Wackadoodle Time

Author Jess Gutierrez visits the pod to marvel at Real Housewives of Rhode Island and celebrate Rachel Zoe’s undeniable impact on millennial women. Then Jess and Ellen brainstorm a Real Housewives of Arkansas and spend a good amount of time alienating Amy while talking about a place called Silver Dollar City.

Writer/Performer/Podcaster Becky Feldman visits the pod to discuss the catharsis that comes from watching people being toxic on TV. An exciting Bravo rage room concept comes up, and space is made to celebrate the correct deployment of women like Lala and Below Deck’s Ellie.

Future Ladies of London Friend Of Ryan O’Connor returns to the pod, fascinator in tow, to break down this magical season. Ryan and Ellen also share their concerns about the rumored Summer House: Ozarks spinoff, and brace yourself: the men on The Valley are bad.

It’s time for a vacation from Summer House, so Amy takes Ellen on a trip back through time to Amsterdam with Season 5 of RHOBH. Violence! Addiction! Codependency! Ellen learns about a new trauma response, and Amy is shaken to her core by Kyle’s strategic employment of a bold red lip.

Ellen and Amy try and fail to talk about anything but Summer House, getting partial credit for finding the parallels between our Hamptons crew and the new FLDS doc series on Netflix. They go on to beg Carl to open a SoftBar in LA, then speculate on the psychological makeup of someone who sends pics to Deuxmoi. A note to the listener: this ep was recorded before the filming of the leakiest reunion of all time!

Actor/legend Nicole Sullivan stops by the pod to deliver a bounty of hot takes, as well as a throwback RHOA conspiracy theory that just makes good old fashioned sense. Problematic faves, surprising hate watches, our desire to see all divorced housewives shacking up with hot studs - no topic is safe.
