- [02:47]
B
I would like to announce that I'm very happy. I'm very excited. I'm announcing that I'm excited for our cabaret. And I'm excited because this week's episode of Atlanta was so funny to me. And last week, I was really scared because it. To me, it was, like, most of it was really bad, and then it got really good at the end, and I was like, fingers crossed. Let's, like, please hope that they just needed to put in a filler episode. And we're back to, like, the upward trajectory of the season. And it's true. It was. It was great. It was so funny. I loved this episode of Atlanta. I was like. I felt like it was one of the best episodes they've in a few years. I thought it was so good. Or maybe I just was in a particularly great mood when I was watching it, but I was. I was. I was entertained. How about you?
- [03:32]
C
It was pretty fun times. Well, I went to Arkansas this weekend because my niece graduated from college, which I can't even believe. She was just a little squirt when we started this podcast. Like a little baby. And now look. And so she was graduating, so I went over to Arkansas, and I stayed in this place. I stayed in this Airbnb. Oh, my God. When I tell you, I really felt Shamia and Kelly in that moment, I was like, wow. I. I cannot. After I spent all week bitching about how they were bitching, I was like, just do not. Do not say anything. Do not call the police. Do not. Do not do anything.
- [04:07]
B
Just.
- [04:07]
C
Just relax. It'll be fine. It's two nights, you know, and so I took it. But I definitely did feel like I got where they were coming from. And then I went back and watched this episode, or I didn't go back. I just watched this episode. And I thought, no, because that place is a palace compared to a real Airbnb. So then I got mad at them all over again.
- [04:30]
B
Yeah. Yeah, I. I mean, they showed. There was, like, a mark on one of the duvets. I mean, yeah, that's, like, unsettling. But, like, I was like, I don't know. I feel like I need to see, like, stronger evidence. And I have to say, I loved Cynthia this episode. I loved how Cynthia was just, like, exhausted with them, and it's like, I've been here many years. You guys just got here. Stop complaining. Stop trying to have a moment. Like, I did the best that I could. It was a clean room. Like, her vibe is like, it was a clean room, but I'm not going to gaslight you and say it was clean. If you felt like it was dirty, we will still clean it for you. But shut up. Stop making a thing, okay? I'm not even a full time, like, cast member. Let me promote my here and let's move on. And I just loved her over it vibe and how she just kind of told them, like, you've said what you needed to say, we're moving on. And it was actually very funny because, you know, a lot of this made me think of Angel's trip on Pomic that cuz it just happened where similarly, you had a host and you had guests who were beleaguered in a separate house, and they were unhappy with their accommodations. And in that house, that was a true devil house. Okay? And Angel, Angel, I do believe, was trying to rectify that situation. I think she was truly embarrassed. But at a certain point, Giselle just. Just decided to, like, be a guest from hell and. And like, angel needed to, like, put her foot down the way Cynthia did. And I just love the way Cynthia just told her. Her friends. Okay? Heard received. We're moving on. Please shut up.
- [05:54]
C
Well, yeah, because, you know, Cynthia gets a lot of shit for being boring, but when it really comes to it, she can. She can still play this game, you know?
- [06:02]
B
Yeah.
- [06:02]
C
And it was a lesson to people like angel who are like, oh, I'll try and please you to just be like, no, I'm pulling this car over. You know? So I thought that was. I thought that was really good too. I love to see it. And also I'd love to see Kelly and Shamia get the wind taken out of their sails because they're just so lame.
- [06:20]
B
Like, I know. Oh, yeah, Cynthia. And Cynthia and Drew making fun of Shamia later in the episode, basically saying the things that we've all been saying was kind of amazing. And when Shamia goes shot o', clock, they cut right back to Drew and Cynthia, like, making fun of running. I was like, yes, this is. This is what I love to see. So it was validating. Satisfied? Yeah, very validating.
- [06:45]
C
You know, it was great because it's like, is the audience the only people seeing this? And it's like, no, they all see it and it's annoying. She's annoying everybody. So that's fun.
- [06:53]
B
Yeah.
- [06:53]
C
I just wanted to. I don't need to talk about this terrible Airbnb the whole time. I just want to mention that it was in this yoga studio. It was in in top of a yoga studio. Okay, so it smelled like patchouli and like the whole. The whole thing. So I go to the bathroom, and right on the toilet, there is a picture. Like there's, you know. You know I hate self help phrases on mirrors. You know, like when people will put it on a sticky and they'll put it in their mirror, like, I believe in me and they see it every day that they're, you know, I hate that shit. So they're everywhere. It's like my karma, I'm telling you. This place, everywhere you turn, there's a new self help thing. So I go into the bathroom and right on the toilet, it's a little painting and it's a butterfly and it says, what makes your heart flutter? Can I? Shit. You know what I mean?
- [07:40]
B
I'll tell you what, I'll make this toilet flutter.
- [07:43]
C
Like, exactly. Like, is this the time that you want to know what makes me flutter? Like, can we not talk about this right now? This is. This is a shameful room. This is a shameful place. I mean, if they had a painting that said something like, shame on you. Okay, well, at least we're with the theme. What makes your heart flutter?
- [08:03]
B
Why. Why do we have to think about that while we're sitting on the toilet? What is the. Totally.
- [08:08]
C
Thank you.
- [08:08]
B
What is like, why do I need to think about what's making my heart flutter?
- [08:12]
C
Exactly. I'll tell you what's making my stomach bubble. You're about to find out.
- [08:16]
B
No, I'm like, I could probably tell you what's making my heart, like, my heart rate flutter. It's probably the stuff I'm about to poop out right now.
- [08:24]
C
Yeah, okay. Real Housewives of Atlanta season 17 episode 6 saddle up and Settle Scores so we're still in Dallas.
- [08:35]
B
We're at the house sitting again. We get that opening again, the Dallas opening. But that's it for, like, the silliness. And that's how you can tell that they had a good episode ready for us. Because they're like, okay, we do not have to fill our time with silly games made by post production, right? Like, we don't have to have silly credit sequences or whatever. We can just get right into it. I was like, okay, that's a good sign.
- [08:55]
C
They're like, we can deflate the Mylar boon. The Mylar balloon that Adrian Maloof's old face is painted on. Okay, deflate that. We don't need it today.
- [09:04]
B
Oh, I guess that was Garfield that they were showing at the top. I was like, someone wants lasagna. Oh, it's Adrian Maloof.
- [09:12]
C
Oh, so. And by the way, that's not. That's not like body shaming. That is plastic surgery shaming. There's this point where you have to be like, let's calm down. Let's save some rubber for the tires, okay? There's not going to be any wheels on the street anymore.
- [09:30]
B
I was more just like, we're so far away from Halloween. We don't need to really look like a jack lantern at this moment with your spray tan. It was just very orange. It was very, very orange. I don't mind a spray tan, but let's, like, just try to, like, not make it, you know, Halloween themed. So, yeah, we are here. I mean, I sort of like the spec. Speaking of spooky and Halloween, I do like the specter of Adrian Maloof hanging over this trip because we're gonna see her soon, but we just don't know when she's gonna pop up. And wasn't this episode maybe next week?
- [10:02]
C
You don't know when she's gonna pop up and be like, zing, Jack, get over here. Shamia is talking to a friend on or her sister Glenda on the phone, and she's like, I'm just annoyed because last night I missed dinner because I was unhappy with my accommodations. And this is how you know it's a shitty sister. Because the sister says, oh, yeah, you don't have time for that. No, a real sister would have said, you skipped dinner because you were upset about a room. Are you an idiot? What'd you do, sit in the room and not eat, dummy?
- [10:31]
B
I know. Yeah. I'm sorry. Like, if someone ever called me up and said that, I'd be like, what is wrong with you? Why would you just. Why would you not have the good food and be with your friends whenever we've had. Everyone knows if you wind up with accommodations that are really shitty, you do whatever you can to not be there. Right? You will stay out longer. You will just do whatever you can. Or if your house is in, like, a blackout or something like that, you get out if you can. Right? And so her deciding not to do the fun thing and not be part of the main action so she could mope in the accommodations that she doesn't like in the first place. It doesn't make any sense.
- [11:06]
C
No, it makes no sense. So then we go to Pinky, talking to Derek on the phone and telling him about her and Angela getting into it, and she's like, yeah, the giraffe looking one. Yeah. Nailed it. Nailed it. Made a giraffe joke. Nailed it. Pinky. Okay, Pinky has become one of the most annoying housewives in record time. Did you see the video that she made this weekend and put on Instagram? Oh, my God.
- [11:27]
B
I refuse to press play on it. I know. I was electioned a podcast. I was afraid of what it might be. What was it? Tell me. Describe it.
- [11:37]
C
She puts on, like, pastel. Like a pastel, like, baseball cap and overalls and starts doing a hip hop song about bankruptcy. And she's like, yeah, bankruptcy. Here's the bankruptcy I'm gonna tell you about. Bankruptcy. Chapter 11. Na na na. Then it's like, what are you trying to make bankruptcy fun? Get out of here with your bait.
- [11:58]
B
This is.
- [11:58]
C
This is not your thing. Like, get a fan. You know what I mean? Like, Angela has her fans, and Cynthia has her booze that she's selling. We all have, you know, what's her buns. Shamia has her. Her ass rum that she's trying to sell. And you're. What are you trying to sell? Bankruptcies. Pinky, stop. Just stop.
- [12:17]
B
Yeah, stop. Oh, I figured this would be an appropriate time to say, don't have a cow, man. Get it? Yeah, she is. She is annoying, but she's, like, actually perfectly annoying. She's like one of those housewives that's annoying, where you're like, ugh, Pinky. But she engages in a way that's like, oh, you're an active member of the cast. So I think that, like, I'm very happy that she's there. I'm happy that she's annoying me. Because we need to have these people on these shows, you know, unlike, like, a Kierna, you know, or like, I don't know, Amanda Francis is like, is polarizing. She's. She's annoying, but, like, she's also funny annoying. So she's like a good annoying. Trying to think of someone who's just, like, annoying.
- [12:56]
C
I know what you mean, though. I think Kieran is a good one to bring up, because Kieran is trying, you know, and Pinky's not really trying. She's just naturally that annoying. You know, Amanda's not really trying. She's naturally annoying. And that's what you need on these shows. So, you know, good for her. But just the Instagrams, please. I just feel like, just save yourself and save me.
- [13:14]
B
You know, Pinky just sort of has the vibe of the person who's in college who's always trying to make you go to, like, the dance that's being held at like the, like the student union. But like no one wants to go to the student union party. Everyone wants to go to the parties that are held at like a frat or like at someone's apartment or someone's like, people want to go to the off campus parties. They want to go anywhere else but the party at the student union. But Pinky is there and she's like organized it and she's like, you gotta come to the student union party and you go there. And because it's the student union party, there's no booze. It's just like non alcoholic. It's all soda. And it's just like, like only okay music and an empty dance floor. I just feel like that's who Pinky is.
- [13:53]
C
And she's like, they're all about bankruptcy, Eric.
- [13:56]
B
Wait a minute, wait a second.
- [13:58]
C
Who thought this would be fun?
- [14:00]
B
She's like, my favorite part of Monopoly is going bankrupt. And scene.
- [14:08]
C
So do not collect $200. Yes.
- [14:14]
B
She's like, when you go on, when you land on free parking, you do not get the jackpot. I don't like those rules. You get nothing.
- [14:22]
C
And she mentions that Angela said, yeah, we've got a third wife living in the basement. What the hell? I wish we did because we could use some help with the kids.
- [14:31]
B
What about a second? She's already. Pinky's already upped it to a third wife. I think Angela only said there was a second wife, but now Biggie's saying that there's a third wife now. It's just growing in there. It's like that. Documentaries. Yeah, yeah.
- [14:44]
C
The false prophet.
- [14:46]
B
Yeah, the vegan prophet. So Pinky is. They're like laughing about and it's nice though ultimately they're just like, we miss you. Blah, blah, blah. So now we're in the main house and everyone's eating breakfast and having a fun time. And they, they each walk into this breakfast one after the other. They've all clearly just had a session with their glam team. They are. I mean, their face is beyond all their faces are beyond made up. I understand Real Housewives love having glam. And it's like important to have glam before you go on tv for, for these, for the women of all these shows. But wow, it was like, are they going to be doing a joint? Joint, like news broadcast. This was like anchor, anchor lady level makeup. They all were like, boom, boom. I was like, man, it's like 8:00am I was like, that is tough. This is where this Is honestly where. Where like I kind of feel like being a. Being a man is. Is like a little easier. Like, that's a lot easier.
- [15:41]
C
In every way it's easier. But yeah, with this, I mean, this is male privilege.
- [15:46]
B
Male privilege really kicks in. In this moment.
- [15:48]
C
Yeah, for sure. And they, I don't know if they're only getting their glam team, like for the morning and then they send them home or what, because they're putting on nighttime makeup. You know, they're like nighttime glam for first thing in the morning. Like, you need to have a. I guess it's like luxurious to have a full time glam because you.
- [16:05]
B
Yeah. And like, we get it.
- [16:06]
C
Your afternoon am.
- [16:08]
B
Yeah, we get it. There's been many think pieces about why this is and being on TV and the pressures of being on TV and how it's actually really not fair, but this is what, what women have to do. Blah, blah, blah. Like, I get all the, all the implications and all the undercurrents and that this is, this is actually much more than what it appears on TV. But at the same time, it's like it's 8am and everyone is just like, has like makeup for the back row to see. And it's just like always so funny on any of these shows when. When this happens. And I was like, wow, one after and they're just like in bathrobes and like, ba boom. Full face. Yeah.
- [16:42]
C
It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crappin's commercial. Lately, I've been more intentional about what I wear day to day. And I'm leaning into pieces that feel easy and comfortable but still put together. It just makes getting dressed simpler. Quince has been my go to. The fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean, and everything just works without needing to overthink it.
- [17:06]
B
Quinn's has all the wardrobe staples for spring. Think 100% European linen shorts and shirts from $34. Lightweight, breathable and comfortable, but still look put together and clean. And 100% Pima cotton tees with a softness that has to be felt. Ronnie.
- [17:21]
C
Their pants also hit that same balance. Relaxed and comfortable, but still polished enough to wear pretty much anywhere.
- [17:27]
B
Everything is priced 50 to 80% less than what you'd find at similar brands. And Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen. So you're getting premium materials without the markup. Let me tell you something. That Mongolian cashmere sweater that I got from Quince, that is like a real icebreaker at parties. Because when people ask me about that sweater. And I'm like oh, I got it at quint. They're like oh my God, I have one from Quince too. And then we bond. You would actually would never think a Mongolian cashmere sweater could be such a bonding thing. But it is a lovely luxurious item.

- [19:22]
C
So Drew sees Pinky and she's like, well, you know, last night your energy was a little bit over. And she goes, well I mean it could have been. I mean I was defending my girls. Okay, that's it. I mean it could have been. It could have been bad energy. What do I know? But I've really got to defend my girls against a pen stain on a bed.
- [19:41]
B
And I came out, came out to battle. There were animal products in that ink and I will not stand for it.
- [19:49]
C
So she says that she's gonna chill today and she just wants to get to know the girls. And she's like, I'll even get to know you bigfoot. Even though you Were rude and nasty to me.
- [19:58]
B
You know what, Pinky? You. You're throwing.
- [20:03]
C
You're.
- [20:03]
B
You're throwing nutritional yeast in the glass house right now. Like, if you start coming for Angela's physical. Physical elements, people are gonna come for yours, and it's not gonna be nice when it gets turned around on you. Okay?
- [20:18]
C
So it's already been slayed in that department, because you can call her bigfoot all you want, but all I hear is, Shut up, Mr. Clean. Okay, Papa smurf.
- [20:27]
B
I know, I know, but that's, like, mainly on her. That's. But ultimately, that is still based off of her styling, and it's not about, like, her physical, but people could. Like, with anyone. You can pick apart anyone's physical, and you can find something, and, like, it's. When it gets turned around, you're not going to like it, Pinky. I'm telling you that right now.
- [20:47]
C
Yeah. So then Drew's like, yeah, there were some explosions. And she goes, yeah. I mean, the moral of the story is yesterday was just day one, so let's just get over it. And Drew just stays on her. She's like, yeah, that was a lot. That really was. That was a whole lot.
- [21:03]
B
She's kind of like. It's one of those moments where you feel like she's both kind of reprimanding her and also saying, like, settle down. You're new here. Okay? Just, like, relax.
- [21:14]
C
Yeah. So suia finally got to sleep because she slept in Pinky's room, and she's like, yeah, and I'm sleeping with Kelly because, you know, we don't have a room. You know what I mean? Oh, God, the fact that I'm having to share a bed on a girls trip. What if I want to pass gas? Now? I've got to be cognizant of the fact that I'm sleeping with somebody else, and I have to hold my ass cheeks all night long. I've just got to hold. What if I want. You know, she's trying to do, like, a comedic bit, but, yeah, you didn't
- [21:40]
B
need anything, so don't worry about it. Yeah, so Pinky's asking Drew about how her movie's going, and Drew's like, well, I'm still waiting on the numbers.
- [21:51]
C
How long does it take to count to 5?
- [21:53]
B
I know how many tickets were sold in that AMC. So Pinky asked me if she saw it, and Shmiel's like, no, I haven't seen it yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing it for sure. And of Course, like, the. The tension there is. Of course she was not invited to that mall premiere. And Phaedra's like, well, I'm just happy y' all are just not fussing about nothing. And Jamia, Andrew's like, yes, Shamia. You know, I don't have any problems with Shamia. Like, for real, I have no problems with her whatsoever. And Shamia's like, like, yeah, I'm not gonna believe that, because that means she
- [22:29]
C
can talk to me whenever she wants. She can talk to me whenever she goes, well, I've apologized, and you can accept that or not, and you've chosen not to accept it. Okay. And Phaedra's like, oh, did you receive this apology? She's like, I'm. Well, I didn't receive it because she said, I apologize, but. You can't say but.
- [22:50]
B
Well, then I followed up, and I said, I apologize for the but. And it almost feels like at that point, Drew, you want a problem? I mean, why do you want so many problems when it's almost shot o'? Clock? Personality. Personality.
- [23:04]
C
Andrew's like, yeah, her apology was bullshit. Like that Mohawk Bob that she walked into Portia's house with. That's how I feel. So now Cynthia comes, and Kelly is still getting dressed, and then we go to the pool house, and Kelly's just digging through a suitcase, and she's not really opening the suitcase. She only opens the very top while the suitcase is standing up and just putting her hands down in there, like a grab bag and just, like, waiting to feel something decent. And you're never gonna. Because there's nothing decent packed in there.
- [23:32]
B
Yeah. Like, the vibe is almost like, I'm not gonna open this bag all the way lest any of the germs get in. And also, for a moment, it was like, is she packing up to leave, or. It's like, no, she was just grabbing something out of her bag that she refused to open all the way up.
- [23:45]
C
Although seeing Kelly, like, search for clothes by treating something as a. As a, like, grab bag kind of explains her fashion sense. It's like. It's like a little kid you let dress themselves for school.
- [23:57]
B
You know, I saw a little kid walking on the street yesterday, and I was like, man, that kid is, like, more stylish than I am. So sometimes maybe the app comp. Like, letting Ben dress himself for the day. Yeah.
- [24:11]
C
Or letting two podcasters. Yeah. Choose their own fashions. For sure.
- [24:14]
B
I. Yeah. I changed my T shirt today, guys. I was wearing my round. My Roundup. Not Roundup. Yeah, the roundup Roundup T shirt, which was fun, that I've been wearing for two days. So Cynthia is explaining to the ladies about the plan is for the day they're gonna split. So some people are gonna go to check out some horses, watch some dressage, and some are gonna watch, like, a cattle run or whatever. Cattle. Cynthia's like, what is it? Cattle hoarding. Cattle. Cattle what? Cattle. Cattle who? Cattle.
- [24:45]
C
Huh?
- [24:45]
B
Cattle. Cattle hoarding.
- [24:48]
C
So Pinky's like, I've got to step in more shit. She's like, well, I really wanted to make sure that Kelly and Shamia are here with me because I just want to make sure we're good on this room situation. Okay. So she likes Drew, so she wants backup, so she's gonna bring Drew too. So now we go to K. Michelle, and she's taking photos with her outfit, you know, in front of the door.
- [25:14]
B
This is also part of the new the ritual, which is like, you get the glam, and then you have to then do a photo shoot no matter where you are, which is like. And I sound like a crotch deal person at this point. Like, why does everyone have to take photo shoots? But it is kind of hilarious. Like, everything turns into a photo shoot. It's like the glam squad does you up. Then you get into your outfit and the glam squad takes photos of you, and you're like, they're all like, by just like, doors, refrigerators, and they're like, oh, yeah. Because they all look amazing, obviously, and you want to, like, immortalize the look. But it's also funny how it's like non stop on every single one of these shows. Everyone gets into glam and does like a Dorit Kemsley photo shoot.
- [25:50]
C
Yeah, we should start doing that every day. Just taking, like, yeah, outfit of the day photos. These are my talking pants. This is my dance. The same thing I wore yesterday and the day before that and the day before that. Yeah. So they're all doing photos, shot photo shoots, and now the group for cattle herding heads out to go. Cattle herding. They get on the little bus thing, and Cynthia's like, here's to women empowerment.
- [26:18]
B
Cattle herding.
- [26:19]
C
What women have fought for. To watch cattle walk by a old saloon on a On the west cvs.
- [26:27]
B
Yeah.
- [26:27]
C
Dusty old western set.
- [26:30]
B
God, those poor cattle. They're like, oh, wow. Let me see if anything's new in this town. Let me guess. No. Oh, they look so bored. Like, whatever happened? Just walking by tumbleweeds and cacti. So, yeah, Cynthia's like, although I'm Here to celebrate the success of my tequila, which is yet to be released into the market, but it's successful. I really just want the ladies to have a good time. So let's just do a big one and have fun together in a small town watching a cow go by. So then the other ones, Portia, K. And Phaedra and Angela are gonna go to this dressage. By the way, Portia is wearing the funniest outfit I can. I have to. I have to imagine how much boob tape had to have been applied to make this work, because she's basically wearing, like, a little bolero jacket. It's like a little text, like a country western bolero jacket, and nothing underneath. And the bolero jacket only just, like, covers the top of her boobs. And, like, so the boobs are just, like, stuck to it, really. So, like, you know, they're taped in. I was like, how is she going to lift her arm up? Like, I. It was such a funny, like. And only Portia could pull that off, too. It's just like a bolero and under boob outfit. And I was like, wow. I would be. I would be just like. I mean, I'd be in a full moomoo, to be honest.
- [27:47]
C
Like, every day. I'd just be in a moomoo. Yeah, there's no doing the wave in that outfit, for sure. So they're updating K. Michelle on the drama from last night, and she's like, but I didn't look good, so I can go down there. She's like, oh, God. You can look however you want. Don't worry about it. You know, I mean, maybe you could have helped Pinky chill. And they're like, what is with her energy? Like, what's with Pinky's energy? They're trying to figure it out. And Portia's like, she's. I thought she was a damn vegan. She's bringing up a lot of beef. They're gonna do that 20 times. They're never gonna stop with Pinky. Every time Pinky gets upset with something, they're gonna be like, ah, there goes Pinky with her beef.
- [28:23]
B
She's hungry.
- [28:25]
C
Pinky sure has a lot of steaks in this situation.
- [28:30]
B
Wow.
- [28:31]
C
She. Is she from Europe? Because she's acting like a burger stretch, Pinky, it's over.
- [28:43]
B
But that's also probably because every other scene, Pinky is like, well, as a vegan. I'm sorry, I'm a vegan. I can't do that. Well, I'm a vegan.
- [28:52]
C
Yeah.
- [28:53]
B
Also, do you wonder if there was, like, more that we just didn't really see? Do we, like. Because, like, Pinky's, like, annoying, but she's not. Everyone's like, whoa, that energy. That energy. And I'm like, yeah. She's like, I don't think she's, like, above and beyond anyone else's energy. Like, there is an energy, but it's not above and beyond. I wonder, almost, like, if this back and forth that was happening was going on for, like, a very long time. And, like, was she. Did she keep on, like, reigniting it over and over and over again? And they're like, oh, my God, Pinky, enough. You know, does she monologue a lot? Like, what do you think is going on? Because they really seem to be. From all sides are like, pinky, whoa. You have to settle down.
- [29:29]
C
Well, I think it just started with them being like, okay, you're trying to confront somebody for somebody else who's not even at the table. That's really weird about a room being clean. So that was weird. But then her thing with Angela, I mean, it was pretty intense when she kept getting up and being like, I'm walking away. I'm not walking away. Oh, yeah, you can kiss my ass, you old menopause bitch. Whatever. So, yeah, it did go. It didn't. The energy did go kind of hard for the situation, you know, because everybody else is just, like, calm at the table. Like, what are we mad about? We're mad about a dirty comforter. Like, what. What's going on? No one could really, really wrap their mind around it. And Angela stayed so calm during the whole thing that I think it just made Pinky look crazy.
- [30:11]
B
Yeah. So then we see a montage of all the times that Pinky has kind of acted up or been, like, a little extra or just been. Seemed like she's gotta be in her bonnet, you know?
- [30:22]
C
I didn't really think this was dramatic either. Is this what you're saying?
- [30:25]
B
Yeah, because I was like, you're not
- [30:27]
C
even doing anything in these clips.
- [30:29]
B
But it's. I guess the vibe is more like, Pinky, you're sort of, like, trying to. She's not trying to stir up, but it's almost like she leans in, like, wow, can you believe this beef that I have with this person? And everyone's like, there's like. I don't get it. Like, it's. Yeah, there's nothing. You know, like, you just got here.
- [30:47]
C
Yeah.
- [30:47]
B
Yeah, exactly. So k. Michelle's like, well, I think Pinky's Passion was. I don't know, it looked like aggression. And Phaedra's like, well, it's a difference between yes and yes. I mean, she's like, that's just the way I talk. I'm like, well, can you just whisper it to me instead?
- [31:06]
C
Yeah. And then force is like, it's because she needs meat. When you don't have protein in your body, that is hungry. So Michelle, okay, Michelle stands up first. Like, well, her defense. She means well, you know, I mean, she. She felt that was wrong and that's why she was talking up about it. She goes, well, they're like, whatever, that's too much. But k. Michelle stands up for her and she's like, well, when. When it's her friend, she'll go hard, like, okay. So then Angela comes dressed ready for like a cocktail party or something. They're like, you know, we're gonna go like, ride horses, right?
- [31:40]
B
I didn't get the memo. So she's like, yeah. I mean, so, yeah, last night was, you know, she said some things that were hurtful and I said some things that were hurtful. And, you know, and Portia's is a
- [31:53]
C
read for a read.
- [31:54]
B
Just like, yeah, you know, that's just what happens. Pinky's talking too much, and I don't know what she's talking about, but I don't have an issue with Pinky. I said everything I needed to say to thinking. I'll say it again. She has a whole live in wife in the basement. And Angela's always doing that thing where she's sort of like always brushing like a strand of hair off of her forehead, but she does it, like with her. All her fingers extended. She's always like. She never wants to like, curl her fingers. They're just always in straight lines. Yeah, she does brushing things off like this. That's funny.
- [32:27]
C
You know, so they're gonna go see dressage and they're like, what? And Phaedra says that was her competitive sport in school. And so she know this. I remember her talking about riding horses. But yeah, I was watching clips, you know, because we're putting stuff together for this cabaret. So I've been watching Atlanta clips and just dying laughing. Mostly Nene clips. But those old Atlanta clips are just so funny. And to see the difference in Phaedra in her first year to now, like, how she's all glammed up and how she so plain. Like one of the clips is Nene being like that plain ass, you know, homie ass Phaedra. Like, she's you know, she doesn't even do her hair. And she. And they show Phaedra and she just looks like a real mousy, quiet person who never speaks, you know. Remember her first season? She really didn't say that much.
- [33:18]
B
She was.
- [33:19]
C
And now she's like this glambot, you know, she's always like, glambot superstar. Yeah. So I remember seeing clips of her riding the horse a little bit. But, yeah, I remember this being her thing. Dressage.
- [33:30]
B
Yeah. I don't remember either. They showed clips of her on a horse from back in the day. So clearly she had. She talked about her relationship with horses, but I just did not remember that she had dressage in her background, which I don't know why it was so amazing. Of course, Draftra has dressage in her background. So she's. Phaedra's explaining it, what dressage is all about.
- [33:51]
C
And Portia goes, so you're a ride ologist?
- [33:54]
B
She was like, oh, yeah, you know how to ride? Yeah. And this was my favorite thing that. I think my favorite line of the episode was K. Michelle going, I grew up around horses. My whole life, I ain't never heard no dressage. We call it Go see that horse. The way I laughed. Go see that horse.
- [34:16]
C
Come see the homers.
- [34:18]
B
We call it Go see that horse.
- [34:22]
C
So now we go back to the bus and Cynthia is talking about how they're going to be late. She's like, oh, my God, I hope the cattle waits for us. You know, I hope whoever's hoarding these cattle hoards them when we're there. So she doesn't know how this happens. She just knows that the cattle drive is once a day and they don't want to miss it. So now they're talking about last night. And Shamiya is like, well, you know, no one's over there where we are. And that's why last night didn't end up good. Because, you know, you guys don't understand it. We're over there by ourselves and you don't know what we've seen or what we dealt with over there. Oh, yeah, the place was filthy. It's filthy.
- [35:02]
B
But, like, the point of it is that, like, that's where your bed is. But you're supposed to come up to the main house and hang out. You're not supposed to just.
- [35:08]
C
They were traumatized. They were traumatized men.
- [35:12]
B
Have they never been? Unlike a group vacation before. Like, if. If you're in a separate room, you go to, like, the main room where everyone's hanging Out. Like, you don't. You don't just, like, sit there, be like, well, I guess this is where we're spending the whole vacation by the pool. It's like, get up to the main house. It's not that hard. So she's sitting there like, you know, explaining this. And Cynthia's like, well, you know, I. I don't want you to be in an unclean place. And she goes, oh, no, I know, I know, but. But I know you don't want that. And Cynthia's like, I'm doing the best that I can to rectify the situation. Because you did say you were going to send someone over, but it didn't get cleaned and nothing happened. I'm like, that was last. It's. You realize that was last night and now it's the morning. Like, the people have to get there. It doesn't just happen like that. It's, you know, it's not. It's not a. Like, like, you call up the cleaners. They're not on call in the back shed, you know.
- [36:09]
C
Yeah, yeah. And Kelly's like, yeah, it wasn't taken care of. And they're asking, are the cleaners coming in today? And she's like, okay, they're coming in today. My God. And Shimmy is like, okay, well, they're coming today, but it wasn't taken care of. So. And then we see in the last episode, Shamia called to tell Cynthia about the unclean room 30 minutes before dinner. So, yeah, they're not, like, sitting outside just waiting to see if somebody needs them. And Cynthia's like, yeah, this isn't a hotel, okay? And if it's not clean today, I'll walk over there and clean it my damn self. And she's like, you guys are just. You're talking about the situation to the point where it's taken over everything. And now and then Pinky comes to dinner, hot as fire, and basically said, you guys were dragging me about the whole situation. And Shamiya's like, well, you did say you were gonna send someone over, but it didn't get cleaned. Shimmy, it was 30 minutes.
- [36:58]
B
Yeah, it was 30 minutes before dinner. And also, this house is in the middle of nowhere. And, like, why are you getting mad at Cynthia? Because if there was anyone who was holding up the cleaners, it was clearly production to elicit this exact response from you, you know, that Cynthia probably had to tell production, like, I've got to call the cleaners. And then the production's like, okay, we'll get whoever to clean it. And the production's like, don't do it till tomorrow. And see, let's watch Shamia and Kelly lose their minds. Like, it's like a very obvious ploy to me and Shami is just falling right into it. So Cynthia's like, I'm doing the best that I can do. Like, like, calm the down. Are you in your room right now? You're not, so stop complaining. And Kelly's like, we appreciate you. And Shamia's like, yeah, I mean, I don't know why you're feeling like we don't appreciate you because you're sitting here still complaining about your room not being clean and you're being passive aggressive about it.
- [37:47]
C
Yeah, you guys are being obnoxious.
- [37:51]
B
Here comes one right now. Grilling season is finally here. And let's be honest, the difference between a good cookout and a great one comes down to the quality of your meat. You can have the best grill setup in the world, but if what you're cooking isn't great, it shows. That's why I've been using Butcherbox. They deliver premium, responsibly sourced meat right to your door. So you're starting off with the good stuff every time.
- [38:19]
C
ButcherBox delivers over 100 premium protein options straight to your door. From grass fed beef to wild caught

B
seafood food, it's all raised and sourced the right way. No antibiotics, no added hormones, no fillers, just clean, reliable protein. You can feel good serving.
- [38:35]
C
And especially during the grilling season, that quality really matters. Better meat means better flavor and fewer mistakes on the grill. And meals that actually live up to the moment. Whether it's a quick weeknight dinner or a full weekend cookout.
- [38:47]
B
I have several chicken breasts in my fridge, thawing as we speak from Butcherbox because I am planning to do one of my favorite dishes of all time, which is a Greek garlic and oregano grilled chicken. And so my grill get better. Get ready for the good times that are about to happen.

A
Okay, I have to tell you, I was just looking on ebay where I go for all kinds of things I love. And there it was.
- [39:39]
C
That hologram trading card.
- [39:41]
B
One of the rarest, the last one I needed for my set.
- [39:44]
A
Shiny, like the designer handbag of my dreams.
- [39:47]
C
One of a kind. Ebay had it.
- [39:48]
A
And now everyone's asking, ooh, where'd you
- [39:51]
C
get your windshield wipers?
- [39:53]
B
Ebay has all the parts that fit my car.
- [39:55]
C
No more annoying, just beautiful.
- [39:59]
A
Millions of finds, each with a story. EBay, things people love.
- [40:06]
C
And Kelly goes. Can I just say this? You know, when you're in a space and you're traveling, you at least want something comparable to what you're used to. No.
- [40:16]
B
No.
- [40:16]
C
What? I would never. No, you don't get to do that when you're on a vacation, on a group vacation, you don't. Sumia lives in a mall house. What does she get? A mall house. Every time we go on vacation with them, stay home. I don't want to go on vacation with you. And you're accustomed to stuff not being paid and your stuff being foreclosed on, so do you want notices on your door? Would that make you feel more comfortable?
- [40:37]
B
Yeah. Yeah. I don't think this is, like, divorce, where you would like to have, like, your lifestyle that you've become a guest and do maintain.
- [40:44]
C
She's, like, divorcing.
- [40:45]
B
I mean. I mean, look, I'm not gonna get, like, outrageous on this point. Like, obviously, when you travel, you want your accommodations to be nice.
- [40:51]
C
Yes.
- [40:52]
B
But, like, in this moment, like, where Kelly is now saying, like, oh, I need this to be comparable to what I'm used to. I'm like, okay, Zsa Zsa Gabor, let's relax here, okay? Like, you're in a very, very nice pool house that had, like, a pen mark on a sheet. So, you know, and then this is where basically, like, Drew is like, but, you know, we're talking about, you know, we're talking about dirt, and now you're talking about comfortability.
- [41:22]
C
And.
- [41:22]
B
But the fact is, you had a good night's rest, and you look gorgeous. Like, and that was a good point from Drew Sedora. Like, your accommodations are great. It just doesn't happen to be that maybe there was an issue with the cleanliness.
- [41:34]
C
Darling, I love you, but give me Park Avenue.
- [41:37]
B
Really?
- [41:40]
C
So Kelly's like, Drew says, well, I mean, we're talking about dirt, but, you know, you're talking about comfortability. But the fact is, you had a good night rest, and you look gorgeous, honey. You look gorgeous. And Kelly goes. And you look like the alien in your movie. And Drew's Andrew goes, And what do you look like? Misproportions.
- [41:59]
B
Misproportion was hilarious. I mean, that was. And they did a split screen of Drew and the alien, and that was so mean. But it was funny. And that. But also, like, Kelly, that was such a. Like, a hot response to Drew. Drew is basically saying, like, let's settle down. And you're like, you look like the alien in your movie. The fact that Drew said misproportioned.
- [42:19]
C
So funny. I love that.
- [42:21]
B
The.
- [42:22]
C
This whole episode, Kelly's trying it with people, and they hand her her ass every single time. It's so funny. Like, she just cannot compete, you know?
- [42:29]
B
Yes.
- [42:30]
C
I saw on a podcast, this clip. She was on a YouTube show or something, and she's like, oh, you know, And I'm so sick of Dennis and Denisha and Horsesha. You're so sad. I just cannot wait to just see them eat you up. And Dennis wrote back on one, and he's like, there's so much I'm not even saying about this girl. Don't make me say it, Kelly. Don't make me say it. I'm like, come on. Yeah, come on in, Dennis. Normally with the guys, I'm like, stay out of this. Okay.
- [42:57]
B
Yeah, that.
- [42:58]
C
I'm like, no, come on in. Come on in. Don't. The water's fine.
- [43:01]
B
Don't have us take Dennis aside, please, Kelly.
- [43:03]
C
Yeah.
- [43:04]
B
So Cynthia goes, okay, stop. This is where we are with everything. It's not a hostage situation. If you don't want to be here, leave, okay? She's. No, I would never put you in a space where you did not feel comfortable. That's what I'm saying. She's Kelly. And again. And I'm talking to Kelly right now. I hear you. I hear you, and I'm sorry. And Jimmy goes, oh, not your fault, Cynthia. I said that yesterday. So this is. I hate this thing where it's like, okay, you have to finally get the host to fall on their sword and be like, I am sorry. Like, oh, what? No, we weren't coming for you, even though we just lodged formal complaints for the past 10 minutes.
- [43:40]
C
Yeah. And she goes, that's not your fault, Cynthia. And she's. I'm talking to Kelly. And I was like, yes, Cynthia, yes. And so Kelly's like, oh, come on, Cynthia. They don't even cook in the big house. They only cook in the. In a little house where we're staying. You know, we're in an outhouse. We're in the chef's house house. My Versus my Versace smelling like fried chicken, fried fish, and sea bass. Okay, so now you're mad that people are cleaning. That's what people do in houses. You're in an almost 3,000 square foot home, ma'. Am. You're making. I just feel like they're making you sleep under a stove, ma'. Am.
- [44:10]
B
You know, you had this entire cast over to your Waffle House. Okay, how do you think they're Versace? And their. Their handbags and hair smelled after they went to the Waffle House. Okay, like, you're not the only one who deals with this. Yeah.
- [44:24]
C
So Cynthia is basically like, listen, I don't want to hear anything about this room. I'm sick of it. They're like, okay, geez. So she basically shuts them up. And Shami is like, oh, this is my first time meeting the durag 50 cent. And, you know, I met the one from Power who doesn't play that, but this is the first time I met this one.
- [44:46]
B
It's not that deep, Shabia. Cynthia was just mainly checking you and being like, okay, you guys have tried it. You guys had your scene. Like, stop. Stop trying to make me look like a shitty host right now. You're so lucky.
- [44:59]
C
All you need to be saying right now, Shamia, is, I'm sorry, fofty. That's all I want here.
- [45:06]
B
Okay? So meanwhile, in the other. So they're all like, have a bad vibe in their car. And the other. The other bus, everyone's having a great time. They're all just, like, dancing and partying. So then we come back, back to the Cynthia bus. And Drew's like, so, what's going on for the gala tomorrow? She's well, at this point, child, I don't have the strength or the bandwidth to even worry about it. They're like, well. And Vicki's like, drew, is your boo coming? And so they're talking about Black, and Drew's like, oh, Black, you mean my friend?
- [45:33]
C
What?
- [45:33]
B
Like, yes, I talked to Black last night. I told him Derek was coming, and because, like, oh, your husband. They're like, oh, my God. Black. Black and Eric. They're like, with a kettle on. And so they're asking, like, Drew's saying that she really loves. She just loves Black. And like, oh, my God. L O V e. L O V E. Whoa.
- [45:51]
C
Love.
- [45:51]
B
Wow.
- [45:53]
C
Oh, love. Ralph's gonna have to get out of the basement. So then in the other car, Portia is asking what she thinks about Drew, and she's like, you know, this is my second time seeing Drew. I mean, I don't think I really got to know Drew. I don't know her yet. And she's like, well, you know, it was weird. We were in the bus yesterday, and she said, you knew Black. And she's like, like, she did. And then she used her little finger. And I was like, do not use your finger. Okay? Now, the only reason I know Black is, is DMs. He's in my DM saying, oh, you're so fine. This and that. And so we see some of those dms, and she's like, this young man, Black is salivating, okay, over my cakes.
- [46:30]
B
And we actually see her that she makes cakes. She says.
- [46:34]
C
She says this young man named Black is salvitating.
- [46:37]
B
Salvitating. And then she actually makes fun cakes. But I also thought, so it was funny because K. Michelle was like, yes. And she used her finger when she. When she said I knew him. And we see, like, this flashback, this brief moment of, like, you know, Drew putting her finger out. I just love that all these tiny things that are totally not landing on my radar and maybe other people's radars are totally bothering K. Michelle all seasons. Like, all these tiny little things, like, little things with Portia does or whatever. She's like. Like she used her finger when she explained that to me. I don't trust her.
- [47:09]
C
