Episode Description: 
We break down the Tyra Banks America’s Next Top Model Netflix documentary and whether the backlash is justified. Did Tyra lose the plot? Was ANTM ahead of its time or completely out of line? We talk executive producer accountability, reality TV culture, and what didn’t age well.

Then we recap the latest episode of The Traitors — strategy, betrayals, and who is playing the smartest game right now. Is Rob running the castle? Did the ice skaters fumble the bag? We unpack the gameplay and what’s coming next.

Plus, we’re talking about the American Black Film Festival (ABFF) Honors, Kevin hosting in a room full of Hollywood heavy hitters, and what it means to find your voice in big spaces.

TIMESTAMPS:
Long Story Short - 00:00:57
Mel Takes TV - 00:28:52
Pop The Trunk - 00:52:17

Melanie gives a courtroom recap (and why leaving the house is actually exhausting), plus the latest on prosecutors trying to use rap lyrics as evidence — and the judge finally shutting ONE lyric down. Then we spiral into the very important topic of whether we could ever be “mob sisters” (spoiler: absolutely not… allegedly).

We also get into:
Why Bad Bunny’s performance had folks in a meltdown (and why that made us love it more)

Melissa’s teen son Jo's turning into a J. Cole fan and calling Joshua for the inside scoop

A full Traitors breakdown: Rob playing chess, the faithfuls playing… checkers, and Candace’s table moment and Married to Medicine opinions that might ruffle feathers 

And of course: POP THE TRUNKS

This week on the Gin & Juice Podcast, the sisters Melissa and Mel recap Melissa's first-ever Sundance experience, spill the tea on Salt Lake City, and review Lisa Barlow's watery tequila. Then Melissa talks about when the parents get kicked out of a high-school soccer game, followed by Grammy reactions, thoughts on Justin Bieber, and a real conversation about who should (and shouldn’t) speak out publicly. Plus, reality TV chaos with The Traitors and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

In this episode, Melissa and Mel are back talking about life, kids, and the chaos in between. They vent about adult children who won’t fully move out, gym struggles, and why school fundraisers need to leave everybody alone. The conversation jumps from hair tension, sew-ins, and wigs to Sky Zone adventures, bedtime battles with little kids, and the very real exhaustion of parenting at every stage.

Of course, they also get into reality TV mess — breaking down the latest drama on The Traitors, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion, and Married to Medicine (because whew). There’s plenty of laughing, side commentary, and “did that really just happen?” moments along the way. Plus, Melissa explains why she absolutely refuses to do her niece’s hair.

As always, it’s stories, opinions, and unfiltered sister talk — just like you’d get sitting in the room with them.
