MARGARET JOSEPHS Ex-BFF LAURA JENSEN (on Meeting Tre/Aydin, Marge Fall Out, Cheating Rumors & More RHONJ Secrets She Knows) - I Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

Margaret Jospehs’ Ex-BFF, Laura Lee Jensen steps Behind The Rope. The woman at the center of one of the central storylines this season on RHONJ stops by to clarify a few things. So much has been written about the demise of Margaret’s friendship with her over forty year BFF. Laura is here to separate fact from fiction, to detail her much publicized meeting with Teresa and Jen Aydin and to explain whether there is any truth to the narrative that Margaret Josephs has dirt on each of her RHONJ co-stars, including friends Jackie and Dolores, and is trying to take down her colleagues from the inside out. Laura discusses both the “Evan” cheating rumor from last season and upcoming “Melissa kissed Nick” cheating rumor, Marge’s rumored involvement in each of those rumors, what led to the demise of this friendship and what secrets exactly does Marge have on each of her RHONJ co-stars. We want specifics and details. With special co-host, everyone’s fav Saturday Patreon regular, Miss Kim D.

JILL ZARIN (on RHONY Past, Present & Future) Apr 16, 2023

Show notes

Jill Zarin. The Woman. The Myth. The Legend. Everyone always asks us where to find the episode that way back, in another lifetime, once caused a riff between Ms. Zarin and ourselves. A riff that has since been talked about, squashed, moved on from and not revisited. Not revisited except for today where we share another classic lost on the back feed. This is the episode which caused national headlines of epic proportion which Ms. Zarin was not pleased with. Now y’all can listen and stop asking where it is on the back feed. Like we said, we have all moved on. A trip down memory lane with the OG herself, Miss Jill Zarin!

Ariana Madix' Strong Media Game, Schwartz' Disaster & Why Tre Huggers Should Be Concerned For Teresa Giudice Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

While so many of the Vanderpump Rules cast are making fatal mistakes in their public handling of Scandoval, Ariana Madix seems to be playing the media game oh so well. We deep dive what she is doing so right and how the rest of the cast can learn a thing or two from this woman scorned. Next, we break down Tom Schwartz' WWHL appearance from last week, Andy’s drooling over Schwartzy, Andy's advice, Tom's loyalty to BFF Sandy and how ever were the two polar opposites Tom and Katie a married couple in love. We discuss all the opportunities that have already come Ariana’s way - DWTS, Lifetime Movies - and share our hot takes on whether Ariana fatigue will soon set in or if we are just getting started in the year that is Ariana. In other news, we discuss Luis Ruelas’ recent strange behavior, what that behavior is and why all TreHuggers should stop enabling and start warning their chosen Idol, Miss Teresa Giudice! Code Red Alert. Finally, we chit chat RHUGT Three and ask, is anyone watching?

Likelihood Camille, Denise, Kim and/or Teddi Will Be Diamond Holders Next RHOBH Season, Brandi's Bravo Future & Jen Shah's Reduced Sentence Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

So many past RHOBH Diamond Holders, so little time. With Kim Richards, Camille Grammar, Denise Richards and Teddi “Mellenball” Mellencamp filming scenes for the upcoming RHOBH Season Thirteen, we share our hot takes and deep dive which past full time cast members should, and most likely will, be holding a diamond when this fan fav of a franchise returns to our Bravo TVs later this year. One notably absent name from the aforementioned roster, Brandi Glanville. In light of Brandi’s recent tweets that the current narrative regarding Caroline Manzo and RHUGT Four is “ruining her life” and are false, we discuss whether her involvement with Girls Trip Four will really affect her Bravo future and just what that would mean for all involved, the network and Housewives of every other franchise. Finally, we discuss how and why Jen Shah still has PR representation, her hilarious claims that she cares about the victims and just how and why her prison sentence has been reduced by one year.

Scandoval Fatigue, RHONJ Finstas, RHUGT Dream Cast & Denise Richards' Return (w/ The Social Dose Boys) Apr 12, 2023

Show notes

So much Bravo News, Social Media Trends and Pop Culture Nuggets to break down today we do not even know where to begin. First things first. The Scandoval. We analyze why this has become a pop culture phenom and explain why not everyone has fallen down this VPR rabbit hole. Next we break down all the RHONJ drama, the use of Finsta accounts, which Housewives and Celebs are behind which Finstas and why the RHONJ, RHOP and RHOBH women seem to use them more than any other franchise. Speaking of RHOP, we deep dive why Miss Candiace Dillard Bassett is carrying that entire franchise on her back, the joys of “Deep Space” and what we can expect as she heads out on a nationwide tour later this year. Finally, much like fantasy football, we break down our ideal fantasy RHUGT All Stars Cast just in case Bravo ever asks us. C’mon, you know they will. All this and more as we are joined by the boys from The Social Dose Podcast, Paris Nicholson and Michael Judson Berry

DEE SNIDER (on Reality TV, Beyonce, Drag Race, Twisted Sister & Being a Rock Legend) Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

Dee Snider steps Behind The Rope. Dee chats about what it was like to front Twisted Sister, one of the biggest Metal bands to emerge from the 80s and have two of the biggest Rock Anthems of all time, “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock”. Dee gives his nod of approval for current music and chats Beyonce, Katy Perry, Pink and Christina Aguilera and one epic Diva who does not make the list. Dee talks the rock star lifestyle, taking on Tipper Gore and The PMRC, being the first “Drag Queen” a la heels, rouge and heavy eye makeup before it was “en vogue”, accepted or Drag Race was even a mere thought and why certain artists like Lady Gaga should, and probably would, pay homage to “the first”, and why Twisted Sister is not in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Finally Dee talks reality TV - Growing Up Twisted, Celebrity Apprentice and his recent star turn as “Doll” on The Masked Singer.

CHARLI BURNETT (on Vanderpump Rules, Being Hazed By The "Mean Girls" & LVP) Apr 09, 2023

Show notes

Never judge a book by its cover. When I sat down to prepare for this chat with then Vanderpump Rules newcomer, Charli Burnett, I said what the F am I going to talk to her about. She had been on the screen maybe 5 mins max up to that point. Boy have I never been so wrong. This interview took place right around the time Stassi and Kristen were infamously fired. This chat turned out to be an expose of hazing the new girl by what Charlie called the “mean girls” - Stassi, Kristen, Katie and last, but certainly not least, Jax and LVP’s involvement in it all. The more Charli talked, the more specific examples of mean girl behavior she gave, the more I could move believe my ears. Do yourself a favor, do not google this viral chat until after you have listened! We are thrilled to share this blast from the past here with you today.
