Wackadoodle Time

Comedian/podcaster/aspiring housewife coach Caitlin Bitzegaio drops by to beg Housewives to try and get along. Also discussed: what the Next Gen NYC kids have in common with Ramona Singer, the enjoyable bleakness of The Valley, and a genius career move for girl Brittany.

Amy takes Ellen on an odyssey far more hellish than anything Christopher Nolan could dream up: a bracket to determine, once and for all, the worst man in all of Bravo. Ellen uses this as an opportunity to sneak in some sports talk, and you’ll never believe which demon turns out to be this bracket’s Cinderella story.

Actor, podcaster, and (thanks to RHORI) Bravo newcomer Emily Kunkel gives a masterclass in all things Rhode Island. Waterfire! Sockanosset! Buddy Cianci! Pizza Chips, not to be confused with Party Pizza! What a treat to take a deep dive into a state whose unofficial motto is “I don’t drive on highways.”

We took last week off for the holiday, so enjoy this re-release of episode 54 from December 2025! Legendary character actor and recent Bravo adoptee Eric Edelstein drops in to drop some harsh truths about the state of the world and why we all have blood on our hands. We also discuss his real-life run ins with Vanderpump folks, and call out a stunning film bro example of Housewifery in the wild.

Ellen has some strong feelings about the sorry state of reunions, and Amy couldn’t agree more. They chart a path forward for shows, including a strict but fair system of punishments and rewards. But first, a brief detour to sing the praises of Widow’s Bay!

Sara Coates returns to share a lot of thoughts and feelings around current Bravo culture, including a whopper of a hot take. They set a timer to give ten minutes to the Summer House Aftermath, then move on to celebrate the stellar recent season of Summer Hospitality, which people feel like they’re on their first life, and the joy of watching fights between people with varying degrees of frontal lobe development.
