Bethenny Frankel's New Attitude, Mary Cosby's Shade, RHOSLC Recap & The Return of RHOBH Oct 27, 2023

Show notes

Bethenny Frankel used to be one of the most respected Real Housewives ever. Has she fallen from grace, risen above and become much bigger and more important than Housewives and does she even care either way? We deep dive her B Strong foundation, share some shocking revelations and analyze whether any of the revelations matter as she continues to fight for many of the current troubling world causes. In other news, we share our hot takes on Mary Cosby - loving or hating her this season on RHOSLC, recap the most recent RHOSLC episode and wonder if everyone on this phenomenal franchise has lost their ever loving mind. Finally, we discuss the return, finally, of RHOBH!!

Jax Taylor Heads to RHOBH, Vanderpump Valley Update, Andy Cohen Reacts To Tamra's FU & Nene Leakes' Marriage Proposal Oct 26, 2023

Show notes

We start with an update on White House Crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi! We know, we know. We did not see that one coming either. Jax Taylor de-boards a plane, drops bombs on WWHL, opens Jax’s Studio City, shares tea on Vanderpump Valley Village and makes a plea to join RHOBH. No really, Jax wants to star on RHOBH - we assume with Brittany as a diamond holder. Once that sinks in, we break down the fall out from Tamra telling boss Andy Cohen to F off, discuss Shannon Beador’s Outpatient Program, offer relationship and love advice to both Shannon and Vicki, propose marriage to one Miss Nene Leakes with our potential move to the ATL and last, but certainly not least, cannot help but wonder what Thanksgiving will be like at Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s this year with a potential Kim Zocliak appearance alongside new prey Chet Hanks. Thank you The Surreal Life.

Luann talks being in Crappie Lake with Sonja and shares updates on Season Two.

TRINITY "The Tuck" TAYLOR - (On Winning Drag Race, Reality TV & Lady Gaga) - Part I Oct 22, 2023

Show notes

Trinity “The Tuck” Taylor steps Behind The Rope. With all the Bravo drama in overdrive this month, we figured it a great day to share this fun, happy, light hearted chat. Checking in from her home in Orlando, Florida, Trinity stops by to chat about all that she has been up to since we last saw her on our TV screens on RuPaul’s Drag Race (Season 9, All Stars Season 4). Trinity discusses the biggest misconceptions and best things about the profession, the path one takes to make a career out of drag and the business side of it all. Flash forward to RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9 where Trinity found herself a contestant in the most coveted of all races. Trinity discusses filming, the competitions, the lip synchs and other behind the scenes tidbits from being a Drag Race contestant. We also discuss fellow contestants, RuPaul and those Drag Race Judges Carson Kressley, Michelle Visage and Ross Matthews. Finally, we discuss some of Drag Race’s infamous Guests Judges such as Lady Gaga and Meghan Trainor. All this and more!

Melissa Gorga Parts Ways w/ “PR Boy” (Fact vs. Fiction), Joey Gorga Slams Tre & Does Keg Stands & Tre Huggers Come For Danielle Cabral Oct 21, 2023

Show notes

Last week may have been the week of Teresa Giudice with Shein family collabs, PBA get out of jail free cards and more love, love, love with Mr. Ruelas, but this is certainly the week of Joey “Josephina” Gorga. Joey had yet another comedy show, slammed Tre at the show, did keg stands with the other college Dad’s at Antonia’s parents weekend and last, but certainly not least, wants everyone to know he is the partner in a law firm in Arizona even through he is not a lawyer. We deep dive all and share on all our hot takes on these pressing events. Meanwhile, in other Gorga news, Melissa and her PR part ways. We break down all the reasons behind this split, explain the final straw that led to this break up, was it voluntary or involuntary, answer questions like, “why now”, explain why “PR Boy” still works with The Marge, Jackie and Fessler and discuss just what is Melissa doing these days now for representation. All the TreHuggers have come for one Miss Danielle Cabral. We discuss why Danielle is having a bad season, will Tre’s disciples be successful in their attempted takedown and what type of edit will Miss Cabral receive and how will this all play out once RHONJ returns to our TVs early next year. Finally, Shannon Beador breaks her silence on her DUI, Vicki Gunvalson demands money, Raquel Leviss sells her Scandoval paraphernalia and Kyle and Mauricio deny, confuse, dance and talk out of both sides of their mouth as the media accuses them of faking it all.
