February 15, 2025 EP 54: Influencers Faking Cancer, Rachael Kirkconnell and Matt James, and MAFS Aus
Send us Fan Mail
Raya is fired UP this episode! We get into the nitty gritty of OG "wellness" influencers Amanda Riley (Scamanda) and Belle Gibson (Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar) who both faked brain cancer for years and scammed people out of hundred's of thousands of dollars.
Speaking of Netflix, American Manhunt: OJ Simpson premiered and I know what you're thinking, anotherrrrr OJ doc, and I would agree! Except this one had a different perspective and I do recommend watching. Either way, justice for Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
Rachael Kirkconnell and Matt James of the Bachelor have ended their 4 year relationship and she went on Call Her Daddy to tell her side of the breakup.
Madison Lecroy of Southern Charm is pregnant, Kendrick Lamar smashed the Super Bowl halftime performance and more coming up on this episode!

Send us Fan Mail
I'm joined by my first guest of the year Rachel from @MarriedatFirstSight Houston! We discuss most of the ins and out of filming and what went down.

We also get into discussing #rhoslc finale and how Angie K. and Whitney WILD Rose read Bronwyn and Lisa Barlow for filth 😭. EVERYONE needs to come back next season, yes, including Britani Bateman. Traitors season 3 is out and there are some spoilers--WE WERE ROBBED! Tik Tok was banned for 12 hours and Americans fled to RedNote; what was that about?

Molly Mae from Love Island has a new documentary out on Prime called Behind It All. And speaking of documentaries, do you remember Myka Stauffer? The mommy vlogger who rehomed her adopted child?! Yes, well, HBO Max finally put out a series called Update On Our Family.

We are praying for everyone affected by the LA fires! Please donate if you can 🤍

Send us Fan Mail
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Who's ready to LOCK IN for 2025?! Raya is! What a jam (😉) packed episode. Speaking of jam, it looks like Meghan Markle has moved on from American Riviera Orchard and moved onto the kitchen! She's got a new @Netflix show coming out Jan. 15th called, With Love, Meghan. It's a lifestyle and cooking show much like Selena + Chef and Martha Stewart from what Raya gathered from the trailer.

If you have not watched Southern Hospitality on @bravo , WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? It's your new binge! In other southern news, Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover called it quits right before the holidays.

There's an update in the Lively vs. Baldoni lawsuit, and Netflix has a new real estate show that dropped recently, Selling The City. Who doesn't love New York real estate?!

Listen to all of this and more on this episode. Make sure you subscribe everywhere you get podcasts because we have an exciting guest next week....Can you guess who it is?!

November 15, 2024 EP 50: Brianna Chickenfry and Zach Bryan NDA, RHOSLC Lawsuit, People's Sexiest Man Alive
Send us Fan Mail
On this episode, Raya discusses how you shouldn't be afraid to do things alone. Live your life for YOU and no one else! A quick pep talk that is beneficial, IMO.

Brianna Chickenfry's ( @bffspod & @PlanBriUncut ) $12M NDA Zach Bryan offered her as compensation to not discuss their alleged tumultuous year long relationship. Spoiler alert: Bri turned it down!!!! It's a victory to all women everywhere and we are proud of her!

Monica Garcia, former #rhoslc housewife, is being sued for $35,000 by Heather Gay and Beauty Lab and Laser for failure to pay for services. The services were only $2,000 and now Monica is forced to pay $35,000.

@People has named @bennyblanco as 2024's sexiest man?! But also, we are hearing rumors of it being John Krasinski..
