Tonight we received shocking news: West Wilson has a podcast. Also, he has made his initial statements on his relationship announcement with Amanda that rocked the Bravo world. Also, the podcast is sponsored by Arby's. Could these two crazy influencers be the new Speidi? Why are they making the same mistakes as Tom during Scandoval where he mostly talked about how everyone is mean to them? He is texting not calling his castmates out of respect?

Ep. 136 – Ladies of London S4 Ep. 8 Recap w/Lottie

Michele and Lauren are joined by their favorite Brit, Lottie! Recapping LoL where the group hits Emma’s absurdly fancy safari estate where the champagne is flowing and the vibes should be immaculate. Instead, Margo fixates on Mark’s shady jokes while everyone else treats it like harmless banter. Mark refuses to engage, which somehow makes him double down harder. By the end, Kimi is yelling across the lawn and the wildlife is the least chaotic thing at Longleat. Make sure to review and rate us! It helps our show out a ton!
