186. Kandi and Todd’s divorce; SLOMW: We can’t look at Fruity Pebbles the same; Monique in public with her boo

Kandi and Todd Tucker have announced their divorce. But Cocktailers knew. We have posted tea dating back to last year and even earlier that we had heard their marriage was on the rocks. We do have some tea on what may have caused this…and we have opinions, of course, about the prenup. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has popped off on social media this week. Oh my hell. We break down the background and the details on why Fruity Pebbles now has a whole other meaning. And yet again, content we posted in Cocktail Party has come to the light. This time, it’s with Monique Samuels. She has been seen in public with her co-host who she allegedly had an affair with. Cocktailers always know first!

What’s up? Cocktails. Hello, Amanda. Hi B, hi. Cocktailers, happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. We are fully in it, and what’s becoming a yearly tradition, we need to know, when are you making the salami bread? You know, usually we do it Thanksgiving Eve, because we retired our, like, all night drinking shoes when we had kids. So but I have friends in from out of town, so we’re actually, I’m doing when I get off of here, I have to get ready, and I’m doing a dinner with like, a bunch of friends from high school. So that’s gonna be so fun. So I actually made it on Sunday. So I had to, like, freeze it, and then I had to defrost it and the whole thing. But it’s just there was no other time perfect. And I mean, if you’re going out with your high school friends tonight, yeah, I’m lucky if I was giving you a little tonight. I’m just saying I’m lucky if I can remember to defrost the bread tomorrow and bring it to my cousin’s house.
No, it’ll be fun. And you know how it is when you’re with your friends from when you’re younger, a part of you always like, reverts to that. So I’ll definitely have too much wine. Yes, I love it. Yeah, I saw your post about that, and it was so funny, because I was talking to somebody about that, about how just a few days before, about how big the night before Thanksgiving always was like it was the big night. And I think, Well, it’s because I posted a meme and it said, millennials, here’s the thing, Gen X is 100% right? They did invent it. I consider myself. I’m a zennial. So xennials are people born from, I think, 77 to 83 so you’re a xennial too. Yeah. And what a xennial is, for those of you that don’t know, it’s a mixture of Gen X and millennial, because we were alive before the internet was a thing, like for me, yeah, we were at dial on high school. Yes, I got dial up in high school. So, like, I very much, had the wall phone and online exactly, but like I was, we’re millennials because we also were part of the digital age. I’m an elder millennial, so I do have to give to all of you who DM me and we’re like, B Millennials did not invent new year, excuse me, Thanksgiving Eve as the drinking.
Whatever you’re right, it probably was Gen X for all I know, it could have been the boomers, I don’t know. Yeah. I mean, that’s okay. If they started it, we continued it, perfected it. I just got to know, like, Gen Z. What the heck are you guys doing? First of all, doing it so funny. I don’t know. I have my little cousin as a freshman in college, and I feel, based on what I see on her social media, I feel like she’s dropping it like it’s hot. The difference is these girls have a much bigger budget, because she’s drinking like surfsides and high noons, whereas I was drinking like natty light, pop, pop, yeah, and draft beers at the bar that I had a fake ID to go get into kegs and eggs. Yeah, yeah. I never actually had the eggs. The first time I did kegs and eggs, I was like, where’s the eggs? And everybody was looking at me, like, oh God, how’d she get into this school? Oh, my god. That’s so funny. That’s so funny. Wow. Amanda, yes, what candy and Todd, Oh, yeah. So listen, Amanda, and I had been hearing this for a while. We posted back in April 2024 a blind. There was another blind that one of you guys reminded me about, that people had assumed was, Oh, geez. Who did they think it was? It Kim’s back when? No, they had assumed it was, I can’t remember who it’ll come to me at some point during the pod, but they’re like, Yeah, people thought it was so and so, but it maybe they thought it was the Aidan’s, I don’t know, but yeah, we had a lot of intel about this, and then this week, we really had a couple of sources confirm it. So we did before candy announced it. We did share cocktails. Knew about the split. I think that if you’re a candy fan and you kind of follow her closely, you’ve known, even though they so she, in the filing, said she was separated since July, and I know, just based on socials, that timeline sounds right, but she also admitted on her Amazon live like she said, this has been a slow burn, like this didn’t happen overnight, and I think we kind of all knew that, yeah, I think it’s safe. You think it’s safe to tell that story now, right about that picture? Yes, okay, we got an email. I want to say b This was like a year and a half, yeah, ago. Don’t quote me. I think we shared this on cocktail pod only. Okay? We got sent a picture from a cocktail or, who said, I swear I just saw Todd Tucker talking to some woman that I don’t recognize, standing outside of a car at the mall. And she said there was touching and hugging. I didn’t see any kissing, but it seemed like a relationship situation, though, and you know, we followed back up, and she’s like, I’m pretty sure that it was him. You and I looked at the picture many times, and both were pretty sure it was Todd, but we didn’t, we didn’t post it for a couple reasons. One, there was a chance that it wasn’t him, and two, it might have been him, but not in like a cheating situation, because the cocktail or didn’t witness any any kissing, that sort of thing. And so I still stand by the decision that we made at the time, but it definitely makes us go back to that time and look at it and look at it sideways. Yes, I mean, I feel like we held off posting. We did share a couple of blinds because there was a lot of chatter. Like, when we share something, when we share something of that magnitude, please know that it’s not one rogue email, right? Like, we compile stuff over time, and so when we pulled the trigger this week to post that, I just have to say, though it we’ve been posting stuff, and then the confirmation from people comes the next day. So I don’t know if people are soft launching with us or what, but we thank you, whatever it is. But to your point, we don’t just launch it if it’s one, like the whole Kyle and Amanda thing. Because, of course, you know, people are pointing back at us, saying, See, it’s not true. It’s not true, and we’ve been getting a lot of summer house to air. Let’s wait for summer house to air. Guys, we posted about candy and tab for the Todd for the first time in April 2024 they confirmed it in November 2025 okay, over a year later, these things don’t happen overnight, and there is another couple with a lot of assets to divide. Okay, so, but Todd, I always wanted to think that Mama Joyce was wrong. Yeah, the day after they announced that, Todd posted some meme to the effect of, you’re the CEO of your life. Hire and fire accordingly. And to that, I’d like to say, Fuck you, Todd. Nobody knew who you were, Tucker Buddy, it’s a bad look. It’s a bad look for you. You have two kids, and you co parent, two kids together, two other kids together, your four kids between you. It is nothing bad to say about you if you’re Yeah, you know what I mean, because candy does keep it classy. Yeah. And like, we hear a lot of things non confirmed, unless.
In the streets have been speculating about him and Bambi. If you guys have watched Love and Hip Hop, you’ll remember that Bambi was with scrappy Bambi started in a film that he did. They seemed very cozy in pictures. I think it’s pretty well known that they had threesomes. Apparently, he was also stepping out several cocktails. Witnessed him on dates with women. One person said that she saw him on a date with a woman years ago. Another said that about three years ago, she saw him at javier’s in Century City, at the bar with a lady. So I don’t know what their arrangement was, but we do know that they’ve decided to go their separate ways. Yeah, right, and we know they had a prenup. For those of you guys who watched their wedding special, it was discussed so it was they had both openly disagreed on camera about the term. Todd went back and spoke to his attorney. He was questioning specific clauses and admitted that the paperwork made him uneasy. He said on the show, you can’t be mad at me for dealing with my lawyer, and he has concerns. Is this effing personal, or is it just business candy? Then said, How is it personal to say that you get what you get and I get what I get? So one of the clauses you guys will remember was that Todd would have to move out of the marital home within 30 days if the marriage ended. And he said, How do I even get out of the house in 30 days? And you know, he things got so tense, it felt like the wedding might not happen. He said, I don’t want your effing money. I don’t think there’s gonna be no wedding, but as we all know, spoiler alert, there was a wedding in April of 2014
so they’ve been together over a deadline, and then they have had decade. What did I say? Deadline? Yes, what the heck? Obviously you’re shadowing work where you have deadline. I don’t, I know. I am like, I feel like I’m like, one of the few people, besides you working today. I’ve been working all day. They had ace Blaze. And then you guys know he was stepdad to Riley, and he had his own daughter, Kayla, from a previous relationship. So I think these numbers are from at the time when they got married, that Candy’s estimated net worth was at 30 million because of her music career, tele, television career and businesses, and Todd’s was 400,000 I don’t believe those numbers. I actually think Candy’s number sounds way low and Todd’s sounds way low too, because of all the things he’s been doing since, oh yeah, candy, that’s the it. I just wanted to you said some of this, but one of you guys shout out to Asia. We love Asia. She always gets me good stuff. She said, she resumes. I love her. Love her. She saw clips of him signing their prenup on their wedding special, I guess they’ve been circulating around social media. And basically, according to the clips, he gets no spousal support, no attorney fees. Has to be out of the house in 30 days, and anything they need during their marriage has to be split. 5050, she said something that I also picked up on in the clips is that, though, bravo, cameras were rolling. Her attorney also set up a personal camera to record, and specifically asked him if he was being forced to sign this and if he was under duress. That’s our girl. Get it candy. This is how it’s done. Yes, it is. It is. Listen, marriage, if all of our unmarried girls, ladies men out there listening? Yeah, so many things that Bethany Frankel has said over the years I laugh at and so many things I think she’s so spot on when she went on her rant about marriage being a business partnership. It is a business partnership. When you enter it with anything of your own you need to protect your assets, period. Dot, there is nothing romantic about it. It just is what it is. It’s like, if somebody loves you, it shouldn’t matter. The thing is, everything we just said was 11 years ago, and they’ve created a lot of things. They’ve done a lot of ventures. I know in their divorce filing. We’re not going to go piece by piece, but there was something where she said they have both accrued debts, right? Because not all businesses work out. Todd’s name is on a lot of stuff. So I’m sure it’s a very complicated split. I am sure, although her prenup is ironclad, that man is going to fight for money. He seems to really like the yachts that he goes on and everything else. Yeah, he’s obviously worth a lot more than 400 and to be fair, he did help, and he was her partner in life and in business, and he should be entitled to some things over the course of their marriage. I always believe that regardless of gender, if you’re the man, if you’re the woman, no, I completely agree. I.
I think that, you know, I mean, and they’ve it’s not just that he was staying home with the kids while she was out doing stuff. He actually CO produced Broadway plays with her. His name was on there too. They own a trucking company together. Did you know that? I mean, I know a person whose father owns a trucking company, and they seem to do very well. So that sounds to me like a very lucrative venture. But okay, so he didn’t sit on his ass. He is not saved. He worked okay. But my thing is, it takes money to make money. Oh, yeah, i right. So he wouldn’t have been able to start a trucking company or produce a Broadway show without not only Candy’s fame, but Candy’s money. So that needs to be taken into consideration. I don’t know if 5050, is a fair split, but that’s not I mean, so yes, even if her money and her clout was used to finance some of these joint ventures, unless there’s something else written in the business agreement that only a certain you know, he had only a certain ownership of the company, that kind of thing. Otherwise, he does deserve half the profits, if that’s the way their prenup is written, because even ironclad prenups wouldn’t keep Todd from earning money during their marriage. You know, I I’m with you. Yes, he deserves. I just hope he doesn’t try to get challenged, try to grow our stuff. Yeah, and because, I mean, guys, I also would imagine they have probably set up trusts. I would imagine already have set up trusts for all of the children. So there’s gonna be something, you know, there’s gonna have to be some you know. Let’s hope he’s not trying to go after that kind of stuff as well. But I did see that she is asking for for child support.

So when I looked into that, because I saw that too, it basically means she’s gonna let the language said she was gonna let the courts decide sort of thing. I don’t really know what that means, but, yeah, but it could be a situation too, where, because, you know, child support, I don’t know if it works this way at every state, but you put your numbers down in this, like, spreadsheet and worksheet kind of thing, and then it spits out, like a number. But there can be any couple can make any different kind of arrangement. They could say, I want you know my ex husband or my ex wife to pay 50% of of agreed to costs like tuition and sports and clothing, etc, so child support can look and it can come in multiple different forms. I and a couple of people DM me because Todd posts a lot of pictures with his children, and I hope it’s just because he’s a happy, proud dad. But people were like, do you think he would try to get more money by going for full custody? I would hope he wouldn’t do that. Because, first of all, I don’t think that he would win. I don’t think there’s a world where that would happen. But also, what candy said on her Amazon live was, our priority is raising our kids, and the hope is that they can have a friendly relationship for the sake of all four children involved. And as an example, Kayla obviously is Todd’s daughter. She’s launched, yeah, but like, she’s Todd’s daughter, she’s older, she’s 29 Riley’s 23 but like, I hope I don’t see candy doing it. I would hope that Todd doesn’t put anything into place where Kayla needs to feel weird walking into Candy’s house, or Riley needs to feel weird walking into Todd’s house. Like I would hope that they keep it so that they separate their assets in a fair way, and that everybody is comfortable with siblings moving forward, yeah, because you know, Kayla and Riley are close, and at the end of the day, everybody’s going to choose their biological.
I would assume I don’t know, I don’t know the specifics of Kayla and Todd’s relationship, but one would assume, so you would just hope they keep it where that doesn’t get messed up. And I’m excited to see candy. I don’t know if we call this her second act, or her third act, or her I just her next act. We’ll call it that post divorce and taste of freedom and, you know, kind of figuring out, you know, I, I think you and I have had this conversation about the pressure to have kids before a certain age, and Candy had her kids. You know, she’s built a great career, and it’ll just be interesting to see what she chooses for herself in this next step. Yes, I’m with you. I hope it’s housewives, but I don’t think it is. I hope it is too yesterday, you and I were texting, oh my god, felt like the whole internet was popping off. Yesterday, Secret Lives of Mormon wives. For those of you guys who aren’t watching yet or aren’t caught up, I just want to do a quick summary of kind of what’s happening on the show. It premiered November 11, I think, and we were all deep into bravocon. Content so and traveling for bravocon, yeah, as our listeners, so it’s possible that you’re behind, but we’re gonna catch up. Very possible. Yes, so and anything I’m kind of saying to you guys is not giving you really too many we’re not doing, like, a ton of spoilers if you, even if you don’t watch the show, it’s still interesting drama, like, if you like the other shit we talk about you, like this, you just need to get a little caught up on what’s happened so that you can pull out your popcorn and enjoy it while we’re talking this. Okay, so you guys might remember that the Mormon wives went on a trip to Vanderpump Villa during their season two. So Season One had not aired yet when they went to Italy to film Vanderpump villa. Hulu, I think, thought they were going to be a hit, and sent them during that trip to me. So you’ll remember Angie. Our sailors know all this because we posted all of this in cocktail party. Yeah. So you guys will remember Angie Harrington from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. She was the blonde who’s married to the kind of fat, chubby guy who set up a fake account, etc. Okay, Demi is married to Angie Harrington’s ex husband, whose name is Brett. Brett is 16 years older than Demi, and he was friends with her parents, and that’s how he met her. Ew, ew. Demi, he’s hot, by the way. He is very handsome. He looks a little like Brett younger. Brett Farve, okay, so Demi obviously married. When she was at Vanderpump villa, she had a flirtation and possibly more. This is part of what’s up for debate with one of the staff people and stars of Vanderpump villa, Marciano. Then after the trip, Jesse, who happens to look a lot like Demi, which caused a little confusion at first, but everyone, I think, is straight now, Jesse met up with Marciano in LA after, I think they both did Sheena’s podcast, and we also had this in cocktail party. Yes, this one we kind of busted wide open, actually, wow, because we were all confused. We’re like, Wait, it wasn’t looked to me. It was with Jesse, is that right? And then the cocktail was like, no, no, no, for sure, it was Jesse. And so, yeah, busted that wide open. So Jessie shared a couple of kisses with Marciano. One of them was very public, which is where the cocktail or saw them, and then had an emotional affair with Marciano, even though Jesse was married as well to her husband, Jordan. So when season two ended, Marciano tells one of the other wives that he and Jesse had sex, and at that point, nobody really knew anything about what had been going on with Jesse and Marciano. Then season two reunion, and then beginning of season three, Jesse denies the sex part and says we only kissed twice, and it was an emotional affair. So now we’re in season three. The whole season, pretty much is about unwinding and trying to figure out what actually happened. We get a lot more revelations, and we’re following, obviously, all of the aftermath, including the fact that Jesse and Jordan are separated during season three. Demi also then comes out and publicly says that Marciano, when they were at Vanderpump villa, sexually assaulted her because his advances during that trip were not welcome and the.
Filming of just to give everybody a little bit of a timeline, the Vanderpump Villa trip was in summer of 2020. Jesse and Marciano were seen kissing in September of 2024,
season three of Secret Lives of Mormon wives. It was filmed in March, April, maybe a little bit into May of this year of 2025, so back to present day. Me and Jesse hate each other, and this week on Heather McDonald Marciano was on her Heather’s podcast. And he said that when the Mormon wives came to Van der pump villa, their show hadn’t aired yet, so no one knew who they were. He said that him and Demi clicked instantly. She asked him for therapy sessions where they talked about their current and past love lives during a game of Truth or Dare. He asked if he could kiss her on the cheek. She said, Yes. He says he was hyper aware of cameras and boundaries. Before she left Italy, they shared a quick off camera kiss as she left, she told him she loved him, and he said it back. They kept talking after Italy, and then we saw Marciano on the show a couple of times, and Macy and Michaela tried to investigate and figure out who was telling the truth. Then Demi starts crashing out
similarly, Yeah, yesterday or the day before, Demi starts crashing out publicly on social media and writing comments on Heather McDonald’s account about her podcast with Marciano and everything he said in one of the comments, Demi accuses Heather of deleting comments about marciano’s criminal past. Heather says she did not. Demi says she knows Marciano did it. Demi says in the comments to Marciano, was your dad this big of a pussy too? I’m sure he’s looking down so disappointed in what an embarrassment you’ve turned out to be. She’s since deleted that comment his father is deceased, so that’s just terribly disgusting thing to say. Then someone named Jeremy Green, who hosts a podcast called The simplistic show, and who had previously interviewed Marciano, jumps in and says to Jimmy that she’s about to get sued, we have some cocktail emails on that we yeah, we’ll see where we get to. Okay, so that’s a lot, right? But that’s not a haul. So I guess sometime this week, Lisa Vanderpump was interviewed and asked about all of this, and said, Happy you reviewed footage from Vanderpump villa, and Lisa comes out and says there’s nothing to Denise claims that she was assaulted. So I’m gonna take that one with a bit of a grain of salt, only because I don’t think Lisa has supported a lot of toxic men over the years behind the vault. Jax James, the list goes on. So her comment doesn’t really mean anything. I can tell you that somebody and I reposted it who was on Vanderpump villa. She was a bartender. She really her and Marciano did not like each other. They were not friends. On the show, she came out and said, I don’t like him, but the sexual assault thing is not true, and she was there while they were filming, so I’m just Yeah, yeah.

Alpine bank committed to Colorado and you
somewhere else, Demi posts a tweet or comment somewhere saying that Jesse is somewhere punching air right now because Lisa Vanderpump is talking about Demi and not Jesse. And then this is where things get Cray So Jessie then claps back with a video saying, literally saying this on camera. Demi’s husband, Grandpa Brett, likes to drink her piss like it’s dirty soda, and he drinks it like water. And that’s what Fruity Pebbles is. Because you guys, if you’ve watched it coming out, I want to say in I can’t remember what season one or season two, there was something about Brett and Demi using fruity pebbles in the bedroom. Yes. So then it became very dramatic when somebody brought it up, yes. And.
Then to me, comes out with a statement, written statement on her Instagram, what my husband and I did one time behind closed doors was a consensual and private experience in our marriage. I won’t let a private act between my husband and I be a distraction from a serious act that I did not consent to. I and she’s referring to the Marciano situation. I shared this information with Jessie in confidence nearly two years ago. It’s very telling that she’s choosing to break storyline and bring it up now, only after her own affair has come to light. There’s this is nothing more than a desperate attempt to shift attention away from her own behavior. So Jesse then comes back and says, I love a good PR statement. Shift attention away from what exactly I’ve been the only one between the two of us that actually faced my story head on and shared the details I’m not hiding from a damn thing. You’re the one hiding, sweetheart, and everyone can see it. Okay, so first of all, I agree with Jesse, because Jesse has come out and admitted everything and done it on camera while I’m taking a breath after all this story like, what are your thoughts be Demi is the one who didn’t show to the reunion, right? Oh, for season three, yeah, oh, I don’t know. For Season Two. She didn’t come for season two, right? She said they had a lot of Disney, and then after that, she came up with a sexual assault. Listen, as a general rule, I believe women. I think that she said this after all the stories came out about her cheating, there were just she was fine with him publicly, the fact that, and I’m not, I don’t take Lisa’s because a lot of you guys, when I shared what Lisa said, I was just sharing information. I wasn’t saying I believe that I don’t take anything Lisa says because I know that she supports toxic men. But there are several people who don’t like Marciano who came out and said that it wasn’t true. I the chef who, like hated him, even said, like that, nothing. Yeah, it’s not this is not right. This is not fair. This is not okay, yeah, the thing about it is that secret lives of Mormon wives, on the whole, these people make up stories, lie, and then, like, months later are like, Okay, here’s the real story. So, like, I don’t know. I don’t I’m hesitant to say, don’t believe to me, I do think she’s crashing out majorly. I think her admitting that her husband drinks her piss is psychotic. Like, I think she admitted that possibly it’ll look like, see, I’m gonna admit this really embarrassing thing. So wouldn’t I admit if I had an affair? You can’t go back for what you say. You deflect. I don’t know if that’s the best way if you’re gonna engage in deflection. I just honest to God, it is like middle school, early years of high school, and these women are in their 30s. It’s bizarre. Is completely bizarre. It’s finally cheating, the like the nonsense around all of it, but the cheating too, oh no, all of it, and the way that the other women are so involved as well, right? Because the whole focus of the season is Michaela and Macy lead the charge to figure out what really happened. And they’re the ones who they go and have a lunch with Marciano, and then they go go back and they give them a lie detector test, and it’s like they’re very much involved in each other’s businesses when they all actually have things going on in their life as well in, I mean, and then, yeah, it’s anyway, it’s, it’s very entertaining to watch, don’t, you know, don’t sleep on this show. It just got picked up for season four. So there will be 20 more episodes, I think, coming in early 2026,
and then reunion quick turnaround time. It is great, yeah, yeah, it is quick. The reunion is on next week, on December 4, and Stasi Schroeder has is hosting, which I and we were covering the reunion, yeah, did they record that already? I think they did. I think they did Yes, because I think we saw, yeah. We’ve seen footage already of Stasi asking, I do feel like they’re gonna get cameras up and get this on camera, and I don’t know if they’ll save it for next season. I think they have to give us something at the reunion that addresses this. I’m sure Stasi, who loves mess, would be more than happy to get a check and sit down with a couple of ladies and hash out this social media fight. Yeah, I mean, this whole thing, guys, it’s all just so it is. It’s wild, just to say the least. And like, it’s almost like Pandora’s box got opened. And, yeah, you can’t, you know Whitney and and Jen Affleck are in LA filming Dancing with the Stars. I think Taylor’s off filming The Bachelorette. And they’re all like, you know, there’s they show pictures of Whitney and her robe getting ready, like looking at her phone and laughing. Jen, Alex just records of a video of herself looking into the camera.
Laura and laughing. It’s wild. I have to imagine that Bravo liberties are quaking in their boots, because these girls bring it in such a psychotic way. And you got a bachelorette and not one, but two of them on Dancing with stars this season like that’s big, and it makes me think that it makes people on the valley and Summer House want to up the ante themselves, because you have to bring it right, otherwise people may start tuning in elsewhere. Yeah, and that, I think both, I think all the shows that you just kind of mentioned once again, you know, I think we’re starting to see that. I don’t know if there was just a feeling that, like the younger kids, couldn’t bring the drama, but we’re seeing that, you know, a next gen and a valley and a secret lives of Mormon wives, as long as there is an actual foundation of real friendship there, the drama they this younger generation seems pretty good at bringing it. Speaking of next gen. It was so cool to see first of all, Gia won Special Forces with Sean, the gymnast, right? That means the gymnast. I didn’t actually watch it. I do plan on watching it, but I didn’t watch it. I’ve never watched Special Forces. Congratulations to GIA and like her whole cast. I don’t know if every single person was there, but it looked like everybody was there at the party they had, like a viewing party. Was so nice to see. You saw her grandmother from her dad’s mom, her Nona judici. You saw her uncle, who looks just like Joe Judy che and then you saw Joe Gorga was there, and Louie was there, and Theresa was there. And you know, that was very nice to see. I Bravo versus healing. Bravo versus healing. But I would like to note not a peep about jersey. Andy ain’t playing. He is not picking cameras up. Just because they decided to play nice doesn’t mean he will. Yeah, I haven’t done it yet. Side note, Melissa’s cookies are in shop rights all over New York and New Jersey now. That’s so exciting. I’m so happy for her. I think, you know, we have so many people who like break the law and act crazy and drink their spouse’s piss, and it is sort of refreshing, because people would always say and listen, we’re here for it, right? We’re here for the piss drinking. We’re here for all of the stuff that we watch and our mouth hangs open with. But it also is refreshing to have reality stars who you actually would want to hang out with and who didn’t have to, like, resort to breaking up their marriage or doing crazy shit to have a successful career outside of housewives. So yeah, yeah, that language GIA, like, I gotta give her her flowers here, because, of course, the reason she got the show is because she’s an apple baby. But that is not the reason she won the show. She won the show because she’s a baddie. And, yeah, she did that all on her own. And I think that’s freaking, like, fantastic. She beat all the dudes too. You know, did not have an easy life just because you grow up in a fancy house with fancy cars. She didn’t have it easy. She had a lot of quarrels in her family dynamic that she like, lived through and was very involved in. We all watched it on TV. Both of her parents went to jail. Both of her grandparents died. I know grandparents dying is a natural cycle of life. But, like, I guess, because we watched it on TV, her father’s deported and lives in the Bahamas. I mean, her fighter has been gone since she’s in eighth grade. I think that’s a lot. You know what? I mean, it’s a lot. And I think we see a really strong young woman, and nothing is more evident, like evidence, than her winning Special Forces, like, she ain’t your average rich kid, yeah, and not that she’s even rich, because it’s very similar, I would say to, like, it’s funny, because Kim zolziak and also Ava dash, they’re Nepo babies by name, but they don’t really have the financial backing of being a Nepo baby, you know, like, Riley Burris is legit. Her mother’s multi she’s got a trust fund and everything. Charlie’s got a trust fund and everything. Like Brianna, why am I not thinking Ariana, Brielle, Ariana. I always confuse the names Ariana, Gia and Ava. Their names got them on the show, but they have to hustle their asses to make some money because there’s no mailbox money coming at them. Yeah. Oh, good job. You used that perfectly. I love it. I love that mailbox money. But Amanda that wasn’t our only subscribe the candy and Todd split wasn’t our only cocktail tea that was confirmed this week. Yeah, in June, we posted a blind about Monique Samuels, the housewife from Potomac. Yeah, it said the housewife that we just heard is returning for the show’s 10th season. Was fired from the radio station. She was allegedly having an affair with one of her co workers, who also has been fired. He thought he struck gold because she had a rich husband, but the former NFL husband won the divorce settlement, so the returning housewife couldn’t be his sugar mama and pay his child support if he left his wife. So we posted this, ah, I didn’t write the date.
In June. So we’re in November, and she was spotted with this same guy licking him, or something weird, like romantic but, like, weird, like, not piss in your mouth, weird, but weird. This is just my go to. Everything is going to be, like, judged based on piss in the mouth. Wes Wilson’s a licker too. He’s such a licker, we have to say something about him too. Just a reminder that sometimes it takes bit okay. This is my reminder to you guys. Sometimes it takes time for people to file confirm publicly. Get caught, like things in cocktail party. I it actually brings me great joy. I don’t go on Twitter a lot, but when people are like, oh, yeah, that wasn’t true, and it’s a week later, yeah, let’s give it a few months. Everybody, yeah. You know, months later, we get confirmation this intel doesn’t come from nowhere. I’m just reminding right speaking of West Wilson, oh, wait, hold on really quickly on that topic, yes, day before Thanksgiving, which is today when we’re recording Christmas Eve. You know, whatever the last work day is right before the holidays, New Year’s Eve, days like that are when news gets dropped. So, you know, we the thing with candy and Todd totally made sense that it was posted on it shared on a Friday, because that’s, you know, that’s when these things, because they call, they try to bury the news as much as possible if they have bad news to put out. So be on the lookout for other pieces of news, is all I’m gonna say, Yes. At The Tile Shop, we partner with pros to help them grow. Rudy’s experience says it best.

So tell me what you were gonna tell me about. Tell us about what you were gonna say about less I was saying about how people told me he was tall, like he was taller in real life, because he’s always with Jesse Salomon, who was like six six, and Carl, who’s very tall, a cocktail, told me that she’s six foot and he’s taller than her. She said he’s probably about six one. I just find that shocking. He doesn’t seem that tall. But also, I guess Sierra is very tall and thin, so she looks like even taller next to him. Hmm, there you go. Maybe it’s not just the BDE and he’s actually a taller dude. Somebody said, when, when I reposted Todd’s post about how he’s the CEO of his life, they said, and this is no offense to all our short kings, but they said, Oh God, Todd, stop acting your height. I’m like, You got you guys say the funniest shit to me and my DMs. I love it. I love it so much. We love you guys. We have a million things to get through as you all do. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. You guys are probably you’re hearing this a day after Thanksgiving or the Saturday, we hope you had a great Thanksgiving, and we hope that you take time to decompress. The holidays are stressful. I always, and I feel like I’ve said this every year on the pod, I love Thanksgiving, and now, as the mom, the adult, the one like in charge of getting all the things done, I really love that. It’s just about, like, Turkey and pies, and there’s not the added pressure of gifts like Christmas, right? I agree. We have a month too. So like, let’s get our stuff done. This is I’m like, telling myself, but like, let’s get stuff done so we can enjoy it. And I know holidays are hard for a variety of reasons. There are people that were here last year that aren’t here this year or haven’t been here for the last few years, it brings up a lot of emotions. So just try to take time for yourself and whatever that looks like for you, give yourself some grace and love. Yeah, agreed, and just know that we are so grateful for you guys really thinking about the last couple years of building this cocktail or community and doing this podcast and hearing people say things like, I feel like I’m when I’m listening to you, I feel like I’m in the car talking to my best friends.
