Residential property.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
I like just imagine someone having a ring app and like you get the ring notification and it just keeps going off and going off because people are like on your property. You're like, what the fuck is happening outside? No, exactly. And then he hears about Pokemon Go. I might get annoyed too.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
And threatening. Like, did they go out and like, yo, I'm going to do such and such? Or were they like passive aggressive and just turned on the sprinkler? Exactly. Because that, that's fine.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
I will set goals for myself, but I don't do it around New Year's Day. I mean, both of our birthdays are in March. So I like to use the first three months to kind of catch up on goals that I didn't reach or reflect or things like that. And then for my birthday, I will set goals. So I'll set goals ahead and then I'll officially start on my birthday. I like that.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks

Normal Gossip

Those are superhero movies at this point. It's escapism at its finest. It's a blend of genres. It's actually quite fascinating because you have action, you have rom-com, you have sci-fi. Family drama.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks

Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. It's like, okay, in this universe, I'm trying to figure it out because, like, what is time in this universe? Because you mean to tell me you go to space and come back, like, in a day's time, but it takes me 13 hours to fly to Thailand? And we just went to space? You sent a car to space in 24 hours? What fucking car?

Turn to your neighbor and say amen.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
I think just being more engaged and embedded in your community, honestly. So like if I'm going to give fucks about anything, I'm going to give fucks about my community. I'm going to be engaged in those spaces and in those places. And I think that's where we will find healing.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
I mean, I am. I'm always behind the mic, which I do love. I love being behind the mic. This was just a rare occurrence and I did it for our listeners because they were like, who is the Ciara girl? Like, we know Rachel, but who the fuck is Ciara? And hopefully you like me.

Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
Gossip is like ancestral for me. Like it's in my DNA. My grandmother raised me. I grew up in the South. I'm from Virginia. And my grandmother had 10 kids. I like to think I'm her honorary 11th child because I stay with her during the weekdays. And her having 10 kids, of course, there was mess. Of course, there was like interpersonal messiness.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
It is chaos. So like her kids will call her and be like, mom, so-and-so did this. And she's just like, what? And then they would hang up. And then like moments later, the person that they were having a problem with would call my grandmother. That's beautiful. They was like, mom, did you hear that? And she was like, no, baby, what's going on?
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
Even though the other kid literally just called her moments before. So I was sitting there and I was getting the tea. I'll be watching cartoons and I'll like turn it down a little bit. So it was effort. Like I didn't have a remote. So I had to go to the TV and like turn it down.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
And I would just kind of be listening. And then when they, like, come to the house, my grandmother was, like, big on Sunday dinners, like, shit like that. They would come in, and I'm like, ooh, I know you said this about this person, and I know this about that person. And I'm, like, trying to, like, decipher who's telling the truth.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
And then sometimes my grandmother, like, when she was making coffee and she was feeling chatty, she would, like, talk to me about the gossip. And I'm like, ooh, grandma, what do you think? Honestly, I was producing then.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
You're just like, oh, I'm at the big kids' table. I felt like a grown-up. I don't see gossip as like a negative thing. It is storytelling. And it is no surprise that I enjoy it.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
And it's been like, what, two? Yeah.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
But I mean, we're both, as you said at the top, March Pisces. So I understand why our connection feels like it's been longer, like a long time in the making.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
I was like, oh my gosh. Like, I have crossed so many lines and boundaries. But then after that, it was like a wrap. Like, we were already locked in, but we were really locked in.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
The trauma bonding is real.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
Stuck? This is an active choice, okay? Like, we are locked in, man.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks

It was an emotional day. It was an emotional day. Something did happen. That coat swap situation.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
So, please tell the story. So, there's a coat check. It was our Christmas party slash normal gossip, like, just celebration. Yeah. And I had my grandmother's coat that is like an old school wool coat, gray, unassuming Swedish looking. And it was in the back and it was in our coat check. And between my friend Pallas and my husband Justin, they were like, you know, we were all mingling.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
We were saying goodbye. I think I was talking to you when they went to go grab my coat. They grabbed my coat. I put on the coat. We go to eat because I was still hungry when we left. Yeah.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
It was finger food. And I needed something hearty. Like I was hungry. So we went to Sister's.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
I love sisters. So good. Every time I go to Brooklyn, I make sure I like hit up sisters. Yes. So we go, we leave, we say goodbye to my friend Palace. We go back to the hotel. I'm in the elevator. A couple comes in and then the couple is like, oh my gosh, I just love your coat. And I was like, yeah, thank you. My grandmother gave it to me. Like, you know, she has since passed.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
So this is like my coat that I always remember her by. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then I like stick my hand in the coat and I fill a set of keys.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
And then I look at the coat and as beautiful as this coat is, it is not my coat. And I'm like panicked.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
Yes. So I look, I'm like going through the pockets at this point now. I've already walked to the venue that we were at before and like the coat wasn't there. So then I'm like walking back and I'm like, oh shit, I haven't looked through the pockets.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
I looked through the pockets and there is a piece of paper that was like for an event and it was like a reserved piece of paper and it had Israel's name on it.
Normal Gossip
Champagne, Capers, and Cuddle Parties with Se’era Spragley Ricks
