Garden Party Blues and Break-Up News: A Shepard Doesn't Change It's Spots - Southern Charm Solo Recap
01:39:31
Guys, this is a tough topic to discuss, and bear with us, because we really try to deep dive into last week's episode of Southern Charm in an especially mindful manner. We also use some moments from the episode to lean into some behind-the-scenes producer POV, hence the lengthier runtime (!!)... so think of it as a hybrid of a Charm recap with some Producer’s Corner peppered in.

So for the men out there… *trigger warning*…. this episode might not be for you. And without further adieu - we invite you (whether we like you or not) to our Podcast Party! ‘Cause that’s the Southern thing to do…

And what better episode to pick back up on than the one that gave us the gift of Kandi and Marlo's epic Jamaican throw down and arguably the best comeback of the season - "Did she just say I'm only known in Atlanta?? Bitch, I'm worldwide!!"

Beverly Hills Bitch Session (We're Back!)
01:21:44
We're finally back!! And, seriously... thank you guys for bearing with us!! JJ here - with having just traveled and starting a new show all the way out in Hawaii, it took Betsy and me a couple of weeks to figure out not only our new (five-hour time difference) schedules, but also contending with technology hating us and trying to make it near impossible to record and release a podcast episode for y'all!
But after many hours spent fighting to urge to bang our heads against a wall, we've finally figured it out!! And just in time to record what we're calling our Beverly Hills Bitch Session, where we talk the latest episode, and our very strong feelings about the season as a whole before we all dive into the fiasco that the upcoming Aspen trip will undoubtedly be.
We'll also be releasing a new Producers Corner joined by our friend, EP, in the coming days, so look out for that as well!

Schwartz & Sandy's is finally open for business! Well... Not really... more like open to scramble together a last-minute party and shut the doors just as quickly as they opened when the clock strikes midnight. But between the most delayed bar opening in history, Schwartz's bucket hat, Peter's ponytail and the most awkwardly hilarious date cry ever (courtesy of Raquel), this episode didn't disappoint!

Talking All Things Bravo w/ Exec Producer - Part 1 - RHONJ
01:18:25
Guys... it's been a week... an exhausting, calamitous week. And I get into it a bit more on the pod, but all that's to say, as a result, we had to change things up a little bit. Instead of getting solo recaps for Summer House Episode 2 and Vanderpump Episode 3 - I pulled in Executive Producer (we call her "EP" for short) to chat all things Bravo - including RHONJ, Summer House, VPR and RHOM.
And while we had intended to have it be one single episode of hot topics, we ended up with enough content to give you guys one podcast episode for each show, which will all be dropping in the next couple days!
And don't worry, Betsy and I will be back with our solo recaps for Summer House and Vanderpump this week.
But in the meantime, here's Part 1 of Talking All Things Bravo w/ EP covering RHONJ...

Tombastic Love - Vanderpump Recap
01:02:29
We were trying to figure out how to attack this recap, given everything we know now. This week has been a doozy, and hopefully, we can offer a unique perspective on all the craziness! Rather than breaking down the whole episode, we picked some topics you guys suggested on our IG to dig deeper into what may have been going on underneath everyone's noses between the two most recent social outcasts of West Hollywood. And as always, #TeamAriana !!

Ticking Tom Bomb - Vanderpump Recap
01:33:44
This week's Vanderpump Rules episode was absolute balls to the wall, non-stop chaos and supersized to boot -- needless to say, we had a lot to dig into in our recap!! Between the blatancy of Sandoval and Raquel in plain sight, the ensuing early speculation from a surprising source, Oliver-gate and, most importantly, our presence being graced by Queen Garcelle... this episode was a doozy!

01:54:34
We're so sorry for the delay, y'all! As you may know, Betsy and I took to the open road to go see the one and only Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour this weekend! And because we were traveling, our recap schedule got a little behind - however, we ended up with a special treat for you guys in the process! Since EP is working on a show in Atlanta (where we came to see Taylor), we were able to pull her in for our first ever recap with all three of us!! We talk all things Jersey and VPR, and hope you have as much fun listening as we did recording!

Holy Hell this was a cringeworthy episode!!! In what could only be compared to the uncomfortable anxiety levels of watching a horror thriller, we white knuckled through the absolute slow moving car crash horror-show that was this week's Summer House, while consistently asking ourselves the question, "Why Danielle?!?! Whyyyyyy????" Fasten your seatbelts and gird your loins, we're talking Summer House y'all!

Flop It Like Drew - RH Atlanta Recap
01:17:36
If y'all didn't think we'd be covering our favorite Atlanta ladies, think again!! And while I know we're fashionably late to the season, what better episode to kick off our recaps, than the post-BravoCon episode that breaks the fourth wall, gets messy AF and features an appearance by RHOP's Candiace!! And while Candace killed it up the stage (and no, we're not referring to Drew's "pop in" lol), the ladies nearly killed each other down below. All was not well in The Peach State this week, but we were here for every second of it... We're breaking down all things Atlanta y'all!!

Bad Blood - Summer House Finale Recap
01:15:51
Thank the lord baby Jesus, the Summer House finale is finally here!! Guys, this season has been a rough one, and while we're ready to take a beat on our favorite Hamptonites until we watch their Summer '23 endeavors next season, last summer is leaving us with a doozy of a finale! It's all coming to head as we bear witness to the final nail in the demise of Danielle and Lindsay's friendship, and are not only left wondering if there's any hope for a reconciliation... but if there even should be? And as the summer comes to a close, I can't help but be left thinking, "Summer should be fun! This... was not fun." Until next time, housemates!

Vanderpump Reunion Part 1 - "Pumped Up Edition" Recap
02:40:20
Well, this was... in a word... CHAOTIC!!
Not that we expected any different, but wow this reunion was messier that we could have even imagined - and to think we still have 2 more to go!! And given the sheer insanity of Peacock's uncensored 56 minute "Pumped Up Edition," Betsy and I took a bit of a different approach this week - watching each act of the episode before recording each segment to not miss a minute of the absolute insanity. So, let us know what you think and if we should keep the same approach for Parts 2 & 3!!

RHONJ Reunion Part 1 Recap
01:15:00
We took a break from covering the propaganda film otherwise known as Teresa and Luis' Wedding Special last week, but Betsy and I are back in full force covering part 1 of the reunion which, thankfully, wasn't TOO horrible... however, like a dark cloud looming with the promise of rain, we know what's to come... and courtesy of Tre's final moments in this reunion installment, that mean's accusing Melissa and Joe of being the real culprits responsible for she and Juicy's stints... "away."
At this point, all we can hope for is to hold on tight, weather the forthcoming storm and hope that everyone makes it out alive! Which, let's be honest... seems about as likely as Teresa coming to the realization that she's married a con-man who's probably going to take her for all she's worth! And we're off to the races...!

Bonus Episode: Preparing for Vanderpump Reunion Part 3
00:21:27
With the wonderful clusterfuckery that is season 10 of Vanderpump Rules coming to a close this evening, Betsy and I took to the mic to break down what we know going in, some teases on this "reveal," and perhaps a little non-VPR scoop sprinkled in for good measure? And while we're getting our cocktails and joints ready for what's to come (because let's be real, we're gonna need it!), let's all just take a moment to appreciate what will go down in the history books as one of, if not the, most bombastic, surreal, blurry-lined season of reality television of all-time. And given the circumstances, it feels as appropriate as ever to say: Buckle up, because it's going to be one hell of a wild ride across the finish line!

RHONJ Reunion Part 2 Recap
01:50:51
Two down, one to go!! And as we inch closer and closer to the finish line, the insanity is just getting dialed up exponentially!! Teresa and Melissa are absolutely nonstop and cannot help themselves at this point (clearly!!), but we also can’t help but find the humor in Andy’s ultimately futile attempts to get them to STFU and, more than anything, part 2 gave us Jen Fessler who brought the comedic relief we ALL needed. We’re breaking down part 2, y’all! Hope you enjoy!!

Leader Of The Pack, The Bitch Is Back! - RHOC Premiere Recap
01:50:59
What’s that roar we hear approaching in the distance?? Oh, it’s just Tamra rolling back in to reclaim her thrown on A GODDAMN MOTORCYCLE!!! Or perhaps it’s the nervous quiver of Shannon and Heather knowing that they’re going to have to step up their game if they’re gonna survive the return of The Virgoan Viper. Either way, we are HERE for it and couldn’t be more excited that the flagship’s back and, from the look of it, in fighting form! We’re breaking down the RHOC premiere, y’all!

Vanderpump Reunion Part 3 - "Pumped Up Edition" Recap w/ JJ, Betsy & Exec Producer
02:04:01
Wow... I almost can't believe that the sun has set on this epic, iconic, chaotic, bombastic, surreal season of Vanderpump Rules. It was one for the history books... It will be talked about in collegiate courses about the impact of Reality TV in the cultural landscape for years to come. This final part of the reunion - the "Raquel Episode" as we'll call it - was so jampacked, that we pulled EP back on to the mic to give it a proper sendoff. To say it was a lot is an understatement, not to mention the "big reveal" which, if we're being honest, was not all that big or surprising (we'd been calling it for weeks)!! And just remember...
"You know that it's our time. These are the beest days of our lives. Just raise your glasses high. This one's for you tonighttttt."
Cheers VPR Season 10... it's been a wild one!
Also, we have not forgotten about the Bonus Producer's Corner Episode with me and EP... it'll be dropping in the coming days so be on the lookout!

JJ had some personal things to take care of for a few days, so on her (very brief) hiatus, EP hopped on the mic with me (Betsy) to talk about this week's RH Atlanta, which graced us with a classic Housewives trope, otherwise known as the "let's call a truce" get together. And like so many before, it ended, shall we say... not well, bitch!
And don't worry, JJ will be back later this week with me and EP to recap RHOC, so stay tuned!!

01:20:52
Betsy, EP and I were thrilled to take to the mic and chat about the sheer absurdity that is Sonja & LuAnne's The Simple Life: Schitt's Creek Edition... I mean... Crappie Lake! We also give a little RH Atlanta Update, sprinkled in with a few musings on this season of Kardashians!
Also, just for a little housekeeping... Me (JJ), EP and a few friends are heading out West on the Oregon Trail this week (ie to Colorado and Wyoming lol)... we're hoping to record the RHOC Montana episode from the neigboring Wyoming mountains, but, really, at the end of the day we'll be entirely at the behest of the cell/wifi service and will do our best to do what we can! Will keep y'all updated on our IG @reality.bites.podcast either way. Thanks y'all!

Hey y'all! Betsy's back from her second outing to The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version), and EP hops on the mic as well to talk all things RHOC, Morgan Wade's "Fall In Love with Me" music video featuring the one and only Kyle Richards, and of course we couldnt help ourselves but to spend (perhaps maybe a little too much) time gush over the one and only king of our hearts, Taylor.
That said, if for some unfathomable reason you're not interested in hearing us shoot the shit and gush over Betsy's second foray to see Queen Taylor, hop on over to minute 31:00.
And lastly, for a little housekeeping - you may have noticed in the title of this episode (or if you've already listened to our Below Deck episode) that I've officially come out of the closet. Guys, I'm... Lauren!! I explain the reason behind the pseudonym in the episode, but dont worry... I'm still just me!!

It's that time of the week again - when we pick up our burner phones and secretly text the paparazzi to trek to the untamed, unexplored wilderness known as Orange County. But in all seriousness, I don't know what was more absurd - the claim that the Paps randomly snapped shots of Heather and Terry looking canoodle-ey OR anything that came out of Shannon Storms Beador's mouth this week! Betsy and I are joined by EP to chat all things RHOC. Plus, we'd be remiss if we didn't tackle the biggest news of the week - the demise of the "Babes" (fka Carlito and Lindsay). Hope y'all enjoy!

Make Your Bed and Lyon It - RHONY Recap and Midseason Thoughts
01:24:47
Now that we're passing the midseason mark on RHONY, Betsy and I decided to take a slightly untraditional approach to this week's recap. Instead of just giving our breakdown of Sunday's RHONY, we're stepping back to a 30,000-foot view and breaking down what's working, and isn't working, thus far this season (in addition to talking about this week's ep).

Guys... to say we were a little skeptical going into this season premiere would be an understatement of epic proportions, but you know what they say about lowered expectations... sometimes you're pleasantly surprised! We're joined by EP to talk all things SLC - from the new dynamics with Jen Shah "away", the addition of former FBI informant Monica, the emergence of #tubgate, and of course, our eternal adoration for the one that will always keep us coming back for more, Lisa Barlow.
We also took a little extra time to shoot the shit and talk some Hot Topics at the top of today's episode, so in case you need to jump right to RHSLC, head to 34:00!

EP joins me on the mic to chat this week's RHONY and we really deep dive into analyses of these women because, well, we're finally at a place in the show where this new cast is breaking down their walls, bonding and... wait for it... becoming real friends!
Also, the cold open is a lengthy one - we talk football, the VMAs, the great NSYNC vs Backstreet debate, and more... but if you want to jump right into RHONY, it starts at 33:50!

Guys... RHOSLC is giving us life these days, and this Palm Springs trip is not disappointing!! Executive Producer joins Betsy and me on the mic to break down all of the delicious messiness - between the fashion faux pas, Meredith's mayhem, Whitney's "Rinna" games, not to mention the now iconic, "You want me to go there with husbandddd?!" this was quite the wild ride and we're here for EVERY. SECOND. OF. IT. But the real question that remains in all of our minds is: Did Heather pee or not pee in the damn sprinter van??? Hope y'all enjoy!!
