*NEW AND CORRECT AUDIO* Yeehaw yall! Deep dive into the Hunting Wives with Mani (@mixingwithmani) and Kaya (@bravowhileblack). Spoilers ahead but GOOD ONES! Kaya and Mani talked the differences between the show and the novel (we did not read it but light research was done). They talk plot and script, what the sides of the aisle has to say and feel about it, and why it was the actual girly iconic series of the year in more ways than one. Yes we talk with spoilers and we try to talk about all plot lines, writing choices, and artistic choices. So hop up on that bull and take a shot of this, y'all! What did yall think of this show?

Casted off the Love Island (Joint Release with Bravo We're Black) Jul 31, 2025

Show notes

The girlies are back for this emergency collab episode of Bravo We're Black x The Mix with Mani. A certain ChatGPT Heada$$ has been voted OFF the (love) island and a lil scandal has begun as JaNa from Love Island USA Season 6 split from Kenny the menace. We dive into that unfortunate drama as it has been unfolding in real time this week. Breaking it down, also, about how this is dangerous for black women and also affects women everywhere when you peel back the layers of how TRASH what this man did to 1/3 of PPG.
We also are so hooked on our latest obsession on Netflix that we couldn't stop talking about it. And if you know me/her/us, you know it is the most UNLIKELY yet spot on rabbit hole for us to jump down. Are ya'll watching this?
Thanks for mixing with us!

Coping with RHOM and Love Island w/Zac (@Bravooomg) Jun 23, 2025

Show notes

ITS A LOT GOING ON OUTSIDE SO LET'S (responsibly) disassociate! Real Housewives of Miami is back and SO good. Off to a strong start and we couldn't get enough. Lot of life talk, RHOM, and then Love Island! Mani explains Casa Amor to Zac and they discuss all the drama thus far (spoilers) with my good Judy, Zac from @Bravooomg. We are coping (lol not well) with the current state of the world through hot people wearing bathing suits and trashing each others choices. Also, some hilarious Bar Mitzvah stories from Zac and the deets will make you giggle. Let's mix it up.

$92M Birthday and Farewell Twirl Apr 11, 2025

Show notes

Mani took a little break to find some joy (and employment) and she has succeeded in both! The joys and woes of the current state of the world, state of RHOA, and state of Bravo is discussed with Elle Murasaki (Briefed by Elle). Elle, covering everything from politics to pop culture, and Mani try to giggle about the ridiculous things occurring in dc from tariffs to tanks, the captivating scripted tv and competition shows that are being binged, and the way Kenya Moore twirled on the haters and right off the deep end. Did Bravo do too much? Did Kenya? Does it matter how it will affect the season? Can Phaedra save us?! Who knows. Let's chit chat and mix it up.
