop is the most ageist genre of all. And like, at least try, at least try not to look so matronly.
Starting point is 00:15:59 I mean, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe, maybe she's not matronly. Maybe like my matronly dars off. But I'm just like, I don't know. I feel like matronly for a pop star because you are a certain age and there is ageism. And I think that the age, the age of stuff is real. And I think that there's no competing with that. You know, like when you're young and you're like, you know, like when you're a Sabrina carpenter and you're like rolling around on the ground or whatever, you can't sing like this. And everyone's like, that's great. But when you get older to stay, to stay in the business,
Starting point is 00:16:28 you have to actually kind of sing, you know what I mean? So I think she should just pick up the mantle from that place and be like this, and still look great, still look fabulous. I'm not saying like come out in a bathrobe, but she should concentrate more on the singing and less of the like trying to do 20 outfit change because she's missing notes all over the place.
Starting point is 00:16:46 So you need to stand there and just concentrate and sing your notes. I think it's that she's like trying to do like all these edgy looks, but she still has this kind of like, you know, Aunt Shemeah has come over for lunch kind of hair, you know, like that's like her like her little Bob is like, I don't know, I just feel like there's a there's a there's a disconnect between like how she's like, like how she styles herself and then also like the clothing and she's wearing, I don't know, but I'm like, this is just not working for me. I'm sorry. It just in terms of like what she's trying to achieve. So, uh,
Starting point is 00:17:17 she comes out and she's, she's going to do this whole thing. And it's also kind of sad cause you can see there's like not a lot of people there. Like it's like blatant, like just massive amounts of empty seats in the background. You can see that they moved the audience like over in the theater to fill up the seats. That way it looked more full for the camera. They have to do tight shots and everyone. And I was like, Oh, like I want, I want Shamiah to win. And I felt like, Oh, I don't know. I didn't feel like this was a strong moment. It was making a lot of wrong turns. Okay. Yeah. So people come, she does this big show, she keeps changing outfits and missing notes and stuff. And she, you know, she's doing things where
Starting point is 00:17:55 it's kind of like the, have you ever seen like a Beyonce documentary? I saw one years ago, where she, it was some TV kind of behind the scenes documentary for one of her concerts. And she's like, I'm in Vegas and one thing I'll always bet on in Vegas is myself, you know? And so she was trying to kind of get that vibe. This is like this BTS documentary of Shemia. And she has these amazing singers that do backup. And she's like, and so I wake up in the morning and I, and then there's a long pause while she points them.
Starting point is 00:18:24 And then they do like the destiny's child Get your t-shirt on She's like, yes. Yes, that's it. You guys finally got okay You're hiring three backup singers that they can out sing the fuck out of you. Just stand there and sing your song. Shamia Come on, man so then um Everybody's seeing each other for the first time since the last confrontation and Phaedra's like,
Starting point is 00:18:46 well, it's the first time I've seen Kelly and Britt since they scared everybody at my, oh, black affair. So I'm hoping we can resolve this. But I'm guessing that's why they had a fake freaking frack. Freaking frack. Freaking frack. Makes more sense. But she's just, because if you're going to be freaking frack, you can't fight back. So then Kelly is of course ignoring Britt and she's like, because if you're going to be fricking frack, you can't fight back. So then Kelly is of course ignoring Britt and she's like, you know, I've showed up for Britt as a friend and you know, the friendship and the love just was not reciprocated. I mean, how many waffles do I have to make someone before she makes me a waffle in turn? It just saddens me that she hasn't been there for me the same way that I've showed up for her.
Starting point is 00:19:20 So at this point, she's just not existing to me. I mean, is she here? Ha ha ha ha ha. So it's Kelly's first rivalry and feud, which is very exciting for her. So she of course is ignoring Britt. They're both totally ignoring each other at this event. So then the show starts. But they're ignoring each other by doing like the,
Starting point is 00:19:35 uh, like licking at each other and being like, uh, I'm ignoring you. I'm ignoring you. It's very first season Housewives fight. And everyone in turn is ignoring them ignoring each other. You can see they're trying to really like make it a thing and everyone like just does not care. Yeah, it's funny because that's like a double showcase and it's kind of failing on every
Starting point is 00:19:56 level you've got Shania's showcase failing you've got these two new Housewives showcase failing it's all kind of going down at the wrong time. You wasted your money, sir It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crap. It's commercial We acting bad bad bad bad we're trying to hurt nobody for decades. He was untouchable But now it's all coming undone Sean combs the mogul as we know it is over he will never be that person again even if he's found not guilty of these charges.

Starting point is 00:21:15 old cradles her newborn son in her arms. They all saw how much I loved him. They didn't have to take him from me. Between 1945 and the early 1970s, families shipped their pregnant teenage daughters to maternity homes and forced them to secretly place their babies for adoption. In hidden corners across America, it's still happening. My parents had me locked up in the godparent home against my will.
Starting point is 00:21:42 They worked with them to manipulate me and to steal my son away from me. The Godparent Home is the brainchild of controversial preacher Jerry Falwell, the father of the modern evangelical right and the founder of Liberty University, where powerful men, emboldened by their faith, determine who gets to be a parent and who must give their child away. Follow Liberty Lost on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. So, then we hear that, we hear from Miss Pat, who's the host, that Shemeah has been singing ever since she came out of her mama's vagina. And so she comes up and she's like, yeah, I've doubted myself in so many ways,
Starting point is 00:22:29 but it all comes down to now. This is the moment that I've been praying for. You prayed to give yourself a showcase. Stop acting like you're backstage at the Grammys. Yes. So she comes out, she sings. So she's like really, um, she's really rusty in the beginning. She's nervous and she's like, and then her producer's like, come on, bring them to church. Come on, you can do this. So then she comes out and then she gets behind on the piano and she starts singing and she's much better. She, she gets it together somewhat, but not, not quick enough to avoid Drew, uh, telling us, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:06 I personally never had this much trouble hitting a note. I'm like, well, can we roll the footage of Drew's big singing debut on this show when she was doing her duet with Candice Dillard where all she sang was, mm. Now I know Drew was a singer. They did show her actual debut, which was singing her single to Ralph at the reunion. My favorite. I love when they pull out that clip because they always show her
Starting point is 00:23:28 singing and then it always cuts to Ralph just sitting there like, what am I doing here? But I just- Get into the basement, get into the basement. You got cameras in my house and you go to Florida. I'm not dumb. Don't treat me like I say to go to the basement. Like we've never seen you hit a note on this show. What are you talking about hot dog lady? You said dog steaming. It's still like one of my favorite things I ever did on the show was have her sing to Ralph at the reunion. It was so silly. Just his look.
Starting point is 00:24:02 at the reunion. It was so silly. Oh, just his look. So Drew's trying to do this like, oh my God, as the resident singer in the group, Drew, just stop. Just stop it. And it was, I don't know, mostly I find Drew funny on this show, but you know, even though I'm kind of ragging on Shemia's performance, I didn't like Drew doing it. You know, I still felt like that's a person for Shemia. I didn't want Drew to do it. I mean, Drew, you were, you're releasing an album that was produced by a hot dog vendor. Okay. Let's just not forget that right now.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Cause apparently the producers did because that storyline just went away, even though it was so much of the first half and that we didn't even get an update on it, but that's fine. Um, so should me, it does this whole thing. It's like a, this is an above and beyond as a showcase. Like, I mean, the fact that she has Ms. Pat doing being MC, the fact that she has an MC like this, the fact that she's doing so many costume changes, I can, I can imagine two, maybe three, but it was, it was like seven costume changes. It was too much for a showcase. Yeah. Cause that's also having people just sit there and wait for you. Exactly. That's what I was thinking. You know, so then they start talking about the shot glasses. Well, Drew makes some shitty
Starting point is 00:25:11 comments, you know, she's like, Shemeah songs. I mean, she probably needed some more rehearsals. Like maybe the mic was on, but it wasn't on. If you know what I mean, it needed to be off probably. But you're Drew. So it doesn't really hold any water. So now we go to the after party and they're taking shots and even the shot glasses have Shamiah's name written all over them. There's money everywhere, which is great. I wish money sounded good on the radio.
Starting point is 00:25:41 I know, I was like, I'm just imagining the record executive who was like, well, I wasn't sure whether or not to sign Shamiah but then I saw the shot glass and I thought you know what this lady could sell some merch we're hiring her. So now we're talking about Angela's gala and she's like we have a goal to feed 100,000 children that look just like us. I'm like well you don't have to tell me we've been watching Charles cooking all season. I think he surpassed that goal by 500,000 at this point. I just like the idea of children with tiny little perfect nose
Starting point is 00:26:12 jobs and fans. That's like a very literal charity. It's very. Feed the children with tiny noses and handheld fans who've got five houses and foreclosure, you know, and that's it. Leave no child hungry or unfan. Make sure they all have a teeny little child without a BBL.
Starting point is 00:26:39 So they are going to cook. It's a nice foundation. They're going to it's it's about, you know, providing food in underserved neighborhoods literally. So then, so she's gonna be doing this thing and Drew is like, let us know what you need. And I'm like, yeah, you should really be very explicit about this because if you're not careful, Britt's going to show up with like another like package of brawny and then that's it. That's all you're going to get from her. So we'll see what she was going to show up with some tough fucking to go boxes in her trunk. So, um, then,
Starting point is 00:27:12 then Drew is asking Kelly how many followers she has and Kelly has like 150,000 and Britt's like, Oh, talking about fake followers. She grew 80,000 followers in one day. Britt, I, you know that you're not the one to talk about fakery because we're about to watch you pretend to buy a private plane when you can't even buy cottage cheese for your guests at your function. Yeah, and Kelly doesn't even deny it. She's just like, well, I didn't know that somebody was stalking my page. She goes, yeah, well, we were close, so I would see it, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:40 because you were posting me. She's like, yeah, because you wanted to be in the competition. She goes, yeah, well, tell were close, so I would see it, you know, because you were posting me. She's like, yeah, because you wanted to be in a competition. She goes, yeah, well, tell your followers to donate. Ha ha ha, okay. Kelly's like, listen, you know, if there's a certain amount, you gotta say it now, because some of us don't know how much to bring.
Starting point is 00:27:59 I was like, oh, I guess Kelly said the joke that I said, which is, then we see again, like, Vim scolding Brit for not bringing anything to charity. And Phaedra says, we don't need another debacle about who's giving what, who drives a Rolls Royce and who's carrying a Birkenbeck because in this group, honey, the girls might have it, but they might not know how to give it. So then Shemeah joins and she's like, thank you, thank you so much. And they all hug her and they're so proud of her. And she's saying, this is what sisterhood is about. This is what it's all about. This is support. This is sisterhood. And I never even hear
Starting point is 00:28:37 you yelling at each other from the stage. So thanks for not fighting over my singing. Okay, let's fight now. So Britt, Cynthia came earlier and told me that you told Porsche, you know, that we that I was still talking shit about her and I felt some kind of way about her. And then we say we see Cynthia telling her that she's like, yeah, we we met him. She she tattletailed. So you better take care of it. And Britt's like, well, we see the flashback to Britt saying, she showed me text messages between the two of you guys. Is that a real friend? So then we come back and Britt's like, well, but you have said things about her. And she's like, what Britt? And she's wearing her sunglasses. She's like, what? What have I said about her Britt? She's like, yeah, I didn't feel she was a good friend, amongst other things. She's like, well, you're lying right now. And she says, I've never showed Brit anything.
Starting point is 00:29:26 And Brit says, you can deny and deny all you want. Because you know, she does that like high lilting sort of like, you can deny all you want, but you can't deny all you want. And she says, I've never shown Brit anything. And she says, I've never shown Brit anything. And she says, I can deny and deny all you want. Cause you know, she does that like high lilting sort of like, meh, meh. You can deny all you want,
Starting point is 00:29:49 but you can't lie about those text messages. When me and Kelly and Shemeah all went out, Shemeah making her show me all the text messages and why she doesn't like me. Why does she hate her? God, she's so annoying. She's really, she is so annoying. So Shemeah's like, you're just jealous.
Starting point is 00:30:08 And she goes, because of Portia? And she goes, no, because of Kelly. She goes, but you talk shit about Portia. And she goes, oh my God, you're just trying to drag my name. You're exhausting. I gotta go. And she's like, well, is it not true about your texts?
Starting point is 00:30:20 And she goes, oh, so you got, so then you take a shot and get butt naked? So that's what you have to do. So, okay. So now you're going to shame her for being naked in the trying to make you feel better about your child moment or whatever. Oh yeah. I thought, yeah, exactly. And Shamia is just like, yeah, by the way, thanks for wearing clothes tonight. Thanks for wearing clothes. And Britt's like, "'Did you? Did you see your daughter when you got to Miami?' And then Shemia's like, now you're giving Shemia the license to start saying, "'Don't bring up my daughter. Don't bring my daughter up. I have a child. How could you?'
Starting point is 00:30:58 And she goes, "'Well, you did that whole situation in Grenada crying.'" And she goes, "'Keep your clothes on, Britt.'" And she goes, "'Yeah, and I thought you were honestly going through it. That's why I did a shot, like, showing you my boobs. Don't forget my daughter. But the second you got to Miami, you were popping shots with Kelly. As if that's supposed to mean anything.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Like, you can still, like, be wanting to go home and do shots at the same time. That's OK. So Shemeah's like, well, at least I'm not popping pills. Oh, don't call me a pill popper because I'm not. It's like you are. I'm only calling what I see. Darling. It's like when you were lying about what your daughter was going through. Oh my God. So now you're accusing her of making up a sick daughter storyline. That's crazy. I know. Well, don't bring up my daughter, Britt. You are a lady of the night Oh, I'm a lady of the night wrong. I'm a lady of the night whose insurance license was suspended because of slander
Starting point is 00:31:53 You're a streetwalker and uphill Papa and she's like I'm a street. I'm a streetwalker cuz I'm a wife Got this fight It's not this These fights are idiotic. It's like written by AI. This is a Chad GPT fight. This car has run out of gas, okay? So she's basically like, you're a slut. And she's like, you're a liar about your child.
Starting point is 00:32:15 And then she's like, oh, really? I was something you sleep around Shabia. Shabia, you're married. And she's like, well, there's always been rumors about infidelity about me since your cat was a kitten. And we know that was a long, long, long time ago. And so they basically just, uh, just sort of fight away from each other. So then, uh, now, by the way, now that we're done with that, let's see what's going on in Kelly's home. Nothing interesting. I'm sorry to say, just when you thought there might be at last something interesting and happy in Kelly's house, that is not. She is waking up her twins
Starting point is 00:32:50 and they wake up. And now we go over to Drew and Drew is seeing, she's sitting with Ralph. She calls up Ralph, or I'm sorry, Ralph asks if he can come upstairs, if he can come out the basement. So she's like, yes, you have permission to come upstairs. And then we cut away from that. Now we go to Brit. This scene, so ridiculous. Brit and Mike are deciding to look at private planes. This reminds me of when Gretchen and Slade decided to go to like a Rolls Royce dealership to pretend like they were going to buy a Rolls Royce as if they could afford anything beyond a Mazda. So Brit's like, Oh, wow. I like it. Do you think it's big enough? Literally? Normally, I would say please go to Shut Up Mountain, except she has already taken herself there. So just enjoy the views. I hope this private plane is good enough for us.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Brent, nobody believes this. I want to know how come I can't go test drive a Prius without proving I have enough money in my bank account, literally to the person. But Britt can just walk onto private planes. Britt, you live in a town home where you can touch both walls with both elbows at the same time and that you can't talk about private planes and if they're big enough for what your needs are.
Starting point is 00:34:00 No, no, sorry, this is all bullshit. This is bullshit, You're poor. Yeah. So then we go back to Kelly's and they're still talking about bacon. So I don't care. So then we go over to, wait, why is Kelly's scene still going on? Because it's a whole thing about the restaurant. She's still not divorced, doesn't want to open up the restaurant until she's divorced because that way she doesn't want her ex to have any access to it. And you know what you should do?
Starting point is 00:34:28 Just not pay the rent on it. And then that'll solve everything because I think that's what she ended up doing. She's just like, I don't want my husband to get it. So I just want to pay the rent and surely that won't affect me in any way. Bye. Yeah, that's not working. It didn't work for Jax Taylor. It's not going to work for you.
Starting point is 00:34:43 So now we go back to Drew and Ralph's answer Ralph has has been released from the basement because the kids aren't around so he's playing the piano he's tinkling the keys tickling the keys and tickling the avarice and Drew's like you missed the piano. He's like, of course I do Well, do you have something he wants to talk about because I've decided to move the piano to the second floor So be even farther away from you. Ah, okay, well, I think one of the big questions is,
Starting point is 00:35:09 how did we get here? How did we get to this particular space? Well, I'm pretty sure you took the staircase that took you from the basement to the living room, so I think that pretty much solves that. Any other questions? Yeah, we get a nice big fake and bake scene with these two where they're like, what went wrong with us?
Starting point is 00:35:23 Why are we fighting all the time? He's like, I don't know, I just are we fighting all the time? I don't know. I just hope we can be there for the children. Yeah. And he's like, yeah, I hope we're there for the children. What do you mean you two are we pretending precious doesn't exist? You know, precious is at home throwing shit at her TV. Like I've worked all year to divorce this woman and now here you are.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Just throwing it all away. Truly. Yeah. No, I don't believe any of this bullshit. Okay, and I'll have like, how did we get here? I'm like, well, we can tell you, you just have to watch the past three seasons and we watch your relationship fall. It was broken when you guys came onto the show,
Starting point is 00:35:56 it got more broken and then we had one season where you pretended like everything was actually better than ever and then it was actually the most broken it's ever been. That's how it got to this place and also Todd Tucker's movie. And also you can't give us a whole season of you guys divorcing and it being messy
Starting point is 00:36:10 and then him trying to release all this information and unsealing documents. And then the last time we see you leaving court with Precious, you're like, well, they just beat our asses in court. We need to know what happened in the divorce. Who has the kids? Who's getting the money?
Starting point is 00:36:22 How much are you getting? I don't care if you're getting along. The fuck is this? What kind of ending is this? I'm getting pissed off at this show now. So then we go to Phaedra going on a date with, uh, is it Che or Chi? How do you say his name? Chi Chi or Chi Chi? Um, I remember him from Married to Medicine, but I didn't watch all that season. So I just couldn't remember. I just, I remember he was on that beach, that beach fight. They were all on, on Merit to Medicine. But, um, they go on their date because Phaedra is a last minute
Starting point is 00:36:50 addition to the shows. They're just trying to like give any sort of scenes with her that they can. So they go to a winery and she's like, who would have thought of winery in Georgia? I'm like, well, I would not have thought of winery in Georgia, but it doesn't mean just because there's a winery does not mean I I'm curious to see if that wine was actually any good because Georgian wine, good wine, or is it just like vinegar? I'm curious because you know, we have like, we have like some wineries in Southern California and not the best, I have to say. I don't think Chi Chi was on Mary to medicine. Was he wasn't Chi Chi the one who was like, it turns out he was like friends with like Apollo?
Starting point is 00:37:28 I don't think that was the same guy. Chi Chi is the one she met in a dating episode, like where they were single dating, but I think Chi Chi was a friend of Apollo. I mean, I think there was another guy on that trip who was a friend of Apollo's who she brought, but I don't think it was Chi Chi. I don't think it was a really tall guy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:47 I don't remember. But, um, okay, so, uh, let's see, where are we now? So I don't have time to Google it. Could you tell I was Googling it now? I'm I have Google in my head. I'm like, Oh my God, I was reading all about Chi Chi and his medical supply business. It's like, he sounds hot. Okay. So they go on this date and they're just like, oh yeah, I'm so into you. And they're like make out and stuff. And she's like, oh, I love mascarpone and I definitely love goat cheese. And only Phaedra could make a sex scene about cheese. And he's like feeding her berries. She's like, Ooh. And the producer asked her if she'd be open to marriage again. And she's like, not really that interested in it.
Starting point is 00:38:34 So, but then she tells, tells them that she's going to be going to a Charles Oakley gala and he could come as in a jet or something like that. So then we go over to Britton Mike and now a Brits whole family has gathered there because once upon a time there was a storyline going on Brit where she's trying to get her family together. So they've now all gathered. And it's like the first time for its family and Mike's family have ever met or something crazy like that. That is so weird. That is so by the way, breaking news. It was
Starting point is 00:39:05 Chi Chi on Mary to medicine. You're correct. And I did watch the whole season. So what the hell? Okay, so that's a lot going on in the world. It's hard to retain information. I mean, either private planes are about to be purchased by Brit. I mean, it's just, it's a lot to take on. I just thought Chi Chi would be in my mind as kind of a hero after almost kicking the ass of Dr. Greg.
Starting point is 00:39:30 So I can't believe I don't have a poster of him in my room, actually. So yeah, so we go to Britt's and she's like, yeah, our families have never met. Which is super bizarre. I'm not really sure what this chick is doing. She says this because of COVID, but COVID was kind of a while ago. So yeah, I mean, like at least lockdown was. So I don't
Starting point is 00:39:54 know everything she says. That's what I mean. Like the pandemic lockdown. Yeah. And I don't know, like, I just don't believe really anything she says. I think there's more to the story. She's like, well, we were gonna get them together, but before our families could meet, State Farm had to approve it, and unfortunately, my family meeting other family license was revoked because of Kenya Moore. So, another trauma.
Starting point is 00:40:19 She's like, even though I haven't always had the best dynamic in friendships, my family is everything. You don't have your best dynamics and family either. You haven't even speaking to your sisters until this season. So come on now. That was like the whole premise of your storyline is that none of you guys talk in some story about the insurance company going down and everything.
Starting point is 00:40:42 So anyway, I was just very sad to see that this gathering did not include the little butler that she had earlier this season when she threw a lobster dinner for her family and tried to make it seem super fancy by hiring a butler in a black tie. We won't take the plane so he can go see his mother. Commercials, here comes one right now. So now it's time for the Charles Oakley Foundation gala day. So everyone's walking in and Angela's saying, the Charles Oakley Foundation has been in existence since 2017.
Starting point is 00:41:19 And Charles is again saying that it's important. They want to feed people and they've had 3000 people during the Super Bowl and just a lot of people and they're doing great work, etc, etc, etc. Tim Cynova So everybody starts to come. And Angela calls Drew and she's asking her when she's coming in. She and Angela's like, Drew and I met with Marcus. So we see a flashback to three days ago, this meeting with this shady queen trying to get on TV. So Marcus is like, well, Charles has been in my restaurant twice with another woman.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Okay, first of all, fuck your restaurant then. What's the name of this restaurant? Nobody go to this restaurant. If I'm not allowed to cheat on my spouse in a comfortable environment, why would I even eat there? You can't just go tell people what I'm doing in your restaurant, sir So Marcus, I'm afraid none of us will be going to the Kava you've been working in so
Starting point is 00:42:17 I do love Kava. I don't know why I took a shot at you Kava. Please forgive me. Make it a shot stop If you're gonna do that Somewhere I've worried anyway Chedders so then So so we see the scene and Angela's like, okay, so when did this happen? And he, and so there's a guy named Alex that's there who's Marcus's employee. And Alex says, uh, it happened probably in June. You're a liar. You're a bad liar. And we picked up on that bullshit immediately because my husband
Starting point is 00:42:45 was coaching in the Big Three and he was on national television at the time. Also, the Big Three is also what we call our foreclosures these days. We got three big foreclosures looming. Nat Peltz So she says, I know Marcus didn't act alone and there's more to the story. So Drew on the phone is like, well, you know, he just said that he hopes that we have his back. And, you know on the phone is like, well, you know, he just said that he hopes that we have his back. And, you know, I was just like,
Starting point is 00:43:07 we'll tell the truth and then we'll have your back. So now we go back to the flashback of the meeting with Marcus and she's like, who put you up to this and got you into that event? That's what we want to know. And she goes, oh, you don't want to say it out loud, Marcus. You afraid? You want to write it down?
Starting point is 00:43:24 So he writes it on his phone to show them, come on. This is so dramatic. This is so stupid. And also like, you know, if someone, I don't know, I don't know if I believe anything this person says. So then they look at it like, Oh my God. And Angela says, I just want to know why, why did I, what did I do to provide that type of action
Starting point is 00:43:45 from her? But we'll see. So now they're going to get to the bottom of it. So back at the party, Cynthia meets Chi Chi, and then everybody's arriving and say hi and stuff. And so Porsche is like, well, just because Britt said the other day that Sheme is still talking about me, that's so low on the totem pole when it comes to things that are pouring in my life. So if she has good energy, fine. If she doesn't, fine. What do I care? Like I'm concentrating on my house. Yes. They decided to bring back the house thing out of nowhere this episode. Getting the house back. Getting the house back. They're like, oh yeah, I remember we, this was in the season premiere. We decided we'd make this a through line.
Starting point is 00:44:22 So everyone's saying hi and Kelly is talking to Shamia and saying that, oh, you killed it the other night. You were great and every song was a moment. You know, you were so good, blah, blah, blah, just really kissing your ass, et cetera. And she's like, you know, not everybody can handle this. And Shamia is like, yeah, well, I'm okay with that. She goes, yeah, they can't handle what's going on. And she's like, Are you okay? Are we trying to make this about you now? Because I'm not really sure what you're talking about. And she's like, Yeah, well, don't one monkey stop no show. She goes, Oh, so and so now Brits like, Oh, you know, she was mad at me now guys. And they're like,
Starting point is 00:45:00 why? And Cynthia goes, No, no, you remember the conversation she shared with us? And Britt's like, well, I was just letting her know that, okay? Yeah. And Cynthia's like, well, yeah, that she shared it with you and everything. So Portia's like, how did she know that you, what she said, what you told me? Cynthia's like, yeah, I told her.
Starting point is 00:45:17 I said something, sorry. Listen, some things were said. I don't like to be blindsided. So I just thought, I just want you to, just want you to know, I put you on alert. So then Charles and Angela greet everyone and we have the gala goes forward. So they have some guests that come on. They talk about this talk.
Starting point is 00:45:36 We have the CEO of meals on wheels, Atlanta's there. We have someone from the purse foundation and it's very nice. It's very good. It's a very good, you know, it's a very good event. Okay. Lots of important people there. People gave money to charities. Okay. Yeah. And Porsche gives a speech because her grandfather is like a big guy and was a big guy in like the fundraising and charity space. So she has Porsche up and Porsche's like, well, I would just just you know, I would
Starting point is 00:46:05 like to thank all of the railroads for actually being undergrad now in New York City. Thank you New York City for making me less stupid. Thank you. So then we move on to fighting, which is what it's really about. So Shamiah is like, you know, I didn't want this group to change the dynamic of my friendship with Portia because she's my person. And so they can, you know, they all console Portia. She cries about Londy and stuff. And then, um, Britt's like, yeah, it's okay. Take a deep breath. Best friend. You're my best friend. Right. Come on. I'm here for you. It's your best friend. I'm like, show me. Hey, Portia, do you want it? Do you want to mourn on my plane?
Starting point is 00:46:44 Hey, Portia, do you want to mourn on my plane? Cynthia says, Cynthia says, I love that no matter what we're going through, when one of us is in need, we all come together. I love that she like, I know exactly. We make it about ourselves. Also like I love the excessive pats on the back for just doing the most basic human thing. Like someone's like close relative died and like, look at the good we do. Control someone when they're dealing with death. This is a sisterhood when saying I'm sorry that your cousin died. Yeah, we've really learned it. So now Cynthia's like, who's missing over here? Drew and Phaedra, where could they
Starting point is 00:47:21 be? And Portia's like, what do you mean? Like the whole half of people. Because now there's all this drama because Angela is ready to start her drama for the finale. So the ladies are all sort of sitting together in this one area and Angela thanks them for coming and et cetera. And she goes, well, as you guys are all aware, the other day at Kelly's event, I was ambushed by a gentleman.
Starting point is 00:47:44 So Kelly went over there and proposed a toast to the guy and you know what Kelly, I still find it odd that it would happen in the middle of your event. Jacques Hughes! But not you, Twist! I bet you thought I was gonna come for you, I didn't. My husband when I told him he was like, that doesn't add up. Who invited him?
Starting point is 00:48:03 And you know, I didn't have the, you know and you know I didn't have the we know you and I didn't want the best relationship And I wasn't certain if you had sent to someone and Brits like well now I mean I'm a married woman So at the other day I would never want to sabotage you especially when I'm busy Looking at private planes that I'm definitely gonna buy I'm busy looking at private plans that I'm definitely gonna buy. Yeah, I just wanted to make sure. All I was worried about was fitting my new Bentley inside of my new plane. It couldn't have been me. I love the second day of marriage.
Starting point is 00:48:34 So, at the end of the day... You get nothing for nothing. I was hoping you would say you get private plans for nothing, but that's fine too. We've had our differences, but I'm married. I just love that Angela's teasing this out. She keeps on pointing the finger like, it was you, but it wasn't you, but it was you. It was on the rhyme show on Netflix. Everybody is guilty until the season finale.
Starting point is 00:49:01 It's like this episode, the chef's guilty. That episode, the secretary is guilty. So she's doing that in speed up mode. I just participated in my first ever murder mystery dinner party over the weekend. And it definitely was like pretty much almost identical to the scene. It was like, it definitely wound up
Starting point is 00:49:19 with all of us accusing each other, like, but you wanted the money, but you were angry that he liked someone else. It was basically just Angela moving her finger around and accusing everyone. Yeah. And Brett's like, I respect marriage, but the finger is definitely pointing at Kelly's direction. So she's like, yeah, well, I think Drew and I finally got to the bottom of it. And Drew's like, we found out it wasn't even true.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Who invited him? Who hired him? I don't know. Where is he? So then Drew stands up to get him and Portia's like, why would you want to bring the guy who talked about your husband to the group to explain your husband cheating on you? Like, it just doesn't make any sense. But Angela has proven this season that that clearly the producers say to her, hey, you should do this.
Starting point is 00:50:07 And she does this. Like that trip to Nashville, everything. And so she's just like, sure, I'll bring this messy queen in at the finale at my charity dinner. Yeah, her initial response to all this was, that's bullshit. I don't believe that. We all know it's a lie. Why even give it air?
Starting point is 00:50:20 And then the next episode, she's like, I'm hunting him down. And I'm going to get him to write on a piece of paper. Who did it? Because she was lying before, but now he's definitely telling the truth. So they bring in this guy, Marcus, they he's like a kindergartener with like a juice box like Marcus, do you want to say something to the group? Come on, Marcus. He's like, you guys can have my bag. You guys can have my bag. You guys can have my bag. Oh my God. He's all nervous.
Starting point is 00:50:44 He's like, hi. But Charles sees this and Charles did not know about these shenanigans. And so he's like, no, no, no, you gotta go. He's like, get the fuck out of here. You disrespected my wife. Yeah, get your motherfucking ass out of here. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:50:56 He's like, I have to leave? I have to leave? And he's like, you disrespected my wife. So get your motherfucking ass out of here. Get out of here. No, he's gotta go. Charles, no, Charles. No, no, he's outta here. He disrespected you that other time, right? And I'm gonna do of here. No, he's out of here. He just respected you that
Starting point is 00:51:06 other time. No, no, no, but it'll be good. And she was screaming, trust me Charles. They're screaming at each other in the middle of this event. She's like, I'm trying to have a season finale scene Charles. Girl, you were just in therapy talking about communication and you don't even tell your husband you're bringing somebody to his Meals on Wheels event. Charles Wollinbaker You didn't warn your husband about a stunt? You should have to. Jeffery Pysh So then Marcus is like, Charles, I apologize to you.
Starting point is 00:51:37 I apologize to your wife. And I truly said that I was sorry. I am sorry, Charles. I am here to speak the truth. Now I am sorry. And he's like, you disrespected me as a man. So then eventually, I'm glad he didn't disrespect you as a bird. What does that mean? I kind of wish he did disrespect me as a bird.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Why don't you plan for one? You disrespected me as an eagle and I will never stand for that. Good luck trying to get on the Atkins diet, Mr. Breadcrumb eater. So they're like, oh my God, that guy better get out of Charles's face. He'll lay him out, you know? And they're all laughing because this is crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:17 And they're talking about how his reputation in the NBA is as the enforcer. And they're like, they're going to enforce his ass right onto the floor, you know? So all the ladies are loving this. And the little gay is just wailing like, I said I was sorry Charles, I said I was sorry, please come to Chopstop, come to Chopstop. Eventually Charles is like, you're fucking lucky, you're lucky because I'm going to let my wife do her scene, but I'm out and take this fucking mic off of me, I don't want
Starting point is 00:52:42 to do this shit anymore. She goes, Charles, I wanted to clear my name. And he goes, it wasn't the police with handcuffs. My name is clear. So then they take Marcus and they're like, okay, sweetie. Okay, sit down. Do you want anything? Do you want a snack?
Starting point is 00:52:59 You want a little piece? You want a granola bar? You want to juice by saying, yes, please. Okay. Okay. Now that that was scary, but there's somebody in this circle that is not happy with Angela. And who is that? OK. And Shemeah is like, OK, you got to say you need to say who it is. OK, sweetie, you want to say it?
Starting point is 00:53:19 Are you comfortable saying it? He's like, it's Phaedra. And everyone's like, what? Phaedra? And everyone's like, what? Phaedra? And Angela's like, Phaedra, how could you do some shit like that? And Phaedra's like, what? And Rick goes, uh-uh, it wasn't Phaedra, it wasn't Phaedra.
Starting point is 00:53:33 And Phaedra's like, what are you talking about? And Rick's like, we need proof, we need proof. And Marcus goes, Phaedra is the godfather in Atlanta. And she goes, the godfather of what? My mother taught me to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Well, I mean, that's kind of a godfathery thing to say. And she-
Starting point is 00:53:53 Well, that's why she's saying it. She's doing the line from the godfather. She's like, my mother taught me to keep your friends close. Like she's doing the lines from the godfather. And Marcus is like, she controls Atlanta. She goes, what? What are you talking about? And he's like, I'm just lines from The Godfather. And Marcus is like, she controls Atlanta. She goes, what? What are you talking about? And he's like, I'm just nervous to speak my truth.
Starting point is 00:54:09 The Godfather's gonna come get me. Horse head in my bed, horse head in my bed. Fagers like, of course, blame me. I'm an easy target, but girl, I absolutely have no reason to put anybody up to this nonsense. I already have had my marriage destroyed on national TV. So there's no way in hell
Starting point is 00:54:27 I would come for anyone else's marriage. Marcus, I trusted you. You're my brother. She kisses him on the cheek. So Marcus is like, the tea was dropped to me at Phipps Plaza the Monday before the event. And Phaedra goes, you've never met me. You're crazy.
Starting point is 00:54:44 And he goes, you dropped it off to me. And she goes, dropped off what? And he says the envelope. And she says, what envelope? With the info, the envelope with the info. Why are you pretending like, you know, you haven't seen this movie? And she goes, what info though? And so, and Cynthia goes, now I know that and Auntie Phaedra left no receipt, like a whole envelope. She's not gonna do that. Phaedra's sneaky, but she's good sneaky. Yeah. If Phaedra didn't get caught with that whole mess with Apollo going to jail,
Starting point is 00:55:14 she's not gonna get caught with a messy Marcus. So, of course she's like- At least with the stuff that happened with Kandi, Phaedra had motive. You know what I mean? Phaedra was like, okay, well, this girl's like besties with Apollo and hiding all of his shit from the FBI in her garage.
Starting point is 00:55:28 And she's doing a lot of shit that best friends shouldn't be doing. Now her revenge was despicable, of course. No one's gonna stand up for Phaedra's revenge. But if you're looking at it from a crime point of view, she had a means, an opportunity, and a motive. There was a reason. And in this, she's like, I don't even know this girl.
Starting point is 00:55:44 What the fuck do I care about her and her shitty marriage? Yeah, I just, I have to, something does not seem right about this. So Portia's like, she's like, the only thing I heard Phaedra say about Charles is that he likes to have a good time. So I don't see why she would have it up for Angela. I mean, she just got here.
Starting point is 00:56:00 She went on one trip and now she's been framed. And Brink goes, so she reached out to you and he goes, we have a connect. And so they all start laughing because it's so ridiculous. And Angela goes, yeah, and tell us who the connect is. Say the name that you guys know. And he goes, yeah, his name is Junebug. And they all start cracking up.
Starting point is 00:56:19 They're like, Junebug. And Sheme goes, Drew, did you write this or did you just act in it? Got it, Tooby, Tooby. Angela's like, Drew, did you write this or did you just act in it? Got it. To be to be Angela like who's June bug. And Portia goes, that's an actor's name. If I ever heard one June bug, you know what? This is all the team that Todd Tucker came up with. And then we see a flashback to Ann Bertha saying like, well, it could have been a scheme that Todd set up for him to come to you with a bullshit.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Then she like spins around like she just came to solve something. Come to you with the bullshit. Yeah. Marcus is like, I promise that's the truth. You guys don't want to hear the truth. I am done with it. I am out of here.
Starting point is 00:56:59 You can't handle the truth. So Cynthia's like, well, shit, that could be any of our cousins. I mean, everybody's got a June bug around here somewhere. I was dying laughing. This was so good. And so Phaedra's like, why would I have a beef with you? And Angela goes, maybe because I have a ring.
Starting point is 00:57:18 And Phaedra goes, what ring do you have that I would want? She goes, marriage. And she goes, you think I want your marriage? And she goes, well, you want a marriage, Phaedra, because you tried to come in between mine. And she's like, you did it, you sent him. And no one is believing that this is so crazy. Listen, Phaedra is not a trustworthy witness. But Marcus is the most unreliable narrator. Anyway, she had someone named June bug meet you in Phipps Plaza with an envelope that said Charles was cheating in your restaurant. Why would you need an envelope with information if you saw somebody cheating in your restaurant?
Starting point is 00:57:55 What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, exactly. Well, I mean, the envelope, the envelope of money to say that somebody was he's so stupid. Marcus, get out of here. You know what happens to snitches, don't you? No. But let's find out. They get riches. So Angela's like, this is your character. I know the moves you play
Starting point is 00:58:18 and the level that you're playing out of this kind of load because I trusted you and I liked you. Peter goes, well, I liked you too, but you're accusing me of something with no proof. In The Godfather it says, beware of the person who brings you the information, Phaedra, and you gave me everything. You gave me everything. So the producer's like, well, how did you receive Marcus's full name and work information? So Angela says, Phaedra called me and she said, you know, the guy who approached you, I do remember him. She said she has the memory of an elephant and his name was Marcus such and such. And she said he worked in such and such. And she gave me the information.
Starting point is 00:58:54 And his restaurant was called such and such kitchen. So I got to the bottom of such and such. And Phaedra goes, it's because he introduced himself at the event in front of us. It wasn't information that I came up with. I just remembered the event when he said his name and the restaurant he works at. And she's like, I don't know that man from Adam's house cat. It was my event. The real person is the person who made the guest list and allowed him in, which I think makes more sense. I mean, I think it was probably if it was anybody was Kelly, it was her event. And Kelly's also the one that went up and initiated a cheers with him after he did that. So she was really trying to keep it going. So if anybody is at fault here, it would be Kelly. But I don't believe Kelly did it really.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Or it's just a messy producer. It could just be it's just Eric Fuller back there trying to make something fucking happen on another season. He just be. It's just Eric Fuller back there trying to make something fucking happen on another season. He's fucking up. Is it Eric Fuller? I'm going to see. Cause I'm accusing that. They're, I thought they removed him from the show cause he fucked it up so badly. I mean he fucked up this show and Potomac, I believe. Um, allegedly. So Angela is like, Oh, the roads lead to Phedra and she goes, you're researching,
Starting point is 01:00:04 but you're failing to tell us that you're in foreclosure. Which has literally nothing to do with this. And she goes, that's not, she goes, that's, that ain't no thesis. I will tell you everything I'm going through, honey. And I will get it out of it. But because what it is, is one failed friendship after group to another. And here you are doing the same shit you did with the old friends. Clearly referencing marriage medicine, I'm assuming. Yeah. It looks like Eric Fuller did not do, uh, this season of this. So sorry, Eric Fuller. I don't know who I'm supposed to be yelling at now.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Somebody tell me so I can yell properly during the reunion. Whoever it is is fucking it up. Oh, it's Shmerrick Luller. Wait a second. It's just Eric Fuller with a mustache on. It's like the mustache of Monocle. No, I'm not related to him at all. Yeah, so Cynthia's like, you know, you're walking around here, like you think you got your shit together. But do you even let your kids visit their father? And she's like, they do
Starting point is 01:01:04 all the time. What are you talking about? She goes, are you sure? Cause you're a horrible person. You're a horrible person. Are you sure? Cause you are a horrible person. So Shemeah is like, in my spirit,
Starting point is 01:01:14 I'm feeling like the prime suspect is Britt Eady. Angela, you told the girl she had stretch marks on her mouth. Britt makes sense too. Yeah, Britt is probably the, Britt would be messy like this. I think Britt's Keltner- It makes sense too. Justin Perdue Yeah, Brit is probably the Brit would be messy like this. I think Brit's the good- David Keltner- Brit is the one trying to like make the the housewives story storylines go and start fights all the time and just overdoing every single thing and like filming
Starting point is 01:01:34 on her private plane which she doesn't own. I mean, Brit is really the one trying to do all the housewives stuff. Justin Perdue Yeah. David Keltner- And so Phaedra is like, well, I don't have anything to do. Although I don't believe that anybody did it, really. I mean, even that's how tricky this queen is, making us doubt everybody on the show. Like the person I trust the least on this show
Starting point is 01:01:52 is this Marcus bitch. Get him out of here. He didn't earn a spot on this show. You did not audition, get out, wheel him out. Yeah, I think he's thirsty. I think he wanted to have a moment of fame. I think that that's what he's going for. I think he's ready to do the whole like podcast,
Starting point is 01:02:08 social media circle. He's gonna be for popping up on YouTube, giving his side of the story. Like just watch, just watch this guy's in it to be famous. So I don't trust anything. I mean, they're all in it to be famous to be fair, but he's even more shameless. Yeah, but they're at least on the show.
Starting point is 01:02:24 They're doing their job. He's just some fucking weirdo trying to get attention. So I think Portia has it right when she says, I think Angela did it to herself. Fight me at the reunion, bitch. Yeah. So Angela's like, well, I'm sad that we ended on this note. Well, you did it, Angela.
Starting point is 01:02:41 Everything was fine until you brought out the, until you brought out Marcus and then you sort it, Angela. Everything was fine until you brought out the until you brought out Marcus and then you started to accuse everyone. Angela, the queen of making every situation awkward with some weird accusation. So now we get the after season update things and Kelly has closed the doors on her marriage and she's preparing to open new doors for Sandy Springs Nana's chicken and waffles and in spring or summer 2025. She'll be double checking the guest list for the grand opening. Update, it has not opened. That was an update by Jessica, our note taker, who did some good research there.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Shamia is the next one. I don't know. It's just, there's, they're basically just like all now squabbling now. It's like a lot of squabbling and it goes back and forth between like updates, et cetera. Shemia is complaining about Britt. And their fighting is so, it makes no sense still, you know? And so Britt's saying that she was faking the daughter being sick.
Starting point is 01:03:39 And Shemia is like, you said I was faking her being sick. She goes, no, I never said that she was faking it. Yes, you did. You literally said that. So I don't trust you either, as you're pointless, you know? Yes. You say one thing and then deny it
Starting point is 01:03:51 the next two minutes later, like. Right, and Shemeah's saying, you threaten people with guns. That's what you do, you whore. And Britt's like, I'm not doing this with them. So now we see Britt is using her clean slate to open a new insurance agency. She's also working hard to release bare and naked so that the masses can be snatched just like her. What was bare naked also? She mentioned at one point, I don't even remember what that even was. It's such a generic name. It was her shapewear. Okay. It was such a
Starting point is 01:04:21 generic name. Remember she came out with shapewear and she put up like a before and after, but they were the exact same picture. And she's like, you know, different. I looked there. It was so, she came out with a statement and she put up like a before and after, but they were the exact same picture. And she's like, yeah, different. I looked there. I was inspired by getting my baby out in Brazil. Yeah. Then we see Drew, Drew's album. I did it to me. That reminds me of my mom. I've told you the story before, but my mom wanted a facelift and my dad was like, I'm not getting you a facelift. That's ridiculous. So she like saved up her money and she finally gets a facelift.
Starting point is 01:04:55 She, you know, you have, you're covered like a zombie. So she finally wanted to see it. And they always tell you, do not go take off your own bandages. Don't do it. But my mom did. And she, my dad just heard a wailing and he runs down thinking like, Oh my God, what's going on. And she's just in the bathroom screaming, I'm a monster. And I did it to me.
Starting point is 01:05:20 And all these years later drew named her album that I'm going to get that from my mom. I did it to me. Pete Larkin While her music career is on high, her relationship with Ralph is still on a low as he continues to reside in his basement apartment in the sky with an end to the divorce nowhere in sight. Is her music career on a high right now? I'm not sure. I'm not sure, but God knows. And I get the George Jefferson reference here, but it still didn't make much sense.
Starting point is 01:05:49 He continues to reside in his basement apartment in the sky. Yeah. And also Ralph has literally never moved on up, ever. Yeah. Actually, maybe he did. Actually, when he married Drew Sidora, he moved on up because Drew was famous before the show and has, like, she's a known entity.
Starting point is 01:06:04 So Ralph did move on up then. But now he's, and has like, she's a known entity. So Ralph did move on up then. But now he's, if they were to make the Jeffersons about Ralph, it'd be, so we're stagnating, stagnating. I think that's what the vibe would be. So then we go to, Shemia's like, I don't know, Shemia is still pissed off at Brett. So then we see while Baby Shiloh continues to make progress, Shumia has a new surrogate and will welcome a baby soon. Her single, Never Had, was released in March, 2025. She hopes that listeners don't talk over it this time. They will.
Starting point is 01:06:38 And then Angela is like, thank you, Phaedra. Hope you enjoyed yourself. And they just smile at each other. And then we see that Phaedra. Hope you enjoyed yourself. And they just smile at each other. And then we see that Phaedra is booked and busy and adding more jobs to her resume until her boys retire her. Meanwhile, her chocolate prince, Gigi, is still satisfying her sweet tooth. Mascarpone. And then Angela sold three houses, but two have unfortunately been lost. However, she's- What does that mean have unfortunately been lost. However, she's been lost. I'm assuming foreclosed on or I don't know,
Starting point is 01:07:09 maybe they burned down or maybe they like, wait, wasn't the house at this address? No. Where was it? It doesn't make any sense. I don't know where that house is. I guess we lost it. Did she sell them at a loss? That would make sense. Or did you just let them go into foreclosure and let the banks take them? Cause that's crazy. It was such a dramatic, I think it was that they were foreclosed on, but such a dramatic way to say it. Two of them have unfortunately been lost. Yeah. But now she's coming out
Starting point is 01:07:34 with Fangee, a line of fans. Fangee. Oh, I get it. Uh, and no word on when she and Charles will renew their vows. Please don't because that's gonna be the end of your marriage. And so then, you know, now Portia and Cynthia are talking and Cynthia is saying, Britt told Shemeah that she told you and I had a conversation with Shemeah. They're basically just talking about Shemeah and stuff. And Portia- Well, because Portia was like,
Starting point is 01:08:02 why are you gonna go try and start another fight with me and Shemeah? I already knew that Shemeah said that, Stefan, I didn't care, I was gonna let it go. So, and Cynthia's like, why are you going to go try and start another fight with me and Shemia? I already knew that Shemia said that stuff and I didn't care. I was going to let it go. So and Cynthia's like, well, listen, I'm just a friend of and that's my job. She's like, whatever. Okay, fine. I forgive you.
Starting point is 01:08:14 So then, um, and Portia's like, whatever, I'm fine with Shemia. And that's my ending. So Portia, um, we get the ending with Portia because we started with Portia running outside. Remember when she put on her sneakers with Portia running outside, remember? When she put on her sneakers and she went running outside and everybody was like, Portia does not go running. I'm sorry. And she certainly does not go running outside.
Starting point is 01:08:33 So we get a more realistic ending, which is Portia running on her treadmill at home. You know? And we remember she had to run outside because she couldn't film in her home, but now she can. Yeah, because the divorce has sort of gone through ish and she says, how are you going to keep somebody out of your house and you've been deported? Yeah, she's like, I can't tell you how exciting I'm to be able to film in my home. Wow, we still have to move forward. But
Starting point is 01:09:01 now we can film in my home, which would have been more exciting if they had just tried to keep that thread going through the season. I was like, oh yeah, I guess that was a thing. I don't know if we needed to pick the cameras back up five months later to see this, but that's cool. So nice. The house looks nice.
Starting point is 01:09:18 So then- Nothing feels as safe as living in a house that you could be kicked out of any moment. So that's good. So we see her happy and her about to be gone house and then see that Simon was detained by ice, don't don't don't. Leaving the divorce on ice. I see. Wow. So thanks a lot. ISE for, you know, among all the other things that you're ruining for now, interrupting house. Housewife storyline. No, fuck Ice.
Starting point is 01:09:49 They really can't do anything right. They are just the worst in so many different ways. Now they're even fucking up the Housewife storylines. Although Simon, you know, a broken clock is right. A couple times a day you got Simon. No one was a fan of Simon at this point, I think on this show. They still fuck you guys.
Starting point is 01:10:05 Fuck guys. So that was that for Atlanta season 17. Was it season 17? Just crazy. Yeah, season 16. So we have, there's going to be this reunion coming up after the July 4th weekend. So we will look forward to that.
