00:00Topic number two. We all heard the news of NeNe Leakes leaving the Real Housewives of Atlanta,
00:08but it seems like Bravo already found a big-time replacement. Allegedly, Kim Fields is rumored to
00:15join the cast of the upcoming season. So do we think it's a slay because we all love Tootie and
00:21Regine Hunter, and it's nice to see her back on TV, or do we think it's a shade because it cheapens
00:27her brand? Slade or shade? What are your thoughts? I think Slade. I think it's good. We're all agreeing.
00:35Ty, I'll start with you this time. I mean, like you said, I love Tootie. I thought I was Tootie. I used to
00:41skate around the house, okay? I did that. In the house? In the house, I did. In the house. I got a whooping
00:47or two about it, but it happened. But I think it's really probably a positive thing for Kim. You know,
00:53since she hasn't been on air regularly, she could possibly use it as a platform to launch some bigger
01:00things. NeNe is doing bigger things, so let's celebrate NeNe for moving on and figuring out
01:06what those other things are, and let's give Kim the opportunity. Okay. And perhaps it won't be so
01:10mean. You know what I mean? Perhaps, maybe. It could change the tempo of it. It could change the tempo. I want Tootie to be sweet,
01:16though. I'll be honest. You want sweet Tootie. I actually want to see a mushroom. I want to see a mushroom on her or a topknot. I totally do. And a topknot. And you don't want to ruin the memory of Tootie. Yes. I understand that itself. I remember Regine, so I'm just excited to see her back on TV. And I think any way you can really, A, promote yourself now, period, and B, get money in acting, you should probably do it within, you know, within reason. She's not being asked to be naked. She's not being asked to degrade herself.
01:46And I think within these shows, what you give is what you get. So if she goes out there and she does something great and she goes on the show and she's not about being mean or whatever, I think it's a perfect platform. Do what you gotta do. Have fun. That's a good point. Yeah, why not? Charlie? I think it's a sleigh on both sides. It's a sleigh for NeNe because she's earned this and she's moving on to something that makes her happy and she's worked hard for that. It's a sleigh for Bravo because they found someone to replace her that we want to watch and we want to see and we can keep the show interesting. And people are interested in. Absolutely.
02:16I want to see what's going on with her.
02:17Everybody with it.
