A Therapeutic Dose

On RHOBH, Kyle is officially a 54-year-old 14-year-old as she gets her 6th (and stupidest?) tattoo; Mauricio’s book debut was - figuratively and literally - overshadowed by his teeth; and we learn that Erika’s apology was probably just a PR stunt! Meanwhile, Garcelle continues to win the season! And Denise’s takes to camera were the life of the party. But the episode really centers around the Sutton/Kyle conflict, which winds up being the perfect blank screen for Ramona & Margee to project their respective psychic damage upon. This is why we love these shows! So, be like Crystal and grab a total rando (like, for real, who was Nancy?!) to join you as you listen to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

Between Erika’s sparkly hat-fringe, Garcelle’s burnout pants, and Dorit’s chain link cuffs, we forgot all about Sutton’s stupid pants! But nobody else did. For the Beverly Hills housewives, it seems a 90-minute, semi-nude, male review might actually end friendships. Meanwhile, Sutton and Garcelle ride a gondola, everyone wants Kyle back OFF the wagon, and Crystal is the most forgettable part of Crystal’s birthday trip. Time to pour yourself 24 ounces of vodka and throw it back with this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

While on ketamine, Ramona visits Bravocon and comes face to face with Lisa Barlow from RHOSLC. On RHOBH, Crystal’s 40th became all about Sutton Strake’s slacks, and Ramona & Margee find themselves on opposing sides of the great pants debate. In other news, Kyle’s a pest, Dorit’s defensive, they’re both in the wrong and, to paraphrase Garcelle, we don’t care if they burn! So now it’s time to finish your fish ball, chase it with Ocean Spray grapefruit juice, and… for dessert? Enjoy this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

While Julia Roberts won a Golden Globe for her Pretty Woman performance, PK may lose a marriage after his! Guacamole further exposes cracks in Kyle & Mauricio’s relationship. And Sutton & Garcelle continue to have our most favorite friendship. Oh, and Crystal’s back! But with a tagline that will require all of your brain matter to un-riddle. So come along, Love Beans! Time to join Ramona & Margee for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiere was notably light on Crystal, while hard-launching Ozempic as the season’s breakout “friend of.” The episode opened by introducing us to an only-in-Beverly-Hills menagerie of characters including Eagle Woman, Nancy Raven, and Santos The Horse from the Netherlands. Never a dull moment in the 90210! And Ramona & Margee are delighted to dig in. Erika’s therapy is not working. Neither are Kyle or Dorit’s marriages. Garcelle and Sutton expose that there is no good, right, or easy answer to the vexed question of is it better to be a working mom or a stay-at-home mom. So put out your decorative cheese board, take a seat on a meditation cushion under a grandfather rock, and settle in for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose.

On the RHONY finale, Ubah emerged as the season’s superhero - she said/did/wore everything right! Ubah’s hot takes were the saving grace in an otherwise bitter bowl of Erin & Sai soup. Also, Jessel finally came to play and, while Sai may be “the hungry one,” tonight it was Jessel who ATE! Now blow out the candles on your Nancy Drew cake, cut yourself a nice corner piece with lots of frosting, and enjoy it with this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

As Ramona & Margee reflect on the RHOC Reunion episodes, Margee tries to curb her cussing, Ramona fears the Gunvalson Portal, and both ladies award themselves (i)PhDs! They also weigh in on the cast’s neon-pastel-ice-cream-esque color story, and break down the inaccuracy of the notion of a “bony vagina” and the hilarity of the declaration, “It’s too vagina.” So put on your best blue smokey eye and let’s send out this season of Orange County in style on this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

**NOTE:  This episode was originally posted on 10/2/2023. It showed up in some listeners' feeds, but not for all. We're reposting just in case you didn't catch it last week.**

We take a detour from RHOC this week to visit New York and, while Frank Sinatra may have wanted “to be a part of it,” Ramona & Margee did not! Erin gave us the ick. Sai was a sourpuss. And Jessel’s sex life storyline - like her sex life - was a snooze.  Grab your leftover macarons to munch on as Ramona & Margee break it all down for you in this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

The RHOC season finale felt like a Sponcon/product-placement-palooza! Shannon pitched her butt fountain. Tamra hawked current CBD and future dildos. And Cirque du Soliel suspiciously “inspired” Gina’s circus party. And it was yet another episode spent figuring out who called who a “loser” at BravoCon. Ramona & Margee’s feelings about that storyline can be best expressed in this Heather Dubrow quote: “You are laboring under the misconception that I give a shit.” Thank god/booze for Taylor showing up to the Cirque (#ad) party as a drunken sack of Cotton Candy, giving us some comic relief, and surely birthing a new meme of her housing that ice cream cone the way Scooby Doo wolfs a sandwich. Now, please cut your hair elsewhere first, and then come back in the kitchen to join us for A Therapeutic Dose!

On RHOC this week, Heather threatened to leave Mexico, to which we say, “Don’t threaten me with a good time!” Shannon managed to make vacation joyless & annoying. And four white, blonde women gave a disconcerting salute to a Shaman. There were redemption moments for our villains! Of course they were brief & fleeting, and they all quickly returned to full-hypocrite stasis. Ramona & Margee also touch on HR, DUIs, and Diegos. So, it's time to call a functionally depressed friend, stay on the phone with them as they put toothpaste on their toothbrush, and enjoy A Therapeutic Dose!
