This week, Deepti, Haley and Sarah talk about the greatness of the new-ish Hulu show Fleishman Is In Trouble and how relatable it is for so many people; Deepti is in the midst of listening to Prince Harry's new memoir SPARE and shares her feelings about it so far just 2 hours into the [almost 16 hour] audiobook; they finally get around to discussing the Potomac ladies and Haley tries to express why she isn't into it (Sarah and Deepti are loving it!); and finally, they discuss...OH BOY...the new Bravo spinoff of Southern Charm called Southern Hospitality. Jeeeeeez Louise this show is off the rails and they go through the main cast members and try to make sense of their jobs and lives and find themselves so thoroughly entertained by this crazy show. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Pop Culture Prisoner is finally back after another hiatus. Deepti, Haley and Larkyn have much to discuss - Rinna is OUT on RHOBH, RHOSLC is having the weirdest (and perhaps last ever???) season, Jen Shah was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison, Heather Gay is out of CONTROL, Larkyn and Haley are LOVING Miami and Deepti needs to catch up on it, Winter House is over but Summer House will be on soon and so Kyle, Amanda, Paige, Craig, Kory (ugh), Ciara, Lindsay, Carl, et al are still on PCP's minds! 

Love Is Blind discussion is first and then again at 47 min, 50 seconds to 55 min, 40 sec
Winter House starts around 33 min, 39 seconds
RHOSLC starts around 1 hr 3 min, 10 sec

Deepti, Haley and Larkyn talk about all the couples on Love Is Blind Season 3, so much cringe and disturbing behavior! And a total turnaround for one of the couples. 

Then of course their fave show du jour, WINTER HOUSE. No matter how poorly behaved everyone is, they just can't get enough of these hooligans! Deepti finds Paige much more tolerable this season, Kory - oh lord puh-lease, Jess's M.O. on the show is heavily discussed, soft spot for Kyle still exists of course....and so much more Winter House shenanigans are analyzed. 

They then turn then turn their attention to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and try to figure out why they're all rooting for Lisa Barlow, how they actually like Whitney these days, try to figure out Seth and John's height, attempt to make any semblance of sense with Heather's behavior this season so far....and more analysis! 

Deepti and Dina haven't talked about Family Karma in so long! They try to wrap their heads around the premiere episode of season 3 and think about how the cast and show have evolved. 

Pop Culture Prisoner is back after a two and a half month hiatus! Deepti, Haley and Larkyn catch up on all the gossip about RHOP, RHOSLC, RHOBH, Winter House and a little bit on VPR. 

Deepti, Haley and Sarah are back at it with Beverly Hills! Rinna's behavior is ferociously disgusting, Garcelle continues with her A+ report card for S12, Erika - ugh whatevs, Dorit's charity HOMELESS NOT TOOTHLESS continues to bemuse everyone, Kathy is on SOMEthing these days, Kyle keep digging a hole, Crystal - her storyline is so out of steam despite being an actually serious topic and even she manages to make everyone's eyes glaze over about her presence, and Sutton....she's still a fan fave but she needs to stop the "WHO ME???" innocent act RIGHT!??! 

Brief discussion on Dubai - Sara UGH, Brooks NOOO, Lesa meh, Stanbury go away, Nina puh-lease, Ayan still a queen (for some people, for others EXHAUSTING).

**CORRECTION: On the podcast, there was some confusion about Remy's age. He was in fact 6 years old and not 3 years old**

Deepti chats with new guest co-host, Sean! They discuss the absolute sheer insanity,  brilliance, awkwardness and all around thought-provoking television show on HBO Max made by Nathan Fielder called The Rehearsal.

Long time fans of Fielder, Deepti and Sean exalt his unique humor, question his moral judgments and try to wrap their heads around one of the most bizarre shows they've ever seen.  A show that takes the concept of META to a whole new level. 

Deepti and Neelam, both Indian-American, analyze IN DETAIL all the juicy bits of Indian Matchmaking Season 2. For a recap of Indian Matchmaking Season 1 with Deepti and Neelam, listen to episodes 32 and 33 (from July 2020) of Pop Culture Prisoner! 

Deepti and Neelam analyze everyone on the show including of course Sima Auntie and....The "GirlBoss" herself Viral, Aashay, Arshneel, Akshay, (the return of) Pradhyanum, (the return of) Aparna, Vinesh, (the return of) Nadia and Shital...and also all the people who came on the show but in smaller capacities. 

Please note: the opinions on the podcast are based on what Deepti and Neelam saw on the screen. If Netflix gave a "bad edit" to people and painted them in a wholly different light compared to what their true character really is...well........that's why you don't go on reality tv! Never trust what a corporate entity will do just to entice viewership!! 

RHODubai discussion starts ~1hr 21min

Deepti and Dina are here to discuss the latest embarrassments of RHOBH S12 so far. When will Erika STOP being so lame this season? We are not even scared of her anymore, we are just in awe of the low levels she's gone to for herself. Rinna needs to check herself. Dina has a big analysis of both Crystal and Sutton on these episodes! AND OF COURSE THERE IS MUCH TALK ABOUT SUTTON'S DATE WITH THE INDIAN GUY SANJIT. (DUHHH) Garcelle is still a queen of this season.  What's going on with Asher? How do we "describe" him in today's parlance? All these "issues" and more discussed.

Deepti and Dina discuss the latest few episodes of Dubai as well. Chanel Ayan is the most adorable. Sara - BLECH. Brooks - BLECH. Dina and Deepti disagree on Stanbury though! Listen in for all the analysis on all these ladies! 

Deepti, Haley and Sarah are back after a bit of time to help you process what has been happening on RHOBH. Diana is terrible. Kyle - OMG KYLE!!! She's being a TERRIBLE self-producer this season. Erika is embarrassing herself so much this season that we almost barely need to talk about her. Garcelle remains a season hero. Sutton...well we need to talk about Sutton. She's complicated (per her own words...eye roll...)(BUT ALSO TRUE???) 

Deepti also wants to dedicate this podcast (recorded late Friday night July 15th) to her beloved cat, Jonny Bravo Greenwood. JB passed away on July 6, 2022 morning. Deepti loved JB with her entire heart, soul and mind. JB will continue to live on in Dip's heart and will never be forgotten. 

JB is missed every moment of every day. Deepti watched so much Real Housewives with JB by her side.
