Our Epic Saturday w/ Sutton Stracke, Jen Shah's Lack of Awareness & Ashley/Michael Darby Reunited (?) Jan 26, 2023

Show notes

With lavish dinner parties for twenty and “dress rehearsal” prison photo shoots, we have to wonder if Jen Shah is still in denial regarding her 6.5 year sentence for which she will surrender early next month. We deep dive what Jen can expect once she enters her new home in terms of day to day life, fellow inmates and living and working conditions as she settles in to life behind bars. In happier news, we spent last Saturday with Sutton Stracke in Beverly Hills! We break down our epic Saturday, The Sutton Concept and who, what, when we can expect the new RHOBH cast to be announced and filming to begin on Season Thirteen. Finally, with Luke and Ashley Darby dunzo - thank you Kristin Cavallari - we break down who Ashley should date next and whether, at the end of it all, she will end up right back in the arms of Mr. Michael Darby and address the Gizelle rumors that they may still be together after all!

BLAIR ST. CLAIR (on Drag Race, Countess Luann, Elle Woods, Gossip Girl & "Legally Blair") Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Blair St. Clair steps Behind The Rope. Blair is here to mention it all. Blair talks their early days of drag, early inspirations from Broadway (can we say Legally Blonde) and how Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf - and their Mom - helped create and shape Blair St. Clair into the powerhouse performer we see before us today. Blair talks Drag Race, All Stars, RuPaul and just how far the show and they have come since those early days in Season Ten. Speaking of coming far, Blair is about to make their New York City Cabaret debut in Legally Blair at New York City’s very own “The Green Room” directed by Countess Luann’s former cab director himself. Blair talks musical inspirations and what we can all expect in this soon to be epic two night performance. Speaking of Countess Lu, we talk Reality TV a la Real Housewives, Love Is Blind, F Boy Island, Are You The One, Too Hot To Handle and many other classics. Finally, Blair opens up about dating in the new year and just what is next for this Drag Race alum who does not seem to be slowing down any time soon.

Show notes

Jenny Hutt steps back Behind The Rope. Let us start at the beginning. After a long career at SiriusXM, Jenny has left the mother ship and started her own Podcast “Just Jenny”. Jenny reminisces some of the Icons she has interviewed over the years such as Dolly Parton and chats highs and low from her time at Sirius. Jenny opens up about the start of her career when she hosted a radio show with Martha Stewart’s daughter Alexis, her TV Show on the Hallmark Chanel of the same name and everything and anything in between. Of course, the convo quickly turns to Real Housewives and Jenny’s Long Island, NY childhood friend, Bethenny Frankel. Jenny enlightens us as to what Bethenny was like in college and how, even way back when, she was determined to know and have it all. Jenny also chats about what it was like to not only work at Sirius when The King of All Media Howard Stern started there but to have been interviewed by Howard on The Howard Stern Show. We - are - not - worthy!! In other pop culture news, we chat Grey’s Anatomy, interviewing Lea Michele, ShaondaLand and oh so much more all of which can be heard on Jenny’s Podcast, “Just Jenny” everywhere Pods are found!
