Speaker 1 (00:03):
Reality with the King is hosted by me, Carlos King.
I'm an executive producer who have produced some of your
favorite shows from the Real Housewives in Atlanta, New Jersey
and my own creation, The Love and Marriage Franchise and
Bell Collective. Every episode we recap reality television from the
Real Housewives Franchise to The Bachelor or Selling Sunset, in

(00:27):
addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or
scripted as well. So before we get into recapping the
Real Housewives of Atlanta Part three reunion, we first need
to talk about some things that broke the Internet over
the weekend. Let's get started. Klaudia, our friend Kendlmoorg went

(00:53):
on live to discuss the fact that she will not
be returning as of now to she was season seventeen
of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. She said, as of now,
she did not receive a phone call, a pickup letter, nothing,
so she takes it as as of now, that's not happening.

(01:13):
But before Kenya decided to hit stop on the YouTube
live recording, she did reveal some information that according to
things she's heard, that two new women will be joining
the Real house Watch of Atlanta. Kenya Moore did not
reveal names. She said one woman is a business woman

(01:36):
and that the other woman is a former Love and
Hip Hop star. She did not stay names. From there,
the rumor meal exploded and everybody has said that the
rumor is the new two cast members entering season seventeen
is Pinky Cole, who is an entrepreneur that created the

(01:59):
Slow Being in brand. She's married, she has children, and
she also people don't know that she's a former producer
and she's very successful. The Love and Hip Hop star.
People are saying it's kay michellek. Michelle, as you all know,
has been on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, Hollywood, and

(02:21):
she was also on Queen's Court. Also had a bunch
of spin offs. I produced a show of hers called
Mike Killer Body with Kyman Shell for a Lifetime. She's a
household name. Qaumia. What do you think about this news
of who the potential new cast members are going to be?

Speaker 2 (02:39):
It just makes this such a different show, and I
feel like the thing has nothing to do with who
they're talking about.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Bring on the show.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I just feel like when they just it feels like
they just keep grasping at different straws every season. Let's
see if this works. Let's see if this works, and
see if this works, and we're getting away from the friendships.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
If Ca, Michelle, and Picky have relationship and friendships with
the girls that are on it, then I think it
can work. But if you're just throwing people into a
pot and hoping for the best, that's the same thing
they've been doing for the last few seasons that people.
That's been the reason why in Jail, like the season
when Sonya was on all the other people.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
I love Sony.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I actually recommend it Sonya, But like the you have
to have a person that like brings you in, like
there's gonna be some kind of history, you know what
I mean, or just feels disjointed and they call it
something else and just name it, give it a different
name of a show, because none of the nostalgia's there.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
You're getting rid of the old g's.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
You're bringing new people, which is good if you want
to bring new energy in, I'm here for it. If
they know each other, most likely they probably know someone there.
But like if we find out like Ky Michelle and
Kelly are good friends, or you know, Porscho or whatever,
then it would make sense, like all right, cool, cool,
you know what I mean. But like it feels like
every year we're starting over, like it's season one again.
Getting to know new people and how everybody knows each other,

(03:58):
that's my opinion. But exciting people. These people got to
going on. They're both married. I heard Chemis show recy
was married. It's kind of like on the load they
said she got a marriage license recently in Memphis, I believe.
So I don't know much about it about that, but
I did see on Queen's Fort and I thought she
was great on the show.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
So yeah, Dustan, Yeah, So let's just go candidate by candidate, right,
So we'll start with Pinky Cole. So Pinky Cole, first
of all, I know her personally in real life. She's
a friend of mine and we worked together before she
was a guest on my podcast, The Friend Zone. We
used to support her Jamaican restaurant at Harlem before she

(04:35):
even started Sludy Vegan.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
She went on to become a multi millionaire.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
Restaurant tour with the Slutty Vegan franchise, which was wildly successful,
and she's married to the owner of Dave she Steaks,
which is another very successful chain. So he's got his own,
she's got her own, and they just had three stair
step babies. Pinky and I worked together on two seasons
when I hosted bet On Black on Revolt. Pinky was

(05:00):
one of the judges both in season two, which I
host it, and in season three, which I host it,
so I'm very familiar with her. I'm so glad that
you highlighted the fact that Pinky has a history as
a television producer because she also understands that space in
a way that technical understanding of television production couple with
her very outgoing personality. Pinky can talk to anybody, and

(05:24):
she can sell water to a well. So Pinky and
she has a very original, eclectic style, and they got
the money to facilitate the authenticity we're looking for. So Pinky,
I think, great choice, and it'll be interested to see
her mess with the ladies. Claudia hit the nail on
the head when she said that there needs to be
an authentic connection with the women in order for it

(05:44):
to feel good for the viewers, right and for it
to make sense, because what we don't want is another
Kim Field's es pasting situation, right, So that's that. Now,
k Michelle, it's a different case. It's Ky Michelle, a
person of interest on reality TV. Yeah, she has a
history of being completely polarizing on camera, of being completely

(06:09):
willing to cross certain lines that most people might not.
That equates the interesting television, you know what I'm saying.
So seeing came Michelle in the mix, we know that
the confrontation piece she will be able to satisfy.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
Right.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
She's quick on her feet, she is witty, she says
funny things. We all across the world say shaking the
table now when something is being disrupted in a noteworthy way, right,
And that is straight up from cam Michelle's brain. So
we understand that she contributes that way in television, in
the reality television space, and we recognize the value in that.

Speaker 6 (06:43):
Do I want to see.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
Cay Michelle as a Real Housewife of Atlanta with what
we know on what Claudia mentioned as well, what the
show is the esteem that those women carry in their
own way, right, and the distinction that has always been
very evident between the casting decisions for Real Life of
Atlanta or Real Housewives of any city versus shows like
Love and Hip Hop or any other reality show in

(07:06):
the mix. They wouldn't even let Snicky be on Real
Housewives of New Jersey allegedly because of her history and
her notorious fame from Jersey Shore. They didn't think that
that aligne which is what I've heard. So we don't know, right,
I think Came I say all that to say what
I cast Came a show on the.

Speaker 6 (07:22):
Real Housewives of Atlanta. Absolutely not, you know what I'm saying.
But do I also see.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
A world where maybe, just maybe, you know what I'm saying,
she can bring something of interest to this show and
make it interesting again. I can see where that would exist.
And I also know that as soon as they announce
her as a housewife, she is definitely going to bring
viewership to the show. There's people who we didn't Housewives
of Atlanta that will watch if Came Michelle is actually

(07:49):
cast on this show. Now, speaking of Kenya Moore's live
she absolutely all but confirmed it was Cay Michelle every
other name once she made the broad stroke blind right
that someone from Love and Hip Hop was coming to
the Real house Office of Atlanta next season. Prior to
that statement, Kenya had already said that the cast was
basically set She said that they were alleged to start

(08:10):
filming in the next two weeks, and she literally whittled
down the casting choices between She said, one is she said,
they're both known people, right, She said, one is known.
She's a restaurant tour, basically profiling Pinky. Then she said
one comes from Love and Hip Hop. As she started
answering questions on the live people were throwing names out,
suggesting different things like Rashida and Yandy, and Kenya was

(08:33):
responding with no, no, not Rashida, No, not Yandy. Someone
called out ky Michelle's name and Kenya said, that's a
good guess. Then she said that the person from Love
and Hip Hop was actually a singer. So Kenya basically
confirmed in her own weapon it was allegedly came Michelle.
So we know, you know, the two choices look like.
Kenya looked like Pinky calling Cae Michelle. That's what we're

(08:56):
working with. So is the show gonna be good with
ky Michelle?

Speaker 6 (09:00):
Yeah? I think it'll be worth watching, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
It just was a shocking choice to me because when
I see k Michelle, I don't think of the brand
association of Bravo and the Real Housewives of Atlanta. That's
not a slight against her, It's just I don't she
doesn't align with.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
What I knew the brand to be.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
But I would love to see this as an evolution
for her, you know, a new era. She got a
country record, find to come out ship, so you know,
why not Let's see what she's got.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Okay, I I had a didn't. I didn't see everything
dost than just outline, which is my I don't have
a poker face. Claudia place poker and wins big money.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
I don't have it. Well, I will say that the
skill set that I do have is producing, and I'm
trying to be like the most professional.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
Producer is the business, because I don't ever want to
be anybody that confirms things without the proper resources do
we gain?

Speaker 1 (10:10):
So roll with me, rain jobs.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
I will say this, Yeah, Pinky and k Michelle are
part of the cast. What I will say is I'll
start with Pinky. I know Pinky. Pinky is a wordsmith.
Pinky has the type of personality, she owns the room
she's in. Pinky Pinky did something with Miss Winfrey. My

(10:38):
boss had own where she I believe she had to
give up an award to Oprah. Pinky. Now we're gonna
talk about some rooms folks are in. We'll get to Charles,
get to Charles Shay later, because all three of us
are in tons of rooms. Now, you could be in
the room. But do they know you that that that's

(11:00):
that's step whatever. Oprah knows who Pinky Cole is. Pinky
Cole is in the rooms where people know her name,
Pinky Cole. Pinky Cole does shake hands with people who
are of a high stature. Pinky Cole has a husband
who is who's a handsome boss and he he he Recently,

(11:21):
if you guys have seen Dust and Claudia a Taler
Perry clip that's gone viral where he's on Kirk Franklin's
YouTube show and he's about helping Royan Googler. If you
saw that clip, rain Drops wash a full episode. First
of all, it's an amazing episode. Shout off to Kirk
Franklin and Phil Thorin, the producer. What I want to
say is Pinky's husband is in that episode, So rain

(11:45):
Drops watch it because if they're on the show, you
will fall in love with him.

Speaker 6 (11:52):
Too.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
He is. He's a brilliant mind who has done amazing
things in the business of rest of my tour. And
he's a great father, and he's a good guy who
loves to work, and he has a lot of money.

Speaker 6 (12:06):
Child.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Now moving on to ca Michelle. As you all know,
I worked on season one of Loving Him, Loving Hip
Hopolanta and like Dustin said, when Ky Michelle said shake
the table, and when she unfortunately threw the fork placement
at carly Rid's head, Mimi's old I'm sorry, Claudia and

(12:29):
Mimi's old roommate.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
We were never roommates.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
I like the Claudia.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
So carly Rick who hung out in l A with me,
Claudia back in the baddie days.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
Anyway, Yeah, seven million times dorky posting it.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
Pinky Cola is the founder of Seadi Vegan. He said
it a million times, Pinky co Let's all said, it's
already only counted three one, two, three.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Peak Damn, I thought he said at the top. Okay,
ray Jel's catch up, So Cambri sheell. I had the
pleasure of working with her on season one where she
shook the table. Through the things that carly read, I
had to walk her to the bathroom, and she infamously

(13:23):
said Colos codlos and I said, Kay, calm down. But
I will say this if cay Michelle is a real
housewife of Atlanta. Round of applause, because in my opinion
as a producer, as a person who's worked with her,

(13:44):
Cay Michelle has an amazing work ethic she works. But
on top of that, what I do feel like is
missing from the house with Milanta is somebody that can
read in a funny way too, Because I feel like
the crowd Jewel will always be Niny Leaks right, Claudia

(14:05):
Jordan can read too, right, King you can read. I
feel like those things are missing in a in a
in a comedic way. I think ky Michelle is going
to bring back some non rehearsed reads and will be funny.
And I'm I'm thrilled to see the growth of ky Michelle.
I am still friends with ky Michelle. Well, I will

(14:27):
say to y'all, is this and hear me out And
it's coming from me who knows her. Ky Michelle has
grown into being this very elevated version of Kimberly, And
I'm excited not to see ky Michelle I'm excited to
see Kimberly if she's chosen to be on the show,
because I think for me there is the world of

(14:53):
television is changing, and like Dustin Outline and Claudia Outline
five years ago, I don't think the show will ever
be considered only because it was this mandate. And I
know this personally and professionally, not casting women who are
super popular and of the shows. But I think because
the landscape of television has changed, Dustin is raight. Ky

(15:16):
Michelle is going to bring an Italire fan base to
that show, and I feel like, at the end of
the day, I will always, until the end of time,
want what's best for the real houseworks of Atlanta, and
I think, if the rumors are true that is Cay,
Michelle and Pinky, I think it's a step in the
right direction.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Do you then you know who their friends with any
of the girls on the show. Do you know if
there's thirty relationships there?

Speaker 1 (15:39):
The only thing I know is I know Cam Michelle
and Porsche did the Lifetime movie together with Amber Riley,
so I believe that's their connection. Pinky, Pinky coal Is
she lives in Atlanta, obviously, but she used to live
other places. But Pinky Cole runs the business streets of Atlanta.

(16:00):
She's not involved in the three girl Click group that
in Atlanta. She's not in any of those three groups,
you know, but she knows. Yes. But Pinky is of
course all by herself. She's a she's a she's a
true boss. And don't sleep on Pinky, Pinky.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
We'll get in your ass, okay without without hesitating.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Len about her.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
I've been hearing her name for the long I know her.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
I hear her name in the business realms like Sluttie
vegan doing her thing, killing it for a long time.
I don't know much about her socially, personality wise, so
it's good to hear that these good things about her,
especially she's listen, can no one take come for her money,
her work ethic, and that she's her success and she's
married to someone else that's also got it going on,

(16:51):
like we do need to get back to it being
grand and being like you know, kind of like aspiration,
like damn, i'mont what they have.

Speaker 6 (17:00):
They're gonna love.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Yeah, And she you haven't seen her outside a lot
because she's been pregnant for the past like three years straight.
She had three babies like Stair step children. Recently, like
her babies are young. She was pregnant when we did
the last season on a vote, so that's a big
reason why you might have seen her out so much.
Like on Carpets and Shit, Pinky is out there and

(17:21):
and like Carlo said, her personality, she owns the room
that she sits in every damn time.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
So I think she's actually a great choice for this show.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.
Let's get back into the show. Claudia always, always, always,
always talks about the fact that Claudia loves smart women
who are you will love Pinky, Pinky. Pinky. Pinky and
I try to do some things together and Pinky motivates me,

(17:54):
not not on purpose, just Claudia. She has like this
personality to there. When you leave a conversation with her,
you feel like, damn, I thought I was doing a lot.
I guess I'm not. Like she had that infectious personality,
So listen. If it's true, I think Kimberly, Michelle and
Pinky are the right choices. Now, before we move on,

(18:16):
I do want to ask you all this. My other
friend Joscelyn Hernandez, I'm not happy.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
No, Joscelyne on all rho A. What did the H
stand for?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
No? No, no, no, dustan dustan dust it dust it all.
I will now Joscelyn's defense. Joscelyn did say she's been
wanting to get on the Real Housewives out of Belie's Atlanta.

(18:48):
I will say this, and y'all could throw stones at me.
I would like to see Joscelyn Hernandez from the Real
Housewives of Miami.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
I will put her on Miami now, Miami, see that
I can see Miamiami.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yeah, but the girls in Miami are not.

Speaker 6 (19:03):
Like they They're not Atlanta, not Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
It would be I don't know if she's fit in
with it, like she's a Miami girl, but they'd have
to recast some man the other girls on Miami for her.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
No.

Speaker 6 (19:13):
I actually want to.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
See her out of her element like that, which is
why when Carlos said Miami, I thought, you know what,
hell yeah, because let's put her in there with Elsa
Pippen and I don't even watch Miami, right, but those women,
I got that right, So you definitely know what I
do know though even not as a viewer of the show,
those women are nothing like Joscelyn, her Nandad And I

(19:35):
think in order for her to make sense on a
Housewatch show, it have to be something like that.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
But no, I think she's good where she is. I
think he's a little too Listen. Jocelyn is a beautiful
woman and she's very funny. I cannot take that away
from her. But she's too goddamn violent to be on
a Housewatch show. Okay, Like we keep getting further further
away from the essence of what the Housewatch see when
they used to battle with their words. And I just

(19:59):
think if you put Johnson on there with her temper
and she does not like she does not let nothing
get by her with us when it comes to disrespect.
One little conversation at a dinner, she's gonna be ready
to you think came Michelle was shaking the table, Well,
Johnson's gonna be flipping the table over.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
And that motherfucker's strong as hell, So it's gonna be
a problem. I just don't see.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Like I think she had Zeus and she's actually an
executive produce over there.

Speaker 6 (20:21):
She got a creator, she made a.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Lot of she's making a lot of money over a
lot of money.

Speaker 5 (20:28):
That's funny that comment what they say they said, absolutely
not Deborah Cock's voice. You know that video that means
that's going around forever performer. Absolutely yeah, Housewives. She good
on Zeus. She got a new season. Shout out to
Johce Len's Cabaret, California. Ain't no secret. I watched Zeus

(20:51):
and now that's TV. I don't care.

Speaker 6 (20:53):
That's my story.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
My story looks be paying. Let me get on the
jet and get a chain where you're over there.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Where I chained, letting me.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
I need some I need some veneers and a big
ass chain and a not his bag.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
I need that ship. Are hilarious.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
I'm working this hard. Put me on the jet.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Not like that.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
This is poking up water. By the way, because I've
been working out so much, I have to overly hide
here myself. I'm been doing two days. I'm so I'm in.
I'm working after I got my work ship. I'm working
out right after this.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Go ahead, baby, you look good. You look good. You
look good, you look good. What did not look good
was Shouma's YouTube video. Let's get right into it. Shami okay,
segu Sia, thank you. I've learned from Whoopee showed me.
I'm a waggie. Come to the come to the front
of the class because we're about to have a lesson

(22:00):
and Shamia, I love you down. I love me some.
Shamia milwaankeee and everyone knows that Shamia. I have to
be honest. I was on a flight Sunday and I
saw the trailer to Shamia's YouTube video. I kept changing

(22:21):
my AirPods because the Hallmark music. I'm like, is this
the video? Is the plane? And I suck in the elevator.
I was confused with the somber music. I thought this
did somebody passed away? Like what is going on here?
Because it was giving somber tease. This might to pass
away Like I was like, oh my god, what happened.
I was about to put rip in the comments because

(22:43):
I'm like, what happened to Shamia Milwaukee? She's so sad?
And the Hardmark channel music, I'm like, I know it's Sunday,
but what's going on here? And then I watched a
YouTube video and I said, Shamia, listen to all the
reality girl. I appreciate ninety eight percent of y'all who

(23:05):
do call me, I love you all Happy birthday you are,
So that's saying I love you for that.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Comments anything, don't call the gag guess they will.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
Questions how long have you known that Ky, Michelle and
Pinky was coming to the Housewise, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Anything, right, that's it. I don't know. I don't remember.
But I will say because I'm waiting for the announcement
to come on paperbacks, what I will say is Mia
Shamia Milwagie made a YouTube video where she apologized to

(23:56):
the entire cast of Season sixteen, and it should be
I love you down. I was dazed and confused and
I don't smoke the green stuff. I was like, why
are you apologizing to these women from I watched the show.
I watched all sun twenty weeks of it. But but
dust Claudia, I'm like, you didn't do anything to these

(24:20):
girls to apologize said that I was. I didn't get it.
And then her beautiful mother is praying for her.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
You know, like, who's that other lady? Not her mom?
I don't know who that was the camera the whole time.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
First of all, you're not gonna read the director, but
we should have staid moved camera left, like, angle your
stuff over here, the base ass.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
Off the way and unplug that camera if you're gonna
do anything, because this is crazy, But go ahead.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
You were talking about foreskin and I do these.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
They're talking about for Sorry meal, Claudia. Now I'm gonna
have you answer after this. So Claudia mentioned that one
thing the mother said was we don't care for the
ratchetness and being loud. They're scared. They're scared you're gonna
tell the truth. That's why they're loud. Uh. They're not

(25:18):
intelligent and they're ignorant. I've seen a lot of things
that didn't make sense in my lifetime. This will go
down in the real house spots in Atlanta history of
things I did not get. And Shamiah, I don't know
who advises you to do that, baby, but fire them now,
and I correct commend some people to you.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
Baby.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
You need to. But you, Shamiah, hear me out. You
did not do anything wrong to warn a YouTube video
on the Lord's Day on Yolanda Adam discography. Okay, on
Joseph and Saw ninety one. I didn't understand that, Claudia,
Go hit y'all.

Speaker 6 (25:58):
I'm confused.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
We okay. He disclaimer.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
We all like Shamia, we all, we all hate this
for her. She started out out the gate like compare
this to the hundred, the four hundred meter dash. Okay,
the first hundred meters of the race, she's out, she's
leading the pack.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
She's Shikari Richardson on them.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Okay, second hundred she's like, okay, she still got time
in the race. Third leg seed some hoes and training
came up short, and the fourth the fourth one hundred.
In track and field, it's called halving the monkey on
your back, right, it means like you would start off
so good and like you you came out blazing, and
then you had left, had nothing left in the tank.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
The final one hundred meters and you got weight on
you and it's holding you back. The video, I don't
know who told you to do that. No, no, this
is why she did a video.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
In my mind, Samia is very very very very affected
by the comments. She's very affected by the comments, and
she's flailing. She doesn't know what to do. She thought
the the Drew thing with the bag that was gonna
be a gotcha moment. It didn't work. She thought that
something else to work nothing's working, so she's kind of
grasping out straws to try to like And I think

(27:09):
when she felt like nothing's working, they all hate me. Listen,
if we see the feedback, then the negativity online she
sees at times one hundred and adds a new housewife
and always having the luxury of being a friend of
so you're not really under scrutiny like that. And she
was also very likable as a friend of the show,
and we didn't really get to clear that much, but
now we get to really like me a Shamia Shamia.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
I think she's cracking, and I understand what that feels
like when you feel like the world hates you.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
She probably looks at everything online and she probably just
was like, no, nothing I do is working, So I'm
just going to apologize. But that video, I think everything
she does is worse. It's making it worse for her,
and then she's gonna get more criticism. And I feel
bad for her actually, because this is the actions of
someone that's out of desperation to kind of regain some

(27:59):
of the that she had in the early part of
the season, like damn that back and nothing's working, and
and I feel bad for her. That's I think that's
what that is. She's out, She's not in her right
mind right now with that, because the confident bold woman.
We saw the first couple of episodes that woman in
that video with that somber music and the weird angle

(28:20):
and talking about foreskin.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
What was the fourth skin about? Because I was I
was in mid air and when I got service, I
was watching Jocelyn's cabaret.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Go Ahead, something about cutting the bad and the waste
out of your life, like cutting the foreskin off one's penis,
like the unnecessary skin. It was a weird metaphor, and
I wanted it, just like when I'm watching gymnastics and.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
I'm watching.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
That, I want to I want to see them stick
the landing. I want to see them stick the landing.
And it was like, what's so girl the Olympian, I'm
having a like when we see to me and she's running,
she running, she running to kick the vault. Both are
ass we want her to stick the landing. But the

(29:08):
foreskin fucked it up. The forecing fucked up the landing.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
And you know what, the foreskin wasn't even out of
your mouth. It was out of your auntie's mouth. And
whoever that lady Paul.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Doctor Forrest got the mouth. Child, Lord Jesus, what happened today?

Speaker 2 (29:28):
And it wasn't even to me as fault, but she
was a she's in the scene and you could tell.
I feel like in the scene she realized, fuck, this
is not working out either.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
But she's why why er, why Eric to have anything
right on her YouTube channel? Let me tek out something
that's out of me to not have you say your
your opinion. I gotta get this out. Why Eric, That's
the reason why I always tell people this Number one.
Claudia is right, you don't read the comments. But again, listen,

(29:59):
you can say that. Unfortunately they will. I get it. Bye,
move on. But you're not supposed to. Fine, fine, fine,
move you have editing rights of your own YouTube. I
will have some who's around you to say this baby that,
Now that's it. Baby, you did I would have said
if she would have said to me Carlos with me
a favor, I would have been like, yes, what can

(30:21):
you look at this?

Speaker 6 (30:22):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
I would have say, digness at the backyard. Now this
should never see the light of day. I don't understand
who encouraged her to do that, because she did not
need to do it, and laugh and not least, and
Dustin please finish, laugh and not least. I think Shemiah

(30:43):
is a prime example. She's not the only, and she
won't be the and she won't be the last or
the first whatever. When you when you believe the hind
And that's why I always tell these girls, you could
be the fan favorite today and they're gonna hate you
by Wednesday because you're only as good as your last episode.
And I agree with Claudia. I feel bad for Shamia.

(31:05):
I love Samiyah. Shami in real life has the heart
of gold. But that YouTube was copper and still.

Speaker 6 (31:13):
Oh not copper.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Well they copper is good in pipe there.

Speaker 6 (31:17):
People steal it my houses.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
One time they took my whole to.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Replace that foreskin, okay, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Of the show was coming in hot with your outside.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
I think that it's a couple of things that play
here right Number one, Before I even get started, I
want to say that I think that there is still
room for Shamia to be successful as a housewife on
this cast.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
I by no means think that it's over for Shamilla
or Shamia fail. That needs to go. I'm not playing
into any of that.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
But there were some issues with Damn Sure, her reunion
performance and some things that we saw in the season
as well. Number One one, we have to look at
who Shamia is, Right, Shami is a PK. She's a
preacher's kid that comes from money in Atlanta, that her
parents still let her go and be social. She wasn't
sheltered and not allowed to go hang out with kids

(32:13):
that weren't like her. Right, So Sami is that girl.
Think about who that girl was growing up and who
that girl became as an adult. Right, especially when you
added elements of like celebrity fame, celebrity friends, you know,
a television show, all those elements, there's a performative dynamic, right,
that exists there where she's being performative.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
Add in the fans.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
Anybody that's a real housewife knows you're going to be
slammed by fan commentary and opinions, Right, Sami is a
person who is affected by that.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
You do need to interview her collos.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
But but Shami is a person who's obviously affected by opinions.
Where Shamiah fucked up is that she played to the
fans the entire damn seats and she played to the fans,
and she played to Porsche, And those were the problems
with her the entire season. When Shamia is authentic, when
she's being herself, when she's confident, like Claudia mentioned, like
she was in that first room, I mean in that

(33:16):
first episode when they were in that conversation room on
her second floor and Porsche was checking Drew. That was
a different Smiah that we saw in that scene asking questions.
Even her body posture was different. She was sunk down
solo in that reunion couch the whole damn time. She
was sulking and sad. She wasn't sitting up and poised
and composed like we've seen her be, literally looking regal

(33:38):
and queen. Like you know what I'm saying, that ain't
what we got at that reunion. Porscha was dribbling her
through her legs like a basketball the entire reunion, Samia,
you know what Shamiah needs to do. Shamiah needs to
start going first. Go first, Shamia. Stop putting yourself in
a position where you're always having to explain yourself or

(33:59):
respond into something, or what you you can say or
what you say can now be measured against the original
mark of what someone else said. Start going first, Shamiah,
put your opinions out there first, and make these other.

Speaker 6 (34:11):
Ladies explain themselves.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
Always on defense, Claudia, she needs to get on the
offense more right. Number two, she needs to stop giving
a fuck about what the fans have to say on
that show.

Speaker 6 (34:24):
That is, there's no way you can win that battle.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
Like much like you just suggested, Carlos, and like you
said off that, Claudia, authenticity is the only way to go.

Speaker 6 (34:34):
Be yourself, Shamia. We like you when you're yourself.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Another thing, the conflict element Samiah doesn't even have to exist,
and that she was seeking out opportunities and failing each
time to enter in conflict with these ladies. Prime example
that Judith Leeber accusation against Drew. It looks so silly,
It looks so id. Ignore that, but it looks so silly,
you know what I'm saying. When she pulled that bag

(34:58):
out and said that the purse was fake and nobody cared.
It didn't land right, Like.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
Stop doing that kind of shit and just start calling
it what it is.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
If she has set on that reunion couch and said
today Porsche is the day that we're gonna get to
the bottom of.

Speaker 6 (35:12):
All of this.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
You done talked about my damn mama, I've kept your
secrets for all these years, and me and your friend
and today is our day. So that clarity, that truth
you're talking about looking forward, every lady, I'm gonna give
it to you and just win in her motherfucking bag
and started.

Speaker 6 (35:26):
Going there with truth.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
The thing is, when you really lean into what it
is or what the reality of a situation, you don't
have to look for a gotcha moment. You don't have
to look for an angle or an approach. You just
tell the fucking truth and stand on the things that
you are absolute in, which is your feelings, your emotions,
and the actual timeline of facts. All that lions sneaking
in alliances, I don't know why they all thought it

(35:50):
was cool to sit on the stage and say they
have formed an alliance behind the scenes. Yeah, that is
not attractive, you know what I'm saying. That doesn't make you,
ladies look smart or good or whatever. I don't care
who said the mama thing first.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
We don't care.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
About that part, and people getting caught up in that
are the problem. Let's get to the basics, we have
a problem in our relationship.

Speaker 6 (36:11):
Here's what's wrong. It's not about who did it.

Speaker 5 (36:14):
First, Lean into the realities of the relationship, and then
we'll be compelled by authentic emotion, real reactions off the
dome quote unquote reads or whatever y'all are looking.

Speaker 6 (36:26):
For, and it'll be good. That's just where Shamia fumbled.

Speaker 5 (36:29):
I think she can definitely course correct and be a
different housewife next season.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
Now you ask who was advising.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Her to put that video out, Shemia advised herself to
put that video out. If you think back to her
showcase right with that they showed during the season where
she showcased her music.

Speaker 6 (36:48):
There were so many elements that she could tell.

Speaker 5 (36:51):
She was determined to have the big letters with her name,
the production elements, the sparks and the lights and all
these dancers, and some of her outfit the wardrobe choices
you could tell were really intentional, but there wasn't a
focus on the meat and potatoes of.

Speaker 6 (37:05):
It, which was the vocals, which was the notes. She
was just in the moment of the performance.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
And that's what happens when you have unlimited access to
resources and you are the autpha in all of your
friendship and family groups. Nobody's really telling. You know, Shemiah
does whatever she wants to do. She buys what she
wants to buy. She doesn't give a damn about trend.
That's what she wants to wear. She's got it and
she does it, and that's it. That's why she said

(37:31):
and sang for the first what ten minutes of the video,
just singing.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (37:36):
At the beginning of the video, she thought there's a
corny element, right, that exists in Shemia's presentation that can
actually work and be charming.

Speaker 6 (37:46):
On a house right. The corniness is not really to
her detriment, but it's definitely there.

Speaker 5 (37:52):
And that singing all the damn time, the prayers, the
laying it on thick of the performative elements of a PK.
We could just see right through it and it is.
It definitely detracts, you know what I'm saying. But I
think she can bring it back around.

Speaker 6 (38:06):
Candy Burry's Tucker, who we know is a masterful housewife. Right.

Speaker 5 (38:10):
She just went on her I believe she was doing
an Amazon life yesterday or today, and she said that
she had gone to see Shamia the day prior to
her feeling that Candy's live or whatever. She was saying,
you know, I just saw Samia yesterday. I went to
see her and she said. I gave her some advice.
I told her, you know, you don't need the show,
so if you're not happy, you don't have to be
on that show. You can live your beautiful life or

(38:32):
whatever she said. But if you decide to go back
and do it, you need to be authentic and not
give a damn. You're gonna have to let your guards
down and just like play, you don't have to really
get in there. And so Candy gave her some good advice.

Speaker 6 (38:43):
We'll see if you don't.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
No, I know you didn't get this.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
If you're not authentic, you're gonna be finding yourself half
assed in these battles and you're gonna lose every time,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
Like, if this principle is about things, like you.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Stand on things on principal, you can fight for them
and come on very real because it's ingrained in you,
you know what I mean, Like you feel strongly about
this because this is how you were raised. But if
you're like thinking like okay, and this scene I'm doing this,
and this scene, I'm doing that. You know, my most
epic scene on the Housewives is because I was standing
up for the Demetria being my other women, and in

(39:19):
my real life I would exactly do that in real life.
Why on this girl for no reason? She did nothing
page she didn't even know, Like, why y'all, why you
bothered her? She did nothing to anybody? So I made
it my thing, but it came off authentic because it
was I think with Shemiah, she was kind of carrying
Porscha's water with one foot in the friendship and one

(39:41):
foot out. So that's why I didn't really read as
well like if she was always down with Porsche, Nope,
you ain't about to say nothing about my friend around me,
and I'm not going to have any conversations about her
when she's not around, And whether you liked it or not,
you'd be like, all right, well she's we know where
she stands. I think she as the season went on,
her friendship became started to deteriorate, and she was kind

(40:03):
of in and kind about and that could be perceived
as being wishy, washy, sneaky or a liar, but we
were witnessing and live in television, the demise of a
friendship and what you know there is nuance, you know,
you know avernight just be like I'm doing with you.
There's a bunch of little things that happened along the way,
and that we never got to see her. Like you said, Dustin, say, look,

(40:25):
we're about to stop all this shit. I may have
not spoken up for the last nineteen years or twenty years,
but that stopped today. Everyone would have been sharing for her,
but I think her it's still the little girl that's like,
I'm mad at her, but I don't want to all
the way go there. So it came off fucked up
for her. You know, it would have been better burned
the whole shit down.

Speaker 6 (40:45):
All this.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Yeah, as we sort of transitioned into part three of
the reunion, it did open up with this story about
what happened between Shemia, Shamia's mother and mother. Porsia did
say that Miss Diane used to own a childcare center

(41:08):
and it got into foreclosure, and Shamiah's mother alleged I'm
saying alleged because I wasn't there, allegedly bought it from
underneath Miss Diane's knows when Diane and Shamilla's mom were
best friends. Okay, and Porscha said that Miss Diane found

(41:29):
out because she drove past the old daycare center and
she saw Shamia's mother sign on it. Shamia, in my opinion,
had ample opportunity to to spell it. She said, that's
not true. You know the real truth. Porscha, what's the
real truth? Andy Colemen, what's the real truth? Angela Ukley,

(41:50):
what's the real truth? And sham decided, no, if I
say it, it's going to be bad.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
I think it's some darkness with that story. Do y'all
remember years ago? Ah, I don't know how much to
say about that.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Well, it's don't say the baker.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Walk on Google.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
There're some things that happened at a nurse, a daycare
center that was in that family, So maybe there was
some sensitive things.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
That's why Shamia can't fully come to battle.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Well, well, the thing, but I think I think that
I think whatever it is right, I think to us
it's point for Claudia and Clauda you even said it
five minutes ago. You can't have one foot out at
one foot end right, so you can't if if if
I'm sent across from your Claudia, I mean, you have
been and you're saying something to me that I know

(42:43):
isn't true. I'm gonna just sit there and be like, Claudia,
you got that. It's all good habit. Similarly, listen similarly
to when Porsche was asked by Andy, did Shemiah set
up you and Simon? And it was a big pause

(43:03):
and Portia said, Andy, it's okay. I'll take the blame
for everything.

Speaker 6 (43:08):
It was all me.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
That's it. Move on right. Not well, so I agree
with dust In the sense of you either go blow
the house down or keep the secret to your chest.
But you can't give both because unfortunately for Shamia, it
does appear that you're afraid of her. That's how it

(43:31):
comes across to the audience. Do you agree with that, Dustin?

Speaker 6 (43:35):
And we're sick of that want. We wanted to champion Shamiya.

Speaker 5 (43:39):
We were happy for her to go from a friend
of the show and we were interested in her in
that capacity to not being a full time housewife with
all that damn money, beautiful black children running around that damn.

Speaker 6 (43:49):
Big ass house.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
We were happy to see that, but her getting on
their acting feeble and acting like well, I'm being the
drum behind the scenes, but when it's time to really
go there in personal, I'm gonna say it. But if
I say that, I'm not gonna say that because that's
don't really take it there. That does not translate well
to people who are trying to get to the bottom
of something and figure out answers right and have to
make determinations. So to me, there's always an opportunity there

(44:12):
to just keep it real, and I wish you would
just do that so we can champion her again.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
She is going against someone who's very beloved in the
Housewives franchise, which is Portia, who definitely gets coddles, who
definitely gets preferential treatment in a lot of areas, especially
Andy loves her. She's going up against a force. And
someone said in the comments, isn't to me a damned
that she do? Damned if you don't, kind of, But

(44:37):
it's your job to try your best to kind of
find your lane no matter what.

Speaker 6 (44:41):
You know, like you did when you went up against
Niini Leeks the biggest housewife of all time. That's why
I don't buy that, but she don't.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
I had no emotional connection to Nini.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
If me and my best friend that we've been having
some trouble lately, how to fight it be. I would
imagine it'd be a lot different than Nini. Was easy
for me because I wasn't I didn't care, I didn't
love her, I didn't have a friendship with her like that.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
We met years ago. She had me to do this
hosting for her. We were cool. She followed me on Instagram, Twitter,
and we was cool.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
So when she started saying, oh, you have a brain,
it was easy for me to pop off on her
because I didn't give a fuck if I heard our
films or not. But if me and Chancey or me
and also or me and you know, Annie got into
it after all the history, it would be extremely difficult
because I'd be like, Ooh, I fucking hate that you're
doing that, and I don't want to burn this down

(45:35):
because that would mean there'd be no hope ever for
us to ever reconcile. So I feel like when it's
a real friend, it's a little bit more comfortable, and
it's easy for us to sit there and be like, Shemia,
you look we But if you think about it, if
you're a mindful person.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
And you actually there's still some feelings there. And I
think to Porsche as well, I bet you this stuff
about Shemia Porche could say blow the host spot up.
You can tell they were both not all going on.
They still this is a new space is going to
be in this negative like they've had fights.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
But but that's why No.

Speaker 5 (46:09):
All I was gonna say is I think I'm glad
we got that ship off the way then this season
in this reunion, because as we can see the next
day after the reunion there, Porscha loaded that clip and
let the chopper sing on Instagram and took it all
the way there, and we saw how smiir responded when
she told her she could keep her fake as friendship.
So thankfully, I think that this was I think you're right, Claudia,

(46:30):
this was a new territory for Porscha and Shmi as friends, right,
And I think we witnessed in real time them kind
of both dipping their toe in the water and kind.

Speaker 6 (46:39):
Of seeing what was up.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
But from what we saw the next day on Instagram,
I think season seventeen will look a little bit different
between those two ladies.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
And I hope that Shmiah is not one of the
girls that are getting rid of to make room for
these new ros, because I think the first season was
smid is putting the tip in she could not be
her authenticself and she cuts.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
Sorry sports analogies and like sex things.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
That person.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Got it now went to anatomy and stuff like. I
think to me, it can't be her full self, a
true housewife until she cut the umbilical cord with Now
that they burn the ship down, I think it would
be a huge mistake if they get rid of Shmia
now because now they got something cooking.

Speaker 6 (47:30):
I don't think she's going anywhere.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Yeah, I don't think. I don't think now we were
to fix this.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Now the steaks now, yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
I think. Listen, I think Samia's job is very very,
very very secure for another season. My advice to you,
should me, is then I'm gonna give it to you
free from the world, because I want to go on
records saying I help all the girls too, but I
will because that's the that's the two I am. What
I will say is this, Okay, Shemiah, you are beautiful

(48:05):
inside and out. You are a wonderful mother, You are
a wonderful wife, daughter, sister, auntie, and friend Shemiah has
this inspectious personality, and I would like to say this.
I will like for everybody to listen to a Claudia saying,

(48:28):
which is, look, Claudia is the only person on this
panel that can speak to what it's like to be
a first time housewife, a first season housewife, because you
are entering a space that is already established. I can
only imagine what that feels like for Shemiah. Yeah, Shemia's
friends with somebody, but when you are entering a space

(48:48):
that's unfamiliar and you are reading the comments. Because Shamid
did the YouTube video and that's when I was like,
I don't want you mean to do this anymore. Shamia
did a YouTube video the second an episode Claudia and
Dustine where she recorded herself going to the airport in
Atlanta and she purposefully walked walked through the terminal because

(49:11):
she wanted to be recognized.

Speaker 6 (49:13):
And I didn't.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
I didn't, I didn't. What I took from that was,
of course she's happy, But also took from that, like,
if I could give her and anybody advice is just
don't get caught up in all of that. Live your
life and go home and and be a great wife
to your husband. And secondly, Shmia, what I will say
for you free advice taking if you want to or not.

(49:36):
I agree with Claudia and Dustin. Either you're gonna protect
the secrets of the friendship, which I respect and love
on some real shit, or you're gonna blow the house down.
But I think you always have to think about the audience.
The audience is only able to retain one or the other,

(49:59):
you out of the villain or the victim. But you
can't be both. And I'm not saying you're I'm not
saying you one of the other Smia. What I'm saying
is that that YouTube video definitely gave victim teeth where
you didn't have to do that. So moving forward, I
just want you Amia to focus on being herself. She's
beautiful inside and now she's a fun girl. I'm doing

(50:19):
Dustin like, I don't want you to read Shamia how
fun like Like I'm skipping to the end. I like
that portray say Shamia always starts to dance, Skip up,
Shedia and start to didn't like.

Speaker 6 (50:30):
You, but you know I hated that Shamia actually started dancing.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Well was I was living to play on a solidarity.
I said college the whole point. I don't like the
end of it, but I did like it, but Dustin didn't.
We'll get to that later. But what I will say,
Claudia Dustin, because I said this to y'all for twenty weeks.

(50:56):
It was revealed in part three that there are in groups, right,
so Porscha said that they have a private friend group
and that two girls from this private friend group were
told information about whether or not Shamiah felt that Porsia

(51:17):
wanted her on the show and vice versa. Porsche did
ask Ambia the spot, did I now want her on
the show? He said yes, she did. Once again, Shamiyah
was unable to provide, receive and call out name that
could have bleeded in terms of I was told by
so and so, you didn't she didn't do that. So
once again I felt that it did not look great

(51:40):
for Shemiah.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
She's not willing to go there. She wasn't willing to
go like, you know what.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
It was scary to have the courage to do that
and blow it all up and say, you know what,
I'm sick of the shit.

Speaker 3 (51:52):
It was Tracy that told me that, okay, and then
let the chip fold.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
And made when they get back in their real life
and I see people saying, oh no, this was filming
a year ago.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
She wasn't playing to the comments. We know, not during
the season of actually filming.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
We're meaning in the YouTube video that you just put
up the other day, and the reunion that was a
film a couple of weeks ago, a month ago. That's
what we're talking about. Everybody. Yeah, welcome to my ted talk. Okay, damn,
we know not during the season, but after, like the reunion.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
By the reunion, she.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
Was done, right Audie that we have over six six thousand,
two hundred people here, so don't mind the well person,
thank you for six people showing up on Tuesdays.

Speaker 5 (52:39):
Go ahead, dust I ain't got sure else to say, man,
I just wanted to me to get a backbone.

Speaker 6 (52:44):
Quit all that damn lying and talking behind the scenes.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
Start tearing these people's asses up in front of their faces,
and also just live rich, take care of her beautiful
family expanded, convince her husband to film some more you
know what I'm saying in and let us get into
that like their family scenes and he honestly and real talk.

Speaker 6 (53:04):
Smia's husband should have been at the reunion. You didn't.

Speaker 5 (53:07):
You didn't, You didn't film all season long. You should
have been at that. He should have been at supporting her.

Speaker 6 (53:12):
He should have.

Speaker 5 (53:17):
I feel that way, Claudia, And I mean, come on,
her husband. Yeah, Claudia, I think my girl is frozen.
It's just a good ass shot of it.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
Okay, your gorgeous Claudia.

Speaker 6 (53:28):
Claudia would freeze on such a good shot, right.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
She my nerves? Oh, beauty clean ass like my be like, yeah, man,
my loud.

Speaker 6 (53:40):
Ass neighbor on my freeze.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Wait, that's that, Claudia, Claudia, am I am? I boring
you right now.

Speaker 6 (53:54):
With some jeans that laced up under your ass sheets
like the one should be you had on.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Yes, says God.

Speaker 5 (54:05):
I feel like even in that scene her imports sit
down at that restaurant, Shemiah should have just delivered right then.

Speaker 6 (54:12):
She should have laid it all out. That's what you're
there for. This is not for you all to make up,
put a band aid on things and get up and
do that, laugh about.

Speaker 5 (54:19):
It and all that other shit. No, just talk shit
like say what you gotta say. And back to Samiyah.
Her husband should have been at that reunion. Jerald should
have been at that reunion one.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
He should have Listen, I'm all about a support of husband.
I understand that a lot of husbands don't want to
be famous, and I respect that. Of course, I strongly
believe this. You have to give me something why Dixon

(54:51):
showed up to a reunion before, Like, let's have Michael
Darby showed up to reunion. And the reason why I'm
naming those two men is because those two me men
were involved in some very controversial moments on the show.
Whether or not they showed up that reunion of the
season where those controversial make sure up. Anyway, Samia, my

(55:12):
last advice for you, and I don't know what you're
gonna have to do to do this, Shamia, I need
to see your husband film it is. It's it's something
that I need to see. But I will say this.
I will say this. I do understand that, Okay, Jena
Alliance or New York Housewives, don't show her girlfriend. But

(55:35):
I will also challenge y'all by saying, and that has
been a pause for a few months, child because the audience,
Claudia is back.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
I'm so sorry, I'm so sick.

Speaker 6 (55:44):
Good Yes, okay, okay, okay, I.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
Spent so much money to get the freaking fiber optic
and I'm still oh real, real quick.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
I know.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
I don't know if I'm interrupting, but I need Gerald
to support his wife on this show, even if it
goes against what he likes, because she seems so sad,
like when Charles made that comment where y'all husband's at
and Tramia is in a perfectly fine marriage. Gerald, that
may not be your thing, but that is your wife,
and she would probably it looks she would get a

(56:14):
little bit more confident. The girls that have that man
behind them, they could be like Papa y'all said, it
ain't that right, baby high five. I remember when Needy
and Greg I think they have a lot or something
that shows like your man got your back him not
being there knowing you're going into a hostile territory like that.
Gerald's I love y'all's relationship, but I don't love this

(56:34):
part even if it irritates you.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
I'm sure there's things that she does as a wife
that she may not love.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
She's having babies for I mean, it's for her too,
but she and I'm only saying it because because of
what she said on the show, Clauda Like Clauda, she said,
my husband wants I believe I don't want to miss quote,
but I believe doesn't I'm if I'm right, he wants
to stop right.

Speaker 5 (56:58):
Yeah, okay, I heard him say that, but I've heard
Samiya say it to MEA said it, so claud It
go ahead.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Yeah, I mean even if it's like, okay, I understand.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Maybe hey listen, I'll only give you a couple of
days during the season, but I'll be there for the
reunion because, like it's so and that's such an important
part of your's Atlanta Housewives. There are a few of
us girls that go on there that don't have husbands,
and there was this season the majority of the girls
that have husbands, but you being one of the only
two that did have a husband and he wasn't there,
I felt so bad for her, Like I know she

(57:28):
was like, damn, I wish my husband was here, and
I wish she would just like I think she would
have maybe done a little better too, having her man
to kind of back some of the stuff up.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
Yeah, yes, yes, yeah, So Shamia, you and Shaniya, you
have a lot of you have a lot of room
to work with on this show. And this is honestly
advice on three people who love you. And look, I think, listen.
I know that Gerald never wanted to do the show ever,

(57:59):
and I know that you guys obviously spoke because I
watched herself. I saw Samia going to Jerrold's office to
like breaking food, and I gotta be honest with you, guys.
I loved watching it because for me, when you are
a housewife on her let me stop. When you are
a reality star on a show and you are around

(58:23):
a bunch of girls, there is something nice about seeing
a reality star female go home on her man and
you see a different side of her, how she just
is at home with her kids or with her man.
And I think because The Atlanta Housewives was cemented as

(58:43):
the greatest one of all time is because of Greg Leaks.
It's because of these men, Peter Thomas, Apollo like, these
men showed up for their wives. And I would have
preferred to mea some real shit. I don't care if
Jill said nothing but high and by it's the it's
the sheer presence of support that I don't care what

(59:06):
y'all girl said. My man has my back, and unfortunately
that didn't happen. Okay, so I want to also get
into the man coming onto the stage. Charles was on fire.
I love Charles. I really wish, I really, I really

(59:26):
wish Charles and Angelo were on the older seasons because
to see Charles mcgreg and Peter, it would have been
like fantastic television. Can you imagine Charles and Peter.

Speaker 6 (59:37):
What they would have twittered screened up?

Speaker 2 (59:39):
Man, I would gerald do some scenes with Charles this season.
They could have done that manly thing over there, then
manly boss.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
Thing, but yeah, they would have. She would have fit right.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
I mean, I'm not even mad at a Charles and
Angela spinoff because they got personality for it. I like
their relationship and I love that they show a different
kind of love. It's not like USh mushy, fake fake,
you know what I mean. But it's like that that
kind of love exists, and it doesn't mean it's less
real that that out all like what you usually think
a loving husband is.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
He's like, I'm here, I love my wife. I got
her back.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
So yeah, I may not be saying all the mushy shit,
and I may have a little attitude with her sometimes,
but at the end of the day, he was the
only present husband there.

Speaker 5 (01:00:19):
Mind you, there are Charles and Angela are on holiday
right now in Europe. Just about two days ago she
was walking the children through London. Today they were in
the Biza in a cabana at pool side. Charles was
smoking a cigar and Angela city saying Charles, and he
looked up at the camera and hit that puff that cigar.

Speaker 6 (01:00:39):
I spoke. He had personality, he was happy. They're doing
just fine. You know what I'm saying. They doing just
he was checking everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
You didn't meet me, you see me?

Speaker 6 (01:00:48):
There's at the same place, and I'm glad he did.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Yeah. You know, it was funny because what was funny
about it is the fact that nobody argued with about it,
because that that is true. You could be the same
room with people, but you don't really know them. You've
been around them. And I think Charles has got tired
of his name being used for Cloud all season long.

(01:01:14):
My favorite part, because I like the O G shit,
was when Scharay's name was mentioned and the fact that
Charles said out of his own mouth as carefully as
he did. Yeah, I mean we won't trip together. I mean,
y'all need something. I mean what was at Dubai and
he nade multiple places they went to. So I think

(01:01:38):
for me, just me being honest, it appeared that Charay
was not just somebody that he had dealing with. That.

Speaker 5 (01:01:48):
No, she wasn't a flash in the pan. He definitely
honored their relationship and said that it was a multi
year committed relationship. They will see if they traveled the
world together, and they did. They thing Angela being the
real one she is. Angela was like yeah, she was like,
you know, that's not I think that she's moved on.

Speaker 6 (01:02:07):
He's moved on.

Speaker 5 (01:02:07):
I don't think she wants him. I don't think he
wants her. Like she's not a woman I worry about
like that real real, Like you know, I.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Loved that when Charles was there, none of them birds
kept the same energy they had when he wasn't around.

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Oh I know about Charles. I know your husband.

Speaker 6 (01:02:23):
Oh I'm a fire.

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
No one they was.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
None of them was out of pocket to his faith.
But when she was by herself, that's why it's important
when the man shows up for you. When he was there,
like now what, no one talked any of that shit.
You didn't hear nothing about none of that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
They was talking.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
And I loved that because they all had a lot
to say about him. When when when he wasn't there,
and I loved it. He gathered Phaedria sodamn good. Oh,
I love that he loved it. He kind of gathered
me a little bit too. But yeah, he was like, oh, y'all,
that's what happened.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
You better because that should be annoying, right people. I'm
sure y'all get it too.

Speaker 6 (01:03:04):
Oh we dated?

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
Oh, I dated Dustin, I dated Carlos, I slept with Claudia.
We was at the same party, right, you came at
one of my house parties.

Speaker 6 (01:03:13):
Nigga, you don't know me, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
Me?

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
Get out of here with that lies lies.

Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
Yeah, I hate that ship I always yeah, right and
ego to do that, you know what I'm saying, Like,
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:03:27):
I just never wanted to. Y'all know we blue friends
for years.

Speaker 5 (01:03:29):
I ain't never been running y'all's name through the streets
to like never, I don't do that.

Speaker 6 (01:03:35):
I just I've never I don't know how people do that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
I just don't get maybe lying, oh maybe listen this.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
I'm not shating Atlanta. It's a very Atlanta thing. I'm
just being honest. I'm being honest because of Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (01:03:46):
That's that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
That is what happens, Just like what happens is women
going to their you know, their new lovers children's school
like raps Lady friends on Dreo Claudia. You clearly want
to say something, baby, go ahead, booth, Ralph, knock it off.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
You're doing too much. Like I hated you in the reunion.
Then you came around and I felt like you was
a master manipulator. In that scene.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
You was saying the things that you were supposed to
say so we could be like, oh, he wants to
be the first family. But that wasn't the energy you
started off with in the in the reunion. The reunion,
first you was like pop pop pop.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
You told me that Dennis was trying to hit it.
He was trying to bring chaos to her life in
the reunion and all that to say, but in the
end we're co parenting.

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
That was fake.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
That was a p R answer Listen. I done lost
plenty of beauty pageants. I won the one that counts,
but I lost enough. Mounty pageant answer, and Ralph, you
was giving us beauty pageant answer like you was preparing
for a pageant. They said, Okay, at the end, you
started off not like that, and in the end you
gave a politically correct answer you're supposed to. And at

(01:04:59):
the end, I just wanted to say, after all that chaos,
I would have told you to go fuck yourself if
that was me. But Drew was a lot nicer than
I am. That's why I got no husband, I guess.
But anyways, that's neither here nor there. But I just
felt like the way he never like you can be
exits with someone like look at how Dennis and Porsche are, Right,
he gets his little jokes in and stuff, and he's

(01:05:22):
not simping behind her, but he don't let her go
out bad on the show, you know what I'm saying.
Not that I've seen, I don't think he like lets
her go all bad, like he don't be going with
the fake shit, but he don't like doing going out
of his way.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
Ralph. It seems like he goes out of his way.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
To embarrass Drew, only to come around the end and
say a pageant answer like it's all good once it
ain't good.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
It ain't good for me. I'm sorry, I hold a grudge.

Speaker 6 (01:05:46):
I'm sorry. I'm with Claudia on that one.

Speaker 5 (01:05:48):
I actually wish they would have said Ralph behind Drew
so we could have seen her turning around like roomy
at that concert. But but that that guy, that goddamn
that goddamn real. He came to star chass just like

(01:06:09):
Claudia said, That's why he was there. He definitely wanted
the attention in the camera time he got it. One
thing about it. We know that him and you are
going to have some sort of dialogue that's going to
be a good volley to watch back and forth.

Speaker 6 (01:06:22):
I think that's why he was there. And and Drew
allowed him to be there.

Speaker 5 (01:06:26):
Let's be clear about that, because you could have blocked that.
But she allowed him to be there. So I think
we should just enjoy the show when it comes to
them too.

Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
And that did you enjoy his song? Dustin?

Speaker 6 (01:06:37):
No, I didn't listen to his song?

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Okay, Claudia, did you play it as you were jogging
in your neighborhood?

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
Is he a singer?

Speaker 6 (01:06:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
He sings, and I'm a rapper. Okay, see murder.

Speaker 6 (01:06:54):
Braid here you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
Have no shame, but does have a nice voice.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
Yeah, yeah, listen, I heard a snippet of it. He
does have a nice voice. I haven't listen his. I
haven't heard this song in its entirety. You know, you
be on on Instagram, you be scrolling and it pops
up at the sound beyond and.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
You like okay, and then you well, you didn't go
to download it from I from iTunes afterwards, so you
were moves.

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
For you what you do, Carlos, and then we keep.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Listen. I support everybody. So Ralph, Ralph, you are more
than welcome to come on Monday Night Live.

Speaker 6 (01:07:39):
Come on here, Real, we should talk to Ralph on
Monday Night Live. Come on here.

Speaker 5 (01:07:45):
Let's talk to real on here on Monday Night Live.
I think I want, Yeah, let's talk to real.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
A great conversation, Claude. What you think the rain drops?
Rain drop? Do y'all want Raph to come on Monday that?
I yes, Ralph, if you're listening, let us know if
you would like to come up to promote your new single.

(01:08:12):
Claudia will be here as well.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
And because I don't have.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
I have a little bit of tourettes, you guys, and
I'm trying to be a better person. All these blessings
been coming upon me right.

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
Better.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
Like I showed great restraint earlier when the daycare talk,
I could have said something I did not.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
I did not thank you for that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
I'm still like you know what I'm saying. I'm like
I knew, I found out that confidence. Can't say that
I'm trying to be a better person. Y'all behave as a.

Speaker 2 (01:08:48):
Performer, I may as a former journalist, Hello, Claudia, which
originally came from me at the reunion season seven. Uh,
Carlos has totally hijacked it and attributed. He plagiarized it
and gave it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
But that's fine. It's actually it's funnier. But be clear
the origin of that statement seven.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
And also if you need for the proof, you can
also look up the Providence American newspaper nineteen ninety five
when I was a journalist at the Millionaire March and
Ray Borscha and I had the front page story of
the Providence American General covering the Minimus as a formers, Someone's.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
Gonna get mad. She's mad, she's a hater, she can't
get clensed. All jokes.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
No, but I will say that I want to say
thank you to the rain drops, thank you to Klaudie
and Dustin. We are ending our recap of the Real
Housewives of Atlanta. Great season. Shout up to the cast
and the crew we've had. We've had twenty weeks of
pure organic fun. I thank you all for watching it.

(01:09:59):
It means the world to me. But don't don't don't fret.
We will be back next Monday. Reality with the King
is executive produced by me Carlos King, produced by Lizzie Nimitz,
and a partnership with the Lack Effect Network. You can
