SURPRISE — a little bonus episode… or should we say, a “boner” episode 

We had too much to say, so we called in backup — Amanda Bella from Bella Talks TV — and things got chaotic fast.

From the Amanda vs. West drama (where Amanda Bella is finally feeling vindicated) to our deep dive into Real Housewives of Rhode Island, we are not holding back.

Brie drops a lot of rumors and alleged tea, we get into the messy dynamics, and yes… we talk about the alleged and confirmed affairs.

This one is unhinged in the best way.

This episode is a wild ride and a little all over the place (as usual). Nikki kicks things off by catching us up on the latest TikTok drama of the week, then gives a hilarious warning about the real plot of Beethoven before you show your kids a nostalgic favorite.

Brie takes us back with a reminder of some iconic 2000s couples that would never happen today (the Mandy of it all), and we get into some TV casting news plus the shows we’re most excited about heading into the end of the year.

We also give our usual TV recommendations and what to watch this week.  Touch on the Laguna Beach reunion, share our initial thoughts on the In The City trailer, rand wrap things up with our recap of Summer House.

Special episode this week—we have Jill Badlotto joining us to discuss all things millennial nostalgia, starting with a chaotic round of This or That: Millennial Edition and asking the real question: are we the most nostalgic generation, or just the loudest?

We get into our hopes for The Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul’s press tour buzz, and why Laguna Beach was such a moment in time (and could never work today).

Plus, our Bravo takes—most underrated show, what’s next for Southern Charm—and a Summer House recap with thoughts on the midseason trailer. We wrap it all up with our “Not Mad About It” picks.

Morgan Stewart officially has a podcast, Kacey Musgraves has a new album, and we’re asking the important question: is the UNWELL network trying to launch its own version of The Viall Files? Also… does Alex Cooper’s new dating show look a little unwell?

We’re also breaking down the rumored RHONJ cast shake-up and who might be making a return , plus everything you need to know about Andy Cohen’s new AI feature on Peacock that will guide viewers through the Bravoverse.

Brie gives a quick rundown of the Love Is Blind reunion, we share our first thoughts on the new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, recap this week’s Summer House (Team Ben or Bailey?), and put a bow on this season of Southern Charm.

And if you hear a baby crying in the background… no, it’s not yours — it’s Brie’s. We’re just doing our best over here.

We’re celebrating ONE YEAR of the pod (!!) and covering everything that happened in pop culture and reality TV this week. We give our very unprofessional analysis of the new Harry Styles album, Brie spills some tea about Morgan Stewart’s new podcast, and we explain why the Dr. Phil documentary might not actually be worth the watch.

We also get into why we’re just not feeling the new RHONY cast, share our TV recommendations for the week, and break down the shows premiering soon that should absolutely be on your radar.

And of course, we wrap things up with our recaps of Summer House and Southern Charm — because what would this podcast even be without them?

Welcome to a special bonus episode where we’re recapping the finale of Love Is Blind: Ohio. But before we dive into this cast of characters, we do need to briefly discuss the rumors swirling around West and Amanda from Summer House allegedly dating… because obviously we have thoughts.

We start off a little manic this week — but don’t worry, we bring it all back around by the end. We’re diving into rumors of Pink potentially taking over The Kelly Clarkson Show (and why we’re honestly not mad about it), plus Emma Roberts starring in and producing a Bride Wars-inspired TV series for Peacock. Then we unpack the Netflix vs. Paramount drama and the ongoing question of who’s ending up with Warner Bros.

The Call Her Daddy saga isn’t over yet — Sofia Franklyn is officially telling her side with an upcoming memoir, and we have thoughts. We also share what we’re watching lately, including our early reactions to Survivor 50 and the latest from Love Is Blind, before recapping the finales and biggest moments from The Traitors, Summer House, and Southern Charm.

As always, we wrap things up with our “Not Mad About It” picks and some good vibes to send you into the week.

Brie shares her rave review of Love Story and breaks down everything premiering this week (spoiler alert: Survivor 50 is here). We also dive into Love Is Blind Ohio, plus quick recaps of The Traitors, Summer House, and Southern Charm.
