What Else Is Going On? With Taria S. Faison

I am excited to share my conversation with Mallory who runs the @realhousepinsoc Instagram account and the successful Etsy shop Real House Pins OC. I first "met" Mallory in the dm's when she introduced herself, sent me her number and told me if my son or me and my family ever needed anything when we came to the OC, that her door was open. And since then, a friendship was born!
In this episode we talk, dog attacks and her detective skills (Megan King Edmonds could never), the OC and what it REALLY looks like (the demographics) and close family that are on the opposite side of the aisle from us and the fascination in watching them. We talk about therapy and the stigma in different cultures, anti- depressants, the need to talk more about ADHD in adults and being careful about misdiagnosing ADHD in children.
We also get into cherry picking culture and choosing when to call people out and when not to (your favorites versus people you don't like), when you feel guilty for watching certain Bravo shows but watch others, learning not to judge what others are watching (sometimes) and racist people who love to tan (you have to see the irony.) Mallory also shares a personal experience about being stopped by a cop and I share mine...and they were the same...almost and we talk about a video that demonstrates the lives of many black Americans.
We touch on how Mallory was raised not see anyone as an other, the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement and her path to becoming an ally.
Then we make a quick trip south and talk about The Real Peaches of Atlanta and COVID.
This episode was Mallory and I having real talk about all things real life...and we didn't put a pin in anything!

In this episode, I got to talk to my Boo Carlos @carloswrites and we had a good ole time like always! We talked RHONY (we had a-lot to say), RHOSLC (they are doing what is supposed to be done) and RHOP and the viewers creating teams (are we on a team?) And then we talked Britney and just a lil' bit more on the Will and Jada of it all. I enjoyed every bit of this episode, and I know you will too! And shout out to my favorite podcast producer @cbreezzzey

This week I have the pleasure of talking to Marissa! And when I tell you, we mentioned IT ALL, I mean we mentioned it ALL! We talked RHOD and Brandi (Marissa reads her DM exchange with Brandi), RHOA, holding our reality Bravolebs accountable and what being an ally means.
This episode gave me so much of what I needed...and more!

I am excited to talk to @karabgrams from the Instagram account @everyonesbusinessbutmine and host of the Everyone's Business But Mine podcast! Kara is hilarious, quick, has the BEST voice and her takes are dead on! We start out talking Southern Charm and RHOA and how the burden of educating falls on the People of Color to have all of these heavy conversations (particularly Southern Charm when they have other cast mates to call things out) and we wonder if franchises WITHOUT People of Color will have any real conversations. Then we continue on with the Peaches and talk episode one of RHOA! First, we touched on Kenya Moore on the Wendy Williams show (she said Tanya & Porsha brought the WAP), Marlo and the side we don't often see, Porsha and Kenya's continuing drama and the Instagram like that may have caused it. And we wonder, "Is Porsha the new HBIC??" Andy seems to think so.
Then we jump head first into RHOP! We talked Gizelle's confessional after Jamal missed the pictures (I felt that deeply), Monique's therapy session and how we identify, Ashley and why people forget just how messy she truly is and wonder if she is in it for Michale's reported net worth (I had no idea) and Candiace and Ms. Dorothy (Candiace seems to now have Dorothy's attention).
Finally, we get into Juan and Robyn and there are questions (the streets say Juan has an entire other relationship), Michael's fascination with Juan (stranger danger) and his reaction to Juan and Robyn's engagement, Ashley and her plays to the camera and the finale fireworks that had us cheering Chris Bassett and watching Michael's display of sickening amounts of privilege!
Kara is so awesome and I enjoyed talking about everyone else's business...and not mine!

I am thrilled to welcome back my first guest that has since truly become my friend, @hannahbrown host of the Not Aspirational podcast. Zooming with Hannah is so much fun and easy because we are two friends dissecting these sometimes crazy, sometimes jaw dropping, sometimes "they must be trolling us" reality shows. We first get into the Bachelorette and take a stroll down Ashley Iaconetti's bachelorette history, ugly crying faces and we ultimately agree that we are happy that Ashley and Jared's love story won in the end. Then we get into Tayshia and the our thoughts and feelings on the guys that are fighting for a rose, Tayshia's heart, maybe a part in Fight Club (Hey Noah! We see you!), Ed & Chasen and if former contestant Dale made the Bachelor text thread.
We end up getting back on a path of the past back down memory lane and talk Hannah & Jake and me and Cory (we knew what we wanted and the rest is history), Hannah becoming a mother to Little Cory (she's ready to allergy proof her home for him) and we catapult into what seems like another dimension and Hannah gives me her takes on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which has pleasantly surprised us. We touch on the wife that had a former Insta feud with Brandi Redmond and keeps hot sauce and vaseline in her bag and the wife (hey Mary) that hates the smell of hospital and thinks drinking water could have prevented leg amputation.
After the wild ride of RHOSLC, we touch on Bethenny Frankel and we end the podcast with Hannah making a pact with her future self and congratulating her many feature film lead roles and the Oscars that are sure to follow!
