Lyndsay is here for half the podcast as we recap and go over timelines and thoughts. We also get into a deeper conversation about OCD, and mental health matters. *Trigger warning for talk of depression, anxiety, and OCD.  Hubs is here for the rest of the recap and latest news of the week! We cover A TON in this episode, and it’s jam packed with tea!  VPR Reunion Part 2 Recap I With Lyndsay (00:06:38)VPR Girls (00:06:38)Commercial Break 1 (00:57:52)Schwartz & Jo  (00:58:36)Commercial Break 2 (01:46:02)VPR Reunion Part 2 Recap II With Hubs (01:47:19)The Latest News With Hubs (01:55:12)  Loving the deep dives, tea and random side stories?

Hubs joins again as we recap Part 1 of the extended version of the Vanderpump Reunion! There’s lots of bits of news within the recap! I spent a lot of time digging in to what is really going on with Katie & Lala, and will be sharing that deep dive. We also talk a lot about Scheana and her OCD, and OCD in general. Trigger warning on this episode, as there is some talk about SI, depression, and anxiety, as it relates to the topics on the reunion. We have markers/chapters on the episode so you can skip those parts if needed. Hope this episode provides a more complete understanding of certain topics!  Vanderpump Recap (00:01:43)Cast Looks & Intro (00:01:43)The House (00:06:38)Bringing Up Rachel (00:14:55)TW: SI as Discussed on the Reunion (00:42:47)Toxic Energy Retreat (00:48:27)Commercial (00:50:12)Schwartz, Lala, & Lisa (00:51:29)Scheana's OCD (00:53:36)Katie's Moment With Brock (01:12:12)Katie, Lala, Ariana & Scheana (01:13:50)Latest News (01:27:44) Loving the deep dives, tea and random side stories?

We cover SO much news and tea in this episode—and it’s placed all throughout the recap—in addition to the normal news sections! Em is back for most of the Pod including the Vanderpump Recap & news, and Hubs is with Ro for the latest! There is more than we even listed in the markers. We also delve a bit into ADHD as well as mental health. Please note about halfway through the recap portion, Em’s mic started an echo sound thing on and off. Sorry about that - we edited as much as we could - thankfully it wasn’t the whole time!!   Hope you enjoy it! Vanderpump Recap (00:16:31)Scheana's Music Video at Kyle Chan's (00:16:31)Schwartz's Apartment (00:38:53)1st Commercial (01:01:33)Brock & Scheana at Ariana's House (01:02:17)James vs. Sandoval (01:17:12)Lala's Sperm Donor Party (02:02:22)Sandoval Wants a Roomie (02:08:36)2nd Commercial (02:13:16)James & Ally's Convo (02:14:33)TomTom Brunch (02:23:26)Last Minute News (02:36:45)Closing (02:51:14)  Loving the deep dives, tea and random side stories?
