EPISODE 18: RHOP-WE'RE NOT HOSTING A PARTY IN YOUR F'ING DRIVEWAY! (PART TWO)

Welcome to Part Two of our recap of The Real Housewives of Potomac - Season 6, Episode 12 – “Reasonable or Shady?” With special guests Amanda Blake Davis!!! Welp. We had some time off. The holidays and life got busy and even Robyn is behind on all her beloved Bravo shows. YET, this episode is worth the wait! Some of ABD and Carla’s hilarious takes: ● More ABD takes on Gizelle’s “trashy” driveway party she hosted during Covid. The real hero of this story? The poor BARTENDER who had to serve these ladies in this ridiculousness! ● Carla weighs in to defend Gizelle - “SHE. IS. CLASS.” ● And ABD teaches a masterclass on how to be a professional creator - with specific thoughts on Candiace’s “Drive Back” video. Let’s just say… we all learned a lot and are better for it. We are so grateful to our hilarious friend Amanda Blake Davis. Follow her @missamandablake [https://www.instagram.com/missamandablake/].

EPISODE 17: RHOP-WE'RE NOT HOSTING A PARTY IN YOUR F'ING DRIVEWAY! (PART ONE)

Welcome to Part One of our recap of The Real Housewives of Potomac - Season 6, Episode 12 – “Reasonable or Shady?” With special guests Amanda Blake Davis!!! Robyn was CERTAIN this would be a win for the ladies! And yet ABD said, “I’d rather compost than watch this show.” And Carla agreed! There’s no holding back on the hot takes in this episode. Yet we all can agree that these ladies Show Up. They Turn Up. And they look Fabulous.” Hot debates include: ● Is the janky party Gizelle hosts in her driveway while her house is under construction produced? ● Is this the origin of the Shady parlor games? And are they necessary? ● Could there be a Real Housewives franchise where everyone is just supportive and NICE to each other? ABD and Carla vote YES! ● And the question is posed: Is Wendy’s candle a 1-wick Wonder? Or is Karen’s 3-wick the lasting winner? And we have a new segment on the show: THE BOOT! In which we decide which of the cast members should get ‘the (Gizelle) Boot’ and leave our screens forever (or until they join the casts of Traitors, House of Villains, or Special Forces) Despite these hot debates, Carla loved ALL the women and wants no one kicked off. Will her wish come true? With the news of late…. That’s TBD. We are so grateful to our hilarious friend Amanda Blake Davis. Follow her @missamandablake [https://www.instagram.com/missamandablake/].

Episode 16 – LET’S TALK ABOUT THE HUSBANDS… RHOC: PART TWO

Welcome back to Part Two of our recap of The Real Housewives of Orange County - Season 10, Episode 2 – “Take a Swing” With special guests - Carla & Robyn’s Husbands Craig Cackowski and Atul Singh! Craig and Atul feel for the husbands on these shows - “They didn’t sign up for this!” The group dissects Shannon Beador’s “Eulogy Therapy”. And we get deep into a discussion of the real reasons people are drawn to these shows: * Is it women clocking micro interactions? * Is it comfort TV from a nurturing impulse? * ‘And why are people still friends after their Bestie throws wine in their face on national television? (probably the paycheck) Plus, Carla is shocked that Shannon has more followers than LuAnn. LuAnn is so funny! Yet we all agree, after watching “Money Can’t Buy You Class”, that it is the work of an artist in the early stages of finding their (ahem) “voice”. Out of 5 stars, the husbands may have rated Orange County only ½ star. Yet, even Craig admitted these shows “bring pleasure and joy to millions.” And, for Robyn, that’s enough for us to keep on going. Unlike the show, BravoTV did not destroy these real-life marriages. Or this podcast! The Bravo Bubble. This podcast lives on!! Links: NO QUIZ THIS WEEK! No show notes either. We dove straight into the episode and didn’t come up for air!

Episode 14: PUT A SHIRT ON!

We’re checking out of the Love Hotel. But our hearts can never leave! In a shocking first, Carla RACED ahead of Robyn and binged THE REST OF THE SEASON! That’s right. We’re recapping Episodes 3 through 8 of Season One of Bravo’s Love Hotel. If you haven’t already, binge the rest like Robyn had to at 4am this morning – WORTH IT! Plus, Carla did a deep dive and educates Robyn on some hot post-show goss – where are they now? Is anyone still together? The jury is in – we give our keys to ALL these ladies. And this is the most gossipy Robyn & Carla have been so far on this podcast! Listen & play along to find out what Robyn will assign Carla (and YOU!) next. Links: NO QUIZ THIS WEEK!
