The Reality Is

We're talking about Episode 2 of the new season of the Crown and it is all about discretion, a thing we have none of. 

We got the second half of Richa and Vishal's beautiful but lengthy, hot, and sweaty wedding on Family Karma and the Real Housewives of Potomac go to Miami and I'm sorry Michael Darby did what to who to how to when?!?

Ashley Madison! Breakfast! Rotisserie chicken guy in Philly! Steak! Elections! Dave Chappelle on SNL! John Mayer! Chris Evans!

The always hilarious and silly as ever @thetomhamlett co-host of @dumpsterdivepod and frankly this podcast hopped on to talk about Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (47:56) and touched Love Is Blind - Head over to Dumpster Dive to hear all of my thoughts on the show. And as promised Giselle host of @whoaskedmepod sent some hilarious and insightful voice notes (27:36) WHILE IN TRANSIT moving across...

To kick off our new scripted television recaps, we are starting with the new season of The Crown S5 E1: Queen Victoria Syndrome - we go off on many tangents, there's a lot of Royals slander, but we ask a very important question which is: Would Princess Diana have a podcast?

Aarti joins to say good bye to Married to Medicine and hello to Family Karma while the Real Housewives of Potomac burn paper, and newly constructed bridges. 

We have the Sunday Scaries! The High Five was made by WHO? Being a celebrities seems terribly sad (RIP Aaron Carter & Takeoff). Drake needs to shut his dumb Canadian mouth. Dwayne Wade seems like an exemplary father. Rihanna needs to make better decisions. Kyrie needs to read a book. 

For every dark episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that we've had to sit through, Bravo is giving us a nonsense clown car mad lib of an episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and it is delightful! As mentioned on the pod, please consider donating to http://www.curethekids.org/ & https://www.alexslemonade.org/

Giselle, host of Who Asked Me podcast is back to talk some more about Love Is Blind. We're talking about Episodes 4-8(ish...maybe a little more)! And mostly we are SCREAMING about the dumb fucks on this show. 

Communications Professor, Author, and Patreon Supporter of our silly little podcast, DOCTOR Katia Campbell hopped on the pod to breakdown this week's Real Housewives of Potomac and Married to Medicine. We talked a ton about representation on reality television and tons of more!  To support us on the "Guest on the Pod" level please head to Patreon.com/therealityispod 

Happy Halloween! Nothing is scarier than normalization of problematic men and we talk about it! From Andr*w TAINT to El*n M*sk to Matthew Perry to Tom Brady - men are doing bad things and we talk about it.

On Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, no one can get their story straight and on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills slurs are just being tossed about without consequence! 

Bravo is giving us agita so we moved on over to the trash fire that is Netflix Love Is Blind season 3 with my friend Giselle, host of @whoaskedmepodcast. We're only covering episodes 1-4 and Spoiler Alert: no one has chemistry and everyone is clout chasing!

The Married to Medicine ladies didn't miss a beat and went full chaos at the Reunion Part 1 and the Real Housewives of Potomac work hard but those Producer (ERIC we're talking to you!) work harder!

The Phillies have made it to the World Series! Touchdown Tommy Brady has compared himself to a member of the US Military! Sudeikis wants you to hashtag believe! Corden sends back eggs! Antisemitism and conspiracy theories have a new demographic within K*nye fans! and Taylor Ham Swift has made a new album!

Whether it's Whitney unpacking her childhood trauma on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City or Crystal and Garcelle explaining microaggressions on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Bravo and Housewives franchises are proving to be ill-equipped to have these complex and nuanced conversations. 

We're recapping House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 9 and spoiler alert: kinks may have been shamed!

Aarti is back to break down the latest episode of Real Housewives of Potomac and Married to Medicine Finale!

The very first installment of a new weekly series where Raheel, famously from the Patreon and also my brother, hops on to discuss a range of things from Sports, Politics, Pop culture, and real life. This week we talk sports, 90s pop divas, n*sync, the racist former LA councilwoman, homophobia and racism in Muslim/minority circles, and the Super Mario Brothers movie casting. 

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion part 1 was so frustrating I barely made it to Real Housewives of Salt Lake City; HOWEVER, Whitney Rose is so drunk and hilarious and chaotic that it's actually worth the wait. 

It's a full recap of House of the Dragon Episode 8: The Lord of the Tides from the Patreon! For more of this & other pop culture content head on over to Patreon.com/therealityispod 

The Cherry Blossoms of our lives, the Real Housewives of Potomac have returned and boy did we have a great time. Aarti hopped on to break that down and then we screamed about how Anila Sajja is a f**king racist on Married to Medicine. 

Aarti joined me this week to talk about The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Finale and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City S3 E2, where we ask the question WHY AREN'T WE TALKING ABOUT IT?! Whether it's Kathy saying racist things or Jennie's racism, the ladies said we were going to talk about it but NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT.
