This week on Marina’s Shallow End, we are giving gratitude, chaos, and a whole lot of reality TV opinions you did not ask for but absolutely need.

We kick off with a Thanksgiving-themed intro and a hilarious recap of my cursed podcast launch (including the 45-minute silent episode and my accidental noir-film voiceover). Then we jump into a job search update with some real momentum — the plot thickens!

💍 Sister Wives: Coyote Pass Chaos

We break down:

* Kody and Robyn acting like they can’t even look at Janelle or Meri

* And of course, Janelle living her best life in New Orleans — at Pat O’Brien’s no less. Bring me a Hurricane immediately.

The most random yet iconic final five:

* Shawn Johnson, tiny danger queen

* Andrew East, regretting everything

* Gia Giudice, showing insane grit
