In this supersized episode, we welcome Holland back to pod to discuss all things VPR and to break down the wild mechanics of Stassi’s public shaming of her former best friend. Tangents abound as we discuss the power of Drive’s soundtrack, terrifying Uber rides, and Jax’s hard turn into a remorseless sociopath. Grab a glass of red, and buckle the f*ck up! *Warning: We briefly discuss domestic violence in this episode as well (34:37-39:32).

A palette cleanser of an episode—season 2 of VPR takes its deep breath before the lights-out showdown to come. Katie and Ben discuss Lisa’s ultimate dominance in delivering one-liners, the sweet-nerdiness of Shay’s proposal to Scheana, and we get a reveal that actually surprises Ben. Can the episode retain its sense of lightness and personal growth for our SUR-vers? Not if Krazy Kristen has anything to say about it…..Buckle up, my friends.

The crew attempts to recover what’s already been a dramatic birthday trip to Cabo—to little avail. The drama continues on Stassi’s f*cking birthday as rumors resurface, ultimatums are given, and Jax continues to be an absolute shitbird. Ben and Katie comment on the hypocrisy of the A-team, how to do handle friends stuck in a bad relationship, and the rise of Scheana. Three cheers for sweet revenge!

Woo, buddy! What an episode. The SUR crew heads to Cabo for Stassi’s f*cking birthday! Scheana makes a comment that kicks off much of the episode’s drama, Jax is a snitch, and we talk about one cast member’s truly problematic behavior. Also, Ben has some newfound respect for an unlikely member of the cast, and inexplicably dubs 2013 the Year of the Mean Girl. Jump into your favorite piece of swimwear and listen along!

In this week’s episode, the cast is potentially outdone by the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Season 4’s cast of RHOBH (Joyce, we barely knew ye) gives the SUR staff a masterclass in cattiness. The role of the VPR crew flips to viewer, and they excel as commentators on Lisa and her crew.  Ben realizes that Jax can in fact be charming, Kristen is absolutely going off the rails, and we take a side tangent into our own dabbling with the occult. Grab your tarot deck, and tune in! #webespooky 

Stassi’s hot on the case of Jax and Kristen’s potential misdeeds. But will her masterful (?) schemes give her the answers she’s looking for? Ben and Katie discuss an enjoyable romp of an episode while evaluating Stassi’s sleuthing skills. Also, Ben might just be revising his impression of the seemingly steady Peter. Grab your favorite brunch cocktail and listen along!

On today’s episode, Katie and Ben discuss the changing nature of grooming trends, an episode in search of a plot, a possible confirmation of Ben’s long-standing VPR theories, and most important to our trash tv consumption the introduction of “Tequila Katie!” Tune in to find out Ben and Katie’s thoughts on reality tv editing, and a bombshell of a rumor. Will the real T-Katie please stand up?

Season two of VPR rolls into the WeHo Pride parade. While Sandoval, Jax, and the guys are looking angelic their relationships are heading somewhere south of Heaven. We also discuss whether pornstars are celebrities and the 2020 economy of adult filmmaking and the physiques of the resident VPR beefcakes.  

Welcome gals and guys to our bonus-sode!! Dropped on you like our reigning song-writing queen dropped her eighth studio album on us in the middle of quarantine. We give our opinions on folklore, defend the song-writing cred of Jimmy Buffet, and bathe ourselves in T-Swift’s wistful and nostalgic mood. Grab your favorite cardigan and step into Taylor’s vibey-est album yet!

What would you do if your boss asked you to give a public burlesque dance for his birthday? Stay tuned for one of many questions Katie and Ben try to answer. Also,  Jax has what seems like an honest health scare. Come for the drama. Stay for the mediocre Mexican beer and a bottle blender full of White Russians. You know you love us, xoxo.
