Reality Check, Please

We may not be Olympians, but we sure can curl up and do a podcast! This week we're talking food expiration dates (they're just suggestions, right?), how astrology affects your life (or does it?), and whether or not we'd make good curlers (hint: we wouldn't). We're bursting at the seams to give you this week's Nostalgia Check... Gushers! Our Real Housewives of Potomac recap...

It's Week 2 of the Drag Race talent show and... can we just go back and rewatch Week 1? But our recap definitely brings the fun to the episode! Plus, Jenn's knowledge of Britney Spears is something else!

It's a Super Bowl hangover and we are tired of certain ex-Housewives (ahem Jill Zarin & Taylor Armstrong) sharing their problematic views. In our Self Checkouts ,Matt's wondering could he actually wipe his husband's butt while Jenn ponders why anybody bothers to leave a voicemail. Our Nostalgia Check has us pitting Fruit Roll-Ups against Fruit by the Foot... which leather candy tak...

Is throwing Rate-A-Queen in midseason a good or bad idea? Did the right queen end up in the bottom? Would you rather go to Seattle or Miami for the drag? We answer all these questions and more in our latest Drag Race recap!

Uber talented and very funny film, TV, stage, and voice actor Amir Talai joins us to chat his reality, his Hazbin Hotel character Alastor's reality, and reality TV. Guys, we even got Amir watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for the very first time! Plus, in our Nostalgia Check, Amir explains how a Happy Meal relates to his upbringing (and how much he dislikes a certain French fry!)....

Jenn and Matt's latest recap of RuPaul's Drag Race and Briar Blush's takedown devolves into shocking conversations on poppers, Kylie Minogue, and broken bones. Even if you're not watching the show, this episode is too hilarious to miss!

The only thing more exciting than The Traitors this week? The release of Taylor Swift's texts! Matt & Jenn dig into them to discuss just how loyal a friend should be. Another question we answer in our self-checkout: would you want to know if a friend was talking sh*t to another friend? In our Nostalgia Check, we're taking hits of some candy cigarettes to decide if they're still a s...

Our first Drag Race recap spirals into a chat about… animal feet?! Plus the heated debate you’ve been asking for: buy tickets to Rupaul “Live” or Michelle Visage tap dancing? And should Jane Don’t really be upset about doing well?

We are so back! And Jenn & Matt have so much to say, especially about The Traitors. Was Michael Rapaport’s comment to Colton way out of line?! Jenn hasn’t watched Heated Rivalry yet (we know, crazy!) but Matt is still asking, “Does an actor need to be gay to play a gay character?” We’re getting our 2026 Nostalgia Check crackling with a revisit of Pop Rocks. Plus, all the Real Housewives recaps you...

It's a Reality Check, Please Christmas Extravaganza! Matt makes a SHOCKING Mariah revelation, Jenn brings us an extra cheesy Nostalgia Check, and the great holiday movie debate has us ruining Love Actually forever. Plus, a holiday gift exchange you don't want to miss! We promise this podcast is much more fun than listening to your family discuss the weather over ham and green bean casserole!

Matt and Jenn are talking tipping culture in this week’s Self Checkout! Plus, should a sob story actually matter on a competition reality show?  Our Nostalgia Check has us asking the Magic 8 Ball for advice on foot fetishes and weight loss. What is “Decidedly so” and what’s a definite “No”?  Then, our RHOSLC recap turns into a talk about farts (AGAIN!) while debating Heather Gay’s main character e...

It's post-Thanksgiving and we're all about beauty hacks, from our Nostalgia Check on Lip Smackers to the current trend Jenn's jumped on in Ad Nauseam (hint: it's salmon sperm). In this week's Self Checkout, we discuss accidentally saying to somebody "Love you!" and calling your teacher "Mom"?! Plus our Reality Check-In covers Rachel Zoe's Bravo return to...

It's Thanksgiving and we are so grateful for all of our "Sharons"! We dig into all the great Turkey Day meal debates: Stove Top or homemade stuffing? Canned cranberry or fresh? Does anybody actually enjoy turkey? Our Nostalgia Check has us sucking on Ring Pops, but is a wearable treat worth it? And we finally dig into the Real Housewives of Orange County Reunions. 1:08 Nostalgia Chec...

Matt went to BravoCon and got to meet his hero, Stacey Rusch. Back at home, Jenn realized she is anti-ice cream cone. Our latest Nostalgia Check has us unpacking Lunchables! And both of our Real Housewives recaps go off the rails, with RHOP turning into a talk about self-help parrots and RHOSLC becoming a conversation about p*rn on an airplane! 2:32 Matt's BravoCon Experience 8:33 Jenn's S...

Jenn’s recent trip to the mall revealed some SHOCKING clothing that we def didn’t have in the 80s & 90s. Our Nostalgia Check takes it to paper and pen for a Housewives themed M.A.S.H. Plus Matt and Jenn have very different takes on the RHOSLC airplane fallout. 1:16 Self-Checkouts (Matt's Hellos w/ Strangers; Jenn's Spencer's Shocker) 11:53 Housewife Hustle (Vanderpump Rosé) 17:12 Nostalgia Che...

We're back and Matt's doing what with his peanut butter knife? Jenn's taking us back to the 90s with a classic Teen Magazine quiz. Plus, Matt's continuous love for Potomac's Stacey takes a nostalgic turn, while Jenn's love for Salt Lake's Bronwyn makes her almost pass gas like Todd. 2:11 - Self-Checkouts (Matt’s PB&J saliva; Jenn’s friend rift) 11:01 - Ad Nauseam (S...

We asked for your help in coming up with a jingle and… nobody cared! So Jenn took it to AI and you’ll have to listen for yourself to see what that little robot came up with.  In our Self-Checkouts, Matt talks online haters, while Jenn has discovered she has a very, very small window each day to be productive.  We’re trying Bethenny Frankel’s SkinnyGirl products for the first time and the results a...

This week, Matt's Reality Self-Checkout wonders if he's ungrateful for the way his husband does the laundry while Jenn's feeling like she's dealing with a case of face blindness. Our Nostalgia Check has us sipping on some Yoo-Hoo and we are super surprised by the flavor profile. Jenn's Ad Nauseam gets a little hairy when she shares her new LED cap. Plus, Housewives of Salt Lake...

Matt and Jenn are back after a week raising their Tamagotchis and... let's just say we're not well, b****! During our Reality Check-In, Jenn gets jealous that Tamra Judge can eat margherita pizza and still have a killer a** and Matt shocks the world with his take on Salt Lake City's Britani. Plus our RHOP and RHOM takes. Plus, Jenn is introducing her new segment, Housewife Hustles, as we try Melis...

Matt and Jenn are back with a Nostalgia Check breakfast-pastry-off as we put Pop-Tarts in a taste test against the Toaster Strudel. And during Reality Check-In, we rant about Katie's RHOC ice-out, the takedown of Stacey on RHOP, and Adriana's outing on RHOM. Plus Jenn's latest Ad Nauseam is a real ray of sunshine.

It's the premiere episode of Reality Check, Please! Matt and Jenn waste no time digging into who they are and why you should (or should not) care to listen to them. In Nostalgia Check (or Reality Rewind, we can't decide) we revisit Bagel Bites to decide if they live up to their nostalgic memories. During Ad Nauseam, Jenn reveals what weird product she's ordered this week from a Faceboo...
