Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on RHONY and Southern Hospitality?
This sounds like Beyonce won this award because she's Beyonce.
Or is it because Chris Stapleton didn't have a banjo in his album?
Chris Stapleton has a banjo in his heart.
Chris Stapleton has a banjo out of the womb.
Yeah. Yeah. Chris Stapleton was born with a banjo.
Post Malone, though. On a trailer hitch.
F1 Trillion. F1 Trillion.
Post Malone goes from trap to country, and that's okay?
Have you seen Post Malone's first musical video?

Chapter 2: Is Cowboy Carter truly a country album?
No.
Exactly. It took you shaming me.
You said, what are those? Still?
He's like, woo, those are tight. Those are tight. I can see your veins through your jeans. We should probably change. Only one of us.
And I got big old meaty thighs and sometimes.
Nick has a booty and yeah.
Sometimes it was like.
You don't need to look like a gymnast. I really was. It's giving Simone.
It was a pair of like tights for sure.

Chapter 3: What controversies surrounded Babyface and Chappell?
So it's interesting to hear your point of view.
I think it was just a bad, bad move on the chessboard to have that be the topic. Do you think Bryn is trying to produce the show? I think that at times she tried to produce. Yes. Yeah. And I think that no one wants that. So I think we didn't like it. The producers didn't like it. The fans didn't like it. But at the end of the day, you need conflict. And would we have had conflict without Brynn?
I don't know. So in a way, she can be great for that franchise.
Yeah, it's tough. If you really look at it. you know, this drama aside, I mean, to that point, it's like, you know, if Jenna, if Jenna is going to be like, how's my robe? You know, like it's really tough to work with that. You know, if your stick is the unproblematic queen, I don't know how to work with that. It's like,
Listen, I would sit there going, OK, none of us are naturally and organically going to fight. And you know what? Sometimes I'm like Brynn took one for the team in a way that she she was aware of of the conflict that needs to happen in order for this to be interesting, good or bad. And I think that, you know, at the end of the day, though, it needs to be real. It shouldn't be produced.
How did it feel to be in a space that these people preach like, you know, women empowerment and support women and this and that, and then to have all of these women bash your brand?
Well, luckily, it was only two people brashing my brand.
Who were the two?
I think it was only two. I think it was just Brynn and then Aaron at the end.
