Pop Culture with Balls

Welcome back! I may be flying solo dolo, but you won't find that means I am lacking opinions.

This week we dive into a little of the Bennifer and JLo (inevitable) divorce, and is Ben ALREADY linked to someone? And does that someone have a VERYCLOSE link to an ex presidential candidate?

I'll share my thoughts on Chappell Roan's recent comments about "superfandom" and how having fame should not mean you have to make exceptions.

I also dive into how unhealthy being a "superfan" can be, especially when it borders on obsession and stalking like in the case of RHONJ and the Teresa & Louie effect.

Its all here on Pop Culture with Balls!

Talk about going out with a bang!

We went from a podcast talking about Teresa's dorters in thongs to actually seeing her youngest twerking in one on a boat in Turkey, to my IG getting hacked by a lawyer who's office in AC is 2 doors down from the meth clinic...according to Marge, anyway.

It was the best of times talking about the worst of times, but some good times too, and Gabriela and I couldn't have done it without our listeners. Thank you for making us an "appointment" every week! We appreciate the love and love you guys right back.

Usually, a Season Finale signifies an ending - a big finish. While I think it's pretty safe to say we got the big finish, I don't see an ending in sight, especially not after the after market editing of Teresa's latest podcast episode.

After a long season that actually turned out better than most thought it would, we got a plot twist that no one saw coming as icing on the cake. Now, we wait while Bravo decides how to move forward without taking any steps backward.

We are getting down to the wire, the nitty gritty, the bitter(sweet) end of Season 14 of RHONJ.

The show is back on Sunday after taking a week off so that everyone could enjoy ACTUAL fireworks, rather than what they see on TV. In this episode we discuss Jen Aydin. America's Favorite Pastime may be baseball, but for Jen, her favorite sport is calling strangers names and insulting them, and she sure has been active lately, what with her FINALLY getting the okay to grace WWHL's stage.

We also talk at length about Melissa's Envy Fashion Show that I attended, with some emphasis on the atmosphere and what I saw as guest, and we also touch on Teresa's "Namaste Bitches" Podcast event that took place in the middle of nowhere, New Jersey and her drunk cohorts trying to eject people out of there seats and out of the event itself.

Get ready because you are in for a wild listen!

*programming note: I misspoke and called the RELEASE form from Bravo that I signed at the Envy Fashion Show an NDA - which it was not, otherwise I would NOT be speaking about it right now!

We made it!

10 Episodes actually sustaining and gaining listeners? Little ol' us?

Though in all honesty, we can't take the credit when the content is SO good.

Even though there is no new episode of RHONJ this week, we are certainly not at a loss for material. There are Bravocon texts, Namaste Bitches Drama and Jen Aydin in a hospital with a face full of glitter blaming her brother's mother in law for HER entitlement, not to mention throwing the word "ghetto" around with very certain implications, like it was nothing.

This is a milestone show not to be missed!

"Don't Start None, Won't Be None" - That's what Jen Aydin said, but after seeing last weeks episode one acronym in particular comes to mind:

FAFO. Fuck Around and Find Out, and that's exactly what happened, just ask Jen.

This week we will see the aftermath of the Slap Heard up and down the Garden State Parkway, which has Jen questioning Teresa's loyalty. Coming up this week will also be Jackie's book signing where Gia speaks for her mother and Fessler has NONE of it, and Danielle's Boujee Kids relaunch, fresh off her suspension...much to Aydin's dismay.

It may be 95 degrees here in Jersey, but Krissy and Gabriela are STILL serving the HOTTEST RHONJ tea!

On this latest installment of Pop Culture with Balls, "A Tumbler in Tulum", they not only discuss the very anticipated scuffle between Danielle and Jen Aydin that had both of them in hot water with Bravo, but they also review last Sunday's episode FULL of failed attempts for relevance including that "gift" from Jim Leonard (& not Louie), that Krissy and Gab have been telling you about for weeks, what was supposed to be Jackie's big moment at Melissa's Housewarming, (big surprise, it wasn't), and the pivotal moment that will go down in Housewives history as the most iconic text message timing ever...lest we forget Louie and yet ANOTHER pesky lawsuit he is about to be embroiled in.

All this and more on this episode of Pop Culture with Balls!
