Dylan is back for another round of Bravo updates, starting with some of the best moments from Lisa Rinna's very buzzy book tour. Next, he digs into the brand new trailer for Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17, featuring two intriguing new peaches: Love & Hip Hop's K. Michelle, and entrepreneur Pinky Cole. Are people being too harsh on RHOA before it's even started? From there, it's time for a RHOBH recap, featuring Erika's insightful therapy session, Kyle and Dorit frenemy updates, Rachel Zoe's most honest moment yet, and… almost no Amanda Frances? Later, Dylan recaps some of the latest developments from Summer House (Jesse Solomon is in the danger zone) and Southern Charm (Salley and Austen, yuck). And he ends the episode with some thoughts on the tragic death of Mary Cosby's son, Robert Jr. Go to the BravoByBetches YouTube page to watch full length episodes every Tuesday: Youtube.com/@BravoByBetches Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode kicks off with dramatic global headlines, celebrity chaos, and major reality‑TV shakeups. The team breaks down the deadly confrontation between a Florida‑registered speedboat and the Cuban Coast Guard, a shootout that left four people dead and six injured. Cuban authorities allege the boat’s occupants—armed Cuban nationals living in the U.S.—opened fire first and were attempting a “terrorist infiltration,” prompting an international investigation and heightened political tension. The crew then dives into the explosive report that Cardi B allegedly flipped out backstage at SNL, destroying equipment after overhearing a joke referencing Nicki Minaj’s MAGA affiliation during rehearsals for the show’s 1,000th episode. Though the joke never aired, outlets report she threw her phone, punched a screen, and threatened to walk out before performing. Reality‑TV fans get big news as Pinky Cole and K.

The episode then turns reflective as Mo’Nique urges fans to rethink the rising trend of GLP‑1 weight‑loss drugs. In an emotional message, she questions their long‑term effects, warns that celebrity-driven hype can push people toward unhealthy choices, and encourages listeners—especially young ones—to “love yourself enough” to trust the process rather than rely on quick fixes.

In this episode, I'm diving into Successful Failure by Kevin Fredericks (KevOnStage), specifically the chapter "Where Hoop Dreams Go to Die." Successful Failure by Kevin Fredericks is a New York Times bestseller that explores how flops, failures, and detours can actually pave the way to real success. Kevin shares his journey with humor and honesty, making it a must-read for anyone who's ever felt like they've "failed" at their original dream. The chapter chronicles the start of his personal journey from aspiring athlete to finding his true calling in comedy and content creation. He shares the pressure of athletic expectations and the identity crisis that can follow when those paths close. The skills and discipline from pursuing one dream can transfer to another path in surprising ways. We can debate if KevOnStage is funny all day, but we can't deny that he is an incredible storyteller.You may also enjoy I Hope You Fail by Pinky Cole: https://www.honeyandhustle.co/i-read-a-chapter-of-i-hope-you-fail-by-pinky-cole-for-you/Here's an article I wrote featuring motivational quotes from KevOnStage: https://www.pleasehustleresponsibly.com/p/motivation-monday-kevonstage-editionThanks for listening!

Today's episode begins with a heavy heart as we discuss the tragic news regarding Mary Cosby's son, Robert Cosby Jr. TMZ has confirmed that the 23-year-old passed away in what is being reported as a medical emergency. We discuss Mary's official statement, her "ride or die" relationship with her son as seen on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and the devastation this brings to the Cosby household. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mary and her family during this unimaginable time.Later in the episode, we attempt to transition into the long-awaited Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 trailer. While the cast has expanded to eight full-time housewives, including K. Michelle and Pinky Cole, the trailer itself feels overproduced and disjointed. We break down the "dollhouse" gimmick, Porsha Williams' new relationship with Sway, and why the "hodgepodge" of storylines has us feeling skeptical about the season's direction. We also look at the fan-favorite return of Angela Oakley and the confusing soundbites involving Phaedra Parks.For More Information visit https://www.georgiotakounakis.comFollow me on Socials: Instagram - @georgiosaysTikTok - @georgiosaysThreads - @georgiosaysGet more scoop by listening to my Podcast - Georgio Says Hosted on Acast.

Entrepreneurship is often romanticized in popular culture, with images of successful business leaders effortlessly navigating their way to the top.

Through her narrative, it becomes evident that true entrepreneurship is not just about achieving success but also about facing and overcoming significant hurdles along the way.
In this episode of The She Said It First Podcast, hosts Jerrilyn Lake aka Indeskribeabull and Lynee’ Monae discuss a variety of topics, but first Lynee’ and Jerrilyn tell the fans What Irritated Them This Week. Today, Lynee’ traveled to Atlanta, and the ladies are in person and that is part of What Irritated Lynee’. Waking up at 4 AM, putting full make up on and going to the airport. She also had a turbulent plane ride. But What Irritated Jerrilyn, is the visit to the gynecologist. Every time she goes, she knows what is going to happen, but still wants to fight that lady. The Pop the Ballon Show has come to Netflix, and Jerrilyn and Lynee’ have expressed their displeasure about how the show was overly produced. They spoke about how it was done on YouTube and was for us, and by us, it had a certain appeal. It seems now when big business has come along it has become what some say is white-washed. Jerrilyn and Lynee’ then spoke about the owner of Slutty Vegan, Pinky Cole, having to buy her business back after she lost control. They spoke about keeping the right people around you. Jerrilyn and Lynee’ spoke about the sensitive story of teenagers Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf in Frisco, TX. Karmelo Anthony was being bullied by Austin Metcalf and his twin brother and Anthony stabbed Austin in the chest, ending his life, as reported by various news outlets. Karmelo Anthony is now in prison being charged with murder. Lynee’ and Jerrilyn wondered why young children cannot just fight and not resort to weapons. Also, when in relationships, when is it okay to pillow talk. But when does pillow talking cross the line.

Join her as she guests stars on the Money Making Conversations Master Class, and try not to drool as she shares some delicious recipes from her book, “Eat Plants, B****.” In addition to food, Pinky outlines the importance of how betting on yourself, even if the world doesn't understand the idea that you are trying to create, can lead to significant returns if you have a plan in place that is true to your purpose and what you want to see in your life.Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's hard to miss a Slutty Vegan when you're driving past one. No, we're not talking about a person… We're talking about a fast-casual burger chain — and a vegan one at that! Since launching Slutty Vegan in 2017, Pinky has seen her plant-based brand through several iterations: a ghost kitchen, then a food truck, then eventually several brick and mortar locations that continue to pop up across the east coast. And with a valuation of $100 million and expansion into other sectors, Pinky is only getting started... This week on How I Built This Lab, Pinky talks with Guy about her journey as a TV producer-turned-restaurateur, and how Slutty Vegan is a prime example of Seth Godin's Purple Cow theory: companies must build things worth noticing into their products and services. Plus, Pinky reflects on her roots, sharing the valuable lessons about discipline and work ethic that she learned from her parents.
