Welcome back to The Snitchuation Room, where nothing is medically wrong, but everything is emotionally broken.This episode opens with Brandon’s IT band officially quitting, an expired Loverboy that somehow tastes better with age, and a traumatic airplane incident that permanently ends aisle-seat privileges forever. (Window boys only.) What begins as vacation banter escalates into one of the most unhinged plane stories of all time involving singing, audibly expelled gas, and secondhand trauma at baggage claim.

Then we dive into three deeply relatable Snitchuations:1. Being secretly in love with a best friend for nearly a decade — just as they start talking about leaving the city.2. Discovering that a long-term “vault-level” friend betrayed your trust and leaked a scandal-adjacent secret.3. And wondering whether to trust your own happiness when everyone you love claims to have a “bad feeling” about your perfectly nice boyfriend — with zero receipts.

From shooting your shot to demoting friends to “party only” status to deciding whether you trust yourself more than group vibes, this episode is chaotic, honest, and painfully real.Submit your Snitchuation at popsnitch.com — and for the love of clarity, include your ages.Chapters:

It’s the first week of 2026 and pop culture said “no days off.” Rachel and Brandon break down the Ashley Tisdale celebrity mom-group fallout—from The Cut interview to unfollows, alleged political side-eye, and Hilary Duff’s husband absolutely dragging her online. Then we jet to St. Barts where Tom Brady and Alix Earle are sparking hookup rumors (plus Shep/Tinx cringe enters the chat), and we talk about why the internet always blames the wrong person in an age-gap scandal.

Finally, it’s Real Housewives of Salt Lake City finale time—and we’re divided: Was this season actually great, or just loud? We get into the overproduced “play,” the Meredith pile-on, Heather’s producer-energy, Bronwyn’s breakdown, and why the show needs to get back to actual Salt Lake City friendships ASAP. Oh—and we’re gearing up for reunion chaos and a Vanderpump catch-up next week.

Welcome back to The Snitchuation Room, where boundaries are tested, work cards are abused, and someone somewhere is absolutely being leashed.

This week kicks off with a deeply important cultural question: should children still be on leashes? From 90s mall trauma to modern-day child harnesses, Rachel and Brandon unpack generational parenting chaos, vacation stomachs, and Doug’s revenge chewing.

Then we dive into three high-stakes Snitchuations:

* A work trip turned luxury vacation that was accidentally (and then knowingly) charged to a company card—now HR wants a meeting.

* A meddling mother-in-law who treats “concern” like surveillance and keeps trying to pit husband against wife.

* And a listener stuck spiraling because her ex was better in bed… even though her current relationship is healthier, safer, and real.

From falling on swords to stiff-arming in-laws to fixing sex through communication (yes, really), this episode is unlicensed advice at its finest.

It’s the first episode of 2026, and Rachel and Brandon are officially back in New York—emotionally exhausted, tech-cursed, and ready to unpack it all. They kick things off by processing holiday travel trauma, the psychological damage of returning to your childhood home, and the devastating realization that Carolina Ale House nachos do not hold up to NYC standards.

From there, the conversation turns reflective: was 2025 a good year or a bad year? Brandon shares why it was one of the most transformative years of his life, while Rachel realizes hers may have been a rare year of stability, rest, and physical health—even if her brain was fully rotted by the internet.

Then it’s a full pop culture rewind. They revisit TikTok briefly “going dark,” Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl moment, the rise and fall of LaBubus, White Lotus monoculture magic, Lady Gaga’s triumphant return, Coldplay’s cursed kiss cam, the papal conclave era, Taylor & Travis engagement rumors, Katy Perry going to space, the Louvre heist, and late-night TV’s uncertain future.

Finally, they unleash their bold (and occasionally unhinged) predictions for 2026—covering Bravo shakeups, pop star flops, influencer infiltration, reality TV gamification, AI movies, celebrity dental brands, and who might be quietly getting engaged next.

They close by asking listeners what they want Pop Snitch to become in the new year—and inviting everyone to help shape the future of the pod.

Rachel and Brandon are back in the Snitchuation Room with three situations that range from heartbreaking to fully unhinged. First: a family that turns a funeral day into a surprise birthday party… at the grieving daughter’s house… and then has the audacity to request Grandma’s ashes for a ring. Next: a listener watches his older brother and sister-in-law vanish from the entire family after joining a fundamentalist-adjacent church—blocked numbers, burner-account Facebook stalking, and a whole lot of culty red flags—while he wrestles with whether to keep reaching out or protect his peace. Finally: a young corporate worker is down astronomically bad for the hottest man alive, accidentally speaks in a “British” accent, and now needs an emergency plan to manufacture the ick before she melts into a puddle on their shared project.

It’s Christmas on Pop Snitch, and Rachel and Brandon are serving holiday nostalgia, pop-culture chaos, and one very cursed Southern Charm recap. The episode kicks off with Christmas memories—mall shopping sprees, Little House on the Prairie books, LimeWire crimes, gift cards, lottery tickets, and grandparents who absolutely did too much with family photos.Then it’s full pop culture discourse: Meghan Markle’s never-ending rebrand era, why Netflix and Spotify can’t seem to quit her, and whether leaning into cringe might actually be the move. The conversation turns darker (and weirder) with Nicki Minaj’s Turning Point USA appearance, Russell Brand’s endless grift cycle, and why certain men always “find God” at the worst possible moment.Things take a dental-horror turn with Chrissy Teigen’s veneer nightmare before Rachel and Brandon drag Tom Sandoval for yet another self-inflicted PR disaster—and ask, once again, why no one in his camp will take his phone away.Finally, it’s Southern Charm time. Craig’s Memorial Day party delivers unhinged behavior, hot tub obsession, Sally desperation, Corey chaos, and a jaw-dropping “submissive” comment that cements Craig’s red-pill spiral. Molly emerges as the emotional adult of the group, Madison brings sober clarity, and the hot tub officially becomes the most overworked cast member of the season.Holiday cheer? Questionable.

In this 25 Days of Snitchmas episode, Rachel and Brandon kick things off with Meemaw, her water-on-the-brain miracle, and the legendary year she handed Rachel ice-toner gloves and a car-window-pickaxe as her “thoughtful” Christmas gifts. From there, they dive into three fresh snitchuations: a young corporate girly who realizes she’s become the company meme after her boss blasts a zoomed-in burrito-chomp photo to the whole organization; a single sibling who’s flown home for every wedding and baby shower only to find out the new Christmas system means she gets one under-$50 gift while still buying for all the kids; and a woman living with a self-proclaimed “anti-decorating” boyfriend who thinks Christmas trees are pointless. Is it just hurt feelings… or full-on dealbreaker behavior? They unpack the red flags, assign each snitch their “mission,” and remind you: if someone keeps calling what you love “pointless,” that might be the real problem.

We’re embracing holiday goblin mode on Pop Snitch. Rachel and Brandon kick things off reflecting on a heavy, unsettling week and the pressure to perform joy during the holidays—before spiraling into fiber disasters, bean-induced domestic terrorism, and the deeply cursed world of TikTok health culture for both women and men.

Then it’s full Bravo breakdown. On Southern Charm, Craig’s costume-fueled rage spiral reaches new heights, Sally’s desperation is clocked by the entire cast, and the group’s toxic triangulation habits are on full display. Rachel and Brandon unpack why Craig’s “triggered” language isn’t growth, why insecurity ruins everything, and why Madison remains the most emotionally functional person in Charleston.

Over in Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, the Greece trip delivers donkey trauma, Meredith’s legendary sulk, Angie’s Greek enthusiasm backlash, hair trademark wars, Brittany’s wild comparisons, and Lisa Barlow doing what she does best—ignoring advice and riding for her friends.

Finally, the new Vanderpump Rules continues to cook. Marcus and Kim’s toxic cycle explodes, Venus emerges as the emotional backbone of the cast, Natalie solidifies her queen status, and Shane reveals a backstory so unhinged it demands a reunion deep dive. Alliances fracture, trust is betrayed, and things get loud in public spaces—never a good sign.

Plus: goblin mode confessions, Manosphere mockery, holiday survival plans, and what’s coming next from Pop Snitch and The Snitchuation Room.

It’s Christmas time in the Snitchuation Room, and Rachel and Brandon are deep in the holiday mess. After a truly cursed combo of Twizzlers, chorizo, and coffee, they kick things off by revisiting the infamous year Rachel “ruined” Christmas with ethical-but-hated gifts. Then they dive into three festive snitchuations: a boyfriend who gives his girlfriend the exact same necklace as his mom (ick), a penny-pinching almost-fiancé planning to propose with a family ring his girlfriend will definitely hate, and a laid-off millennial who blacked out at the hometown bar and made out with her now-pregnant high school crush… who has a wife.

They offer their unlicensed holiday analysis, decide when a gift ick is fixable, debate whether you should warn your sister about the ring, and answer the big question: do you tell the wife, or let Blackout Wednesday stay in the dark? Plus, they share how you can submit your own snitchuation for future episodes of Snitchmas.

In today’s episode of Pop Snitch, Rachel and Brandon begin with a domestic crisis: the missing Diet Coke, the stolen Cool Whip, and the unspoken marital contract around snack hierarchy. What starts as a fight about caffeine spirals into a full Bravo universe breakdown — including the Summer House trailer, the possible end of Kaimanda, Sierra’s incurable height-blindness, Wes’s newfound fame, and the shocking Kyle-slept-at-a-fan’s-house reveal.

Then it’s Southern Charm: Austin’s two-kitten delusion, Paige & Craig’s ongoing identity crisis, and why driving in the Carolinas should qualify as a trauma response. They also deliver a dissertation on Sierra’s dating patterns, West’s DMs, and why Craig may be one eyeliner flick away from falling in love with ChatGPT.

Over in RHOSLC, they unpack the Cartier Watch Wars, Heather’s unconstitutional moral superiority, Whitney’s Harley Quinn fall, Mary Cosby’s “grandma watch” annihilation, Lisa Barlow’s spray tan sabotage, and whether production is ever going to release the plane footage (they better).

Finally, it’s New Vanderpump Rules: the Cousin Brothers’ questionable vibes, Marcus’s grief spiral, Kim’s tequila meltdown, Natalie’s queen energy, and Venus as the emotional thermostat holding the entire cast together.

Plus: foot lore, scoliosis lore, European cobblestone injuries, and why subscribing to their YouTube is the ultimate act of love.
