JO ELLEN HOOKED UP WITH OWNER & WIFE? TANNING SALON TEA SPILLED!

In this explosive episode of The Salty Chip Podcast, we dig deep into Jo Ellen's high school days working at Second to the Sun Tanning Salon in Rhode Island. Shoutout to our tipster for the inside scoop! We break down the salon's three-owner history since 2006, why Jo Ellen (now 38) is STILL front and center on their Facebook page in a recent-looking photo alongside high school girls, and the wild rumors of her alleged hookups with the owner AND his wife. Was it a secret throuple? Separate affairs? We map out the exact timeline from 2002-2006, speculate on which owner it was, and discuss the small-town scandal that had everyone talking. Plus, possible ties to the Caprio family, Gary drama, and why this inconspicuous little salon has so much lore.

EMMY CRASHES OUT AGAIN! WHAT ELSE IS NEW ON SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY???

Welcome back Salty fam! In this no-filter episode we break down everything happening on Southern Hospitality Season 2 so far. From Emmy’s nonstop crash-outs and wild flip-flopping with Brad (including the harassment claims that carried over from last season) to Julia getting shut down while trying to defend him, this season is pure chaos. We also unpack the jaw-dropping betrayal of Maddi — the entire cast lied to her face about her boyfriend cheating just to create drama, and she still shows up for the cameras because it’s huge for her DJ career. Plus, Joe and Maddi’s relationship is hitting major turbulence as she starts outgrowing him, his heavy drinking clashes with her sobriety, and Leva questions backing his business moves. Michael’s immaturity as the super-young GM could cost him his job, and we discuss why Brad might actually be the better fit despite the Maddi rumor mess he helped mastermind. Is Emmy tanking the show’s ratings and future? Will the series get renewed? We give our honest take on the slow-burn drama, the minor tiffs, and why some cast members feel completely lost on camera.

LIZ MCGRAW'S BEST FRIEND DINO HAS A SHADY PAST!!!

In this explosive episode of The Salty Chip, we dive deep into the jaw-dropping FBI, DEA, and Rhode Island State Police investigations surrounding Dino, Liz McGraw's longtime best friend from Real Housewives of Rhode Island (RHORI). Court documents expose Dino's alleged multi-kilogram cocaine distribution linked to New England La Cosa Nostra boss "Good Looking Matty," wiretaps, five credible confidential informants claiming Liz fronted money for large-scale shipments, over 3,400 cellphone records showing heavy contact with Liz (the second most called number), a domestic disturbance at the McGraw estate, Dino's seven felony arrests, and ongoing DEA monitoring of the McGraws' Caribbean fishing trips and vacations. We break down the 20-year friendship, Gary's suspicious deep-sea adventures, Liz's on-camera meltdowns, and whether this is all coincidence or something far messier.

BELOW DECK GUESTS ARRESTED FOR R*PE & HUMAN TRAFFICKING

In this jaw-dropping episode of The Salty Chip Podcast, we break down the explosive arrest of Below Deck guests Barry Drewitt-Barlow (57) and husband Scott Drewitt-Barlow (32) by Essex Police for multiple counts of rape, sexual assault, and human trafficking for sexual exploitation. The British property developers — known as the first gay couple in the UK to have children via surrogacy and co-owners of Maldon and Tiptree Football Club — were taken into custody just days ago in May 2026. We revisit their wild Below Deck episode featuring the proposal (and his daughter’s ex-boyfriend), discuss the grooming allegations, soccer club pipeline theories, Epstein-level vibes, the five kids on board, and why ITV just canceled their upcoming football documentary “Up the Jammers.” Trigger warning: this episode covers serious sexual offenses and modern slavery. Salty fam, you’re not gonna believe how deep this rabbit hole goes!
