BravBros

What's up Bros? It was Steel's birthday yesterday (happy birthday me) so this episode is a little later than usual, but we are headed to Anguilla with the ladies of RHONY. Up first though, we talk some news. Erika Jayne's show is selling tickets for $7.00 a seat, RHOSLC is back and Courtney (Ralph's "cousin") used to live in Tampa... Jenna is headed down on her first girls trip a couple days earlier than the crew to build up a base tan. As she's shared with us she is a insecure about her genetic disorder and how her skin looks as a result. Although she let's it slip to Erin that she also feels some type of way about flying coach... The general consensus amongst the group (and us bros)is that she just needs to be honest about her reasoning. The little lies don't make a whole lot of sense. We get a check in with Brynn and her brother Daris, and we continue to get a peek into Brynn's psyche. She explains that due to her difficult upbringing it keeps her from being able to take the final step in her relationships and actually get married. The crew makes it to their destination but tensions are high as Erin has let it slip to the rest of the group that an underlying reason for Jenna's early arrival is her not wanting to fly coach. Then its off to ATL for the first part of the reunion. And it was great. Sheree defends her actions throughout the season and the ladies all agree, while she is the peacekeeper, she is definitely the bone collector as well. Kandi and Drew are at odds as Andy highlights the shade that Drew threw towards Kandi, Todd and The Pass after commenting she's only doing "Lifetime and Above"... The drama, although entertaining, is clearly building towards the Ralph, Courtney and Drew saga. While we do get some little snippets here and there about what we can expect next week, we're still waiting for some answers. Courtney defends Ralph and Drew reads her (rightfully so) about coming after her kids in the final scenes of the last episode. Hopefully next week is as entertaining with some more info on what we all want to know. Did Drew and Latoya kiss? Is she with Ty Young? What the hell is going on with Courtney and Ralph? All that and more on todays episode!!!

Whats up Bros?! We have a jam packed episode for you today as we wrap up this season (and possibly the last season with this cast) of RHOA! Before we get there, we have to discuss the news of Lindsey and Carl calling off the engagement. Rumor has it that Carl is the one that called things off. Then its off to Atlanta. Ralph and Drew have reached a breaking point as we finally get into the details of what's not working in their relationship. Ralph has moved out of the bedroom and when he finally returns to marriage counseling he claims he made the move to "better himself" and to "make Drew more comfortable". This entire episode was all evidence that Ralph is a manipulative, gaslighting and extraordinarily selfish and at times it is genuinely painful to watch. Kandi is throwing a wrap party for The Pass and we see Allison confront Courtney over the "bitch" issue. Which is really confusing because as seen in the video, Courtney says "this bitch" and points at Sanya. Regardless of who was called a bitch... who cares? It ends with Drew and Ralph filing for divorce as rumors begin to spread of an alleged relationship between Drew and former WNBA player Ty Young. The final check in of the season is a heartwrenching scene with Sanya as she explains the details of her pregnancy and the miscarriage. Which in sharing with us showed tremendous strength and courage. We end on a happy note as her and Ross are pregnant again! Then we're back in Orange County where Shannon is continuing a very bizarre warpath. She claims to not have any recollection of seemingly anything she's ever said. She plays the victim and acts as though the whole group is conspiring against her and John and talking behind their back, when she is the one offering up the information. Jenn still has her reservations about moving forward with Ryan in their relationship as she's concerned his past behavior may show up again. He replies with he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. And "those boobies". Because he's a child and a moron. The episode ends at the pumpkin patch when Gina calls out Shannon for bringing up Child Protective Services in regards to Gina's DUI. Shannon definitely crossed a line but then acts as though she would never say such a thing. Meanwhile Tamra proves once again she's a horrible friend when she tells the group she doesn't remember Shannon saying anything about CPS... Even though she talked to Jenn at the dinner table about Gina's DUI while Shannon was talking about CPS. Buckle up Bro's.

What's up Bro's?! This week we are joined by our fellow Philadelphian Kate Casey of Reality Life with Kate Casey to discuss all things Real Housewives. She fills us in on some great Sports Doc recommendations in the beginning before we dive into the state of Orange County. We discuss whether or not the friendships seem genuine and can this show continue with how it's currently going? Then we're on to RHONY and Kate is fresh off of an interview with Jessel (which airs Thursday, make sure you tune in) and we finally get to get deeper into Jessel's story. She opens up to her mom about IVF and her difficult journey with conceiving the twins. It's nice to hear her finally soften up and be vulnerable and her strength is admirable in sharing this difficult journey with fertility. Meanwhile, Erin has had it with Sai and Brynn in the aftermath of her party. However when confronted, Sai doesn't care and everyone in the group writes off Brynn's flirting as "that's just Brynn". One, Sai needs to either bring her own bagged lunches or stop complaining about food everywhere because its getting old quick. Two, just because Brynn is a known flirt, does not mean that her behavior with Abe was appropriate. Instead of the two women apologizing for clearly being rude, the emphasis is placed on Erin for being "too sensitive". The show is getting better and better and we think Bravo is doing a great job in bringing in the new era of Real Housewives. All that and a whole lot more on todays episode!

What's up Bro's? Steel's down Wildwood for the weekend and Shooter's gearing up for vacay so the boys are in good spirits. Up first we get back to Atlanta and filming for The Pass is in full swing. Sheree is throwing a sip and see for Mecca and as her own reveal party as a Glamma. Drew and Kandi continue to have issues with Courtney and questions whether she called Drew a bitch. Ralph continues to suck as the tension between Drew and him seem to be at an all time high. Oh, and Sheree finds out that her ex husband Bob has an adult daughter that she never knew about. Then we're back to OC where for the second episode in a row, we enjoyed it. Don't call it a comeback... but we continue to see issues stemming from Shannon and her relationship with John. While she claims to not want to talk about it and puts the blame on everyone else... every woman in the group references drunk phone calls they received from Shannon in regards to her relationship. It boils over to the point that Heather, Emily and Gina all refuse to attend her Fiesta. Meanwhile, Shannon discusses how she saved Gina from her DUI and kept GIna's kids from being given to Child Protective Services. For someone that doesn't want to be talked about thats sure a weird comment to make. Heather gets a shwanky apartment in LA as she prepares to spend more time in Hollywood. Emily reaches a breaking point with Shannon and calls her Jekyll and Hyde which couldn't be more fitting in our opinion. She continues to play the victim while she seems to be the root of the problem. All that and more on todays episode!

What's up Bro's?! We bid farewell to what was a delightful first season of Crappie Lake. Sonja and Luann are putting on the town talent show, Benton Follies, and it's a beautiful send off for the ladies. The show was heartwarming even though Steel is a tough critic. The overall sentiment of this episode is that not only did Sonja and Luann have a huge impact on the town, the town left its mark on them as well. The people of Benton are sad to see our RHONY OG's leave and we the viewers were sad to see the show come to an end. It was a perfect ending to a great season. Then we're back in NYC and Erin is getting ready to "renew" her vows, but it's actually the first time her and Abe are saying vows. Unfortunately Ubah has covid so she isn't going to make it to the party, but we find out that Jenna has broken up with her girlfriend of a year and a half. Although according to her it may have been an on and off scenario. Jessel and Pavit are discussing whether or not to send the twins to private pre-school (to the sum of $62,000.00) and aren't seeing eye to eye. Jessel and Erin have both agreed to move forward in their relationship and start over with a clean slate. At the party, Brynn goes overboard when flirting with Abe and we see the ladies get in trouble when they decide to talk during the 45 minutes of speeches. At the end of the episode we see Sai leave early so that she can go next door to NoBu because the food at Erin's party just won't cut it...

What's up Bro's? We joined forces with our favorite platinum blonde, Zack Peter, to break down the third part of Bethenny's interview. We talk about the alleged abuse from James Kennedy, the dog situation of this whole thing and whether or not Bethenny had Raquel's best interest at heart (she didn't). Raquel continues to lean on the fact that she her whole cast made so much money off of this while her name and her brand were dragged through the mud. While this is true, she seems to forget why her name and brand were dragged through the mud. On the other side of this, Bethenny is not only ill prepared, she does not do Rachel any favors. Instead of diving into therapy and hearing about how Rachel has improved herself and what kind of work she's been doing to become a better person, Bethenny steers her into a victim narrative and an attempt to paint the Bravo network as a horrible toxic place that is at the root of this whole scandal. Bethenny used her platform and Rachel as her sacrificial lamb to push her own narrative instead of showing concern for Rachel and doing her best to help her to move forward. All that and more with our main bro Zack!

What's up Bro's? In honor of Steel's (my) 5 year sobriety date, we're changing things up a little bit. In this special episode I share my story with you. Where I came from, how I got there, and how I ended up where I am today. My story is difficult to tell. It brings up a lot of memories that I've dealt with over the past few years and stirs up a lot of emotions for me. But it's important for me to share these things. I had a very hard time being open and vulnerable when I was younger. I saw myself as the go to person for other people. I would help them deal with their issues while disregarding or not even acknowledging my own. Problems don't just go away and gradually over time they built up behind me without me being aware of it. Eventually my world came crashing down. I went from a professional baseball player, to a professional coach, to having cirrhosis of the liver at 27 years old and potentially not making it out of the hospital alive.

This episode is not to garner sympathy, it's more for me and for myself to continue to be open and honest and vulnerable as I struggled to do for so many years. If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol or addiction, if you're afraid to ask for help, I know how scary it is. But I promise you there is a better life on the other side. If you need someone to talk to please reach out to me. I'll happily talk to any one of you struggling. Thank you all for everything you've given me, I don't take one second on this planet for granted. I love you all.

Here's to many more years.

What's up Bro's? We take a break from our regularly scheduled recap to bring you our full breakdown of Bethenny's interview with Raquel aka Rachel. It seems as though these two are trying to one up Howie and Sandoval with worst interview of the year. A wildly unprepared Bethenny attempts to interview Raquel with zero background on the show or the characters. Along the way, Raquel (Rachel) begins to lean into playing the victim in this thing and its absolutely bizarre. Bethenny is doing her best the entire time to intentionally steer the conversation in that direction and it's clear that she came into this with an agenda. On top of that, while we hear Bethenny "leading the charge" on compensation for reality stars, we find out that Raquel did not get paid for this appearance on the podcast. Go figure. Raquel dives into her time in therapy and how she feels about this group now. She tells us that her friendship with Ariana was exaggerated and the two were only acquaintances and then questions her best friend Scheana's and the role she played after Rachel and James called off the engagement. The topic of money comes up repeatedly as Rachel feels as though she is owed more for her role in Scandoval and questions how the rest of the group gets to cash in on it but she doesn't. The topic of the video on Scumdoval's phone comes up and I think were all in agreement, that is not ok. Sandoval deserves WAYYYY more shit than he is getting not only for the recording without consent, showing that video to people, and just for his overall role in Scandoval. Its named after him for gods sake. Bethenny really fumbled this interview and not only is it apparent that she didn't prep at all (literally uses google mid interview for an extended period of time) her lack of overall VPR knowledge makes removes any and all credibility from this interview. That being said, Shooter had a blast listening and Steel almost had an aneurysm. All that and more on a very lively episode of BravBro's!

What's up Bro's?! We kick off tonights episode with a little RHOSLC talk as we get closer to the return of the ladies of Salt Lake. Will Mary Cosby save the franchise? Or is the absence of Jen Shah the nail in the coffin for the show? Then we're off to Crappie Lake where Sonja and Luann are planning Christmas in July. We get a great cameo from Paula Abdul herself as they plan the Talent Show for the big finale. Then we're in New York where this new cast is really showing promise. Brynn continues to dive into her past as she shares some tragic details about her upbringing only making her story that more inspiring. Jessel and Erin have beef as neither one can see eye to eye (or apologize... Jessel) but the group comes together for an event as Jessel's except for Jenna. AKA Jenna LIE-ons according to Brynn. The drama is starting to brew and meanwhile the ladies are still able to hang out in a group and have fun while avoiding some of the annoying tropes that we've gotten used to (i.e. massive overblown fights and overproduced nonsense) All that and more on today's episode!

What's up Bro's Before we start, this is a trigger warning as this episode features a discussion about sexual assault featured on the Below Deck Down Under episode. If you do not wish to hear that and would like to skip ahead, the conversation begins at 2:48 and ends at 9:45. For those that saw on this past weeks episode, Luke sexually assaulted Margot in what was one of the more difficult and emotional scenes we've ever witnessed. Aesha was amazing and acted quickly avoiding potentially a much worse situation. Captain Jason made very swift and justified decisions in removing Luke from the boat and then firing both him and Laura for her outrageous remarks in an attempt to justify Luke in some way. This was a difficult scene to watch but we felt it is an important one to discuss. After that we are back in Atlanta and Kandi is throwing a party in honor of Bedroom Kandi. But before we get there, Sanya and Shari are still in a weird place as Sanya is learning to respect her sisters boundaries. We get the return of Cynthia Bailey who Kandi seems the most comfortable with out of the entire group. The whole episode then centers around Drew and the potential kiss between her and Latoya. Marlo talks smack about Drew to Ralph at the party and Ralph doesn't say a word, and we get some conflicting responses about whether or not Drew and Latoya did in fact make out. In RHOC its a doppleganger party and the whole crew is dressing as one another. The ladies of the group all seem to be concerned about Shannon and Johns relationship but claim that Shannon is the one that came to them with the issues. Heather is leading the charge as she continues to bring it up amongst the other ladies in the group. Meanwhile, Emily seems genuinely concerned about Shannon and also a little upset because Shannon doesn't reciprocate when it comes to sharing in their friendship. Overall there seems to be issues in her relationship and the group as a whole seems to be tense as Tamra continues to push buttons and Heather seems to be fed up.
