161. Paige's exit; Marriage and phone etiquette; Next Gen NYC; Jax is just plain dangerous Jun 07, 2025

Show notes

Paige announced her exit from Summer House this morning, coming off the final reunion episode of Summer House season 9. We have thoughts on why she's leaving and what might be next for her. Amanda and Kyle shared that they have had struggles in their marriage over the last year - and we have some tea on how Kyle's behavior isn't exactly matching up with his words. Is it ever appropriate for a married person to give another person (of the sex they are attracted to) their phone number? How do we handle this situation in our real lives? Next Gen NYC is here and we are pleasantly surprised that we loved the first episode. We do a breakdown on each castmember - backgound and who we're liking and who can go. Plus, our thoughts on why this show really could become Bravo's next big franchise. And last, we share a comment from our friend and Cocktail Party member, @stonecolddaddy about Jax. We couldn't agree more. We hope you're listening on this one, Bravo.

160. Summer House reunion; Breaking down the Lexi vs Lauren Manzo situation; Valley Casting tea May 31, 2025

Show notes

The Summer House season 9 reunion aired this week, along with it a few details about Paige and Craig's breakup. Do we believe that Craig had bought Paige a ring? Ciara shares about her family dynamic, and it makes a lot click into place for us. Would the girls have been more supportive of Lexi if she had taken the time to get to know them? We break down the Lexi (Dina Manzo's daugher) and Lauren Manzo drama. We have some exclusive Valley tea you won't hear anywhere else. Brittany finds out that Jax hasn't been paying the mortgage: We have two different reactions to this situation. The Valley is casting for season 3, and we share who was interviewed and who's vying for a spot. And it's not just Scheana, lol.

159. 3 year pod-aversary; Summer House; Our thoughts on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives May 24, 2025

Show notes

Cocktails and Gossip is THREE years old! Thank you, Cocktailers! We start out with a tangent on what we need in our lives...from home organization to personal assistants who push us to get massages, lol. We have a RHONY casting update plus B has a prediction about Summer House. Amanda's been creeping on Lindsday Hubbard's stories to see whether there is evidence of a gentleman's things in her new apartment. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives dropped ten episodes, and of course, we need to make it about ourselves and the tea we dropped about Jessi Ngatikaura, allegedly, of course. Are these women just mean girls hiding behind their religion? Honest question for everyone - where are the foundations of Momtok written and why is there always dancing? And why we both find all religions to be an interesting topic...

158. A Housewives throuple? Bret Micheals; Did Lexi outplay Jesse at his own game? May 17, 2025

Show notes

Tracy is here and making us laugh, as usual. The RHONY whiplash continues into this week. We're hearing different things from different sources - listen to hear the tea. Love Hotel... and would we date a man who doesn't eat vegetables? Or only eats turkey sandwiches, lol. We have some WILD Real Housewives of Rhode Island Tea. And we mean wild. The Valley continues in its unhinged-ness. Do we see what Kristen sees in Luke now? Does Michelle still have feelings for Jesse? Should we be worried about Danny's darkside? B has a strong, possibly unpopular opinion about Brittany. And on Summer House, did Lexi catch on to Jesse and outplay him?

157. Bravo's new shows - you heard it hear first, years ago. Another new Housewife city filming? May 10, 2025

Show notes

Bravo announced four new shows this week. You heard it here first, in some cases as many as three years ago, lol. But for real, it's a great time to be a Cocktailer and say, I told you so to any of the naysayers who didn't believe that there would be a Real Housewives in Rhode Island...Speaking of, we have more tea on another possible Housewives city that's currently filming plus theories on why we're still not hearing anything about RHONJ. And there's a big rumor going around about a Housewife moving cities...we'll share what we know. And we share why we find the picture of the RHONY cast minus Brynn to be a little sus. Plus, some breaking Summer House tea.

156. Our tea inbox; We don't need Jax; Who is the real Jesse Solomon? Wannabes, "B" warned... May 03, 2025

Show notes

The "send us tea" inbox has been overflowing, so we've got a lot of exclusive tea for you. Starting with the rumors about a housewives-style show filming in Chicago. And then we've got the Valley - where we both agree the show doesn't need Jax. And some tea about a certain scandalous ex bar star doing all the things to get onto The Valley. Angela is proving to be worthy of her peach on RHOA. Carl confesses he has a crush on Ciara on Summer House and it's not as cringe as we were expecting. Will the real Jesse Solomon please stand up? There are rumors about a big shakeup on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills...here's what we know. And B goes on a rant..."B" warned, wannabes.

155. RHOA: What is Drew hiding? Jax and Brittany's fight; Exclusive The Valley tea Apr 26, 2025

Show notes

More on the Beverly Hills demotion plus Erika's cases. Atlanta - what is Drew hiding? Is Porsha showing restraint? This episode of The Valley was...intense. Jax and Brittany's fight - can Jax come out of this? Jesse and Michelle's coparenting. We think they just like fighting with each other and are both being awful. And we have some exclusive Valley tea you won't want to miss. Schwartz is having a bit of a moment right now. Will Kyle ever stop his partying ways? His recent behavior at Coachella is making us wonder.

154. The Valley Season 2 Premiere; Atlanta Aftermath; Bethanny's talking about us Apr 19, 2025

Show notes

The Valley is back and there's so much to discuss. Cocktailers will see the Jax and Brittany tea we've been talking about play out right in front of us. Same with the Michelle and Jesse post-separation/divorce situation. Janet tries to make peace with Kristen, and we're right there with Kristen that we could see right through her "apology". We go on a tangent about couples - is it possible to have one spouse be awful and the other to be a legitimately nice person? The Atlanta aftermath is heavy. And did Porsha really, truly, believe that Simon was 100% legit? Last but not least, our post went viral and Bethenny Frankel had something to say about it.

153. Pop Culture and Astrology with Tasha from @thepopastrologist Apr 12, 2025

Show notes

Tasha from @thepopastrologist is here! The astrological weather has been "interesting" and why Tasha thinks we could be hearing some headlines this weekend as a result of the full moon. What does the astrology look like for the future of Bravo and Housewives? Why were Kenya and Britt a bad sitch from the beginning? What astrologically, do Teresa Giudice and Angela Oakley have in common (besides the obvious financial challenges)? We can't get enough of Tasha's takes. Reach out to Tasha for a discounted Soul Session - new or returning Cocktailers are welcome.

Spencer is an open book and spills some amazing never before heard tea, you won't want to miss. We also get to learn more about his new reality competition show streaming on Hulu on April 11th called, GOT TO GET OUT. How has life been after the fires? Are we finally going to see a Pratt family reality show? What is the secret to being a successful reality couple? And of course, we talk burritos, crystals, Heidi's pop star career, and TikTok. Watch GOT TO GET OUT streaming on Hulu April 11th.
