Lara and Carey welcome Los Angeles native, electro-clash icon and podcast prophet Heather Jewett to the SUP stu for another chapter of GENIUS ALERT! First they discuss Heather’s musical past in legendary indie band Gravy Train!, getting cancelled on early 2000s lesbian message boards, taking the temperature in the Lindsay Clancy trial, and the sweeping crisis of straight men turning to the outdoors.
Then Heather invites Larz and Carz to come with her down the rocky road of her favorite episode of reality television ever: “Sylvia” in season 2, episode 19 of A&E’s immortal Intervention. Sylvia, the Southern belle Broadway actress turned prestige North Carolina interior designer, has fallen from grace and descended into full blown mini-bottle alcoholism. After two divorces and losing custody of her children, the tortured perfectionist and beauty queen stares down the barrel of vodka-soaked oblivion (with the well-meaning enabling of her appearance-obsessed mother, family, and friends.)
Follow Heather, Lara and Carey as they watch Sylvia try to get her sh*t together as the countdown to her inevitable intervention begins…
