TAYLOR DAYNE (on BFF Jill Zarin, Homeless Not Toothless, Madonna, Tina & Being a Pop Legend!) Jun 25, 2023

Show notes

Music Legend Taylor Dayne steps Behind The Rope. Having just run into Taylor at Dorit Kemsley’s “Homeless Not Toothless” full RHOBH Cast Charity Event, we figured it was a good time to share this chat we had with Taylor back in the day. Did you know Taylor is very close friends with the one and only Jill Zarin? Taylor takes us when back to the beginning when Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister helped her chose her stage name and what life was like before hitting it big with the Smash “Tell It to My Heart”. Taylor’s stellar book by the same name “Tell It To My Heart” is a must read - juicy!! Taylor discusses her career which has included selling over 75 million records worldwide which makes her one of the best selling musical artists of all time. We discuss some of Taylor's famous friends such as Whitney Houston, Clive Davis, Belinda Carlisle, Debbie Gibson, Paula Abdul and Tina Turner. Oh, let's not forget her friends Madonna, Prince or Michael Jackson, who she opened for on his infamous BAD tour. We just cannot. Say whaaat? We also talk about Taylor's take on some of today's hottest acts such as Halsey, Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande. An episode not to be missed with legend Taylor Dayne.

KIM D. (on Fake RHONJ Reunion Receipts, Mel's "Lawsuit" Against Tre, Joe Gorga's Volatile Past & Next Season) Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

Just when we thought it was safe to turn on our Bravo TVs again, the RHONJ drama just will not stop and seems to be continuing even though the most toxic season in RHONJ history has come and gone. Kim D. is here to help separate fact from fiction regarding police reports, receipts, lawsuits, private investigators, jail cells and much more. Though all of this, she reveals never before discussed past violent behavior by Joe Gorga - which she witnessed, discusses the claims that Teresa and Luis marriage is in trouble, shares a message for Mel and discusses newly received information about the future of the RHONJ franchise - who is likely to go, who is likely to stay and when, realistically, we can expect contracts for the new season to go out.

How RHONJ Can Move Forward w/ Tre & Mel, Luis & Tre's Marriage, Marge's "Police Report" & Our Message to Mel Jun 23, 2023

Show notes

With the most toxic season in RHONJ history behind us, we sure did not think there would be anything left NJ related to discuss. Boy, were we wrong. First off, we share an update on Miss Melissa Gorga, Joe Gorga, Bo Dietl and much, much more. With many people claiming “fake receipts”, we deep dive the validity of police reports, lawsuits, baby mamas and more. Looking ahead to the future, we break down a way we think The Real Housewives of New Jersey can possibly, maybe move ahead with both Teresa and Melissa. Maybe. Possibly. Maybe. We also discuss the involvement of the house husbands and why we may see Luis, and Joe Gorga - if he returns - and the rest of the boys take a major back seat next season.

Vanderpump Rules (What To Expect Next Season), LVP's New Show (What We Know), Tamra's Return (Has She Saved RHOC?) Jun 22, 2023

Show notes

So many Housewives franchises, so little time. First we discuss the return of RHOC, contemplate whether Tamra Judge has saved the franchise, and break down whether the rest of the season will live up to the hype. Heading north, we focus on what we can expect when RHOBH returns in November, whether anyone will miss Rinna or Kathy and why there have been no press leaks during filming. In the Vanderpump world, we chat about how and why everyone is winning in Scandoval, share info we know about Lisa Vanderpump’s new show, “Vanderpump Villa” and explain what the next season of Vanderpump Rules will look like. Finally, we break down the Bravo shade as they edit Nene Leakes out of past season flashbacks, share updates on Kim and Kroy’s just getting started legal drama and chat whether Kim Zolciak - she dropped the Biermann from her social - will be headed back to RHOA sooner than later.

TYLER HENRY (on Being a Hollywood Medium, Life After Death, Naysayers & The Kardashians!) Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

Tyler Henry steps back Behind The Rope. You may think you know everything about Tyler from watching his original E blockbuster show, “Hollywood Medium”, eyeing his most recent Netflix incarnation, “Life After Death”, reading his many books or attending a live show in hopes of making it off this 300,000 person long wait list for a rare live reading. Tyler is here today to break down what is fact versus fiction in his highly praised, often misunderstood, day job of a medium as well as chat about how he started, what happens during a reading, and the question on everyone’s mind, just what does really happen after we die. Of course, we deep dive the many celebs he has read, new biz ventures, why there are still naysayers, and the biggest misconceptions about his non traditional craft. Have questions about the other side? Sit back, relax and press play.

KIM D. (on Luis Ruelas' Strange RHONJ Reunion Behavior, Tre's Hate, Melissa's Lies & Why None of It Matters Anymore) Jun 17, 2023

Show notes

With the final installment of the RHONJ reunion having now aired, Kim D. is here to break down the end of the most toxic season in RHONJ history. Luis’ stranger and stranger behavior, Tre’s no more namaste, Tre’s declaration that this is the last time she will ever speak to her brother, Melissa’s smugness, receipts that no one cares about, Andy’s disdain, walk offs, yelling and lies. Of course, there is the also constant mention of many off screen supporting players past and present - Juicy Joe, Jacqueline Laurita, Laura, Nick, Bo Dietl and more. As far as the real world goes, there is just as much happening off air as on - and you thought these weekly chats would be slowing down with Kim D. now that the season ends. Kim details her recent phone call with Vanessa - Luis Ruelas’ ex - about her new claims against Luis and all the on line chatter against her, Bo Dietl’s recent message to Joe Gorga, Kim G’s recent tweets claiming she knows who called the FBI and much, much more.

RHONJ Reunion Recap, Our Clap Back at Melissa w/ Receipts & Who Will Not Return Next Year to RHONJ Jun 16, 2023

Show notes

We have heard so much about Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix’ sandwich shop Something About Her that we decided to stop by in a true boots on the ground effort to check things out ourselves. We break down what we saw and share an update on all things Vanderpump and Scandoval. In other news, we clap back and respond to all of Melissa Gorga’s ridiculous claims about our Podcast, about our interviews with both Juicy Joe and Jacqueline Laurita and much more all before thanking her, with exact and specific receipts, for paying her $14 a month as our of our loyal Patreon Members. Thank you Melissa. We analyze the just completed RHONJ reunion, explain why Tre is the most protected housewife - love her or hate her, chat why Luis is ratings gold and double down on why we think this is truly honestly Melissa Gorga and Margaret Joseph’s last RHONJ season as Bravo and Production begin a New Jersey state wide search for the next batch of RHONJ newbies. Congrats Cabral and Fuda, you have earned your stripes and the future is bright.
