Here's to another week of Reali-Tea and we are joined by the amazing breakout star of Apple TV's "Boys State" Rene Otero! We dive into a great discussion about both the experience of being in a simulated political discourse and how it relates to our current real-life political situation leading into the upcoming election.

For the second part of our Too Hot To Handle series, we talk to winner David Birtwistle. He gives us insight on what it's like to have a Netflix show come out while you're in quarantine, watching the series with his sister, how to improve the show in the future, his thoughts on guy's with dual nipple piercings, along with everything going on in his life since the show aired.

Too Hot to Handle was honestly almost too hot for us to actually handle. It's true the "chastity belt" of reality shows. Join us for the first of our two-part episode about the show featuring winner Rhonda Paul. Rhona tells us about the process to come onto the show along with her experience, what it was like to reveal that she had a child to a much less mature cast, and how life is outside of the show!

Today we talk about the most insane fraud case involving Monopoly and McDonald's. This is truly such an insane story no one could make this up if they tried. But did anyone really make it out OK? Who is the best person in this entire doc and why is it Agent Doug Matthew's?
