Jul 07, 2020•1 hr 1 min•Transcript available on Metacast This season of RHONY has been a riot, and it’s mostly because of the newest, freshest addition- Leah McSweeney. You know I’m never a huge fan of new people, but boy has she changed the game! Her zero fucks attitude along with her vulnerability and respect for the OG castmates (which they don’t deserve most of the time) Leah is a freaking gem. We talk about the current state of her relationships with the women, her very public distaste for one housewife in particular, her relationship with Tinsle...

Jun 16, 2020•1 hr 4 min•Transcript available on Metacast Yes, I’m having Summer House withdrawal already. It was such a good season! I talk to Paige – who is such a vibe – wearing a giant flower on her shoulder – about all things SH: why her boyf isn’t on the show, what she thinks the real deal is with Hannah and Luke, what happened between her and Lindsay (remember how she blew up at her – even Lindsay remained speechless!?), how far Jules was up her butt, if she thinks Jules & Jordan were actually boning, and if she stanned Carl and Lindsay as a...
Jun 09, 2020•57 min•Transcript available on Metacast Since binging Vanderpump Rules from Ep 1, Season 1, I didn’t understand what the hell everyone wants from Scheana. Why does she get hate? Why is she edited poorly? Why the constant montages of her in a negative light? (from saying Rob 5,000 times, being called boy crazy, crying all the time, calling everyone her “best friend…”) But this season was EXTREME – from choppy manipulative editing, to making her seem DESPO for not one but two new cast members (and a-holes). It’s not ok! Hence the #Justi...

What went down with her co-worker/boyfriend at SUR that got her suspended, and the many scenes she filmed that weren’t aired. I wish we saw more of her this season, and hoping she’ll come back with a bang! The Not Skinny But Not Fat Podca...
