Since the release of the first season, Indian Matchmaking has become somewhat of a social media phenomenon, with many attributing its success to its cringe-worthy, tell-it-like-it-is approach and tough talking aunty figure, Sima, who is at its center, which are a match made for TV. And now, there's a whole new season for us to obsess over! Today, Chris and Lauren are joined by couple Pradyhuman Maloo and Ashima Chauhaan along with fan favorite Aparna Shewakramani to talk about how opposites attract and owning your standard. Plus, we'll hear some of our listeners' matchmaking nightmares and Aparna will have to use her lawyer skills to determine which ones are true and which a lie!

From simple fixes to major overhauls, we are living for home renovation shows lately…especially when they're part home renovation show, part heist movie!

Executive Producer Tom Forman joins Chris and Lauren to tell us how he pitched the show, how they chose eight families out of the thousands of applicants, and how they managed to pull off what seems like mission impossible time and time again!

Lauren and Chris are so excited to introduce you to a favorite Netflix Reality Queen, Chloe Veitch, and her new podcast, Bangin' with Chloe Veitch. You might remember Chloe from some of the best binge-worthy shows Too Hot to Handle and The Circle and now you can hear from her every week on her new podcast.

Today, we're giving you an exclusive taste of Bangin' with Chloe's very first podcast episode, where she sits down with her best mate (and "Too Hot To Handle" castmate) Nicole O'Brien to dish about getting thrush in a foreign country and the worst dates ever. You've never seen Chloe like this!

Bust out those bedazzled overalls (no, just us?!) because it’s time to do some real estate and home improvement TV binging y’all! Netflix has announced its lineup of real estate and home renovation shows for the year, including six new series that will premiere this summer and fall. To properly commemorate the occasion, Netflix hosted an event for cast members of these and other Netflix reality shows and you know we were out there getting those receipts! On today's episode Chris and Lauren are chatting with luxury interior designer Melanie Rose of “How to Build a Sex Room” which premiered Friday, July 8th. The show follows the so-called "Mary Poppins of sex rooms" as she creates stylish spaces to bring couples’ (and okay there’s one septuple - we don’t make the rules) wildest fantasies to life. Things get so spicy during this interview that it makes Lauren blush!
