  • Salmon Sperm & Rachel Zoe's Return

    It's post-Thanksgiving and we're all about beauty hacks, from our Nostalgia Check on Lip Smackers to the current trend Jenn's jumped on in Ad Nauseam (hint: it's salmon sperm).


    In this week's Self Checkout, we discuss accidentally saying to somebody "Love you!" and calling your teacher "Mom"?!


    Plus our Reality Check-In covers Rachel Zoe's Bravo return to RHOBH, the Boston Spill the Tea ep of RHOSLC, and Gizelle reentering her villain era on RHOP. AND Matt & Jenn are choosing their early picks on who they think will take the Rupaul's Drag Race Season 18 Crown based off of first looks!


    And finally, Matt's quizzing Jenn on Oxford's Word of the Year while Jenn puts Matt's Housewives knowledge to the test with a tagline special version of The Real Deal or No Deal.

  • Stove Top Stuffing & RHOC Reunions

    It's Thanksgiving and we are so grateful for all of our "Sharons"!

    We asked for your help in coming up with a jingle and… nobody cared! So Jenn took it to AI and you’ll have to listen for yourself to see what that little robot came up with.

  • Bagel Bites & Secret Botox

    It's the premiere episode of Reality Check, Please! Matt and Jenn waste no time digging into who they are and why you should (or should not) care to listen to them.

    In Nostalgia Check (or Reality Rewind, we can't decide) we revisit Bagel Bites to decide if they live up to their nostalgic memories. During Ad Nauseam, Jenn reveals what weird product she's ordered this week from a Facebook ad. And Matt puts Jenn's lack of current pop culture knowledge to the test in Jenn's Culture Popped, resulting in a surprising revelation from her husband.
