This week Emily and Marshall welcome a very special guest: David Yontef, host of the pop culture podcast Behind the Velvet Rope and real-life friend to many real Real Housewives! Obviously we do our darndest to suckle as much juicy intel as we can from David's brain, and he dishes on who's a sweetie, who's a diva, and who's a "horrific, vile, disgusting, repulsive human being." His actual words. We also discuss the latest Dallas, Atlanta, and New Jersey eps, the upcoming season of RHONY (Eeee! N...

Welcome to our 30th episode of Trash Box! Today we kick things off with Atlanta, and ask the important questions: Why does Kenya's 2-year-old daughter have her own phone? Why doesn't LaToya doesn't have a peach? Why the fuck is Drew playing her recording of Prophet Lott on a boom box? And is Shereé returning next season? Then we switch over to Dallas, where we discuss the D’Andra/Mama Dee/step-mother drama. Emily goes so far as to track down the dead father’s memorial site and makes the shocking...

Welcome to another week of Housewives fuckery! We open this ep with our thoughts on the Beverly Hills trailer. Obviously we're pro-Sutton/anti-Erica. This is the only correct opinion. In our regular recaps we open with New Jersey, where a psychic medium has a producer in her ear and Jennifer deals with generational trauma. Then we head to Dallas where it's more organized fun (blegh) and Kary "pranks" the girls by pouring salsa onto the bed. We also discuss the recent Vulture article about Bravo ...

And we're back! Please note that, from now on, new eps will be released late late Friday nights/early Saturday mornings Toronto-time (EST?). Cuz our schedules have changed. Anywho! Here we go! We dive right into it this week. First up is a very special New Jersey, which briefly morphed into Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf starring Melissa and Joe Gorga. Except none of these characters are professors and nobody's getting nominated for any acting awards. On Atlanta it's Marlo vs. Common Sense, Keny...

JEN SHAH ARRESTED FOR FRAUD. Obviously we cover this dramatic breaking news that had us doing Pikachu meme face at our phones. But first, we must discuss Emily going viral on TikTok, and how her sudden brush with fame has immediately gone to her head. But then we tackle Jen, who is most definitely screwed. Lisa does not love that. After that we cover Atlanta (room drama!), then Dallas (text drama!), and then... a special surprise. Marshall effed up and watched the wrong New Jersey episode this w...

Holy shit, the RHONY trailer is here! And it has everything: LuAnn's new boyfriend Garth (Garf?), barenaked titties, a wasted Sonja, and some extremely frustrating racism from, you guessed it, Ramona "I DON'T HAVE THE VIRUS" Singer. Aye yai yaiii. We can't wait to cover it cum May 4th, cuz even a pandemic season of New York is still the best comedy show on TV. After talkin' trailer, we dive right into Atlanta where it's Fallyn (ft. Golf Club) vs. LaToya (ft. Obnoxiousness & Drunk Driving [?]...

Yes, obviously this episode's title is about Teresa. Anywho! We begin this week's Trash Box with shocking news — poor Tinsley got dumped by Scott the Coupon Bitch. Sigh. Evil (AKA Dorinda and rich, middle-aged bachelors from Chicago) won. After that it's our recap of New Jersey, where Jackie still refuses to film with dumb dumb Teresa, Frank and Joe talk semen, and Jennifer's plastered pool party performance prompts us to share some of our own blackout tales. Then we head down south to Atlanta. ...

It's Dallas and New Jersey time! If you're here for Atlanta, check out our last ep with guest Coko Galore (who binged all 13 seasons in one month). If you're like, "Nooo, I'm here for the ladies of the lakes, both Austin and George", then you, madam, are in the right place. First up, the Dallas sorority girls, who can’t stop bullying poor Tiffany. We discuss if Kary is fun (Marshall's opinion) or the worst (Emily's opinion), how Mama Dee doesn't "GIVE A RIP", and the long exit of sad, sad, ignor...

Today we welcome funny/talented/hardworking Coko Galore, who may have just broken a world record: she binged all 13 seasons (276 episodes!) of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in ONE MONTH. And she'd never seen any Housewives before. An inspiration to Bravoholics the world over. FYI this ep is allll RHOA. We discuss the most recent ep, but mainly deep-dive into the psychology and "unreasonable behaviour" of past and present Atlanta Housewives (especially Miss USA '93 herself, Kenya Moore). If you ...

Yesterday New Zealand was hit with two earthquakes and a tsunami warning. Lucky for us, Trash Box's Marshall Lorenzo slept through everything and is here to share his very important thoughts on Real Housewives of Atlanta, Dallas, and New Jersey. A true Kiwi hero! On Atlanta, we're settling in to what's surely going to be our main season-long storyline; Detective Kenya tracking down who fucked Bolo. Let's be real, it was Porsha. On Dallas, we're still not loving Dallas. And bye bye Brandi! On New...

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 1 is dunzo, and we're honouring its ending with a very special podcast episode featuring comedians Alessandra Vite and Erica Gellert. The Salt Lake City Season 1 Extravaganza Retrospective™ has it all: a recap of the reunion finale, a Mary Cosby psychoanalysis, a heated discussion about the stigma of smell, a trivia quiz hosted by Emily (around 41:20 if you'd like to play along and easily trounce our contestants), Marshall's Housewives-themed Never Ha...

He's here... he's hung... he's... BOLO. Finally! We passionately discuss the much anticipated Atlanta sex party episode and the latest Jersey. For Salt Lake City coverage check back late Friday for our Reunion Part III/Season 1 retrospective/trivia extravaganza episode with guest comedians Erica Gellert and Alessandra Vite. But back to Atlanta. It's allll about Bolo. And Bolo's penis. And Bolo's talents. And "Yes Mistress." And those Basic Instinct confessionals. And Kenya's machinations, which ...

Emily and Marshall are back for the second new Trash Box of the week. And boy oh boy, are we excited to discuss both the New Jersey premiere and Salt Lake City reunion. These eps were brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, etc. etc. etc. Makin' Dallas look like an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. We immediately dive into New Jersey and catch up on what the ladies have been doing during the pandemic. Hmmm, mostly plastic surgery, by ...

On the first of two new Trash Box eps this week we cover the latest Atlanta and Dallas. Tune in Friday morn for our New Jersey and Salt Lake City coverage. So! On this week’s Atlanta poor Kenya (the only mother to ever exist) takes bad hostessing to a brand new level. Like, even worse than Tiffany "Cricket Pizza" Moon. The ladies are sick of Kenya's bullshit, and so are we. But everything's forgiven the moment we set eyes on that spectacular PPE-clad stripper. Next week can't come soon enough! T...

Time to analyze/judge/yack/laugh about this week in Housewives. We finally figured out why there was no new Atlanta this week; the SUPERBOWL! Who said this wasn't an investigative detective-type podcast? On Part One of the Salt Lake City reunion, the ladies have gathered to dig up year-old beefs, present Andy with poorly photocopied printouts, and one-up each other's traumas. Winner: Heather. Loser: Lisa. Confused: Mary. Then it's over to the latest Dallas ep, which left a bad taste in both Mars...

Sigh. These women. God bless these wonderful, wealthy, weirdo narcissists and all their bullshit. On Atlanta the Charleston trip finally kicks things into high gear. Fuck Auntie Kenya's organized fun, the Nieces just wanna drink and dance! Meanwhile, LaToya buys a wig and Drew autographs a headshot. Shady golf claps all around. Over on the finale of Salt Lake, we demand skeletons be released from closets (looking at you, everybody but Heather), and discuss Mary's actually scary cult. Then we get...

Aaaand we're back! A day late and many dollars and brain cells short. On this week's episode, an exhausted Emily and sun-kissed Marshall discuss the latest offerings out of Salt Lake, Atlanta, and Dallas. On SLC, the ladies take Vegas. And by "take Vegas" we mean they get raged at by Jen Shah and meet an immediately iconic hypnotist named Kimberly Friedmutter. Kimberly skips the hypnotism and instead opts for calling Jen on all her bullshit! A star is born. On Atlanta, bullshit artist Kenya and ...

Marshall and Emily meld their minds once again (a la the two-headed monster that is Meredith/Lisa) to bring you a brand new episode of Trash Box! This week it's our usual fare: Dallas, then Salt Lake, then Atlanta. On Dallas, Kam reminds us who she is (a stupid idiot), and our two-episode-long Kam-standom screeches to a halt. Meanwhile, Marshall can't stop ogling the topless bartenders (and...Travis Hollman?), Brandi gets points for prop comedy, and Kary, 50, gets violently hosed down by champag...

Ahhhh. Velcome back. Vee are indeeeed living in zee golden age of television. This week we start by watching the New Jersey trailer. Together. During the podcast recording. It's a mess, and the only real takeaway is that Dolores Catania is a Trump supporter and we're in for a wild season. Then it's time to check in with our lovely Georgia peaches on Atlanta. Kenya's concocted the weirdest surprise cover-up story ever and convinced Cynthia that she's meeting President Elect Joe Biden. Meanwhile, ...

Hello, hello, hello! Trash Box is proud to present 51 minutes of fluff you can use to briefly escape from the sick, sad world. Sigh. In this ep we discuss the latest Salt Lake and Atlanta. If you're looking for the Dallas premiere, check out Episode 11. First up is Salt Lake City, and this shit’s an instant classic, all thanks to a shit-stirring/shit-faced Whitney. Congratulations, Mrs. Rose, we didn't know you had it in you! Meanwhile, Mary's not invited, Meredith's not engaging, and Jen is, er...

Ahhh, the first Trash Box of 2021. Our only resolution was to get all caught up on Potomac Reunion Part III, Dallas’ premiere, and the latest Salt Lake City. And guess what? We did it. Back to sleep for the rest of the year! First up is Dallas, which was a lot more entertaining than we thought it'd be. Mainly thanks to Kameron Westcott (whose comedy stylings finally put the "are women funny?" debate to bed once and for all) and newcomer Dr. Tiffany Moon (who addresses the racist ginger elephant ...

Christmas is over and we've returned to lead a critical discussion on Potomac reunion Part II + last week's Atlanta and Salt Lake City eps. Marshall comes to you LIVE! (errr, pre-recorded/heavily edited) from a swanky quarantine hotel in New Zealand! Emily comes to you from her very messy bedroom in Toronto! First up, Potomac. We discuss the anti-climactic conclusion to Monique's Binder vs. Gizelle and our own problematic history of defending both Ashley and Monique. Over in Atlanta, it's all ab...

This week we devote the entire episode to the lovely, loony ladies of Salt Lake City, Utah. If you're looking for coverage of the latest Potomac and Atlanta, please direct your eyeballs to the ep directly preceding this one, "The Bindering". But back to our mostly Mormon mommas. We analyze Jen's rock hard tittays and mystery fortune, Heather's flirting skills, Whitney's sunny disposition, and Lisa's claim that she's the Queen of Sundance. Then, inspired by the pre-fashion show chaos at Casa del ...

We just couldn't wait to talk about the Potomac reunion, so here's an early Trash Box (let's call it a Hanukkah present). And, heck, we thought we'd cover the latest Real Housewives of Atlanta while we're at it. But first, we must honour the recently departed Gigolo "Giggy" Vanderpump. Lisa's Vanderpump's dazzling Pomeranian prince passed away at the surprisingly young age of ten. TEN. Then... Potomac. An unsuspecting Gizelle is violently slaughtered, with the girls (even Robyn!) attacking her f...

In this week's super-sized Trash Box, Emily and Marshall dive headfirst into all three new Housewives eps (OC is still dead to us, duh): the Potomac finale, Salt Lake City, and Atlanta's Season 13 premiere. We prattled on for so long our voices grew hoarser than Mary M. Cosby's after a particularly spirited sermon. First up is the shocking, explosive, near-perfect Potomac finale that had Marshall Tom Cruise-leaping onto his couch screaming "OH MY GOD!" We stupidly attempt to list every single on...

After two Gossip Time specials, we're back for our regular (but still extremely exciting!) coverage. However, we must first discuss the new trailer for Real Housewives of Dallas Season 5. Welcome Dr. Tiffany Moon! Hope they smudged the place to get rid of LeeAnne's bad vibes. After this week's Potomac episode, we have some questions... Is Karen genuinely that terrible at orchestrating drama? Why is Ashley's uncle named "Lump"? And why OH WHY has this show's editing team not swept the Emmys? Then...

Two whole Gossip Time specials in just one week? We simply didn't have a choice! Yesterday, Wednesday, December 2nd, 2020 (Saint Britney Spears' 39th birthday), the world was hit with an avalanche of drama so powerful that both of us (OK, just Emily) were left physically shaken. First up — Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi allegedly using their divorce to embezzle funds meant for the family members of deceased plane crash victims. It's not her best look. Then we talk about Braunwyn Windham-Burke being...

Sound the alarm, cuz it's officially GOSSIP TIME! On this very special episode of Trash Box, unabashed busybodies Emily and Marshall dish about all the current Housewives hearsay, including: is Ramona as broke as we are? What's up with Lisa Rinna's 19-year-old daughter and 37-year-old Scott Disick? Who is Patricia the Muskoka whore, and did she bang Harry Hamlin? Is Erika Jayne having an affair with Scooter Braun? And have you seen Margaret Josephs' brand new head transplant (read: facelift)? Co...

This week features Trash Box's very first guest: our favourite ex-Pentecostal New Brunswicker, Tom Hearn! Comedian, writer, producer, and least importantly, friend. Tommy has a case of the 'PINIONS. And even though we may not support all his views (Erika Jayne as one of his top housewives?!), all three of us agree that Salt Lake City is shaping up to be an iconic franny™. But disturbing questions loom: is Whitney really a Trump supporter? Why do straight people insist on throwing parties at venu...

What hath we mere mortals done to deserve Salt Lake City and Potomac airing at the same time? Thank you, Mormon Jesus. On this week’s episode, Marshall hath been blessed with a brand new microphone. He immediately uses his new gift to spread blasphemous tea re: Emily’s former favourite Salt Lake housewife, Whitney. Despite the ex-communicated maybe-swinger’s unfortunate political leanings (sigh), we remain firmly anti-Lisa. After all, evil is evil. Over on Potomacers Take Portugal, our beloved l...
