The Reality Is

**APOLOGIES FOR THE AUDIO ISSUES** A quick mini recap of some excellent Thanksgiving week episodes of reality tv! Between the sounds of cream sloshing on Real Housewife of Salt Lake city to the deflections on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to the sprinter van farts on Real Housewives of Miami - Bravo fed us better than some of your pale ass turkeys!

Jada is going to sue a man for making disparaging comments about her husband because only she'...

New friend of the pod, Chy @fly.chy (host of Y'all Aren't Mad Enough podcast), hops on to chat about Real Housewives of Potomac and give us more background and context from a Nigerian perspective to the feud that Ashley Messy Ass Darby is starting between new housewife Nneka and Dr. Wendy.  On Married to Medicine we wonder if Sweet-Tea is actually 32 and obsess over the Harris family, specifically...

IN OTHER: Amsterdam adventures IN SPORTS: the 49ers won. IN POP CULTURE: the Traylor Swift Kelce tides have turned in surprising ways and we wonder who is in charge of the sexiest men alive issue of People. IN WORLD/POLITICS: America is embarassing, Republicans are crumbling, and adults in suburban NJ towns are harassing teenagers for supporting a ceasefire.

There is no one else who I would like to be chatting about Sutton Stracke's pants related meltdowns on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills with than Donny Hadfield-Smith, one half of I Am The Cute One: A Nostalgia Podcast. We also psychoanalyze Monica's mom trauma and Lisa Barlow's rage on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Enjoy!

Our favorite show The Real Housewives of Potomac are back, this time more delusional than ever! The cast of Married to Medicine had a major change with the addition of the super problematic Phaedra Parks and the admittedly abusive Dr Greg! We also talk BravoCon like salty sallies.

Happy Halloween! IN POP CULTURE: Taylor Swift has a new listener, Hasan Minhaj brings receipts against the New Yorker, the passing of Matthew Perry has us distraught, and Amy Schumer can kick rocks IN POLITICS/WORLD: We continue to talk about Israel/Palestine, unpacking anti-Arab racism, Islamophobia, and antisemitism, and the privilege of giving people grace.

Tom "soundboard" Hamlett, 1/2 of Dumpster Dive Podcast, returns to talk Angie K's whacky sunglasses on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, the uncensored glory of Real Housewives of Orange County reunion, and of course the twists and turns of Love Is Blind Season 5 Episode 5-7.

IN SPORTS: Taylor Swift continues terrorizing the NFL, Aaron Rodgers calls Taylor's boyfriend Mr Pfizer, Jake from State Farm is at the Eagles game and Hugh Jackman is at the Jets game? The writer of the Blind Side, Michael Lewis, is probably racist. IN POP CULTURE: Which Diva compares her musical stylings to Beyonce? IN POLITICS: The Republicans are fighting, Kevin is ousted from his seat, an...

This week on Real Housewives of New York, Sai made herself so unlikable we forgot Erin was even on the show so naturally we psychoanalyzed why the hell she's so mad. We also discussed airline miles and Desi dudes and Desi math and Desi romance and of course the Real Housewives of Potomac trailer!

It wouldn't be a Love Is Blind recap without Selle Brooks, host of @whoaskedmepodcast as well as a Tiktok and Youtube sensation! We are recapping Episodes 1-4 only and there are some spoilers! ENJOY!

Tom "soundboard" Hamlett, 1/2 of @dumpsterdivepod, cackled away as we recapped the Freakshow Finale of Real Housewives of Orange County, discussed the iconography of Taylor Shana Lynette Armstrong, and felt seen by Mary Cosby on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Dragstavaganza!

Colin Kaepernick makes a move to come back to the NFL, but the NFL remains racist. IN POP CULTURE: Washed up Comedian Dane Cook 51 marries his child bride. There is a resurgence of Kevin James.

On Real Housewives of New York Erin the Karen continues being wrong, storms off, calls her Daddy, and takes no accountability while the rest of the women make coded microaggressions at Ubah and tell her how she should've handled the situation. All the women except for Jessel who, like a proper studious desi girl, is taking copious notes and lists of everything that's going on because she k...

THE Kendrick from Memphis hops on the pod to discuss our reluctant enjoyment of Vicki Gunvalson on Real Housewives of Orange County and the absolute blast we are having with Real Housewives of Salt Lake City featuring Meredith Marks' new accent.

It's an episode of white women being awful! Shannon Storms Beador is having a terrible day, Erin on Real Houswives of New York is a terrible person, but no one is worse than Bethenny white savior complex Frankel.
