Show notes

Jodie Sweetin steps Behind The Rope. Jodie is here to chat about the full anthology of her career none the least of which is her role as Stephanie Tanner on Full and Fuller House. Jodie chats about what life was like on set as a then child working alongside a cast of colleagues who became life long friends - Candiace Cameron, Bob Saget, John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, Dave Coulier, Andrea Barber and Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Jodie shares highlights and what it was like to reprise the role of Stephanie twenty years later now as a grown adult. Jodie chats about the fashion mavens the Olsen Twins’ have become a la The Row, their lack of participation in Fuller House and whether they may ever return to the franchise. Of course, Jodie discuses the many projects she was worked on outside of Stephanie Tanner - Dancing With The Stars, Pants-Off Dance-Off, Hollywood Darlings and all those feel good Christmas movies for Hallmark and Lifetime. Finally, on a personal note, Jodie opens up about the loss of Bob Saget, her “TV Dad”, how she is doing mere months later and whether this would affect another reboot of the Full House legacy in any form in the future.

SONJA MORGAN'S INTERN (Spills The Tea About What This Iconic Position Really Entails!) - II Jul 30, 2023

Show notes

Sonja Morgan's Intern steps back Behind The Rope. Ok let us back up for a second. She has a name. Meghan Hubert. Now that RHONY has been rebooted and is back on our TV screens and Sonja and her sidekick Luann are tearing it up in Crappie Lake each week, we figured it a great time to revisit this viral chat with one of Sonja Morgan’s iconic interns. Meghan talks about the application process, interview, first day on the job and fellow interns including the one and only Pickles. No discussion as an intern would be complete without discussing the iconic townhouse and iconic toaster! Full details provided. We also break down what a typical day and typical night as a Sonja Morgan Intern looks like. Yes, night because Meghan moved into the townhouse to be available 24/7 to Miss M. Of course, there were also the watch parties at Sonja's house during the Real Housewives of New York City Season and all that behind the scenes RHONY talk, the good, the bad, the in between - Ramona, Lu, and so on. Even our buddy Harry Dubin is part of this blockbuster episode. Didn't see that coming? Neither did we. Of course all good things must come to an end. We finally get into Meghan’s resignation, what that process looked like and how Sonja took the news. Part II starts now.

Our Dinner w/ Bo Dietl At Rao's, Dating PK Kemsley & The Truth Behind Raquel Leviss' "Rehab" (w/ Rachel Uchitel) Jul 28, 2023

Show notes

Rachel Uchitel joins us to help break down all of this weeks Housewives Bravo gossip. Turns out Rachel was in the same “love rehab” as our girl Raquel Leviss. Rachel discusses what The Meadows Rehab and Wellness is really like behind closed doors detailing the day to day, ability or inability to communicate with the outside world and whether it is really possible to rack up a $200,000 bill as rumors of Raquel’s return to VPR linger. In other Rachel Uchitel real life news, way before Dorit, she dated PK. Rachel describes her fast and furious relationship with PK, the meet up, the breakup and weighs in on the recent insurance claims, lawsuits and life of one Mr. and Mrs. Dorit and PK Kemsley. Speaking of Rachel and dating, we fixed her up on a blind date with everyone’s fav PI, Bo Dietl, at Rao’s which we had to attend to supervise! True story. Finally, Kyle and Mauricio’s separation has sparked so many opinions and comments from the BravoVerse that we figured it was time to revisit all that is out there and separate fact from fiction regarding infidelity rumors, sexual identities, labels, sobriety, business, family, social media posts and of course The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as cast mates Garcelle, Sutton and Erika Jayne have all weighed in and broken their silence while RHOBH cameras are picked back up to capture this all in real time. Whew!

Raquel Leviss (Becomes Rachel, Returns to VPR, Demands Money), Kyle Richards (Sends Mixed Messages) & RHOP Cast (Rumbles To The Ground) Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

With Raquel Leviss returning to Vanderpump Rules, we break down whether she was bound by a prior contract, held out for a boat load of money, came back as a wounded bird or strong warrior women who now goes by the name of Rachel. Speaking of strong women, Kyle and Mauricio’s separation announcement is still causing all sorts of speculation and half truths that we figured it a great time to check in and help separate fact from fiction, one scandalous rumor at a time. Speaking of Scandals, we break down the recent Real Housewives of Potomac smackdown, analyze whether viewers want to see nasty physical fights to stay engaged with Reality TV or prefer something light and bright like arguing over cheese on the new RHONY and discuss the likelihood of ever seeing this RHOP brawl on our TV screens when the show returns for an eighth season later this year.
