High & Low

The first installment in the "Low Pressure Book Club Series" is a review of 'Why Does He Do That?' by Lundy Bancroft. Packed with helpful lists of warning signs, debunked excuses, and key signs of abuse, this book was written to provide insight into the minds of men who don't respect their partners. Throughout, I work to explain unacceptable behaviors by comparing them to similar ones display...

After an update on more blowback from Boz and Erika's 'Watch What Happens Live' digs at Garcelle's departure, the final moments of the finale are summarized. Mid-recap, I delay this pod by taking a break after hearing Erika still describe Tom as an accomplished lawyer. Then, a review of news from 2024 about Dorit and PK's pre-foreclosure from four months of missed house payments, on top of previou...

This extended finale required a two-part recap. We pick up on Sutton's trial at sea and shift into birthday dinner gear for Erika and Dorit. Sutton's delayed appearance, and hesitance to join, is a topic of conversation as Jennifer Tilly tries in vain to help her friend navigate a situation that neither feel like she can win. Garcelle finally approaches Kyle about not sticking up for Sutton, but h...

The purpose of this new spin-off pod is to look back at the week and review the most horrifying and cringe-worthy political moves and blunders from America’s Broligarchy era.

All sources of information are listed on the Patreon.  Ther...

Boze has her new man over for dinner with her daughter, Sutton and Garce...

A rapid-fire rundown of random inconsistencies, omissions, and public manipulations from both sides. From learning more about promo videos, hype articles, and pettiness, to staying focused about what does and does not matter for trial, this dive addresses an amalgamation of distractions and conundrums. Ultimately, my opinion is that each party has been their own worst enemy by undercutting their o...

BONUS: Charleston daquiri dress code drama and why there...

The final episode of Season 5 for the Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City culminates in a flurry of chaos.

Let's end a hellish week by recapping Part 1 of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 Reunion. The topics hit hard and fast when they start coming but most don't get to a full resolution before things devolve into yelling and nonsense. Still, Andy manages to ask about: if Whitney gets her jewelry from ALIBABAAAHHH, the status of Angie and Lisa in light of the "bad mom" comment, where Bron...
