Love this podcast. Support this show through the ACAST supporter feature. It's up to you how much you give, and there's no regular commitment. Just'Donnell, the host of the new podcast. I know you didn't ask.

I'm here today with one of my besties, one of my mentors, and somebody, don't give me that look,

and somebody who you will all recognize from the Bravo Happy Hour podcast, it's the one,

the only Mercedes. Can you believe that I was the first guest on Bravo Happy Hour? And here we are,

first guest on the new pod. Very exciting. We're going back to our roots here. And I feel like

they bring up something

that sparks something in my brain that I saw in the seventh grade. I'm like, you're absolutely

right. I forgot about how iconic XYZ truly was. But I think that's like the real ones in your life.

Like they just kind of get it. If you don't know who Joe is from the original real house size of Orange County,

I can't talk to you. Honestly, I just ran through so many Joes in my head. I'm like, what Joe is she

going to say? Slades Joe. Well, I mean, let's just jump right into some news. Again, this is
