The Reality Is

This week on Real Housewives of Orange County Shannon lives up to her name and storms off multiple times and tries to have a party that no one wants to attend. I also talk about the latest accusations against Gary King on Below Deck and this Rolling Stone article: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/below-deck-bravo-gary-king-sexual-misconduct-cover-up-1234811442/

This week on Real Housewives of New York, Erin threw a party for her 10 year anniversary where everyone spoke for too long and no one was fed enough, but more importantly Jessel continues to steal our hearts.

Finally recapping and trying to unpack what the hell is up with the Real Housewives of Atlanta, where it seems like we are watching hodgepodge mess of a show.

Translation: there's no one like Jessel!...except for maybe Erin!? On Real Housewives of New York this week they are getting into the pettiest fights where Erin demands Jessel to take accountability for things she herself won't take accountability for and it's very entertaining!

The Real Housewives of New York are coming into their own this week from Jessel turning into Ramona and Brynn turning into every sex kitten trope on bravo.

This episode is brought to you from our partners at tylenol, tamiflu, urgent care, and bed. The Real Housewives of Atlanta did almost close to nothing but still managed to make me rant and the Real Housewives of Orange County can't keep track of who they're most mad at.

We're breaking down the Real Housewives of New York first official girls' trip to the legendary Sag Harbor where there isn't enough food and size Large lingerie and unfortunately Provisions is closed.

The Barbie movie is out! Ariana Grande is possibly wrecking SpongeBob's home! Joe Jonas should've taken some things to the grave! Biden is a foul mouthed sailor! and unfortunately, Tom Cruise is Raheel's number one boy again!

We're diving deep into the premier of Real Housewives of New York season 14! From taglines to page 6 - we're discussing what they're actually fighting about and explaining why Jessel is already making us upset.

On Real Housewives of Atlanta the ladies go to Portugal, Ralph hosts a brunch layered with misogyny, Kandi has the poops, and Sanya is a flop. On Crappie Lake Sonja and Luann continue to charm the people of Benton, IL and do classic all-American outdoor activities like selling lemonade and car tug of war.

Raheel is forced to watch Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake and we learned so much over these 40 minutes! For example, where is Illinois? and also what is a crap fish? Enjoy!

Raheel attends a EDM concert and shares his spiritual experience before he is roasted and asked to answer for all of the shitty dudes out there like Keke Palmer's baby daddy and Jonah Hill. We also discuss the feud no one asked for or expected - Britney Spears v. Victor Wembanyama.

Divorce is in the air and the always hilarious and insightful Rae Sanni hopped on to discuss what may be going on and spoiler alert: it's that men are trash and it's embarassing to be a heterosexual woman these days!

It's America's birthday and we have very complicated feelings about the American dream. We also watched The Bear and we talk about that!

Tom "soundboard" Hamlett, host of Dumpster Dive, joins the pod to discuss The Real Housewives of Orange County and naturally we talk about a lot of other things besides the show itself.

Taria S. Faison, host of What Else Is Going On, hopped on to talk about the cloud hovering over Real Housewives of Atlanta, Monique Samuels' divorce, and the boobs and tears of Summer House Martha's Vineyard aka Martha's House. Also featured on this episode are my interrupting ass children.

A bunch of billionaires are stuck in a submersible to see the Titanic, Russell Simmons is in the news, Jonathan Majors has a new girlfriend, Hunter Biden could get it, RFK Jr and Joe Rogan are spreading conspiracy theories, and meet Noah, a six year old woke king.

**APOLOGIES FOR THE AUDIO ISSUES** Taria and Selle join me as we become Sozahdah sisters 11, 12, and 13 to discuss episodes 1 to 3 of the new Hulu show Secrets & Sisterhood, about 10 Afghan-American Muslim sisters. Come for the sisterhood, stay for the confusing appropriation!

This week on Real Housewives of Atlanta Kandi nearly gets into fisticuffs with Marlo and on Summer House Martha's Vineyard Shanice went topless and Bria lost her mind while Silas continued to be the absolute worst.
