Bronwyn and Todd, what is happening there? Over in RHONY, we unpack that cringe-worthy prank (it’s giving not funny). And to wrap it all up, we dive into TikTok’s latest beauty obsession: face tape.

  • Side Notes: What would Martha Stewart do? Unpacking the Martha doco

    WWMSD? Is our new daily motto, because honestly, what can't Martha do!? Welcome to another Side Notes episode where we unpack everything that was in the latest Martha Stewart documentary, titled Martha on Netflix. From her early days of modelling, stockbroking then switching into catering, *that* steamy kiss in a Florence cathedral, her building and running an empire, going to jail, her unlikely relationship with Snoop dog, being the original influencer and first female self-made billionaire! Phew. So much to cover.


    Our Side Notes series are bite-sized chats that focus on one juicy topic that’s caught our eye recently. From candid interviews, to unexpected moments in pop culture, or internet trends we can’t get enough of. We’re taking the notes so you don’t have to.

  • Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum split, Saorise Ronan on Graham Norton, Stevie Nicks Rolling Stone interview, Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest

    We’re back with another pop culture roundup, and this week did not disappoint. First up, Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum called it quits. Who saw that coming and what the hell happened? Then we dive into Saoirse Ronan’s viral moment on The Graham Norton Show - a chat about women’s safety that honestly, the world needs to hear. Then, we swoon over the one and only Stevie Nicks, who sat down with Rolling Stone and reminded us why she’s still the queen. And finally, we couldn’t resist the chaos that was last week’s Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest in NYC. Was it cute or creepy...? Enjoy!

  • Side Notes: Adam Brody on The World’s First Podcast

    Welcome to our first Side Notes episode! Our Side Notes series are bite-sized chats that focus on one juicy topic that’s caught our eye recently. From candid interviews, to unexpected moments in pop culture, or internet trends we can’t get enough of. We’re taking the notes so you don’t have to.

  • Sexiest Man Alive 2024, New RHONY vs OG RHONY, Vanderpump Rules S12 cast disputes

    hi hi hi hi hi! We never thought we would be the type to discuss how hot men are but here we are!!!! Thanks to People magazine, it’s almost that time of the year where a lucky lad is crowned ‘THE sexiest man alive’. We discuss the shortlist and rank our faves. We also willingly provide our overall shortlist (like, out of every celebrity male to ever exist). Unsurprisingly it wasn’t hard for Leah to rank her favourites, and surprisingly Sheena found it very difficult. If you know us you probably know both of our #1 without even listening to this episode. But hey, still listen.

    We then get into the current debate of whether the new Real Housewives of New York is boring, lame, cringe or actually a really fun easy watch. How do we think it compares to the OG RHONY?

    Lastly we talk about the rumours circulating around whether we will even get a season 12 of Vanderpump Rules. Apparently there are a few cast members having salary disputes?


    Enjoy! Love yas.

  • The Future of VPR w/ Kate Riccio

    Our favourite Bravo TikToker is on the pod and we are SO BLOODY GRATEFUL. In this episode we had the pleasure of chatting with Kate Riccio on the future of Vanderpump Rules. Will Ariana come back for S12? Will Rachel go rogue and make a comeback? Will we EVEN GET another season? This was honestly the most fun episode to record and we could talk to Kate for five more hours. Whilst we are far away from West Hollywood, Kate kindly spills the tea on some of the encounters she has had with our VPR faves. Yes Jax Taylor does love to run his mouth, and yes Schwartz is just as good looking in real life. We may also even play a game of VPR “Would You Rather?” Enjoy!

    You can find Kate on TikTok @katericcio or listen

    to her podcast Girls Unscripted. Enjoy dolls!

  • Nobody Wants This, Beyonce Conspiracy Tok, Lana Del Rey married

    EVERYBODY WANTS THIS! Join us for another episode where we have a juicy, lengthy, romantic conversation about the new show on Netflix by Erin Foster, starring Adam Brody and Kristen Bell. We discuss why we think everyone has fallen in love with this show, the Foster sisters success, and of course we talk about our teenage crush, Seth Cohen aka Hot Rabbi and why every millennial is on heat for him.

    We also touch on the TikTok hole that Leah has been down recently - Beyoncé conspiracy Tok, and give our opinions on Lana Del Rey’s new husband aka the alligator tour guide. Enjoy!

  • RHOSLC, Charli and Troye with Addison Rae, Wuthering Heights adaptation with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, Tom Schwartz and Jax at Giggly Squad

    Our Salty Soda Queens are back. Join us for a mish mash episode covering The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City S5, as well as some pop culture news of the week! We discuss the iconic SWEAT tour with Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, Lorde and Addison Rae. We then give our thoughts on the new Wuthering Heights adaptation with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi that has caused a bit of a stir doll. It also wouldn’t be a Reality Notes episode without a bit of VPR goss, so we had to talk about Tom Schwartz and Jax Taylor highjacking the Giggly Squad Live tour. Yes Schwartz, you guys really are trash.

    Enjoy! Love yas.
