| Ep 66 | We Survived BravoCon … Barely!

bedroom and I'm not answering the door. And then the second thing I said was, um, if Giselle walks in this house and it's all energetic and ready to go what's up, Yes, let's get it, then I'm going to punch her in her face. And that's what I normally do. I'm very energetic. I have all the energy in the world. When it's time to get it, we get it. Yes, But that's not how I came in. No. You came in.

You you opened the door and you were very you know, slow moving and sluggish, and and I said, okay, You're lucky because I was about to punch you. But thank god I didn't get punch. I might punch you. Now why you are like now you're like bad, I'm ready, yes, how because you know this is why I get paid the big bucks robbing, and we might get paid the same bucks. But that's not the point. You know. It's the virgo in me when it's time to go. It's time to go, you know what. I'm usually like that

because remember, um, the watch What Happens Live? So the first one, the second one that we did where the second one? The second one? No? No, was it? The first one was the first one. Don't you remember how I was? So I was like exhausted. It's the second because your feet were hurting reread the strappy shoes. Oh yeah, I think you know, it's probably both of them. First of all, we were wait, wait, wait, wait, let's not talking about Robert Kanye. We have to give our reason

the moment of the week. No, no, no, I'm just saying like, how like I was so exhausted, and then like it was like lights, camera action, and I was like oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah no that actually that was the second one, because it was like, okay, we can talk about that. So yeah, well let's stack up. Let's we'll go to our reasonably sax the week. Okay, that's up. Yah, I'm here, Okay, so reasonly shading moment

of the week. So I legitimately got home midnight last night, and I took If we go to New York, always catch the Acella because it's just easier to navigate getting into the city. So I don't fly anyway normally. My seat is a one seater, meaning I'm not sitting next to anyone, okay, meaning they didn't sell Like you just lucked up and no one's next to you. I've lucked up a lot, and there's like there's some seats in first class that are one seaters, like you don't you

don't sit next to anybody. But that's not what happened last night. Okay. I was sitting next to this woman and she kept yawning and wouldn't cover her mouth, Like who does that? Like you yawn with your mouth fully open and air's coming out and you don't cover That

was her breath, stinky. I didn't smell it. So I really like dramatically dug into my bag, whipped out a mask, threw it on my face and tell like I'm telling you lady like, stop it stop, and she kept doing it and she kept doing it, and I just I mentally had to because you know, I'm tired, and when I'm tired, I get to cousin and I just was like, let me just mentally act like this ain't happening right.

And I'm sure she had no self awarence, no idea that that was disgusting and that you're sitting next to a person and that's so it's so rude. It's who yawns with their mouth open, don't cover it. Nothing that's disgusting. So when I see people, when like people do like little things like that, then you have to wonder, like, Okay, you probably like walk around barefoot in the bathroom like in like you know, in the bathroom on an airplane. You know what I'm saying, Like you don't care about

germs at all? So I did. I saw a lady walk into the airplane bathroom with her toddler and they were both barefoot. I wanted to barth. I was like, how why is this okay? It's not okay, it's not okay. And that that brings me okay, well, that that brings me to Bravo com will come right back to that. But reason shading mom so, I mean, I'm sorry my recently shading moments. Bravo Cone, Like, I'm so freaking tired. They like we're gonna talk about it. We're gonna, you know,

just to it. But like the way I feel today, and it's because like we had Bravo com we came home, you know, oh and I drove about Brobert kind of you know, get into that too. So it's like I haven't had a day off since and this is like days later because like you get back to the real world. Okay, for those of you all who live under a rock, Bravo Con was a convention of Bravo talent meeting their fans.

Is that Is that a good explanation? You know, there's like comic cons, so there's like for people like comic books and Marvel and all that, like you know, it's similar to all that, right, And and they're like it was every day, ten thousand people every day, so for three days, for three it was like thirty plus I think it was. I think the total was like thirty five thou and um. And just to put this in perspective, there's like a hundred and fifty Bravo liberties will call

them Bravo talent and thirty five thousand y'all. So let's do the math, right, the math is like whoa, But it was great, Like they broke up, they put they had schedules for us obviously, So had like a Potomac panel and we talked about um all things related to Poto making it. All the ladies from the show were there. We had Robert and I had a couple of like meeting greets when we were just like meeting, meeting the

fans taking pictures. UM. We had like a press moment where we had to like talk to all the press outlets. We had to do a couple of nights of Watch What Happens Live? So Andy the first night Andy had Watch What Happens Live with every talent. So it's like us on stage, a hundred fifty of us and what three thousand people in the auditorium at least, yeah, at least And can we talk about that? Can we talk about watch ABS live? Because that was a whole ship show. Okay,

I mean it was like an organized ship show. Yes, we had in the thing, like when you have that many talent, you have they have to build in so much time for us all to get there and make sure, you know, and organize us, and so the episode so that that episode aired already at yeah, that aired already,

but it wasn't so it went live. I think they started recording or filming at nine probably, but we had to get to the venue at six at six pm, so it's like we're literally sitting there for three hours after a super long day of you know, doing everything else, and by the time the show comes and just like I'm like, oh my gosh, like get this over, you know, and then thank god that we were like big participants in the show, because can you imagine if you sat

and you waited for three hours, you were in the venue for three hours, and you finally come out and stage and like they don't even talk about you or your shower. Well, in in in defensive Bravo, they did feed for those three hours. They did feed us. They had a big bar for us, a couple of several bars, so we were like waiting for the show to start, and they were we were well accommodated. I can say that we were. I mean, but I like, for me, it was like it almost became like sensory overloads. Yes,

you know what I mean. And so I had to end those three hours while we were waiting, like I literally had to like go hide on like Robin did. She went to go hide, Like I literally had to go just just go sit by myself somewhere and I just needed just to like relax. Yeah. But during that particular Watch what Happens Live, Robin I got called out

a little bit because of this, because of this podcast. Okay, So on this podcast, I don't know, maybe a month or so ago, we or maybe two months at this point, we interviewed Carlos King and in that interview, okay, so Andy has a portion of Watch What Happens Live, and we're all they're called squash the Beef, right, So if there's any beef between Bravo Talent, he wants you to

come up and squash it. So the beef that Robin and I got involved in, unfortunately, was that I kind of said something bad about the Dubai show The Real Housewives to Dubai. I said it was kind of like watching paint dry. So I thought I said that and it was over. You know, Andy Cohen is like we got to talk about this in front of the people that you talked about. Just oh my god, Oh my god. So I tried to make nice, but Robin, you did not try to make nice with these ladies. I did.

I was honest. I was nice. I told him they were beautiful. And I told him I've never watched the show. I'm sorry, Like, what am I supposed to say? And I said, and I said, she said it. I pointed at you, I said, just up, Zell said it. But I've never watched the show. So right, But but we did squash the beef. We did hug it out, and we're good with Chanelle iyon and and Lisa, who are

real housewives a Dubai. So love y'all ladies. Oh yes, absolutely, I mean you know what, I wish them, well, yeah, I hope they you know, I hope they have a season two coming, and I hope successful because you know, any season, I'm sure if someone talked about our show season one, they did, they're going to say it was boring and they didn't watch right, Like, so, uh, you know, I'm sorry, but that's reality, right, true facts. Now, a couple of things One loved running into Michael Rappaport and

his wife backstage Super Housewives. He's a uber Housewife fan, Like, he can run down scenes, he can run down episodes, he can tell you what happened season two a potomac like. He's amazing when it comes to just watching all the shows and he has a real opinion. Um, and his wife is super sweet. Yeah. Did you see any other celebrities like I No, Christy Tiga was there. She was there. Did you see her? I saw her. She came to the Ultimate Girl's Chrip panel, sat in the front row.

I was trying to like check her facial expression out like when people were talking, but she was like poker face. She had no expression. Um, I do want to talk about this didn't happened at provocom, but John Lithgo I saw. Okay. So John Lithgo, just for the record, is one of my favorites. But this is not because she's just so excited. I have energy and Robin doesn't. So I'm probably gonna talk n this episode. Rob's gonna say four words. Okay.

So John Lithgo was on The Sherry Show, right, and he kind of recapped I think the second second episode and he did it kind of like in a Shakespearean game. It was so freaking funny. It was so good. It was so funny, and I was wondering. I was like, did they write that, like, is he familiar with the Housewives? He is? Okay, I wasn't sure if it was just like the Sherry Show like helped him out with that and he was just reading it, or like if he really felt that in his I heard that he watches

and he's into it. We found out that Candice's husband Chris slimned into Ashley's d M, completely astoundius. Robin came to Christmas defense, saying it was all very innocent, but you know what, it seemed a bit trady to me. So that's funny. I was like, that's amazing. That was super cool. It's super cool, super funny. You got to look it up. Look, you know, I don't know. I'm sure it's on YouTube somewhere. Yeah, very cool. Speaking of

things that were gross, I'm all over the place. So one of the Summer House People or okay, fine, it was Summer House when I was going to say, or Southern Charm one of the Summer House People, which is a show on Bravo. All of them are like younger folks. They're like twenties or early early thirdies. Now let me just say this. Before I say this, I'm going to say, all of our feet hurt. Okay, everyone's feet hurt. We're

walking around the Javits Center. Nine times out of ten, I had slippers on from the games of board that I stole out the games board. I'm just wearing my slippers and talking to the fans with my slippers on. Okay. But there was one of those summer house girls who had was walking around barefoot and walked into the bathroom. Oh gosh, And I want everybody to know, this is not a thing that stopping disgusting. There's so much urine, disgusted dirt floor that is so gross. Yeah, you're serious. Yeah.

And at the time when she did it, you and I had just left the bathroom. We were talking to an exact and very high exactly bravo. So I had to fix my face, like I couldn't even react to the fact that she's walking down the halls of the jab At Center and into the bathroom barefoot. Disgusting. That's so disgusting. Yes, are you gonna say her name? I'm not gonna say her name. I'm not because I don't want to get a call from Bravo, so she will

remain nameless. Yeah, but that was not cute. That so gross, And and they had slippers for us too, Like I carry my own. Listen, it doesn't matter where I go. If I go to a wedding, a graduation, a Bravo con, I carried my flip flop slippers with me because my feet cannot stand being in heels. Like it's I mean, as we get older, of course, things change, but like it's just not good for your your your feet and

your body overall. Right. I mean I had slides that were cute, but I said to have with those, the slippers are more comfortable, like those little cushy slippers. Yeah. Yeah. And then for the record, everybody, what's gross. I'm just thinking about the girl, the girl I thought you meant my slippers were gross? No, no, no, my slippers feet. And then I get to the javitson and we see everybody backstage and everybody was like, oh girl, I should have had my slippers on. Oh girl, that was so smart.

Where the slippers the slippers, yes, slippers, Like how do you come here without them? You're going to a humongous conventions and you're gonna be on your feet all day taking pictures. You're like, this is not a sit down on and chill type of situation, right, Like even getting from the entrance of the Javit Center to the green room. Yeah,

I don't want to wear my heels doing that. Like I'm not twetting my heels on until it's time to say actions like for real, Um, I want to give a big thank you too, because we had a reasonably shady booth. First and foremost, we worked our d o O Carly. I mean we we killed her. Okay, she worked because she manned our booth. You guys are reasonably shad sters. Is that what they're called? The reasonably shady bunch?

The reasonably shady bunch. Y'all showed up and y'all were amazing. Y'all, y'all bought the merch and and just be cleared as more merch on our website. But like, I love the fact that they were like so excited about reasonably show I know, I know they were representing, yes where I I totally appreciated those of you that were walking around with your sweatshirts on and your T shirts on, and everybody loved. The adults like, I just want to say

thank you. Yes, it was so awesome. And I know there was like one day that um people were waiting in line because they thought I was coming. Oh, Robin Dixon, you were wrong. So I never said I was coming. You said it. I think Carly said, oh, I think Robin is coming, and so you're gonna blame it on Carly. Yes I am. I never said I was coming. They were waiting in line for Robin for the record, for two and a half hours, just for the possibility of

seeing Robin. Carly, there was a possibility that I was coming to the booth and yeah, I never said, Okay, well next time we had look at Car's gonna screenshot it and put it on Patreon. I mean, because that was the second UM. That was like the second day, and I was just like I was just I couldn't. I was so tired, like and it was and it was just so much UM to do. Oh and it

was oh my gosh. So we went from so you and I like this is when I knew the Bravo comp was just insane and a good white guys, we're

not complaining, like brabo com was amazing. So we we had an event, like a fan event, and then we had to go from the fan event on one side of the convention center to the press room on the other side of the convention center, and um, they requested that we kind of instead of take the back ways like in the hallways and stuff, they requested that we walked through the crowd, the crowd to say hi, you know, so they could see because some people could see us

and stuff. So I was like, okay, sure. We said okay, sure, And legitimately we didn't know what I was getting ourselves and I had my heels on, so did you did? I were from event to event and we didn't know how long the walk was. Oh my gosh. After the end of this walk, I said, I just felt like Michael jack Sin walking through there. People were screaming, pulling out their phones. I'm like taking selfies with people as we walk along. People were like running to get their picture.

They're like, rob, but can I get a picture? I'm like, you gotta keep walking, you gotta what fast and you can take a south face. I like, I literally tried to take as many selfies as I could right possibly, and the security guards are all like, you gotta move, come on, you gotta call you gotta go, and it was just like it was just so it was. But

that's how the the Javit Center was. It's like you can just like all of a sudden, you just hear a bunch of screams and you're like, oh, I wonder who that is, right, I wonder who's coming through walking through? So it was one time I was in an event and it was like a bunch of screams and it's like the screams were like, Okay, Kathy Hilton's about to walk in right that In my opinion, I was like, oh, like it must be Kathy Hilton because these people were

going nuts. Which, by the way, anywhere Kathy Hilton went, the people went nuts. And it was somebody that I wasn't really thinking I was wearing. I can't. I'm not naming names. We just cannot name it. We're gonna name names on Patreon. So just for the record, if you don't have Patreon, you better you better download yourself some Patreon. Yeah, maybe I'll reveal who that person was. I want to be shady. This is not it's not being shady, but I the way that people were screaming, I was literally

thinking it was like it was Kathy. But we are okay, just before the record, we are going to reveal some things on Patreon about Bravo con Yeah, a little bit more, yes, yeah, some some tea, a little I'm gonna spill yeah, okay, but um I was talking to Andy the other day and he said, and this is very true. Light I feel this way. I can say, we get trashed on Twitter nine times out of ten. You're like completely obliterated if that's a word on Twitter about everything that we

do on the show, and we're like picked apart. And so Bravo com was like excellent. Just I opened it for people that do love us, because you don't on Twitter, we don't get the balance. Well you know what, right, you don't right, you don't get the balance. And and that's the thing that I've always told people like other castmates, who are obsessed with Twitter and obsessed with what people

say on Twitter. I said, those people don't represent on like, they don't represent the majority, the vast majority of true Bravo fans like those because everybody there was just so happy and excited and so nice, beyond beyond right. So I said, you know, like the people on Twitter, they don't represent the people that are going to Bravo Con. They just don't for the most part. I mean, you know, I'm sure somebody's gonna be like you, I'm on Twitter

all the time, blah blah blah whatever. I understand what you're saying, but I'm saying percentage wise, I really believe there's a huge population of people that choose to watch our shows um without a you know, without having their opinions skewed by social media one percent, which I love and thank you, which I love and thank you. Ok So I have a phase, a crazy fan moment. Do you do you have one? Not off the top of

my head, but I think. Okay. So I'm at the reasonably shady booth and a lady walks up to me and she's like, Gisell, I just want you to know I named my cat after you. So I was like what. So she was like yes, I said after me, like Giselle, and she was like yes. When I'm happy with her, I call her g When I'm mad at her, I call her justll Brian. And I'm like what I was done. I was so done that you have named your cat Giselle Brian. That's hilarious. That is funny. So it's kind

of like that could be it. But I was like, thank you. I think, yes, that's a thank you, thank you. So that was a crazy fan moment, but I absolutely loved it. Another crazy fan mom I don't know whether you guys watched season two of Potomac. What's the season two? The press conference three? Season three of Potomac, there was a moment that I created a T shirt in that season and I wore it to shade another lady. Okay, fine, Karen, And there was fans that made their own version of

that T shirt. And the T shirt legitimately was like a white T shirt. Uh. If you remember that scene, Robin told me, don't do it. I said, I'm doing it anyway. And I had like the iron arms, I'm ironing on letters being so horribly shady, and then on the back of it had it had other stuff on it. And those ladies replicated the shirt and to a t and they came as like a gang. It was like a group of let me tell you something, our fans

are undefeated, right, they're undefeated. Yeah, I can't. I mean I can't, off the top of my head think of any crazy fan moments. I did FaceTime one and like kind of like turn my phone around so the fans could like say hi, because I wanted to. I wanted him to see, like how crazy it was. So like the fans were like going crazy for one on facetoff of course. So I'm oh, my gosh, imagine and everywhere I went is one year is one it was. It

wasn't even just Bravo fans, it was Bravo talent. Everybody wanted to know if mom was here, like it was so yeah. So I'm like, oh my gosh, that man would have run for the hills or he would have got a kick out of it for like five minutes, and then he would have gotten a kick out of it, and then he probably just would have just been in the back in like the green room or something because he would be like, Okay, this is crazy. Right. People were actually acting for my kids, And I was like,

there's no way I think I could have my kids. Right. Well, apparently he had to be eighteen and older to be there, that's right. Yeah, So there weren't any kids there and now that unless they were over eighteen. Okay, So we have to talk about something that is universally Um, I think both of our pet peeves lips. They are now out of control. Okay. So at Bravo Con, I realized, Dad, people are no longer getting bbls. Okay, So the butt movement is over. Okay. The new movement is lips. Is

that new that's been going on? But it's like extreme it is. Okay, some of your housewives. I love y'all, but y'all lips are too damn big, too big, and they look like slugs, like when they put the lip gloss on, put their shiny lip gloss on pretty makeup, and it looks like you have slugs on your face. Okay, but when did this become a thing? You say for a while, but I don't recall this being a thing. You don't until I went to Bravo Con and I looked at the housewives and I said, good God, what

is going on with you? It's been slowly getting worse and worse. I think, you know, people, it's like they don't even see how much they're doing anymore, you know. Okay, It's like when you first put blonde highlights in your hair, and then you're like you don't see them anymore, and you're like, I need more, and then all of a sudden, you're like a full, full blonde, you know what I mean. So I feel like with them, it's like they probably did a little bit it along the way and then

more more. I don't need more, okay. So I thought it was just like a white woman thing, like you know what I mean. Like I thought this was because typically when if you're Caucasian, your lips are thinner. So okay. And then I watched Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. I watched that like two nights ago. Actually i've binged it because you know, it's my show. Secretly, yeah, I like

a little ratchet. All of them have the big lips to do they oh my god, and they're like you can tell that they've been because I mean, black women have full lips. You can tell you that's not their natural lists one hundred person and I was like, I mean, okay, not Rashida. Rashida is absolutely beautiful. Rashida, don't do nothing to your face on your lips because you're you're beautiful. But the rest of them really it's lips on lips on lips, Like, what is this? I don't I need

the I need the revolution to stop. Please please, because now we're I mean, what's it gonna be? Like some people that have seen where it's extremes like it looks very clownish. Yeah, class is more with the lips. I mean, I understand wanting to enhance your lips, fine, but just realize that less is more. Yes, I'll go back to to inflate the booty something. Leave the lips alone, go back to the booty. We'll go back to the barbie titties. Yes, the titties. It's like, shoot, the boot job is not

even a thing anymore. It's not even a thing. It's so crazy. Okay, so I this is a woman question. Speaking of lips. So I one night of Brabocinda had a red lipstick, Yeah, which I never really wear that often because it's just like red lipstick is hard to maintain throughout the course of the evening. Yeah, I think

I've done yea. Why it just seemed to like move really, like you know, how you line your lip and especially if it's a darker color so that it doesn't But like once you put loss on it, it might run if you have if it's glossy, then yeah, yeah was it moving? Was it? I felt like I just felt like I had to check it and I was like weirded out by it. Really? Yeah, yeah, I'm not. I mean I think I feel like, um, red lips make you look older. I'm not saying you, I'm just saying

in general, or make me. I'll speak for myself. I think they make me look older. Um, but I think it's maybe more of not necessary, It's like more of a mature look. But now, oh, Tina Knowles, Tina knows wears red lipstick, and I promise you she never she never washes it off because I've never not seen her with her red lipstick and we love her that. But she looks beautiful, that's like her. Yeah. But I think for me when I see myself, because I were red lips one of the days and I just felt like

I like it. I felt like it made me look older. Is but do we do red lips wintertime? Is that a wintertime thing? Definitely? Yeah, so red lips in the summers and now it's I think it's just rare, rare. Yeah, Okay, I don't. Don't. Yeah, I think you'll definitely see it more in the fall, in the winter. Okay. So I so I was with the makeup artists that put the red lips on me. I was with her a couple of days ago, and she was like, don't we want a color on your lips. I'm like, no, I think

I'm done with color on my lips forever. Like, if it's not a nudy color, I'm done, right. Yeah, So, anybody that wants to come to my house and take maybe the hundred lipsticks that I have that I've never worn, feel free. You have them, you can have them. Yeah, I don't want them anymore. I'm done. I just want to want to put this out here with brival com, um, like,

just to explain why I'm so freaking tired. So leading up to Rob brival com was also a thing, you know, because you gotta figure out what you're wearing, right, So that's the whole thing, just packing getting ready, Rob, you didn't call you stylist. I don't have a stylist. I know, I'm joking. I don't have a stylist. Like, why don't I feel like that's a topic we can talk about why don't we have a stylist anyway, let's write that down as a topic, going, write it down, put it

down in my notes. Yeah. So yes, So figuring out what you're gonna wear because there's so many different events, right, and you're like, oh, what am I going to wear here? And then we're gonna there blah blah. Right, Okay, So just to let you guys know, they give us a schedule of everything that we have to do leading up to Bravo Con. And then you look at the schedule and you're like, holy yeah, it's a bunch of Macinoli words, like four pieces of paper. There's no way I could

get through this. So you're going through your schedule. And then so for me, what I did is I was I looked at my schedule. Then I tried to like get outfits for each thing on my schedule, which it could have been a hundred things on my schedule, right yeah, right, But but on like so on a say on Saturday, we have like one to three things back to back to back, like no, we were in the same outfit, yes, of course, and then later on it was Bravo Con. So then that's another outfit by the way Rob and

I did to watch What Happens Live. It was dynamic duos, and um, I can't say we were the best dynamic duo. I just want to say that fought a record. Oh this is this brings me, brings me to another thing. I'm gonna cut you off. Sitting next to us was Sutton and Garcella. Love Garcelle, by the way, always loved Garcella. Had not met Sutton and told you had I've met her before I watched My Mamma's Life. Okay, so I

hadn't met her before Sutton. I get it now. I give my Garcella and Sutton our friends, Sutton and Garcella from Real Housewives Beverly Hills. Like. I love Sutton. She's a lot of fun. She's a hoop. She is a hoose. That explains her perfectly. She's a hoop. So we were sitting on the couch. So on this particular couch was robbing me and I sat next to Sutton and then Garcella and Sutton kept telling me that I was hogging up couch space. We were having like a couch fight

with our booties and Sutton has no booty. Okay, so Sutton, stop it, stop talking about my booty exactly. But you know what was actually cool about Bravo con and I'll talk a little bit more on the Patreon about it, but it was really cool to meet other Bravo talent that you may have had a pain in about, you know, just like you watch the show and you're like, I don't really like her, and then you meet her and then like she's super sweet. You know, like that I

appreciated and that was definitely something. But Robin, there are some people that you didn't think we're sweet. Yeah, we'll talk about that. I mean, do you want to talk about that now. Okay, we're gonna talk about that later on Patreon. Um so um okay. But no, what I was what I was trying to like, Okay, So it's

you gotta figure out what you're wearing. Then you gotta figure out, you know, your hair, what you wanna do for your hair, Like I went and got a whole We've put in my hair which looks very pretty, and we want to keep it. Yes, yes, I want to keep it in for at least a month. What okay? No, Robin, this is it. This is like season eight. This is Robin's look. Yes, well I'm here for it. Like Robin looks chic, sexy like this long straight hair. Thank you. What do you want to say about your hair? He

likes it. So Wan doesn't like like not Wan and my boys they don't like fake hair period. It doesn't look fake, right, it looks good and the things like I told, surely my hair's else, like I wanted to be as like thin as possible, you know what I mean, Like I don't want I don't I don't like a lot of hair. Like whenever I would get like weaves or you know anything, like it's like too much hair on my head. And so like this time, we really made sure like it was like not that much hair

so that it feels natural. Okay, So if you want to see what we're talking about, go to Robin or my instagram and she is slaying this hair. Gotches ya. So okay. So anyway, so leading up, so I had to you know, figure out what I'm wearing, do my hair, and then we had to marchandise boots. I had my embellished booth. We have recently shady boots. So we had to get all that stuff together and packed and blah

blah blah blah, and you know, Bravo paid for our travel. Like, so I had a had a first class Amtrak ticket to go to Bravo Con and come home. In the night before, I'm literally like getting my stuff together and I'm like, oh shit, I need to drive. I need to load my car up with all of my embellished merchandise, my two big gass suitcases, and I need to drive. So, like I drove to New York, which, by the way, Robin told me she was driving to New York and I was like, oh, hey, that sounds crazy. Dr SA

and drive safe, right, drive safe? So I drove to New York, got their Thursday, got you know, went to the convention center, unloaded my my vehicle and set up the booth. And then Friday, Saturday, Sunday's Bravo Con and then Monday had to drive home and I had to drive straight to parent teacher conferences from Bravo Con to

parent teachers. Like how insane is that? I literally went from feeling like Michael Jackson to like the teacher to go into a parent teacher conference meeting where the teachers like, um, yeah, your child needs to pay attention a little bit more, you know, say like talk about why my kid got a fifty five on his math toes like, oh no, this a little new math. Okay, it's math is not mad, right.

So so it was just it was just so funny because that's our life, Like we have definitely huge reality check. It's like it's like it's like, um, you know, I don't know, it's like it's real. It's our real world, right, yes, I mean, and it's what we show on Potomac. Well you see our yeah, you see our real life on Potomac.

But what you don't really see is how people. Yeah, the behind the scenes are how people treat us out in public and how you know, when we're out and people want to take pictures and like you don't really get to see that on on the show now, of course not. But it was just so like I was literally driving home and I was like, this is so crazy. I'm literally doing from people screaming my name and running

after me. It's so excited to see you straight to parent teacher conference, but the teacher to tell you that you'll childs need some help exactly, and then okay, now just so then you were in mode, right in mommy mode. And then the next day, Tuesday, I had to wake up and film interview confessional for the Real Housewives of Potomac. So it was like they didn't give us any break so I would be back in the interview chair yesterday. I had appointments all day. Today we're recording, but we're

not complaining. I'm not complaining, but it's just like I would like one day just to like lay flat on myselfa looking at the ceiling. You're gonna get it. Maybe next week maybe, but I mean, like totally not complaining and totally feeling blast and grateful, and you know, it's nice to know because we've been grinding for a minute, and it's nice to know that, hey, people appreciate the grind. Yeah, oh, let's talk about this. So we had our panel on Sunday, right,

and most of the Potomac panel. So there's at BRAVOCN there's you know, almost every show, I guess has like a panel where you know, the people on the show, they stood up and they talked, you have a moderator and blah blah blah. So apparently our panel was amazing, because not apparently it was amazing but see, my thought process is like, like, okay, people came up to us.

So many people came up to us after the panel, whether it was Bravo, Exacts, fans, you know whatever, and they were like, oh my god, your panel was so good. Your panel was amazing, was so great. You were so great. And I'm sitting here like what what we were just being ourselves? What are these other panels looking? And then I'm like, what did everything else look like? But you gotta get robbed in some respect. She and Sheuris had history.

She's rooting for her, old girl. What are you saying robbing? I'm sorry, I said, I do not care what you're saying. You know what, then don't comment, I mean because I'm gonna come at you and pivot your ass and correct you. Ever, let's do it. You know me over my ball, Let's do it. We could do it all right, you'll watch, You'll say. But it was really cool because it was a packed room packed, not an empty seat, no huge room, which I was like, wow, packed room, Like everyone was

so excited. But just to hear the feedback, to hear people say that our panel was so good, and I'm literally thinking, like we're just being ourselves and I'm like, wow, like we've really have done something and what's so? You know, Robin was so crazy about it. So we had a girl that was with us. She's one of our crew. Her name is Arlen Hi Arlen, and she right before we went out there, I was like, Arlen, is anybody out there? Did anybody show up for our panel? She

was like, yes, there's people there. I said, no, like really like my show up? Um? Because you know, in my mind we're still one of the newer shows, you know what I mean, Like we're still not the Juggernauts of Beverly Hills, Atlanta, New York. Like we're still like the baby of the bunch kind of. So I was like, are you sure? I walked out there there was not one seat, no empty, not a one um. So that

that was like totally amazing. All Right, We're Bravo Con y'all to death, and we appreciate you all listening because we just want you all to live where we live it out here. But and whenever we have a Bravo Con again, by all means we want y'all to show up and show out. That's number one. Number two. Oh we didn't even talk about our live show. Reasonably Shady Live is happening in New York City Winery November twenty six. So excited. It is an all v I P experience.

So the tickets, you buy your ticket and you will be able to get your meat and greet on a photo, a little you know, token of some sort, and watch the show and have a good old time. It'll be a nice intimate space. And and some of y'all at Bravo com we're already saying that that that y'all were buying y'all tickets. You can't wait. So I just love y'all.

I love our little fans. Yes, yes, yes, to go to the City Winery and then search for Reasonably Shady Yeah in New York November twenty And we gotta make this good because we're trying to go to other other cities. Yes. And when I posted, y'all were like, come to Oklahoma, come to Kansas. Come look and listen. We ain't going nowhere If New York ain't good. Okay, we're gonna be home on the couch exactly. Okay. So I want to read this email, um, and you know, maybe we'll get

through a couple, but this one is funny. This is a nice, nasty email. Oh lord, I'm scared nice. This is from Derek Hodges. Derek says, love the show. Y'all are my two favorite people on Bravo. This October seventeenth episode was such a waste. We didn't want to listen to Astrology the entire time. I wanted to turn it off so many times, but since I'm a loyal listener, I stay tuned in with several deep size and I rolls. Anyways, don't do this again. Thanks, Okay, Derek, Okay, Derek, We're

sorry that you did not enjoy that episode. I'm not sorry, I'm sorry but that he didn't enjoy it. But Derek, we we have to give you a range, sir, exactly. We we want to talk about a variety of things, and Astrology is something that I find intriguing. It was on the heels of like how many damn virgos in

this world? And I thought it was interesting to hear about the dynamics of you know, our relationships, you know on the show or even you know in your life, Like I don't know, I'm that's one that's a topic that like I can literally talk about yes, tell me how you really feel there. And then I also want to say, you know, keeping in mind what we just explained to you about Bravo Con and preparing for Bravo Con, we actually wanted to make sure that you all had

an episode to listen to right after Bravo Con. Otherwise we could have just been off. I didn't know. We're not doing that to our people, because because I'm saying so, we recorded episodes that are more you know, um, not really time sensitive. You can kind of play some anywhere. We made sure we recorded this episode before we left for Bravo Con so that y'all had something to listen to, you know what I mean. But I got something for Derek. I'm ready to read my letter that I have over.

I got something for you, Derek. I'm coming for you, Derek. Okay, this is from a Y B. A Maria Bass or something. Okay, anyway, Hi ladies, I'm super late, but I've just started binging your podcast at work. L O L. She just got up to episode. Okay, yes, yes, ma'am, you're late, but anyway doesn't matter. Happy Place. I'm gonna hate when I catch up and can't listen every day and have to wait weekly. Don't you hate that, Like when you bench a show and then you gotta go back to watching

it like week by week. Yeah, I get it, Um, she said, I digress. But anyway, my happy place is this freaking podcast. So take that, Derek, Um, I love it. Me and my therapist were talking about things that get you back in a good mood, and mine was laughter, and I mentioned the podcast to her, like, regardless of the mood, the podcast is going to bring me to a happy place. Y'all did good with this one great idea, but I need to figure out something else. I remember that. Oh,

she's talking about the episode happy Place. Oh yeah, when we talked about our happy place. I gotta find a new happy place. I gotta find a new happy place. Why because I think I said my happy place with my bed. Oh, I don't know. Is that what you said? I can't remember. Anyway, Oh, I gotta talk about something, Okay, I'll talk about it on the next episode. I definitely come to a live podcast if it was in Atlanta, I would definitely come through. And also, we need a

name for y'all's followers. Rihanna has the Navy Beyonce has be hive. What are the Green Eye bandits followers called? Well? Okay, so so like so our reasonably shady listeners are a reasonably reasonably shady bunch. Okay. I just found that out today, by the way, and we're on episode I don't know. I hate such that multiple times. Alright, alright, well now you know, okay, but but then do we need separate

Green Eyed Bandits? Yes, and I'm gonna tell you why, because um in a rival con um, people would roll up and be like, if they had shades on, they take their shades off. I'm a great I banded too, I'm a green I banded like so many people would say that. Yes, so we were good. Okay, so amor We're gonna think about it and we're gonna get back

to you. Okay, all right, we'll think about that. I thought you were actually going to address the astrology episode because I have an email that that explains, you know, how someone enjoyed the astrology Okay, I was just mad at Derek. Take that. Take that. Take that? Okay, so you got one more? Yeah. So so this is from our bestie Asia. Oh lord, Asia, Asia, I told you you have abused the emails to us. Okay, we cannot read any of your email. Stop it, girl, this is

your last one. Asia. Did you sign up for the Patreon You better hack girl? All right? She did? Okay, Carly says she did. Okay, So Asia from the Ali Hawkins family. Um, she said, hey, y'all, hey, can you come to brival God? All right, so she said, I know my girl just l said. My email privileges were revoked, but I can't get enough of my Green Eye bandits. First of all, you ladies looked fabulous, at fabulous at braval con rocked every look that I saw, and glam

was on point. Thank you Asia. Now, she says, I feel like Robin and I are so similar and I really connect with her. The episode on astrology helped solidify why I am a Taurus and I don't think I have a friend that is an aries, but Robin's Taurist moon has to be why I connect so much with her. Nice. I can't wait to see you ladies on November six. I'm in that jone. Oh she's coming, She's coming after Asia Ali Hawkins. So clearly, Derek, somebody connected to our episode.

Yes on astrology and I actually had a text from my friend that was like, oh, I'm a Turist. Now you have a Taurist friend. I love that. I love that. Okay, and then Asia's coming to the live show.
