What happens when you get 4 thirty-somethings in a room reminiscing about middle school? They talk about Paris Hilton.

After taking the tabloids by storm, BFFs Paris & Nicole took on reality tv and divided a generation with the bit of a lifetime.

Today, Gabby, Ivy, & Hannah are looking back at the highlights (and lowlights) of the Fox reality series, and the conversation keeps coming back to one question: Is The Simple Life good?

In this episode:

- Breaking news to Hannah: Nicole Richie is Lionel Richie's daughter

- “Dumb Blondes” - do the girls take the act too far?

- Reality TV exploitation

- Josh gets an anatomy lesson from Gabby’s mom

Oh, and Tinkerbell was there too.

The BoobTube crew takes a little detour over to the world of Martha Stewart Living as viewed through the lens of the Netflix documentary Martha (2024)

From humble beginnings getting yelled at by her father to getting yelled at by the supreme court, we take a look at who Martha the woman is, was and will be, more so than Martha the character.

We discuss:

- Insider Trading

- The morality of cheating

- How many creep connections one girl can have

- Being aware of who write your standup comedy

- A specially signed book?

• The infamous commitment ceremonies
• The "experts" and whether they deserve that title

Mothman, Bigfoot, Hogzilla, the… Ohio Grassman(?), all our friends are here!

Mountain Monsters boldly asserts that not only are cryptids real, they proliferate within a 2-hour radius of Appalachia.

It’s a simple formula: Each week Trapper, Jeff, Huckleberry, and Buck meet with a West Virginia local who has had a cryptozoological experience. They make a plan. Willy & Wild Bill build a trap. Nothing happens. They declare the cryptid scared away. Rinse and repeat. A monster-of-the-week so repetitive that our producer dared to ask our extra special guest “did you even watch the show?”

And yet.

We loved every second of it.

In this episode:

- Hogzilla is Babe?

- Mothman! Queer icon?

- Does Wolfman want scritchies?

- Will the Fire Dragon find love?

- Ohio Grassman victim of home invasion!

Does age matter in love? Netflix’s latest dating reality show Age of Attraction asks that question, but between the low production values, the low stakes, and the low quality of Nick Viall and Natalie Joy’s lacklustre hosting, we were too busy falling asleep to know if they answered it.

Hannah and Gabby are joined by returning guest Ivy to review… whatever this was.

In this episode:

- The BoobTube team’s takes on age gap relationships

- Do Nick and Natalie have anything worthwhile to say? (we have the Lacheys at home)

- The participants and who they paired up with

- The drama, such as there is

- Why this show fails to show instead of telling

- Jorge and Vanelle

- More Jorge and Vanelle

- Seriously, Jorge and Vanelle are the only interesting thing that happened

- the THREE HOUR podcast reunion that was somehow more interesting than the show itself

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives blew us all away when its first episode ended with a domestic violence charge. Two years and four seasons later, that same scandal might end it all.

Gabby, Hannah, and returning SLOMW correspondent Liv discuss the downfall of the MomTok empire:

• Taylor Frankie Paul & Dakota Mortensen’s toxic cycle
• Whitney Leavitt’s redemption arc
• Layla Taylor’s battle with anorexia
• How Jen Affleck revealed herself as fake by speaking the truth

Plus DadTok, Chase playing musical chairs with Miranda’s friends, and Demi’s true colours 🎵

Has SLOMW crossed the line of what’s acceptable to show on reality tv?

CW: This episode discusses verbal and physical abuse, grooming, and eating disorders. Please take care.

Jersey Shore introduced us to an American subculture. Canada Shore introduced us to… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gabby, Hannah, and returning guest Liv do their damndest to make sense of chaos:

• Subculture vs drinking culture
• Snooki the absentee house boss
• The Prince of Kelowna (gives us the ick)
• Why throwing together random hot people does not a TV show make

Plus the leopard hat(s), ChipGate, and how to pronounce poutine.

VH1’s Flavor of Love didn’t just give us a dating show — it gave us an entire cinematic universe (Love-a-verse?) of chaos.

This week, the BoobTube crew breaks down the origins and absolute insanity of the franchise, from Flavor Flav to the undeniable star of it all, Tiffany "New York" Pollard.

We get into:

•  How Flavor of Love spawned an entire era of reality TV 
•  Why New York is the best and why you should think so
•  The contestants "given" names, the chaos, and the clearly producer-fueled drama 
•  The most iconic (and unhinged) moments that still hold up today 

Plus: early 2000s culture, body image, and why none of these people were actually there for love.

Microwave that chicken and get ready for the sniff test! If you watched this at a sleepover… you already know.
