Noah and Aidan are back with one of their favorite Bravo franchises, The Real Housewives of Potomac, and they’re diving straight into the Season 10 premiere. The Grande Dame may be missing this season but Potomac hasn’t lost its drama or spark quite yet.
The hosts break down how the group fares without Karen Huger’s presence, their thoughts on the takedown of Stacey Rusch, why both Ashley Darby and Keiarna Stewart are likely on borrowed time in the franchise and what to make of the two new Housewives Angel (who has a very fine husband) and Tia.

Welcome back, note takers. This is Aiden, and I am not the new housewife on the Real Housewives of Potomac.
SPEAKER_02Oh, and this is Noah Aaron, and I am not surfing a sentence in jail. Anymore, anymore. I've never been to jail.
SPEAKER_00But we all know what we all know what happens after that. After that visit, after that.
SPEAKER_02They can check the database. I've never been to a pita pit, first of all. Let's get that straight.
SPEAKER_00Neither have I. I've only learned about that when Jamie Lee Curtis, not Jamie Lee Curtis. When Jamie Lynn Smith was turning up and what?
SPEAKER_02No, I I think I saw Jamie Lee Curtis up in a PETA pit with a knife, too.
SPEAKER_00No, baby. She was just there plugging Activia. She was plugging Activia. Don't lie on her.
SPEAKER_02She was running for Michael. She's running for Michael.
SPEAKER_00Don't lie on her. She would just try to sell her Activia, bitch. But this episode, we are not talking about Activia. We are getting into the Real Housewives of Potomac, which, if you have been listening along for a little minute, because we've, you know, we've been in business for a Q little moment now, but you would come to know that the Real Housewives of Potomac are both of our favorites. So we are both very excited. And I've been saying that the lol and bravo is over. The favorite children are home. Salt Lake is on, Potomac is on. We're officially back. And I'm liking what I see. I mean, Potomac usually comes out strong with a premiere. I will say it wasn't as strong as Salt Lake, but I'm liking the skeleton of the season, except this better not be Stacy gets dragged the whole time. I don't have the patience for it. I'm already over it.
SPEAKER_02I mean, based off this first episode and the pr and the preview for what's coming up on the rest of the season, that's what it looks like it's gonna be.
SPEAKER_00And that's why I'm a little annoyed. That's why I'm a little annoyed. Because I don't even think we get Monique the halfway. And then from there we get to try to fuck Chris Samuels. So obviously Monique will be against her. She has no ally on the cast, it seems. The new girl, well, the new girl, one's Kiana's friend. The other one. She seems like she's just gonna be neutral. She's gonna be like the nice one, but we'll see.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So I'm just accepted. It's not looking good for Spacey Stacy. It's not looking good for Spacey Stacy. I know. Stacey's shown this episode that she can take it, both in the confessionals and in person. Because she had two moments where I think she gagged people. The first was against Kearna. Well, Kiarna was trying to make up this whole stir about Stacy lying. Pretty much everyone's mad about the last season. Which, if you don't watch Potomac, then you need to know that Stacy brought this game in on as her fake boyfriend last season. And everyone's kind of mad about it. That's kind of the storyline for this season. Like, did you pay him? Did you not? He claimed that, you know, she was supposed to pay him. He never saw a set. Honestly, I think if she did enter an agreement that he doesn't deserve a cent because he did not seem convincing in the role of a boyfriend. I said it on TikTok, I will say it again today. Like on your viewing partner said it best the moment that he came up on the screen. And then he wore that sheer see-through shirt. Like he was fresh out of Wii How on Watch What Happens Live.
SPEAKER_01He would have fit right in and ridiculous.
SPEAKER_00That was so ridiculous.
SPEAKER_02That kind of pissed me off. I'm not gonna lie. I wouldn't even wear that on Pride Weekend. Just his lack of effort to stick to the gag, you know. That's what pissed me off. I was like, you're not even trying. You're not even trying.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, we guys are getting gagged for a second season. For a second season.
SPEAKER_02I know, but yeah, it definitely seemed like this premiere episode for sure was like the house versus Stacy. Um because it seems like yeah, everyone had a problem with her. It definitely feels like I feel like there's a few things. I feel like A, Ashley is kind of trying to like. I don't know, she's like she's not like trying to flex or re-establish herself or whatever in the group, and like maybe maybe with Karen gone, she's feeling a little extra hot or whatever, a little bit extra big and bad.
SPEAKER_00But it feels like the number one.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and I feel like she's kind of like she she wants to pick on Stacy though, because I feel like she thinks that Stacy's gonna be like it's just gonna take it the whole time, you know. Um which clearly she's wrong because she she can gather Ashley.
SPEAKER_00Um you need to be googling up some singing lessons. Which she does.
SPEAKER_02Literally, literally. Um but yeah, I just feel like it definitely feels like Ashley is trying to just like pick on Stacy thinking that she can. Like it's like, oh, this is gonna be the one I can get away with fucking with. Um, and then Kiarna, I mean, she's gonna have issues with Stacey, um, as well as Wendy. It it seems like Kiarna's coming in hot as hell because she just like hotter than Stacy's breath, to be honest.
SPEAKER_00Um Well, too many people said things that you know that could have, you know, that kind of validated that Stacey's breath is probably a little hot. Once the new girl said something that was a little tired, I was like, ooh. She seems like a nice lady. She would have just pile on just to pile up.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, no, I believe that I believe that she has some breath issues, and I believe that it could be coming from her lower stomach as Giselle said.
SPEAKER_00Um production editor that burp. They wanted you to know.
SPEAKER_02Right. But I definitely was.
SPEAKER_00Maybe she's on GLP ones.
SPEAKER_02Maybe, maybe. I mean she needs to be. I mean, I guess she's already damn skinny, but uh I feel like definitely, because you and I have talked about it, how Kiarna kind of has been like a little bit flat so far in her housewives journey. So I'm wondering if she got a very serious talking to in between last season and this season about like you need to step it up, you are not giving main, you were not giving full time, you need to like you're about to get fired.
SPEAKER_00I know that morgan with that new condo was fresh.
SPEAKER_02So right. One thing yes, that's what it's giving because she came in fucking hot this premiere episode, and based on the previews, it looks like she is determined to like have an issue with Wendy. She's determined to have that fallout storyline with her, she's determined to have an issue with Stacey, with a new girl. Like she it seems like she's just determined to have an issue with everybody.
SPEAKER_00It's like they told her to turn it up, but she doesn't exactly know how. But this is definitely the behavior of somebody who got put on a performance improvement plan and got told yes, go be fired real soon. I don't know if they were trying to want to make her like the spicy one, like the candlest, but she doesn't have the range. I do think that K can hold her own, but I think you know, I think she's a Baltimore girl. I think she's used to, you know, using her fists. So this might be a new territory for her. But unfortunately, her friend might take her spot because she introduced to us Angel, the new one of the two new housewives, and she's funny, she's giving us good confessional moments, she has loose connections to like most of the girls, a lovely house, a fine husband. So, I mean Kiara got that unfortunate looking friend. So it's just like okay. You're not really given much personality-wise. The condo's cute, I guess, but we we just got that on the third or fourth season. We known you.
SPEAKER_02Right.
SPEAKER_00And Angel's given all of us that in 42 minutes.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, no, I definitely, I uh based on the premiere and like what we saw in the previous, I definitely I'm like an angel. I think she's gonna be a good addition this season. Um I'm you know, I f I find her husband very interesting. Um he might replace Ray Huger as you know as my home wrecking goal.
SPEAKER_00Um Angel thinks she can fight and she will fight, so be careful with that.
SPEAKER_02I guess yeah, I'm not dealing with uh Nashie's about to swing me talking about this ain't Carrie. This ain't Carrie.
SPEAKER_00This ain't the Grand Dawn She might take a private jet to Crescent City.
SPEAKER_02Oh Lord. I mean, yeah, but Angel.
SPEAKER_00Sorry.
SPEAKER_02Angel definitely seems like she could she can give it. And I also I'm curious, because like what did you think of our of our new friend of it's Tia, right?
SPEAKER_00No, I think she's a full-time housewife. I don't know if she's just a friend.
SPEAKER_02She is. She is a she she is full-time.
SPEAKER_00You you try to lie on this lady name already. She was given friend, she was given friend. She was giving because she didn't really get an intro scene or get introduced, or kind of you know, get a scene in her house like Angel did. So we kind of just see her showing up to the event and reacting to things. Which was so funny. We we see her kind of walk into the argument between Stacey and Ashley with Sharif. She's kind of just like, oh, what's going on here? But I was calculating her British accent in the background. Like, y'all are not listening to each other. Well, they're going at it. Like, well, clearly not, they're screaming. So she clearly got it too getting herself into, I think, quite early. But I get a classy, nice posh vibe. I get real money, real esteem. She said that she was um a Nigerian princess but grew up in London. So I'm just like, there's definitely some blood money there. So the wealth is real, but it's probably like, you know, like Michael Darby's money, his Somalia money, like a little war-torn, I'll say. Probably. Yeah. But I have to guess.
SPEAKER_02We'll see. But I have to guess. So w Yeah. So with her being, you know, the unalegended Nigerian princess, do you think Wendy's gonna hate her for no good reason?
SPEAKER_00I guess I guess we'll see there. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02I guess we would have seen it.
SPEAKER_00I feel like she comes across with more pedigree than NECA and probably wasn't doing as much social climbing as NECA.
SPEAKER_02So positive. I guess if I guess if Wendy was gonna bully her, we would have seen it in the prefield.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it's also like it seems like more mature. Like NECA was obviously going for her first baby, while it seems like this one and probably it's like more older children. She seems like more further along, like more established that maybe Wendy will see something out of a connection with her, or she just like moves different. But I can definitely see it being the same. But also, Wendy has her hands full with beefing with Kiana right now, so she's not really this add-on foes. Wendy will just want to deal with the one right there.
SPEAKER_02When I did kind of I did kind of cackle at when Wendy came into after that and was hugged everybody, and she stopped and looked at Angel, like she paused. It literally reminded me of fucking Nene when she went to hug the love doctor and was like, like she was like, Right?
SPEAKER_00Which was a fun a fun, you know, moment, but they did overlap at college, Angel and Wendy. But they both clarified that it was like one, they both went to Temple, which is a pretty big school, and like Wendy was maybe a senior when Angel was a freshman.
SPEAKER_02So Angel made it clear with that phage line. With that phage line, she was several years older than me. So as she was leaving, I was coming in.
SPEAKER_00I think it was Shady. Wendy was a little tasteful, but she kind of mentioned that Wendy would be walking around in power suits, like strutting around. I'm like, that sounds awful. That sounds right. That's what that's what I imagine Wendy would be like in college.
SPEAKER_02That sounds like the Wendy, the Wendy I know. Um Wendy was talking about five eboards in college.
SPEAKER_00I could see it there.
SPEAKER_02I know. She, I mean, Wendy's just an icon, but yeah, I I love that connection. Like, like you mentioned earlier, that like Angel kind of has like some loose connection to most of the ladies in the group. I like that because Angel's inclusion does feel very like natural, you know. It does not feel it doesn't feel forced. Like this definitely this feels like a group of girls that she would hang with, you know.
SPEAKER_00Exactly. I don't you can tell that her and Kiana are like real friends and go back. They said they've known each other since they were like 13. 18. So, yeah. Yeah. Or 18 rather, so they have some history there. While it seems like Tia was definitely cast for the show. Like, I don't exactly know Giselle. She's talking about we met her an event. We both raised twins, so it's like, okay, girl, but she was cast, but I think it was a good casting wherever they found her.
SPEAKER_02For sure, for sure. And I think just based off the previews and what we saw of her, I feel like obviously, you know, she's gonna get into it a little bit, but I also feel like she's gonna give us a lot of fun scenes. Like, that's the vibe I got, is that she's gonna give us like fun moments. Yeah, she's gonna like I feel like she seems like a girl that like knows how to like have a good time, party, have fun, be funny, and have a sense of humor and everything. Like, she seems like that type of girl.
SPEAKER_00Right. And I feel like she could host a hell of a trip. Maybe that's just me and the accent being a little fooled, but I don't know. She thinks she has some coins. She mentioned growing up Posh, having some Rolls Royce, so I thought she would host a hell of a trip at an event. Yeah. And after dealing with Robin Dixon's foyer field day, I think we need an upgrade. We need an upgrade.
SPEAKER_02Well, you know, Angel seems like the type of host that like should she would she would have like a nice like gift basket or something in your in your room ready for you with like cement and maybe something to drink. Um so as far as I guess as far as like kind of like how the episode began with kind of our focus on like how the ladies are feeling without Karen and about like with her not being present, obviously, on the show, but they didn't say that as much because obviously, you know, fourth wall, but they more so talked about like the fact that she's like locked up and in jail. Um, how did you kind of feel about how they touched on the absence of the grand dome?
SPEAKER_00I mean, I think it was right because the trailer itself is kind of an ode to her. We kind of see Giselle regaling the tale. And we also got the brief little shot of Karen, you know, being sentenced, kind of coming out. So they do address it, but I do think it was right, and then we kind of have the group get at it and talk about it. But I wish they talked about it a little bit more. They just got right to jump in Stacey. Like, I would have appreciated some more context. Like Kiara adding on that, like, oh no, this isn't like Martha Stewart Country Club prison. This is like, you know, county jail. Like getting more context from them or like what they heard, what they knew would have been helpful, but they have to get right to the T. But I'm sure the girls probably coordinated, like, okay, we're we're jumping still at Rise, right? Like, that's why it's today. They seem very ready to ready to jump, Stacey.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah, oh yeah. There was definitely there was definitely a dinner before filming.
SPEAKER_00Oh, you know, definitely a dinner. Definitely we're getting we're getting this bitch up out of here.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, for sure, for sure. And I hope she stays just to spite them. I hope she continues to rise as she asks.
SPEAKER_00I think she will. She'll continue being aloof, not giving them what they want. Is that the opposite of Candace? Well, Candace will give you a rhythm of tata. Stacey's gonna find a way to spin it and make it look like she's confused. Doesn't know what to talk about. The thing is, like, I am on Stacey's side and I like her, and I'm becoming more of a fan because they're jumping her, but she's lying her ass off to these people.
SPEAKER_01I'll be like, girl, she's lying her ass off.
SPEAKER_00Ashley was straight up, was like, I want to know the truth, yes. And Stacey's like, you want to know the truth? Okay, I'll tell you the truth. And I'll lie her ass off. Yes, I'm divorced. Yes, I'm divorced. Girl, you know you're not divorced. But Ashley's also not the person to be asking this line of not to give him the line of questioning. It's like it's kind of crazy. Here's my thing with Stacey. Sarah Government's going to the UN, like, um, do you see what's going on?
SPEAKER_02Well, I think well, my thing with like Stacey and like kind of like some of the stuff they're talking here with, like, they one of the things that like one of the bombs they dropped is they're they're claiming that TJ is suing her and that they saw receipts and everything and screenshots.
SPEAKER_00From a random actress and just out couldn't get screenshots somehow. We can't even name the actress.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well, that's the thing. And it's like, what sends me is that they want us to believe this because I honestly don't believe it. Um, I really don't, because I feel like it's like, okay, so Ashley can sit around looking in databases to find out, like to confirm whether or not Stacey's actually divorced, but they can't pull up any record or any indication that there's like a lawsuit pending that there is an active lawsuit in process or because that's very easy to pull up. If anything, I think that's easier to pull up than like whether or not someone's married or divorced or the legal status of their union.
SPEAKER_00And did I say that you saw like plaintiff and defendant listed, which again doesn't give credence to things, lawsuits are like filed publicly, which what I'm thinking is that he may be like filed petition or drafted the things right up until you filed for a court. Like maybe he paid a lawyer for some time, got a consultation, did that, and was turning around as kind of like a threat as T. But clearly there was a lawsuit. Like I feel like you know, one of them fucking real like the son would have made an article, one of these Instagram page blogging journalism outlets would have done something, you know? Like reality T. Like somebody would have had an exclusive.
SPEAKER_02Right, that's the thing. And also just like The Shade Room, then talk yeah, and then talking about TJ having receipts, but like he hasn't provided them, and I feel like at this point, if he hasn't provided them, yeah, he's not going to. You know.
SPEAKER_00I was wondering who this messy ass actress is that who wanted to get involved in the T, but want to put her in the room.
SPEAKER_02But then also but then also wanted, yeah, make sure that Giselle, like, please, Giselle, do not mention my fucking name.
SPEAKER_00I mean if it's like a smaller time, like black actress who'll be doing like Hallmark shit of mostly like black famous, or for somebody that's really big who just wants to be messy. Well, so they're definitely black.
SPEAKER_02Um but yeah, no, I don't know. My thing is like I definitely don't think that stays like that.
SPEAKER_00I'm just gonna believe it's Lisa Ray. I'm just gonna believe it's Lisa Ray. I don't know. Diamond, okay, okay, diamond, okay, diamond.
SPEAKER_02Um she's gonna whoop your ass for that.
SPEAKER_00Um the people of the game islands are gonna whoop her ass for what she did. Oh, I'm that's first lady.
SPEAKER_02Cool. But um, I just that's my thing with Stacey's. I definitely think she's lying about things, but I don't think she's guilty of like every like accusation they're throwing out there. I think they really are trying to throw everything but the kitchen sink at her to try to get her off the show and scare her away and like get her to back down. And I just don't believe all of it, honestly, especially coming from Ashley and Giselle. Those aren't exactly credible sources, right?
SPEAKER_00And like, why is she a new target? Y'all just don't like her that bad. Y'all not the fan got endeared to her. Like, I just want to know the why behind it. Cause it's not like like the rest of the girls, you see, they came for Giselle, her neck, her ankles, all that. So you kind of see why she's like on the defense. But Stacey just came in being all spacey and whatnot. Like, of all people who should be mad, it should maybe be Wendy. Because she's trying to infringe upon her business, but Wendy ain't even mad like that. Wendy kind of Wendy treats Stacy like an annoying little sibling, like I feel like. Yeah, like she's just kind of like whatever, bitch.
SPEAKER_02Well, it's kinda like well, it's kind of like the same thing where it's like kind of the same energy that Wendy had for Karen in last season's finale when they were revealing that Karen had talked shit about Wendy to Stacy, like before filming or whatever. Um, and Wendy was like, I I mean, whatever, I'm not surprised by that. Um but yeah, I I agree with you because I definitely feel like Giselle's hatred of Stacy really confuses me. Because like I said with Ashley, I feel like at least with Ashley, like she's trying to like flex and look bad and everything and pick on some and have somebody to pick on or whatever or go after. Um, but Giselle, it's just so random because I feel like just based off of everything that happened last season, I was just shocked at how hot Giselle came in. Because Giselle was being downright hateful to Stacy at last season's reunion, and it felt just out of nowhere. And even Stacy seemed confused by it.
SPEAKER_00I mean, I was confused too. I think they were just like, okay, she's a new target, but maybe Giselle's not used to someone not giving her the ammo to her mean girl shit. Because usually, you know, Candace blew up, Monique blew up, Mia was just Mia. Yeah. But Stacey wasn't gonna give you what the other Dolph Street gave you. So maybe she just doesn't know now, so she looks even crazier, but it looks tragic. It looks real. It looks real bad. And Stacey, she plays right, can come out being a super fan favorite. But also all the lion might catch up to her, but I think it's innocuous enough that the audience doesn't care because I don't give a fuck. Quayaks, I feel like like at least she's gonna be like. Giselle thought of all their men that she wasn't dating onto the show anyway. Sherman wasn't your man. Sherman was a young man. The Summerhouse boy was a young man.
SPEAKER_02One thing is that like when other girls are. Well, a lot of times when like Giselle, Mia, Ashley, like when a lot of these other girls lie, they like tell very defamatory lies against each other that could like ruin people's marriages, fuck up their lives, fuck with their careers, their money, and everything like that. Like they tell really defamatory, like intense lies about each other. Like if Stacy just wants to have a fucking fake boyfriend and like lie about her like a little bit about her life, like very like you said, like very innocuous type shit. Like it's like it's really not, it doesn't feel like that big of a deal in comparison to what some of these other women have lied about and and like how they've lied on each other.
SPEAKER_00Right? And I just feel like there's more about Stacy to dive into. Like, what was you up to with Detroit, bitch? Why'd you do QVC? You get you got fired?
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_00I mean that's what they're alluding to, but I don't know. I think Stacy's good for the show and interesting. Maybe they should stop being haters. But how do you think when she popped up on her little German man, her baby daddy, her husband, not husband, allegedly ex husband.
SPEAKER_02Ex husband, whatever he's supposed to be. I mean, I was just like, oh Stacy. Oh Stacy girl. Um because like it was just so weird to me. like their little sit-down and everything and how like heavy they were laying on the romance of it all.
SPEAKER_00Um I think Stacy was trying to enjoy that man was just trying to enjoy an Indian meal.
SPEAKER_02That's it, yeah, he just wanted a nice succulent meal. Um but like I don't know it was just weird to me especially that they described it of like as soon as our legal divorce like went through or whatever we were officially legally divorced we reconnected I'm like this is just weird to me. I don't know it feels very weird.
SPEAKER_00He felt we I don't know it's giving business arrangement sugar daddy something it's giving something maybe Jason wanted to get him camera ready because he didn't see him camera ready he gives me like this from this one scene he's got somebody that would not want to be on camera like by choice.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah well at first man that would be like we were the opposite of TJ clambered for a moment yeah one thing though he definitely would hide from the camera I feel I almost thought like when they were shout like when it went to commercial break before she had her sit down with him when it was showing the preview of it like you couldn't see his face and the shot and angle and everything and like at first when like the scene first started you couldn't see I was like are they like shooting are they gonna shoot the whole scene in a way where you can't actually see his face but then they showed his face I was like oh okay but like at first I literally thought his face was not gonna appear on camera.
SPEAKER_00Right? No it seems like he seems interesting but yeah definitely dodging the cameras definitely a bit of a not as evil as one but doesn't want to be in the mix of it.
SPEAKER_02Doesn't want to be in the mix yeah just someone that doesn't want to be on TV and I like and the thing is like I we don't really have enough on him yet for me to know if it's like a Juan situation where he doesn't want to be on TV and on camera because he's doing nasty shit behind the scenes and he doesn't want to really get the attention or is he just someone who just doesn't want to be on TV you know and because I mean that's the thing is like what watching reality TV we're so used to seeing people who are fucking desperate to be on television sometimes you know we're a little taken aback when we see somebody who like doesn't necessarily want to be on TV or doesn't necessarily care to be on TV.
SPEAKER_00Right? And also not to be too like stereotypical but I feel like what you think of when you think of like a German person the last thing I think of is like perfect personality for reality television you know obviously they have series on TV over there but like a very serious German businessman like I'll pull up he is the senior vice president of sales operations at Audi which you know it's enough to have a page on the website. I don't know if they just do that for everyone or like their corporate structure but seems like he's established in his career and you know a senior VP. He's probably just navigating a certain way in a way that like Michael Darby didn't have to because he was more of an entrepreneur and just also evil but you know but still like I want to know more about him and Stacy.
SPEAKER_02Which is why I'm kind of like so pro Stacy's I'm just intrigued by her like Yeah overall I just I don't know a lot about German culture and their celebrity and whatnot but they the vibe I get is they definitely don't do as much fame whoring as Americans do.
SPEAKER_00Or that we know of that we know of I mean whenever they brought a few people from German reality TV over onto the challenge which of course they have they just seem very like practical pragmatic and not very over the top. Although one of the girls Colleen when I went to check her page at some point they were dragging her in German like a bunch of German comments eating her up and I would hit the translate button and they were calling her fake and violent all this so it was something and when I went to look it up apparently they were they had like some kind of love show where it's kind of like the split take the money or take the love thing and she took the money they were eating her up so so they they got something they got something they got something going on they got something going on that's funny.
SPEAKER_02Um but yeah no I agree with you I definitely want to learn more about Stacey and that's that's the beauty of a show like this is if a bitch is in a wet is living in a web of lies if they're making shit up if they're putting up a front about like their life or their past or whatever if they stay on these house if they stay on Bravo long enough it's all gonna come unraveled. Like we're gonna find out so I feel like if these I feel like if these ladies are so determined Todd if these ladies are so determined to see Stacy exposed for who she really is they shouldn't be trying to chase her off the show. They should be trying to keep her on the show.
SPEAKER_00Right at least go to QVC and ask if anybody got tea on her over there because I mean you don't really hear tea about these QVC hosts.
SPEAKER_02But I'm sure Bra was way more of a payday but aside from Stacy is there anyone else you're very intrigued by the season or you're looking forward to their storyline I mean we already talked about Angel not necessarily looking forward to her storyline but just looking forward to like her getting to know her better and like seeing kind of what she can give. I'm curious to see what Dr. Wendy's gonna give us this season. I'm a little concerned I don't want her to be just like kissing Giselle's ass this season and not be everything and maybe and launching another fake business or something.
SPEAKER_00Alright I was thank God we're not starting a new venture on episode one I was so happy to see nothing new.
SPEAKER_02It's like the same thankfully she's thankfully she's not in Eddie's pockets right now. They were talking about the home reno with the with the freaking happy eddy money she already spent it she's already spending that happy eddie money I mean yeah I'm curious to see I think I I'm curious to see kind of where we go with Ashley this season I guess because like I said like it seems like she's wanting to kind of move back into a bigger role it seems like but I I just don't know if she's going to be able to or what it's gonna look like for her.
SPEAKER_00I'm obviously really interested to if nobody keeps her in check. Because season one Robin ain't here and Candace ain't here to bring up her forehead every five fucking minutes. The other thing the reason Asky was so fucking muted was because she knew Candace would stay on her ass. Right here she can kind of like tiptoe back into that spot. But I don't know if Angel will let her angel seems on her neck already which I am here for. Right. Because there were two angels under her confessional one just bringing up the Ashley used to be her bottle which I thought was the funniest throwback of all time I was like yep yep and she may try to mention it again she may try to mention it again.
SPEAKER_02Yeah so no she clearly gets the game but yeah I think Angel does somebody needs to right she definitely has Ashley's number um I'm also curious you know I'm basic I'm curious to see what happens when Monique comes back even though even though it's obvious they brought her in just to spice things up and who knows what we're actually gonna get um I feel like the sit down with her and Giselle is probably gonna be so fucking like staged and they probably had a discussion about what it was going to entail at the time.
SPEAKER_00Oh yeah no Wendy and Monique had all this fucking drama Wendy was new to the show and Monique got iced out halfway through the fucking season after they've seen each other like five times including the reunion.
SPEAKER_02Yeah yeah so I don't know like I'm curious to see what Monique I I'm like I'm hoping that it's gonna be really good when Monique comes back but I have a feeling it's gonna be underwhelming honestly like I really don't think it's gonna be much of anything she's probably just gonna show up be at a few events interact with the girls and everything but I feel like it's probably not gonna give much I'm excited to see what she's been up to but already getting the precursor that she's gonna be up against Stacy likely or that that's what they're trying to hint at already so that she's not gonna shift up the that the that she's not gonna shift the that the that oh my god I can't fucking speak today. That she's not gonna you know change up how the group operates like it might be everyone jumping Stacy once again yeah I I feel like honestly I don't think she's gonna necessarily go hard on Stacy. Like I feel like they want us to think that based on the preview of her being like oh well my ex-husband that that's what we're not doing today. Like I feel like they want us to think she's gonna like go off on Stacy thing but I really don't think she's going to I think she might like shade Stacy a little bit but I think overall she's gonna kind of sit there. Well I mean it's better than beating somebody up so she has not gonna I think I I don't want to see Stacy around she's just gonna be too focused on the walrus as she calls her oh lord I would be I I would be really curious to see because I mean Sharice did pop up in this first episode I really is she an official friend or is she just walking around at events like she left well according to Wikipedia and the way she's credited on there she's currently listed as a guest. So I don't know if she's popping up at events I think like how Katie showed up to that one little thing got some lines yeah so I don't think Sharice is gonna be like going on any trips or anything like that. Um but I think Jazzy's an official friend I see her in the trailer but we haven't seen her yet so on Wikipedia she is listed as a friend yes okay then Jazzy's an official friend who I like her I'm glad to see her back.
SPEAKER_00I thought she brought interesting energy I liked her more than Kay in terms of like vibe I wouldn't be surprised to find out she actually doesn't live in Potomac because she's chasing her journeyman husband around wherever he gets signed. So I don't know yes if it's not Potomac I would not be surprised but I didn't like what you asked in the giving and I hope she comes again because most most of these girls don't live in Potomac well yeah Angel does at least yeah I don't know what Potter it's probably nice it's probably nice um but I don't it really I don't know why it's it's because I'm a New Yorker I like I just hate seeing the condos in the apartments.
SPEAKER_02Like bitch this is not Rony get a house oh I get a house get a get a beautiful get a house you can have a house and you can have a beach house that's it like this is win a case if you want an apartment be a roanie I'm not trying to see these cramped ass living quarters I can look around and get that speaking of the I'm speaking of picky bits but nope but I don't blame you for it though because I feel like that's part of like that's part of the appeal of watching Housewives is you want to see bitches like live lifestyles and engage in activities that like we don't normally get to do.
SPEAKER_00Like there has to be a certain level of aspiration exactly like this is a regular ass condo in a non-New York City now if that was our condo in New York it'd be a it'd be a gag but yeah that's your condo in boo Bowie Maryland in general Potomac doesn't really give us a lot of wealth point that's true. But maybe maybe that our our good sis um Tia is here to save that right be any money Ashley has allegedly this divorce settlement which I don't think she got anything because one you saw how they tried to lie and make it seem like it was 20 million because they just mentioned Michael's net worth but that means at maximum she's getting 10 million of his net worth but I'm assuming that's it's all cash and shit. And we know Michael's shady ass bitch.
SPEAKER_02So he probably has his stuff tied up in like trusts and schemes and whatnot I wanted to mention you actually got a sneaky and some child support based off of some like you know W-2 earnings that are not his full salary like I think she got snapped and she don't want to tell us but that's my opinion oh yeah no I agree I think her I think she handled her divorce terribly um and then I also because I've seen I've seen people on social media being like Monique is gonna bring the wealth back to Potomac I'm like do you what do y'all think her situation is now I'm just saying like now she's not with big boy anymore. Well not to think I feel like Chris is the opposite of uh Michael that Chris would probably still be paying the mortgage without any Monique maybe not live as large she might have to scale back on the essential oils and you know come back to the show but I don't think he would move as I don't think he would move Monique to a sweat box like Michael I I definitely yeah no I definitely think like Monique's gonna be in like a like a nice house and everything but uh I feel like Chris would pay for it for the kids yeah I you is she in the same house I thought she would I mean I I wouldn't be she's probably not like I wouldn't be surprised like I wouldn't ask Chris like he seemed like the type like if they're not together he gave me like this like family man like he sees yeah I could see it but I just yeah that thing is I just don't think they have the four homes you can pick one well I just don't think I think people shouldn't get their hopes up that like Monique is gonna come back on and give us all that extravagance that she was giving us on her initial run.
SPEAKER_00Well I feel like she still drinks $200 wine but we'll see. I mean if she could afford another fucking parrot I don't think those are cheap. I'm gonna ask Google right now how much those parrots cost. How much you can just get an African gray parrot I don't think you can just I don't think they give them out on you know buy now pay later you can't quarter that well luckily for her it's it's tiny as hell you don't have to pay for some big coffin when she inevitably has to bury it.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god oh they only well I'm saying only but they're from a thousand to three thousand I don't know why that's gonna be the $5,000 range it's it's something more exotic than being well that's the thing it's like a thousand to three thousand obviously neither of us would be paying for that for like a pet but I mean as far as exotic pets go for like the wealthy that's actually not terrible that's not crazy. I'm sure one of those sharks costs more than that like the raccoon I'm very curious what happened with that raccoon but neither here nor there I feel like I I feel like that raccoon bit one of her other pets and gave it rabies and she doesn't want to tell us what we're talking about just Google Monique Samuel's raccoon. At some point she found a raccoon rescued it had brought it upside into her house she swears she's like Snow White that can fight into the I mean the thing is like if you you can Google Monique Samuel's name and then put in like any like wild ass animal and you're gonna get you are you're gonna get you're gonna get like a social media post like a video of and it's literally just gonna be some wild ass animal in Monique's kitchen.
SPEAKER_00You're gonna hear her laugh in the background and those big ass dogs you don't know how to train oh god those dogs especially I'm not gonna lie especially around her small children some of those dogs she had scared me yeah and if you don't if you don't if you want more on this you have to scroll way back but we have a whole episode about Monique Samuels and her series of unfortunate events with her pets I mean the episode is called Monique Samuels and her dead pets or is it called Pet Cemetery? It's one of the two I don't know but it's it's legally it is a hypothesis into why Candace made those remarks to watch what happens live. It is not us making those claims it is us analyzing Candace's claim.
SPEAKER_02I mean I will say that while I can't prove it I do believe in my opinion allegedly that Big Boy sat on that pair girl weren't you looking up the other day about essential oils for your cat?
SPEAKER_00And we know Monique loves essential oil so I always assumed it was in that territory.
SPEAKER_02I wouldn't I would never put an essential oil on my damn cat. Not on the cat, but weren't you looking at diffuser or something you were like oh shit I don't know if it's safe so well yeah no oh yeah because I was I was um yeah because I was looking at specifically getting because like they make diffuser scents and everything that are like pet safe because like a lot of the a lot most of the regular ones aren't they're like toxic.
SPEAKER_00By the taste of your lips I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_02Well because like it releases particles in the air and it gets on your pets fur and then they lick themselves and they like poison themselves basically is what happens well that's unfortunate yeah in the words of Candace that's unfortunate dropped well I don't think I mean I'm I'm it probably depends on because I think there are some I think there are some oils that are like very like heavily toxic and poisonous to certain animals and I think there are other ones that aren't necessarily like they're not gonna like if they're not gonna like get a little bit on their tongue and then die but like over time especially if they're like repeatedly exposed to it they're gonna get sick.
SPEAKER_00It's like a slow bird and I heard like certain pans give off like a chemical or toxin that's not good for birds either like it's it could be a series of unfortunate events. You can leave on the ceiling pretty much when that when that bird died there were a lot of theories on the internet let's just say that of how of what happened. Right there was Chris Gate there was the ceiling fan essential oils the pan he ran away back to Africa back to what I mean if you will I mean my my definitely my preferred theory is that Chris style that bird that's my preferred theory but don't you believe it's highly plausible I'm not doing this with you see but see see but you know what Yahweh the the moment we are off this recording he's gonna agree with me but I you won't make me look evil so bad I well Stacy I just don't think you're being honest. Now I'm Stacy you're Stacy the better brave my way out of shit and be so bad people are bringing it up again like didn't I wee saw my way out of this in New York now we're doing it together Potomac speaking of Stacy speaking of Stacy you think she was hollering at big boy at least my car tight I can strangely see them together.
SPEAKER_02I think I think it can be kind of cute I don't know I'm curious I mean I don't know because it's kind of like at this point with like the whole TJ of it all and the fact that she's like involved with her with her allegedly ex-husband and everything like I don't it just feels like I'm like girl it seems like she's busy enough she doesn't have time for big boy too right don't you she's like maybe trying to work it out with her ex-husband I don't know what things got going on but I feel like I feel like if anything maybe she had like a flirtatious moment or like met him or something like took a picture with him at some point like Charice did um and then oh maybe that's what Monique is so bad about. Maybe it's a misdirected she's talking about Cherice I can see that I can see that because I I with Stacy like I don't see her getting involved with big boy but I could see her like what a big boy shot first.
SPEAKER_00Well I just I feel like I could see her maybe meeting him and the women like blowing that up into something it's not you know like oh like making it more than what it actually was that's true I can see that what what what I what parameter do they have to be meet in like he giving her advice for the show I don't I if I was a Catherine I'd be too I'd like what the what they got to talk about what they got to comment well I mean why why why was Sharice hanging out why was Sharice having lunch with him well like Sharice well they were actually had known each other Sharice was like I was her bestie at one point and then it went left with Sharice and Monique. So they have like you know dedicated history and time together.
SPEAKER_02You don't know if they see looking on a pain or maybe you do I don't know maybe we'll find out maybe something fan I don't know I could see I could see Mama Samuels sitting there with with her wig off watching watching nice ordering things. Talk about Stacy's her favorite oh she's my favorite one she defin I'm sure she probably would like Stacy better than she liked Monique. Well I mean Stacy seems a lot less round the way that was that was a very classy way of putting it um but yeah overall how are you I guess based off the premiere and based off the previews and everything that we've seen and like kind of just what we know from like tea that's kind of come out like how are you how are you feeling about the season of Atomic are you excited? Do you have a high hopes are you nervous?
SPEAKER_00I wouldn't say my hopes are high. I do think compared to Salt Lake and what Salt Lake has given us in three or four episodes I'm kind of like a little underwhelmed. I'm not like looking forward to what's been happening so far but I'm hoping because I think this season they did take an active effort to like not let everything leak. Because I don't even know where they go on a trip this year, you know? Or if like previous years you knew all the beats the the major fights kind of things getting leaked and I don't know if it's just me because I deleted X, but I've seen a lot less leaks for this season so I'm a little bit optimistic on that front that like there's maybe there's a lot we haven't seen or more go and scroll on because the cast dynamic I think right now is good. I like the mix of personalities there's a good mix of new and old the kind of middle guard like the Wendy's and I guess at this point isn't the middle guard because so many people came after her I think it's an exciting point for the series we'll see kind of who will become kind of the the mainstays of this new era who's just here because Karen's in jail kind of like that Teresa season where those twins came yeah somebody's definitely a one season wonder here yeah but I think for everyone to make their mark like not everyone's an Ecka who is Potomac's first ever one season wonder but but you know to summarize it with my long winded ass I'm looking forward to it.
SPEAKER_02You know I'm optimistic but not overly subtle Yeah I think I think the show is for me the show is kind of like out of its dark era, like the dark ages of Potomac where we kind of had a we had a few seasons there where the show was just like it was getting really difficult to even watch. Um It was just not great. And we had a few seasons of that. And I feel like the show is out of that era. And we've been improving over the last like two seasons. Like, and we're kind of getting to a we've been getting to a better place. Um, but I definitely yeah, the show's not quite as like iconic and entertaining as it was in its first, you know, four or five seasons. Like to me, I feel like seasons three and four was like peak Potomac.
SPEAKER_00Exactly. And I think this season will figure itself out. Probably with Kiara getting fired, but we'll see.
SPEAKER_02I would like to see Ashley. I would like to see this be Ashley's final season.
SPEAKER_00We'll see on Angel, but I'm high on Angel right now.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um Tia, I keep wanting to call that lady Jackie. Her name is Tia. I don't know why I want to keep calling her Jackie. I almost said like five times with this recording. You're probably gonna be like, who? Who that? Right? But Tia. I think we gotta give her more time, see how she fits in, but yeah. I don't think she'll be very over the top. Just that obviously ain't going anywhere.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, Karen's gonna be back next season, obviously.
SPEAKER_00Karen will be back. We'll see how Wendy just even moves and operates, but I like Wendy as kind of a main thing. I like that she doesn't seem to take anything too serious. She kind of just rolls with the punches.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Well, I feel like Wendy's very adaptable. I feel like she can kind of just go with the flow and switch up direction and everything like that. Because I feel like sit, I mean, since she's been on the show, even just her first season, there's been like a lot of major shifts like in her time on the show. And she's kind of just rolled with the punches.
SPEAKER_00Right, no, exactly. She kind of just always finds her foot in our little alliance. And I'm surprised they never seem to really give her like a friend or somebody who's there for her. I guess K was used to her, but now Kay is moving weird and has Angel, so Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So I don't know. I I'm not people get jumped.
SPEAKER_00Because they never let Candace have a friend. They could have at least given her Askala. Like literally let Ascala exist just so Candice has someone to talk to. But no, they want to be evil. But I'm I'm over it, I promise.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. But overall, I'm I'm I'm ready for this season. I'm excited for it. I definitely think. I definitely think uh it would have been better with Karen here, but you know, it is what it is. I think the girls are making and Candace, yeah, but I I would like to see Ashley for sure go, and I would like to see Karen and Candace come back. I'd like to see depending on how things go with Monique this season, if she does surprise me and actually does bring it, I would like to see her come back full time, maybe. But I also I don't know if her and Candace can really be on the show at the same time.
SPEAKER_00So yeah, I really don't gag that sort of offseason reconciliation, but you know I'm a little delusional.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00It's more likely than a Nikki and Cardi reconciliation, at least.
SPEAKER_02So I don't know, to a certain degree with Candace and and Monique, I feel like it's kind of one or the other. Like I feel like Monique is able to come back because Candace isn't there, and I feel like the only way Candace could come back is if Monique didn't continue. You know, so I feel like it's I feel like we're kind of in that one of the other stage with them.
SPEAKER_00Even though they both really jump Giselle, but that won't happen.
SPEAKER_02I know, they they don't they don't want to see who the real enemy is.
SPEAKER_00Right. Like I like like Kiara Wendy said, you don't like her. No, you don't like her.
SPEAKER_02Arguing over who doesn't like this bitch more, I guess.
SPEAKER_00That would be ridiculous. I would have to walk away if I was in that argument. And just to address that before we finish, Kiara looks like a damn idiot. Talking about, you you you snapped me at this event, you were acting different, you didn't wave at me while on stage. And when he's looking at her like a fucking idiot, like girl, what? Yeah, I the thing is I believe Kiara. Like I believe this is how Wendy would act. But it's just she's delivering it wrong, coming across so desperate and dramatic, like this was nothing to bring up, but it was something like to hold on to and like watch for the season, you know? And that was when she wants a beef and she just like grasped me at anything. It was kind of giving the Julia with Gertie on Miami at the end of the season.
SPEAKER_02Like, well, no, that's that's what I feel is I 100% feel like Kiana made it her objective to like fall out with Wendy to like give herself kind of more to do on the show uh to try to not get fired, yeah, or demoted.
SPEAKER_00It made sense because you go at Ashley Giselle, you get one of those two, and product if you go at Giselle, you're going after production too. It makes no sense to jump the new girls. I mean, Angel's her friend at Tia So Nice. Yeah. So it's just Ashley, who she kind of went at last season, and Wendy. Yeah. I wanted to tell her last season, but again, she has like the Giselle Alliance.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, what I feel like with Wendy, it gives a more dramatic storyline because they're friends and everything. So you can kind of sell like the whole like falling out and everything.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Well, yeah, because people, because people definitely get hyped on Housewives over a falling out. But I think the problem is that whenever you try to like whenever you try to be evil and orchestrate a falling out, kind of like what Jill did with Bethany and everything back in the day, it's it always backfires on you when you try to like turn on a bitch because you want to orchestrate a falling out. I feel like what always happens is these bitches always think they can go back and make things better later, and then it does not go that way. Um, so I feel like Kiarna just from like before the season started, she knew she wanted to beef with Wendy, but like Wendy hasn't actually wronged her in any serious way, as far as we know. So I feel like she's just having to cling on to any stupid petty thing she can, and it's just it's not making her look great. So I'm sorry, Kay.
SPEAKER_00Uh she's also coming hot towards Stacey too, so it just seems like I don't know, because it's like Giselle's overall initiative, it makes her seem lap dog-ish. But I know her and Giselle also have like a previous relationship. I feel like it would be way more interesting if she went after Ashley. And it was kind of kind of mixed things up a little bit more in the you know, the circle, but you know, Kaya's clicking down, she's clicking, but she's clicking down.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's unfortunate because I mean we've I feel like on this podcast at least we've been very supportive and optimized.
SPEAKER_00We wanted her to succeed.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, from her first season, we were like calling for her to be promoted to full time, and like when she first went full time and like had like a kind of disappointing or underwhelming performance, we kind of like we were we were definitely offering up excuses and everything, like okay, well maybe it was because of this X, Y, and Z and like the filming late, she didn't know.
SPEAKER_00Which I will say, now in retrospect, NECA wasn't amazing, but she wasn't one season wonder bed. If Keno didn't get two and a half seasons, Mega could have got one and a half, girl. If she got pregnant, like she fertilized that egg and y'all didn't give a fuck.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I I feel like NECA could have gotten a lot of things.
SPEAKER_00Her husband was that we were definitely a season or two away from that nigga cheated. IK was cheating.
SPEAKER_02Well, for sure. For sure. For sure.
SPEAKER_00And then it was me. I lied.
SPEAKER_02But yeah, no, Bravo just didn't want to give us that. But it's it's okay because we're we're we're over it, we're past NECA. And she she she didn't do herself any favors at a reunion. Not not.
SPEAKER_00Maybe she can get on a married to medicine DC reboot or if Halloween decides to reboot something. Because she is married to medicine, so she has that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Yeah, and she's you know she's back.
SPEAKER_00She'll be fine with the money because she's the lawyer, her man's a doctor. It's not like she'll be on the street. Like Ashley will be out without the chef and Michael's money. I hope we see Miss Sheila this season. I hope we get some Miss Sheila. I hope we get some Miss Susan. Oh, Kiara's mom is fabulous, by the way. I want to get that out.
SPEAKER_02She the thing, Potomac delivers us some pretty great lemon. Is this Kay?
SPEAKER_00I mean, oh no, that's her fucking mom. She looks so young, like a baddie. Cute little outfit. Like Lisa Mom and Kay.
SPEAKER_02And and and the thing is, she didn't, you know, she didn't have to get a fucking facelift like Taylor's mom on real on the Sister Wives or Mormon Wives or whatever the fuck that show is called to look to look young and like her daughter.
SPEAKER_00I'm sorry, but I can't believe it.
SPEAKER_02I I can't stand Taylor's mom on Secret Lives of Mormon. Well I can't stand that lady.
SPEAKER_00Um the moment she was on screen, I'm like, everything about Taylor makes sense.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Well I think I'm like this.
SPEAKER_00Um Stacy's shady aunt from last season. I hope she makes a return.
SPEAKER_02She was shady. Yeah, overall I think that I think that about covers it. Did you have anything else you want to touch on before we sign off?
SPEAKER_00No, but um I do want to reinforce it, Ashley Darby, if you somehow hear this, or if someone sends this clip to you, please Google those singing lessons that Stacey told you to look up because you're killing me softly with your singing attempts. Thank you.
SPEAKER_02Ooh. And you know what, Ashley? You you better start looking at the listings, honey. You better start try you better start applying for things. You better get your resume updated because I I I I'm manifesting that your time is up, but I'm gonna light some candles to try to make sure it happens.
SPEAKER_00Right, and I'm sure that you could still be a bottle girl. You still look the fuck good, girl. So, you know, yeah, you can't. You start trying to buy it back with all the yoga, so you go right back to the sparklers in the bottles.
SPEAKER_02Well, and go go gold dig again. Go find a new go go find a new rich man.
SPEAKER_00Right, and we don't miss you watch the babies while you're off bottle girl in.
SPEAKER_02So and the in the words, uh, in the words of New York, go go be a mother to your children. That was sweet, man. And I don't wish you an ounce of luck. I wish you an ounce of luck and hopefully you have a good life, but if you don't, so so be you. Who the hell cares?
SPEAKER_00But you know damn well. She'd be up and down cameo, doing traders, doing spinner.
SPEAKER_02Oh god. She she doesn't have the range for the colour. Starting a podcast, trying to say, she doesn't have the range for traders. But um, I hope that y'all note takers feel like we have the range because you can find us on social media. We are on a real note pod on every platform you can fucking imagine. We're on TikTok, we're on X, we're on Instagram, we're on YouTube. I'm not gonna watch my language. We don't have any sponsors to worry about.
SPEAKER_00Um, we're not gonna get fucking better help now, but well that there goes your language too.
SPEAKER_02There goes your back. And I'm not gonna bleep it. I'm not gonna bleep it.
SPEAKER_00Well.
SPEAKER_02Anyway, y'all have a wonderful, a wonderful rest of your day. Thank y'all for listening. We appreciate you.
