SONJA MORGAN'S INTERN (Spills The Tea About What This Iconic Position Really Entails!) - I Jul 23, 2023

Show notes

Sonja Morgan's Intern steps 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.

The RHONJ contracts are… With so very much misinformation floating around from various bloggers, Kim D. is here to break down what we actually know regarding next season of RHONJ, the truth behind the contacts, what is definite and what is very much still undecided as fans, listeners and watchers wait for an official announcement from Bravo. In other news, we discuss the truth behind the Margaret not wanting to film with Luis rumors, our involvement and true likelihood Ms. Josephs will return next season. In other news, we had dinner at Rao’s with Bo Dietl this week, attended the premiere of Crappie Lake - thanks for the invite Countess Lu, mingled with some RHONY and more.

Bethenny and Jill have reunited. For an episode of Bethenny’s Podcast, that is.

Finally, we break down Dr. Terry Durbrow’s warnings about our Ozempic journey, Dolores Catania’s recent Ozempic statements and why Real Housewives still won’t admit they are on the juice. We do.

JANICE DICKINSON (on Being Dissed By Andy Cohen & Lisa Rinna, Kyle, RHOBH, ANTM, Tyra, Kendall, Gigi & Madonna) Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

Janice Dickinson steps Back Behind The Rope. She returns! That is correct. The World’s First Supermodel, Icon, Reality TV Star, Author, and Queen of the gays pops by to, in typical Janice fashion, hold nothing back and mention it all. Janice can now add songstress to her long list of monikers because her single, "I Coined It” has changed the game and as the song says, she "owns it, b*tch, b*tch"! We chat with Janice about the viral headlines she made as a result of our last chat about Supermodels Kendal, Gigi & Bella as well as how she feels about Lisa Rinna’s daughters, Rinna, Andy Cohen and RHOBH. She knows 'em all folks. We also chat about those Tyra headlines she made last visit, has she heard from Tyra and whether she has changed her thoughts on the ANTM experience, Eva Marcille or DWTS. Of course, Janice weighs in on The Kardashians, Kris Jenner, Britney Spears, Amber Heard, Bennifer, Real Housewives and every other current pop culture topic that fleets into her rapid fire mind. Of course, she is joined by her BFF Joey Santos to help break it all down!
