JAX TAYLOR (on Brittany, “The Valley”, Stassi, LVP, Sandoval, VPR & a "New" Jax) - I Oct 28, 2024

Show notes

Jax Taylor steps Behind The Rope. Jax is here for a nothing is off limits chat breaking down the full anthology of his time in the VanderVerse - the highs and lows of VPR, cast mates, and ultimate end. Jax clarifies the circumstances surrounding his and wife Brittany Cartwright’s exit, the many misconceptions about it, and the truth as to what actually happened. Jax also talks about the end of his friendship with Stassi, ups and downs of his relationship with Lisa Vanderpump and ins and outs of his bro Tom Sandoval. Recorded in a simpler, and some could argue more peaceful time, before “The Valley”, before his separation from Brittany, Jax talks about a new show he was trying to get off the ground about “Daddy Jax” set in the valley, discusses married life to Brittany and much more. They say hindsight is 20/20. Today we put that theory to the test by sharing this never before aired chat, uncovering easter eggs, foreshadowing and so much more. A nothing is off limits trip down all things Vanderpump lane with the #1 guy in the group, Mr. Jax Taylor.

GRETCHEN ROSSI (on Tamra's Reign Of Terror, Kelly Dodd, Possible RHOC Return & Slade Smiley) II Oct 27, 2024

Show notes

Gretchen Rossi steps back Behind The Rope. It is hard to imagine it’s been seven seasons since Gretchen was last a full time cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County. Gretchen reflects back on her several season run on the granddaddy of The Real Housewives Franchise. We discuss the good (meeting fiancé Slade Smiley, performing with the Pussycat Dolls), the bad (there seems to be no love loss between her and former co-star Tamra Judge, the 80s Bunco Party, a reference to a certain muppet who goes by the name Miss Piggy), and the other (how RHOC has forever changed her life). Gretchen chats about many of her former colleagues - Vicki Gunvalson, Heather Dubrow, Alexis “Jesus Juggs” Bellino and more. With all the talk in the past few weeks about Tamra’s “Spectrum” Diagnosis, Tamra’s Takedown, potential lawsuits and former RHOC cast members and Housewives across all franchises, including Gretchen, weighing in on the current and decade long past actions of Tamra, we figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Gretchen Rossi. Part II starts now.

Teresa & Louie's New "Scam", Jennifer Aydin's Delusion, Melissa's Message To Tre & The Grand Dame's Bad Week Oct 26, 2024

Show notes

RHONJ may be off the air but many of our favs, who may or may not be returning, have been making quite the headlines this past week. Teresa is urging, or begging based on how you read it, everyone to sign up for some website where we can all make free money to the tune of 50K a year. We break down this very strange biz venture, share updates on Louie’s other biz ventures and answer just what is going on across the river in the Giudice / Ruelas household. Jennifer Aydin cannot seem to accept her fate that she is probably not returning to RHONJ, claims she has spoken to Andy Cohen, slams Tamra as thirsty and backtracks on many of her current statements regarding her cast mates and future of the show. Finally, Melissa Gorga shades Teresa and explains why she follows all the rules unlike her beloved sister in law. In other news, RHOP Season 9, Episode 3. The Grand Dame is in the hot seat as everyone has questions about her DUI, Gizelle remains mad over the GNA event and public headlines arise that her attorney’s motion to dismiss the case against her due to a lack of Miranda Rights has been denied. In other words, the Grand Dame in headed to face a jury for her fateful actions the night she got behind the wheel of the car, allegedly, intoxicated. Mia is messy AF, Stacey becomes enraged with Ashley, Gizelle and Wendy are actually getting along and, even though we are only in episode three, the ladies prepare to head on a cast trip to the far away and exotic state of North Carolina. How exciting.

Jennifer Aydin’s Denial Over RHONJ Future, Katie Maloney In Love & Jen Shah’s Early Release and RHOSLC Return(?) Oct 25, 2024

Show notes

Crystal Kung Minkoff and Cynthia Bailey have a new Podcast and we have a lot to say. This season of RHOP continues with the two main OGS - Karen and Gizelle - still at odds. Yes, Ashley, we know you are an OG too. Jennifer Aydin continues in her five stages of grief and still seems to be clueless about the fact that she will not be returning to RHONJ. RHOSLC continues on with Mary’s participation, Whitney and Meredith growing farther apart, Bronwyn making the rounds and much more. Katie Maloney is in love, Jen Shah’s release date is moved up again and RHONY continues on with highs, lows and everything in between.

Teresa Giudice Mad At Jacqueline Laurita(?), VPR’s Return w/ Rachel Leviss(?) & Tamra Judge’s RHOC Future Oct 24, 2024

Show notes

Vanderpump Rules Season 12. The rumored final season. We break down what to expect, who will and will not be back and whether Rachel Leviss, now that she has ended her Podcast, will return for one last hurrah. BravoCon 2025 is set to return, sorta. Teresa Giudice may be angered at Jacqueline Laurita based on some of Jacqueline’s recent comments, Tamra Judge’s “bad”, or “bad edit” depending how you look at it, season of RHOC continues, Teresa Giudice’s current stint on The Villains may be helping her RHONJ future and last, but certainly not least, Rihanna has made some crazy, confusing observations reading the Housewives and RHOSLC, RHOP and RHONY.
