The latest episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was a disjointed mess of Sutton on a fireside Reformer, Erika posing for pics with a pink grandma, and Dorit introducing Paula Abdul introducing Taylor Dane to sing for oral health equality, I guess? Somehow, all of that chaotic content inspired conversation between Ramona & Margee about the delights of République and the shortcomings of La Mer. But the episode really centered around AnneMarie, revealing that 8½ may have been a generous ...

Mental health took center stage on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and we are here for all of the honest discussions about PTSD, su*cide, and grief. In other news, Garcelle’s love for her boys is as pure as their indifference to her lasagne. Kyle seems to have officially replaced one Mau(ricio) with another Mo(rgan). And we need more beta-blocked Blane, and no more massively-off-the-mark Anne Marie! Time to grab a cantaloupe skewer and younger woman to feed it to, and settle in for this we...

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills welcome us back from the holiday break with further confirmation that Dorit is an out of touch asshat, that being surrounded by sudden/extreme skinniness is a mind f*ck, and that the ghost of Big Kathy is a bird murderer! Ramona & Margee also take a minute to reminisce about stripping down to secure their SAG cards. So set some appropriate boundaries with any fiery-tempered Irish Aries’ in your life, and then settle in for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!...

As we head into the holidays, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills wished us a Martyr Christmas and a Victim-y New Year by offering us its version of gold, frankincense, and myrrh - eating disorders, alcoholism, and Sal! The ladies’ attempts at comedy resulted in drama. Rob’s steak tasting resulted in unwelcome ASMR. And Dorit resulted in all things awful. Thank god for Kim’s kleenex bringing a little levity to an otherwise contentious evening. So, gather ‘round all you Bot C*nts and Dick Wads - it’...

Maybe it’s the imminence of the holidays? Maybe it’s the charged relationship dynamics between the women of Beverly Hills? Whatever it is, something about this week's RHOBH stirred up a LOT in Ramona & Margee. They’ve had it with everyone putting on a show to try to disguise the truth. Stop trying to make us believe your marriage is unbroken, Kyle, or that 16 ounces of vodka is a reasonable mid-morning snack, Sutton. Stop trying to sell us on your husband finding you unimpressive in every wa...

What a week for our Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! Denise finds herself in the Upside Down… jacket. Sutton chews the scenery as she smokes a joint. And Kyle smugly jogs and stretches and like ohmygod okay we get it you’re fit now, Kyle. Congratulations and shut up. Also, all the women point fingers, calling out each other’s drinking habits. So, who IS the problem drinker in the group?... Best guess? Everyone! Time to grab your paper mâché hand to press play, and listen to this week’s A Therap...

On RHOBH, Kyle is officially a 54-year-old 14-year-old as she gets her 6th (and stupidest?) tattoo; Mauricio’s book debut was - figuratively and literally - overshadowed by his teeth; and we learn that Erika’s apology was probably just a PR stunt! Meanwhile, Garcelle continues to win the season! And Denise’s takes to camera were the life of the party. But the episode really centers around the Sutton/Kyle conflict, which winds up being the perfect blank screen for Ramona & Margee to project t...

Between Erika’s sparkly hat-fringe, Garcelle’s burnout pants, and Dorit’s chain link cuffs, we forgot all about Sutton’s stupid pants! But nobody else did. For the Beverly Hills housewives, it seems a 90-minute, semi-nude, male review might actually end friendships. Meanwhile, Sutton and Garcelle ride a gondola, everyone wants Kyle back OFF the wagon, and Crystal is the most forgettable part of Crystal’s birthday trip. Time to pour yourself 24 ounces of vodka and throw it back with this week’s A...

While on ketamine, Ramona visits Bravocon and comes face to face with Lisa Barlow from RHOSLC. On RHOBH, Crystal’s 40th became all about Sutton Strake’s slacks, and Ramona & Margee find themselves on opposing sides of the great pants debate. In other news, Kyle’s a pest, Dorit’s defensive, they’re both in the wrong and, to paraphrase Garcelle, we don’t care if they burn! So now it’s time to finish your fish ball, chase it with Ocean Spray grapefruit juice, and… for dessert? Enjoy this week’s...

While Julia Roberts won a Golden Globe for her Pretty Woman performance, PK may lose a marriage after his! Guacamole further exposes cracks in Kyle & Mauricio’s relationship. And Sutton & Garcelle continue to have our most favorite friendship. Oh, and Crystal’s back! But with a tagline that will require all of your brain matter to un-riddle. So come along, Love Beans! Time to join Ramona & Margee for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose. 12 STEP HELP & HOPE: Al-Anon : https://al-anon.o...

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiere was notably light on Crystal, while hard-launching Ozempic as the season’s breakout “friend of.” The episode opened by introducing us to an only-in-Beverly-Hills menagerie of characters including Eagle Woman, Nancy Raven, and Santos The Horse from the Netherlands. Never a dull moment in the 90210! And Ramona & Margee are delighted to dig in. Erika’s therapy is not working. Neither are Kyle or Dorit’s marriages. Garcelle and Sutton expose that the...

On the RHONY finale, Ubah emerged as the season’s superhero - she said/did/wore everything right! Ubah’s hot takes were the saving grace in an otherwise bitter bowl of Erin & Sai soup. Also, Jessel finally came to play and, while Sai may be “the hungry one,” tonight it was Jessel who ATE! Now blow out the candles on your Nancy Drew cake, cut yourself a nice corner piece with lots of frosting, and enjoy it with this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

As Ramona & Margee reflect on the RHOC Reunion episodes, Margee tries to curb her cussing, Ramona fears the Gunvalson Portal, and both ladies award themselves (i)PhDs! They also weigh in on the cast’s neon-pastel-ice-cream-esque color story, and break down the inaccuracy of the notion of a “bony vagina” and the hilarity of the declaration, “It’s too vagina.” So put on your best blue smokey eye and let’s send out this season of Orange County in style on this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

**NOTE: This episode was originally posted on 10/2/2023. It showed up in some listeners' feeds, but not for all. We're reposting just in case you didn't catch it last week.** We take a detour from RHOC this week to visit New York and, while Frank Sinatra may have wanted “to be a part of it,” Ramona & Margee did not! Erin gave us the ick. Sai was a sourpuss. And Jessel’s sex life storyline - like her sex life - was a snooze. Grab your leftover macarons to munch on as Ramona & Margee break...

The RHOC season finale felt like a Sponcon/product-placement-palooza! Shannon pitched her butt fountain. Tamra hawked current CBD and future dildos. And Cirque du Soliel suspiciously “inspired” Gina’s circus party. And it was yet another episode spent figuring out who called who a “loser” at BravoCon. Ramona & Margee’s feelings about that storyline can be best expressed in this Heather Dubrow quote: “You are laboring under the misconception that I give a shit.” Thank god/booze for Taylor sho...

On RHOC this week, Heather threatened to leave Mexico, to which we say, “Don’t threaten me with a good time!” Shannon managed to make vacation joyless & annoying. And four white, blonde women gave a disconcerting salute to a Shaman. There were redemption moments for our villains! Of course they were brief & fleeting, and they all quickly returned to full-hypocrite stasis. Ramona & Margee also touch on HR, DUIs, and Diegos. So, it's time to call a functionally depressed friend, stay o...

On RHOC this week, the Tres Alcoholics reunite to piss themselves, cry about nothing, test the limits of their livers, and test the limits of Ramona & Margee’s patience! Other takeaways from Mexico include: Heather’s “gift” was a trash box full of trash; Vicki has gone a facelift too far; Tamra is mean; Water aerobics is hard; and Heather needs to take Snuffleupagus’ name out of her mouth. Now, grab your mini, monogrammed Mexican blanket and Snuggle-up-with-us for A Therapeutic Dose!

The Orange County housewives give us a drunken luncheon at Vea (where cotillion is held, of course) and a ridiculous dinner on a beach in Mexico. Heather gets pissy at both meals. But, to quote Ramona’s sister, Dominga, “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the Fireside.” While the Dubrows continue to be virtue-less phonies, Ramona & Margee did find some mental health bright spots among the housewives to shine a light on this week! So, pull up a Sit-olinic, “eat your fucking food and shut ...

Like the gym of the same name, this week’s Real Housewives of Orange County SHREDZ! Everyone showed up as highly-concentrated versions of themselves and put all their lunacy on parade. Heather is at her greediest. Tamra is at her annoying-est. Shannon is at her martyr-i-est. John Janssen is at his scratchiest. And, even in the briefest phone cameo, Teddi is at her boring-est! From Terry attempting to Cabbage Patch, to Shannon unraveling at a Pumpkin Patch, Ramona & Margee had a heyday analyz...

On RHOC, Shannon unravels at her fiesta venue as cast members call, text, and come by to cancel, because her friendship is about as authentic as her mini sombrero. Ramona & Margee agree that force-feeding a kitten, and forcing her adorable son to speak on his adoption, were not great looks for Jenn this week. However, they were not able to reach consensus when it came to the hot button topic of microwaved coffee! Ramona & Margee also agree that suede kitchen cabinets - like the Dubrows -...

Since Bravo denied us a new RHOC this week, Ramona & Margee go back to what inspired them to drop their very first Therapeutic Dose – Scandoval! Turns out Scandoval can be infuriating in all new ways when an entirely uninformed Bethenny and an utterly unrecovered Raqu/chel weigh in. Ramona & Margee break down the first two parts of Bethenny’s three-part interview/exploitation of Ms. Leviss upon her emergence from 90 days of treatment with results ranging from questionable to none. Ramona...

The OC women all impersonated one another, but Shannon and Heather gave us Mitch McConnell impressions too! Ramona and Margee determine that Vicki and Taylor define the spectrum of “Friend Of” appeal: Vicki is repulsive - no notes for Taylor! Nothing is left in the “vault” this week as Ramona walks us through a Ketamine Therapy treatment, Margee reveals that pretzels led to the demise of a relationship, and both are tortured by being bad plant parents. So let the fire alarm ring in the backgroun...

In this week’s location-heavy episode of RHOC, we are taken on a tour of establishments that are truly basic, but with just enough independent wealth to keep them afloat, launching a whole new business category: Luxury Basic! “Earth Bowl,” “Olivia’s Closet,” “Shorebird,” etc, are the khaki pants of Orange County – sure, khakis are passable as dress pants, but we all know you could do better. Against this Luxury Basic backdrop, Margee puts Shane back in the dog house, Ramona sees her reflection i...

On The Real Housewives of Orange County, it seemed like so much was happening! But then nothing really happened. So Ramona & Margee wind up weighing in on all sorts of minutiae from swim costumes, to sex tapes, to the clearance page on Bando, to… hair! Jenn gets her hair done in her kitchen and that’s disgusting. And speaking of disgusting hair, Jenn & Ryan’s therapist/psychic/quackery-incarnate is in desperate need of a hot oil treatment. And finally, RHOC really chose violence when the...

Heather is toxic and everybody’s finally done inhaling her noxious fumes. Emily wins MVP of the episode. And Lauren was… there. In this week’s A Therapeutic Dose, Ramona & Margee examine their big feelings about everything from boats to boob jobs, from white jeggings to white privilege, from upcycling to refrigerator vigilance, and everything in between!
Jul 21, 2023•1 hr 16 min•Ep. 9
Ever wonder how many emotions a person can experience in just an hour or so? Well, Ramona & Margee found out! They give you anger, laughter, curiosity, love, grief, fear, gratitude, disgust, appreciation, and more! All those feelings arise while discussing the most recent Real Housewives of Orange County episode. Disgust is evoked from Heather’s whole elitist/classist/bitch-bag existence, and also from Jenn’s distractingly disgusting drink of choice (Malibu Rum & Red Bull. –the hell?!!)....

After watching RHOC this week, Ramona & Margee conclude that Tamra is terrible at fashion and friendship, that Spanx-less-In-Montana Shannon might be the best Shannon, and that Gina could be a genius if she parlays her campfire meltdown into a ride back to indoor plumbing & a real bed! Today’s A Therapeutic Dose will leave you pondering, what’s grosser: Bison for dinner? MRSA in your body? Or Ryan sending a (limp!) dick pic?... This season of Orange County continues to offer a full buffe...
Jul 07, 2023•1 hr 3 min•Ep. 7
Ramona & Margee are delighted (but not surprised!) to see Heather reveal herself to be an Internet Movie Data B*%CH! Other revelations from this week’s RHOC include: Shannon is a Miranda; if we never hear another mechanical-bull-riding double entendre again, it’ll be too soon; and the featured guest star of the episode was… meats. The OC remains fertile ground for the mental-healthcare-avoidant because... OC’s gonna OC, guys. OC's gonna OC.

Ramona & Margee dip into the OC to discover it’s flush with short kings! They also realize that Heather Dubrow Don’t Bro has them both inordinately bothered and they commit to use the remainder of the season to figure out what the actual f*%@ that’s all about. They also share how they consumed ranch dressing in college - Ramona ate fat-free ranch in Washington, Margee drank buttermilk ranch in Michigan. Like Emily’s daughter, Ramona and Margee are “a LOT.” Come temper your big feelings with ...

Ramona and Margee ponder if EMDR might help the cast of VPR? Then they happily put Scandoval to bed forever (for now). They also report on the return of Tamara & the end of CUT Fitness in the OC. And they take a look at some scripted shows ( Beef , The Idol , etc) that will keep them therapy for infinity! If, like LVP, you’re too traumatized for equine therapy, then this week’s A Therapeutic Dose is especially for you.
