SAI IT AIN’T SO, ERIN! | RHONY Recap with Dustin Ross

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 of 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 addition to celebrity guests, whether in the unscripted space or scripted as well. Raindrops. Thank you for tuning in and listening and watching. Give your own Patreon to another episode of Dustin and I recapping the latest episode of New York City. Dustin, how's it going?

Yes. Better than Cy's kneecap.

I said, what the hell? Cy gonna have to get a trick knee. Do they still do trick hips and.

Stuff, Carlos?

Cy gonna have to get a trick knee. I said, her knee done slid to the left. It slid to the right.

Okay? And clapped its hands. I'm doing great. Another great week-a-roni. Call it what you want.

I like to call it macaroni because this season is macking. You know what I'm saying? This is a great season and this was a great culmination of the mosquito trip.

I thought I heard MAGA, Roni.

No, that's the golden life.

I seen them arguing the other day, a couple of hours ago, rather, in an interview. They had asked Kelly if she wanted Bethany to be on the show, and they started talking over each other, her and Ramona and.

Sonya, who I actually like Sonya.

But her and Ramona and Sonya and them was in there and they were arguing over each other more of the same old, same old mess.

And it actually, look, Kelly and.

Ramona on the same cast is, it's imbalanced to me. Kelly skews a lot younger than Ramona. And even when they were arguing, Kelly was seated in a tier higher than Ramona. So she's arguing with this feeble woman, feeble, foolish woman down here. She's literally over her Carlos and looking down like, well, I, like that in the argument.

They just belong on different shows.

Kelly really could go play with the new Roni to be honest with you, but whatever.

She actually could. She actually could. And listen, I'm with you in the sense of this reread. Let me tell you something. One thing about me is I'm like you. I'll think about something that happened years ago and make me laugh. The re-re-re-re-relaunch of Adani.

Yeah.

The re-re-re-re-re-reboot.

Yeah. This ain't a reboot. This is an orthopedic boot. That's what this is.

It's a massive thing. So I'm loving this season. I have not yet. And I got to be honest, exclusive for you guys. I haven't watched A Golden Life yet. You know me, Dustin. I like to watch YouTube throughout the day as I'm working as like just background shit. And I saw that it's on YouTube.

Okay.

The thumbnail did not make me want to hit play. And I don't know.

I don't know.

I'll let you know, Dustin.

Okay.

I don't know if I'm going to watch it.

Yeah, I'm not interested.

Okay.

If I want to see old women, I'll just watch reruns of the Golden Girls. At least they was entertaining and talented and, you know, skilled in a certain way. And then I follow Sonya on Instagram, so I'll check in with her that way. Luann was great on Ultimate Girl Strip. That was some of her best, and I can see her there.

You know? Yeah. Oh, and Dorinda.

And you love Dorinda.

Love Dorinda, yep. So y'all watch for Dorinda. We need Dorinda to get the ratings and her to stay working. We love Dorinda.

Yes, yes, yes. So, Raindrop, it's safe to say that me and Dustin will not be recapping The Golden Life unless we get a phone call that we have to and some paper.

Then we will.

Oh, guess what, Dustin? Today on The Golden Life.

Okay. Listen, I am changed. What Jennifer Holliday say, look at me. I am changed. Okay.

The positives have changed. But anyway, yeah, you know, but, but yeah, okay. Back to better matters. I had more important matters. I had, I don't know where you want to start with this, but I do know that we were given and gifted. I should say a mid season trailer for Roni. So you tell me, No.

The beauty, listen, first of all, our last episode of, listen, all of our episodes obviously are great. Our last one, which is your first recap with me, Aroni.

Yeah.

When I say to you, the feedback from the audience based on that episode, and it's funny because we started off by saying, we're not going to go in order, guys.

Let's just cook. It works. So Dustin, I'd like for you.

When we do recaps, You start. You tell me where you want to start. What are you feeling?

I think that Daisy is financially insecure.

Right.

And I don't mean that she is that she can't pay her bills. But I think that Daisy feels intimidated financially by the other women on the cast. And I think that her way, especially Erica, might I add.

Right.

Because Erica is young and hot and it is what it is. And she's married to a billionaire. So and then they're all up in there. And Daisy really thought that she was going to have the connect to real wealth through her relationship, her close knit relationship with Martha Stewart that we.

Tired of hearing about.

So I think that her seeing, you know, actually being in the physical space of Erica's private island, I think it was a little intimidating for her. And that's why her and Aaron was sitting over there straight up hating, saying that all of the furnishings in the home look like they came from Pier 1, which what the fuck is wrong with Pier 1? I remember being a little boy and being fascinated by that wall of throw pillows against the back wall in Pier 1.

They had all the colors in gradient. You know what I'm saying? It was beautiful.

But she's saying all that while sitting there looking like she got on Pier 1 sweats. Did you see when her inside was sitting there when she went back behind the bar looking like a natural back there fixing drinks and messing up? She looked like she used to mess up behind the bar when she was bartending. She went back there pouring that champagne and then came out. And she had on that washed cotton. First of all, that was too hot to be wearing down there in Mosquito Island.

You know what I'm saying? And she just, it turned me off.

It's one thing to have a funny reflection or observation and make a joke.

But when you punching down like, oh.

This big, obviously beautiful house is raggedy or, oh, this is a dump and Martha would never. Well, that's Martha and she's Martha and you are not. She's Daisy.

So I just don't understand.

The gumption, I guess, or the gall of her.

To be judgmental.

The unmitigated gall of her to be so nasty with.

Erica in the house. I didn't like that.

And I feel like her, there's a scripture where it says, feet in a hurry to run to badness. And I feel like that is appropriate when we're discussing Aaron and Daisy's relationship.

That's the treacherous two.

That link up, they come to do like Lil Boosie's album and Touchdown and Cause Hell.

That's what they come to do. They do. They talk, the way they set up.

Dustin, okay. Okay.

Come on.

I do have a lot of white listeners. So some of them may not have heard of Lil Boosie. So can you do me a favor and just educate them on who Lil Boosie is?

For sure.

Okay, thank you.

Yep.

Little Boosie is a embattled Louisiana rapper who's an ex-con.

He also has yellow eyes.

He is known for having a tight fade haircut, which is stand up, and he has great music, right?

Horrible politics, terrible parenting. He's done some of the worst.

Things you could do as a father, but he is high earning and he spends disrespectfully. He just went through some public stuff, which that audience may have been abreast of and aware of.

60-minute interview?

Yeah, he just got got. He was a mark, is what they call that person. He got got or whatever for hundreds of thousands of dollars. I don't even want to get into that because we'll just get in the weeds with that. But Lil Boosie is a Southern American rapper artist who has an album called Touchdown and Cause Hell.

And that's what I mean, that's what Aaron and Daisy do every time they link up to me.

That's what they do.

And my listeners, that is your paid promotion for Black History Facts of the Day. All right.

I've done a service. I love it.

The Spotify comments love you, Dustin, and they always tell me we love when Dustin educates us on Black stuff. So we're here for it. I do want to add on to what you had to say about Daisy first, and then I'll get into Daisy and Aaron as the treacherous two.

Yeah.

Wow. The mighty has fallen.

Mm-hmm.

Daisy, and again, we started recapping last week, but you and I talk all the time, and I know you appreciated Daisy's presence on the show too.

Yeah.

Daisy started this reboot loving Daisy, a few friends of mine in the industry. When I talk about this particular show, Their favorite was Daisy. I don't understand Daisy's pretentiousness. I don't get it. She's so pretentious. Everything you said, her insecurity with other people's money and having loads of that is a thing. I'm never one to dismiss anyone's occupation.

I know that at the end of the day, God gave us all blessings and I do feel like in order for this world to operate, you need people to do various jobs. And I'm never going to be the CEO.

No.

So I'm not going to downplay. I forgot who said in this episode, like, well, she's just Haley.

It was Haley. She's like newsflash. Everybody's not married to a hairdresser, Daisy.

Yes. You know, like he's her husband's a hairdresser. She's a makeup artist. I know tons, and you do too, Sir John.

Wildly successful hairdressers and makeup artists.

Yeah. Wild. Paid.

And doing incredible once-in-a-lifetime things on the regular.

You know what I'm saying?

Yes.

Yeah, no shame and no stigma in that.

But also, that's why wealth and money and shit like that is not something that you should measure people's value by or the value of their character by.

That's also why you don't really talk about shit like that. You know what I'm saying? Because it just looks tacky and classless.

I thought, even though this is the Real Housewives and we come from a... We're in a space where Marlo has been questioned about her money for years and shit like that. So I get that people do it. But I also feel like it's just tacky. Daisy asking... Haley, how she makes her money because Haley yawned when Daisy was telling that boring ass story for the 50th thousandth millionth hundred thousandth time, you know, times three to the third power about her having a relationship with Martha fucking Stewart.

Martha's probably tired of her. It's been 17 years of this shit. And I guarantee you.

The excitement has not dwindled in those 17 years on Daisy's end. And they're tired of it. So no wonder Haley yawned.

She's just You know, nobody wants to hear that. And it is getting a little bit.

It's just it is it is it's getting redundant at this point, to put it simply. So I think it was tacky to ask her in the first place about our money.

It was it was and I don't see the reason for it. So the thing with Daisy, Daisy is is is I'm actually in shock how much she started off being one of my favorites. to literally, I mean, she may be my least favorite. While I enjoy, you know, people being themselves and everything else, I'm never a fan of anybody that judges people based on their occupation and income. Like, there's a grossness to it. It's very elitist. And I could see if you lived that life. You expect that from Erica, right?

And she'll never give it to you.

She never... Erica has not once even bragged... And this is the shady part, right?

Mm-hmm.

I kind of want her to.

I do, too.

It's the housewives.

Once you see that playing nice with these women is not the way to go, pipe up on their ass.

Because you can, Erica.

You pretty, you young, you are literally richer than the whole entire lot of them.

Combined. Okay?

So I just want her to pipe up a little bit and kind of lean, when appropriate, right? Not lead with that, but when appropriate, when it's time to lean into that, lean into it.

Mike went candy to Marlo. If I wanted to, I could take care of all you motherfuckers in this room.

I could. That's right. Okay? That's how you do it.

And what did we do, Dustin?

That's it. We had to give it up.

And mind you, at that point in the Real Housewives of Atlanta timeline, Candy wasn't even one of my favorite housewives at that time because I was a huge Nene fan and they were feuding.

Yeah.

And so, but even then, me, not ever being a hater, I had to give it up to Candy.

You know what I'm saying? Like, yo, you tore that up and Marlo wasn't ready for that. No, no, no.

Even Marlo gagged and said, and the thing is, Dustin, I was there.

Uh-huh.

And a pin could drop. The moment she said it, it... It was silent and Andy gagged. Sharae Kim and Phaedra Gay. That's right. And it was silent to the point we had to say, Andy, next question.

How about it?

And this is confirmation of my forever point that authentic conflict, authentic reactions will forever beat Trump and outlast Trump. Anything that you could rehearse and write ahead of time, any day. Because that was Candy just responding off an emotion off the dome.

And it stuck.

None of the stuff that some of the other people on that stage had written.

But go ahead. Back to Ronnie Lowe.

All right. That's another episode that we can talk about. All right. So when it comes to Aaron, okay. In this episode, Aaron... You know Aaron's my favorite.

But the thing is this, Aaron is also getting on my nerves because in the words of Kyle Richards to Kim Richards, this is indefensible.

I can't defend this.

You got flat out busted. Cold busted.

Okay.

You can't say to me, Hey, but look, I'm taking parts of the league.

Hell yeah, yeah.

I have people dragged every week defending you because I still love you. But I'm mad at you. By the way, T for you. Between us boys.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

So a housewife texted me yesterday with a bunch of heart emojis. And I said, mm-hmm, I still love you. And she said, thank you for the compliment. And I said... even when you're mad at me, I want you to know I'm this way because I'm hard on you because I believe in you. And she said, I know.

I'm sorry. Love you. So my point is... Yeah.

And what was the area code on that text message?

Um. Life is.

International.

My point is nothing.

I'm hard on the girls. I see potential in. That's right. So, Aaron, learn from this.

Learn from this, Aaron. You're going to have to start.

Aaron needs to stop arguing unless she's really mad about what it is. If you're not really mad about what's going on, stop forcing the blow up. Stop forcing the screaming matches because then you start doing things.

Like manipulating the cadence and rhythm.

Of your voice and doing that, that enough, enough, whatever that was.

And you know, it just gets weird. You know what I'm saying?

And it's because your heart ain't in it, Aaron. Your heart ain't in it. You know what I'm saying? You got to wait until they really piss you off. Until then, look good, ask tough questions. be present, be funny, and just let that carry you. You don't have to yell when you don't want to yell because you look like that.

Her wallet's in it, Dustin. These girls are afraid of getting canceled. They, Aaron said, this is my third try, bitch. I've seen this cast go from sugar to shit. Aaron is scared. So is Cy and so is Jaisal. Dustin, they're nervous. They do not want this to get canceled. So I understand as a force multiplier why Aaron is so confrontational. However, you can't sit up here and say, I haven't spoke about Jaisal's husband in three years. It doesn't matter. You made the comment. Egregious as it is. Now, granted, what made me laugh, Dustin, is when you said, well, I heard it from my makeup artist.

Yeah.

Like, okay, so first of all, Aaron, nice try, but Cy never said that you talked to Jenna.

About her business.

Cy said that Jenna told her She had heard about it, but not from you. That you had told someone else and they told her. And Aaron, you know that.

You know that piece.

So this text and this random miscellaneous makeup artist and asking for who said what, that has nothing to do with what Psy is pissed and sneering at you about.

That has nothing to do with it.

And that's what pissed me off. I expect you to talk about them behind their back. I know that and I'm okay with that. But what pissed me off was the lazy-ass, haphazard, half-ass attempt to try to pull up some proof of something that don't prove shit. That made it 10 times worse. 10 times worse.

Just say it.

I heard your fucking husband was gay and he was fucking in Equinox in the spa.

It's not true.

I'm mad at you and that's why I said it and we can fucking fight about it all season, but that's what I heard.

Say it.

Yes, and then say- Show of hands, if I'm the only person that has ever heard this rumor, the thing to always tell these reality stars, even my own, is this. You have to lean into the truth. If you said it, own it, and be like, look, I said it very much how Meany. I don't want to dildo up my ass today. This is how I feel. I said it.

I meant it. I said what I said. It ain't changing over here.

Candy said, clearly, everybody knows you used to strip. So....

Is that all you think I'm talking?

Is that all you think I'm talking? No, I'm just saying, you can have your ass bent over in somebody's face.

That's it.

All deserve an Emmy.

The same way that Grammys went back and did what they should have did 20-something years ago with that Grammy for Eve, for the Roots You Got Me song. You know, they just went back and gave her a Grammy for that song, like, last year. The Emmys needs to go back retroactively. and create a category for reality show reunion performances, and they need to award Lynethia Monique Leakes for that season four reunion.

I will die on that hill. That deserved an award, for real.

Yes, I agree. You ain't getting no arguments out of me when it comes to that.

Anywho.

Yeah, so Carol says she heard it from Mason, the salesperson at The RealReal, okay?

That.

Jessel's husband is allegedly gay.

Yeah.

Now, one thing I know about me and Dustin, even if he is, and even if we knew, we just don't believe in people as dangerous. And that type of conversation, listen, I don't know the guy. I don't think it's true based on the limited scenes that I've seen. I don't think it's true. Now, look, there are some other people on these shows that if that rumor came out, I would not be surprised.

On that show. But anyway.

The one we recap on Mondays?

The one we recapping right now.

Dustin, anyways.

And I ain't just talking about the men either. But anyway, let's just finish going. Let's just finish going.

Okay.

It's DL both ways.

You can be a DL-ass woman or a DL-ass man. Both of them can be DL. That's all I'm going to say. Let's just, let's just, let's just continue. Let's just, let's just, let's, yep.

And this is why you're my brother. See? Anyway.

I never looked at her that way. She, let me not be stereotypical.

Okay.

She is kind of alpha.

So anywho. And it ain't just one either. I see like a spade's hand, two in a possible.

This is the blackest recap I have ever done in my career.

I love it. We went from little Boosie to spades. You are officially doctored with the South of blackness. There we go. So Dustin, text me later. The thing is, how did you feel about New York Post reporter Carol, who, by the way, Dustin's... Okay. Raindrops. So, Carol Radswell, who is a journalist, a reporter, you know my Reality with the King Instagram page that I know all of y'all following.

Thank you very much. posted, you know, Dustin's recap of, you know, how he felt about, you know, um, well, why is Daisy defending, you know, Carol against Cy? It was weird. The post was up for 30 minutes. Carol Raswell left a comment that I would like to read to the audience and to Dustin and because every time Dustin says anything, the housewives are 100% of the time going to respond and 50% of the time will also email him directly. I mean, directly. Okay. So Carol said, Oh Lord. Oh Lord. Why would anyone side with someone whose only interest was having a gotcha moment on a reality show? Dustin, she wrote police.

Uh-huh.

Okay?

She wasn't interested in having clarity on why the crimes were never investigated. That was obvious. I'm on the side of some stories shouldn't be exploited for entertainment. I've talked about this for years. Google is free. There's no reason why anyone on this earth would be unclear. about what my friendship with Maxwell, last name, not first, was 20 years ago. She wasn't my bestie, Dustin. I never met Epstein.

I didn't know him. No serious person, Dustin, thinks in any way I was a part of a SX trafficking ring. It's absurd. People need to stop getting their news from TikTok and reality shows. Hope this helps. Love you, King.

Yes.

That said, only you could get Carol to take her hands and not use it on a typewriter.

Uh-huh. Or pulling up tube socks. Yep. Yes.

Which I love tube socks, too. And those are some nice, thick, you know, Eddie Bowers. They had thread counts like a sheet. They was 2,000 thread count tube socks, man.

Listen.

Listen. They look great. But yes, she responded to that. And I thought it was funny.

I also just feel like Carol needed to get that off her chest because what she said really had nothing to do with anything I said in the video clip. So she just was responding to people responding to her. And I didn't take that personally.

No, no, no. It's all fun and games. Carol's cool.

Yeah.

Carol, though, Dustin, decided to get her lick back at Sy. Mm-hmm. As she's talking to Erica, she says that she doesn't judge Cy, who wrote on her sub stack that a guy named Daddy Warbucks gave her $ 10, 000 just to sit with her. Carol said, look, I'm curious what she may or may not have done to get that money. Was she a bartender or on the pole? I don't know, but I'm not going to accuse her of that. So then she decides to confront Cy, which I appreciate.

Mm-hmm.

Talk about her behind her back, but hey, also ask the questions to her face. So I did appreciate that.

Even if it takes three hours and 38 minutes for her to ask it, because they definitely said that, yeah.

I didn't know. Well, yeah, you having fun? I am. Yeah, I don't know.

And finally, Carol said something. So she mustered up the strength. And then she, yeah.

She had to pregame it, you know, foreplay a little bit, doesn't get her way, get her vulnerable. Like all those things, you know? So she said, um, Let's talk about it, because at this point, Psy's like, look, I did not want to come across judgy. That wasn't my thing. Carol did say questioning was a little shitty. Psy apologized. She asked about her sub stack. Psy said that Daddy Warbucks was in a $ 123 million posse scheme.

Who do you think it is? Bernie Madoff? That's what I heard, Daddy Warbucks. It is Bernie Madoff? I think it's... Well, I read, I heard that.

You know what I'm saying? That that's who it was. I just wonder who, if she's ever actually said who it was.

She has not.

Not out of her own mouth, I don't think. But no shade, not a lot of people in New York City.

I've been caught up in $ 133 million Ponzi's.

Yes.

And I will say this. I did think it was very rich. That, yes, Jamie. Allegedly. Thank you, Jamie. Allegedly, Bernie Madoff.

Allegedly.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to get the answer from him.

Bernie Sanders.

Can you imagine Cy and Bernie Sanders as a couple, both sitting up there with their irons folded and legs crossed at the knee? Cy be sitting like Bernie Sanders in that photo all the time now that I think about it, Carlos.

She be sitting like that all the time.

It's a picture of Bernie Sanders with his arms crossed, sitting in a chair with his arms folded and his legs crossed at the knee.

It's famous. They've turned it into a meme forever and ever. Amen.

But Psy be sitting with that same posture all the time when she's talking to these women. Psy be sitting like Bernie Sanders. Both of them sitting up there next to each other. Folded up like that.

Anyway, at least it wasn't Bernie Sanders, man.

But yeah, Cy, you know, and also, who gives a fuck that somebody with a bunch of money and bad dealings tried to talk to Cy four score and, I guess score.

Is the wrong.

Not the scene of the crime.

Four score, no pun intended, in 30 years. Who cares that that happened? I don't think Cy... That has nothing to do with the side that we met on Real Housewives of New York. Nor is Carol in the damn Epstein file. She's not a part of none of that bullshit. She's not connected to any of those bad dealings. Let's back up off of trying to attach. Because to me, there's a difference between asking questions about something and making accusations about something. Psy didn't really make accusations until the very last question she asked when she said, So you never were on the island. I thought that was a little too far. It wasn't funny. And it was it was bad timing anyway. But she never made an accusation

of Carol being involved or implicated that she had been involved in any wrongdoing.

We don't care about no side.

Probably the same way Haley wants us to know that she was in that affair with John Gosselin. I think Cy wants us to know that she had a rich man that offered to buy her a house when she was bartending and young. it affirms her in some way, I think.

Can I tell you what I also think?

Yeah.

I also think she wants to get ahead of the story, no pun intended. I think, I think it's, my opinion, I think it's convenient that while you were working at Scores Bartending, which there's a lot of bartenders who aren't strippers, right? So I'm not going to get rid of that.

Yeah, exactly.

You know, I do find it, convenient that while you were bartending you happened to meet a guy that was a part of a Ponzi scheme that gave you 10k just to sit with him whether it was sitting on him on top of him on his face I don't know I didn't read the sub stack I don't subscribe to it but I do I'll say this I did find it hypocritical because for me it goes to show you that yes you can definitely be In close proximity with people, Sy, because I'm not going to put bodies on you. You could be in close proximity with people and don't know the maniacal things they're doing behind the scenes.

And I think what Dustin and I were saying was like, listen, we all know that Carol wasn't a part of it. And you have every right to ask the questions. But I definitely think I found it interesting that she was in a position very.

Different, right?

It's very different, very different. but in the sense of knowing somebody you were close to that was also doing illegal stuff.

I agree.

And it is, I'm glad that Cy was able, that Cy had to kind of take accountability for that in that moment.

And hopefully she got like a reality check.

But I think when you're talking about something that's sensitive, we just needed to dance around the Epstein Files thing one time.

Verbally, I don't think we need to push that out any further.

I'm over it.

It's very serious and very sensitive. And it's not something that should be toyed with in that way.

You know?

So we've talked about it. We've acknowledged it. Let's move on from that. Because at a certain point, it becomes disrespectful to the situation, to the survivors, to all of that. So let's back up off of that and just have fun cussing each other out.

I agree.

I don't want to go to a dark place and... Um, one thing that I do want to ask you when it comes to Haley, um, I still like her. I definitely think she's full of shit. And when I say that, I don't mean, Oh, Carlos, you were, you were this close dropping a name of someone who is full of shit. That's on reality television that y'all love to give her her tens. And she is full of shit. And y'all love, everything about her, and me and Dustin look at her and say, she is the biggest phony. Dustin, I was this close. I don't know why.

I do, because you thought about it.

But you know, in the words of Selena Johnson, I'm more pulled up than you.

Okay, I'm pulled up. Yes, I am. I'm one that's more pulled up than you. Okay. And you hate it. That's right.

I wanted to be pulled up, Dustin, at this moment.

Yeah, you are.

Okay, Carlos, baby, you said the N-word last week on Patreon.

You know, Carlos, you a cover star now, so you know you got to, you know, cover boy Carlos King.

I'm a little bit of decor up.

Easy breezy, okay? That's right.

Thank you, Tom, for all the years teaching us how to smize.

How to smize, okay.

So, Haley, okay, while I agree with you, Dustin, that Daisy out of nowhere asking her, why are you yawning? Where you get your money from?

How did we get, like, yeah.

What the fuck? Don't know how that correlated, but whatever.

She been waiting to say that.

Waiting. It was obvious she was waiting. So the ladies are questioning, okay, Haley, what do you do for a living? She's very coy about it. Then she says, y'all know I'm a publicist. And I really was like, what does she do? Now, when it comes to her money, I do, listen, I agree with, I'm on Haley's side with this. I'm not, I'm not talking about my money.

Yeah.

I don't care if I'm a trust fund kid. I do think it's, Dustin, I think being a trust fund kid is so chic.

I do. Hello? Me too. What the fuck?

That's a head start to security and safety, okay?

And that's the intention of it.

And anybody that hates on that is a fucking hater. But I think that's a great position to be in.

So I ain't mad at it. Be a trust fund kid. You just got to pay it forward. I do think that.

I think if you're a trust fund kid, you have an obligation to figure out some way to continue the family wealth.

You know what I'm saying? And pay it forward.

But- If I am blessed enough to become a father, my kid's going to be straight. I'm going to work my ass off to make sure my kids benefit from my hard work.

To me, that's how it should go. Yes.

Legacy. Legacy. So we know that her father is this renowned plastic surgeon. But she's very coy about the money, which I get because you bitches ain't about to have The IRS contacted my motherfucking phone the way I've seen a few other people on Housewives franchise. But what do you think about her being so cagey about her occupation?

Although she said, I'm a publicist, but she won't mention the number of clients that she has.

Well played. Because why should she give them what they want?

Why should she give them the mere fact that she knows that they want the information? It's the perfect incentive to never fucking give it to them. Keep them guessing, play coy, crack a joke. Kaylee played that part. It was actually masterful to me. Be full of shit, be funny and coy about it.

How to do hard work and manifestation. That was hilarious. That was hilarious.

Very Marlo Hampton, Dustin.

Very much. God. Very much. They asked, how'd you get your money? God. They asked her.

So that to me, Haley did exactly what a housewife was supposed to do in that situation. You don't satisfy them with the fucking information that they're seeking. You give them hell for even seeking it by never giving it to them.

Good job, Haley.

I thought it was masterful too. We need to get into how the episode ended, which is, listen, Erin is really trying to keep the lights on this season, and she does not want to get canceled. She does not Want this reboot to get canceled. So once again, Dustin, for the fifth time in this one trip, I'm like, Aaron, I'm all about force multiplying, but damn, can you divide and conquer? Give this shit to someone else.

And did you at least pinch her? Because every fight she got in on this episode, she lost. It came up bloody and bruised, knotted up. I'm like, Cy, the way Cy and them are playing pickleball, with your head right now. I just don't understand, like, why you keep putting yourself in that blender.

They tearing you up.

Daisy embarrassed her when she tried to have that moment of camaraderie against Jessel and Psy with Daisy, and Daisy was like, I never said that. No, no, no, I never said that. I never, no, no, no. Like, that's what she told her. And so that didn't work. Now she jumps in here with Psy, who ain't got nothing to lose right now, and her knee hurt.

Please.

Cy is like, baby, today can really be your day for real. And that's why I told her, I think you drink and I think you talk when you drink. And I think you need to stop. So are you trying to piece all this up? Let's get back to what we're here to talk about. You need to stop talking drunk. I was like, yo, like, it's getting tricky, Carlos.

You know it must be true because Erin did not even deny it.

No, she didn't. She didn't.

She did.

Just like she knows. she said that shit about Jessel's husband, Povitt. She knows she said that. She knows exactly what Sy is talking about.

She knows exactly why Jessel's asking her that. Playing ring around the roads, he's making Jessel go all over the world to finally have to say, did you say my husband was gay?

Like, did you say that? You know you said it. So I didn't pull that out her ass. So I don't know.

Erin just, again, though, even though these actions from Erin and Daisy get on my nerves, they make for incredible housewives scenes. And this is a great season. Them getting on my nerves is really adding value to the season for me as a viewer because I'm enjoying it and feeling the emotions.

I'm happy. I'm just talking about the ways that they piss me off. That's all. I'm happy. I don't want nobody fired. I like this cast. And we about to add.

Oh, so let's get into it. So Raindrops, before we let you guys go, we have to get into the mid-season trailer of Roni. Listen, in the event. Hey, Tisha, in the event.

Okay, that.

You never watch Wendy Williams' talk show, okay? That was iconic. This woman, Devin Simone, I'm familiar with her, Dustin, strictly off of her appearing on Wendy and instantly will fall in love with her. She's like a matchmaker.

Yeah, yeah.

Beautiful woman. She is now joining this season as a friend to the show. We saw some snippets of her in the trailer. I'm intrigued, but Dustin, give us your thoughts on the Roni mid-season trailer.

It looked good.

It looked like more of the same with the perfect addition of new energy via the Devin Simone young lady, right?

Young, fresh, beautiful, articulate.

She seems like she's up front and she says what she thinks, which is a currency in this housewife's face.

I even like how she.

Was looking back and forth during an argument at the end of the trailer. She just seems to know how to add value. And apparently, I don't remember this because I think she came on after I had stopped watching the real world religiously like that, but she's a real world alum.

She is?

Yeah. Devin Simone is a real world alum. Yep. So what a trajectory. What a way to pick up the ball and never drop it.

You go from being on the real world to now working as a matchmaker to the point where you're being featured on, you know, daytime TV in that way.

It's hard to get those spots. You know, Carlos.

Now transitioning into a featured friend of on this season of Roni in this new iteration, what a perfect time for her to infiltrate this cast. And I foresee her become, even though we ain't even seen her on camera full time yet, just based off of what I've seen, she has what it takes on the outside and apparently on the inside too, the way she chiggity checked Psy at that table in the mid-season trailer. but apparently she has what it takes. I foresee her growing within the franchise.

She's young.

Yes, I agree with you. From what I've seen, I definitely would not be surprised. Listen, y'all doing the most. It was only a mid-season trailer. Leave us alone.

Yeah, so what?

We see potential.

That's right.

I would not be surprised if next season she gets an apple.

Me either.

The cast is great. I don't want no one getting fired.

Me either.

Plus Carol, like, I love the cast.

Carol is necessary. She's perfect.

What did she say that had me rolling in this episode when they went to the final dinner or whatever?

And she was like, I don't understand the gowns. She was like, we're on this deserted island. I don't understand the gowns. That shit was funny.

Which is so funny to me because, listen, you know this being a viewer. I know this producing the show. All housewives across all cities... I don't get it, but I mean, I get it in the sense of I know why they're doing it.

Yeah.

Dressing up in gowns and full beat to look at each other at dinner.

From your room to the backyard. Yeah.

In real life, no one's doing that.

No, we're in pajamas.

If we have on any clothes at all, to be honest with you, we're in pajamas.

Because at that point, private island, private parts. I'm going to be butt ass naked. We're moving around, okay? Okay, shit. That's the whole point of the privacy. You know what I'm saying?

Party with Dustin.

That's right, shit. We outside talking shit.

You remember in Baby Boy when old boy was cooking that breakfast naked, making him eggs. You want something to eat? We on a private island. You know what I'm saying?

Raindrops, another black factoid for y'all. I love it. We're going to add a Baby Boy. Baby Boy is a BET licensed. They have a license to beat the BET.

Lifetime licensing, apparently, for the duration of who, as long as BET is around.

They're going to be playing Baby Boy.

Yes, it stars Tyrese and Taraji P.

Henson.

Now, But I agree with Dustin. I'm here for the mid-season trailer. We see Erica get activated.

Yes, we do. And I loved it. Thank God. Yes. Yes. She was leaning across that table going to fuck off with the wet look.

Daisy walks off, screams at a producer.

Mm-hmm. And Devin, I heard Devin say, bye, Forrest. Did you hear that? Yes. Yes. I'm talking about Forrest Gump. And that's a white reference.

Talking about Forrest Gump okay there you go yes she sure did she said run along Forrest or something like that so look we got a lot more good episodes to come I know that I knew this season was starting off promising and so far these have been great episodes Roni has a cast that is working very well to me right now I.

Agree I agree. I agree. No, another stellar episode. Raindrops, you will see us next week recapping it. Dustin will be back on Monday for Monday Night Live.

But he has a.
