The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Cynthia Bailey has a lot of friendships in the Bravosphere.

How to Watch
Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Sundays 8/7c on Bravo and streaming next day on Peacock.
Cynthia opened up about the friendship and the podcast, Humble Brag with Crystal and Cynthia, during a recent interview with The Daily Dish. "That kind of came out of nowhere last year for me," she admitted about working with the RHOBH alum. "[Crystal] called me and was like, 'Hey, I'm doing this podcast. I really want you to co-host it with me."
But, this was the last thing that Cynthia was expecting: "I was like, 'Wait a minute.' That wasn't on my bingo card. I have a lot going on," she recalled. "But I ended up making it work. We shoot it in L.A."
What is Cynthia Bailey and Crystal Kung Minkoff's podcast about?
In Cynthia's words, "We have no idea what this podcast is about," she explained to The Daily Dish. "We sit down. We have no structure. We have no format, and we just talk. And somehow we manage to do it for a half an hour every time we sit down."
It also helps that Cynthia and Crystal have gained some major fans of the show in the process. "We have a huge following who, for whatever reason, actually enjoy listening to us," she noted.

Cynthia spoke with Parade in December, where she opened up about her friendship with Crystal whom she claims is "super cool."
"I'm an energy person. I just loved her energy," Cynthia said of Crystal. "I just felt like she really was super authentic. People assume just because we all work on a show together that we all connect with each other, and that's just not true. I felt a connection with Crystal."

"I had been developing this podcast for two years, and every time I was ready to go I just was like, 'I don't know.' I wasn't quite ready yet," she said. "I just thought, I really want the right partner, and one day it hit me ... it's Cynthia."
