On this episode of After Reality, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Christian Long and his mom, Wendy Long, the dynamic duo behind the Oh Honey podcast. I’ve quickly become a big fan of their intergenerational conversations—their charming banter and thoughtful advice always make me smile.

Christian shared how he convinced his (initially hesitant!) mom to co-host the show with him, and we dug into their family dynamics—like what it was like for Christian to grow up as the youngest of three boys, plus his recent jury duty experience. Wendy opened up about her past acting career, and we touched on everything from the challenges of reality TV and social media to the importance of family meals.

Since Christian is a devoted Bachelor viewer, we couldn’t resist filling Wendy in on the latest tea about Mel Owen’s upcoming season. And to wrap things up, we ended with a fun and heartfelt rapid-fire that had us all laughing and sharing from the heart.

On this episode of After Reality, I sit down with Molly Mesnick to dive into life after The Bachelor. We get real about the highs and lows of reality TV fame—navigating social media, the pressure to keep showing up in the spotlight, and the challenge of creating a “normal” life once the cameras stop rolling.

Beyond our shared reality TV history, Molly opens up about marriage, parenting, and her thriving career in real estate. She shares incredible parenting and relationship advice, plus her honest take on why The Golden Wedding left her feeling a little icky. We also look ahead to the future of the franchise—and you won’t want to miss the reveal of which hit reality show she and Jason just turned down.

It’s heartfelt, unfiltered, and a must-listen for any Bachelor fan.

In this episode, Daniel Trujillo and I dive into all the good stuff — pop culture, personal stories, and those little life observations you can’t unhear once someone points them out. We break down the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce phenomenon — her business genius, her songwriting magic, and their internet breaking podcast episode on New Heights.

Daniel gets real about his first job as a dishwasher (we’ve all been there… or at least eaten there), his martial arts journey in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, and how he now teaches self-defense to kids and women — with a big focus on awareness.

Of course, we couldn’t resist dishing on our favorite TV obsessions: predictions for The Summer I Turned Pretty, some hot Bachelor in Paradise takes, and a mutual agreement that authenticity, personal growth, and genuine human connection never go out of style.

On this episode of After Reality, I cover everything from pop culture headlines to personal moments from my week. I get into the news about Andy Byron possibly suing Coldplay over a viral video, and I share my honest thoughts on the current season of Bachelor in Paradise—let’s just say, I have some strong opinions about the direction it's headed and which contestants are standing out (for better or worse).

I also reflect on the heartbreaking loss of some true legends this week: Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Their impact on music, entertainment, and culture won’t be forgotten.

Plus, I give some updates on true crime cases, including Lori Vallow Daybell and Brian Kohberger. And on the personal side, I share a few family stories—like my daughter cutting her own hair, my son’s dentist visit—and wrap things up with TV recommendations. Thanks for stopping by!

I was so excited to put this funny, unfiltered conversation out into the world—but in the rush of things, the last part of our chat didn’t make it into the original release. So here it is, the full version of my episode with Brad Smith—because it’s just too good not to share again.

We unpack some of the wildest recent moments in pop culture—like a CEO’s meltdown at a Coldplay concert and the drama heating up around The Golden Bachelor. We get into the good, the bad, and the hilarious sides of reality TV, share behind-the-scenes stories, and open up about some deeply personal topics, including fertility and the pressures women face. It’s real, honest, and full of laughs—just the way I like it.

In this episode of After Reality, I’m sharing a little birthday update, a wild visit to my psychic (who had thoughts on Mel Owens and his possible ABC exit), plus a recap-ish of the highlights from the Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 (2025) premiere. We get into the tea on Mel’s divorce settlement, the new format shakeups, and yes—this show is still very much a popularity contest.

One standout moment? Dale Moss shows up, and the vibe instantly shifts. It’s wild how much of a difference a finalist makes. I also play the funniest clip from star contestant Katt Izzo that seriously had me in tears.

And don’t miss the bad Trump impression from bartender Wells Adams—complete with clown music in the background. His quote? “I feel like America needs this. It’s inflation, tariffs… it’s a lot of crazy things happening, and we need to watch a bunch of idiots make out with each other on the beach.” Yikes!

Tune in for who’s vibing, who’s leaving, and who just might be the next Bachelor.
