Hey everyone, welcome back to the Mention Adol podcast.

I am so thrilled to have my guest here today.

She is an OG Bravo superstar and she is back where she belongs on the brand new show,

The Valley Persian style.

Please welcome Mercedes-Javid.

Welcome. I love you. Thank you for having you here. I want to say, I feel like I speak for a lot of Bravo fans. It's good to have you back on our screens. It's good to have you back in the fold. I think people really missed you guys and it feels good. It was true that when you would go out into the world and people would

come up and be like, when is the next season? Because you know how Bravo is very stealth? They don't

really announce anything ending. Right. So we would say like, it's done. And they were like, no,

like even Rihanna. She, seriously, she DMs and says, did Shaw's get canceled?

And by the time that she noticed, I was like, our new season is coming out in six months.

Amazing.

It was like that.

I feel like it's crazy, though, because it's been like four and a half years-ish since the last season of Shaw's ended.

Yes.

Which is a long time, but then it also feels like it flies by because, you know, we were in

pandemic and people were raising families and you and Reza both did have done traitors.

So we've gotten to see you a little bit there.

And it just feels like sort of the timing

has to figure out and work out. And now you have this new show with all these new people.

And it feels fresh and exciting. And like we have new ground to cover with all of you in a way

that I don't, if it was Shaw's season 10, it would have been great in its own way,

but it would have been something different.
