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?

Much to unpack in our special emergency episode.

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!

Lauren and "Friend of the Pod" Sonia Weber from @bravobravobooksandbravo recap the penultimate episode of Ladies of London. It's time to analyze these characters and feuds, American style!

As the Margo vs. Mark feud continues to play out and Lottie and Myka take Margo's side, we deep dive on the UK vs. US conflict that drives the show (no wonder Margo is celebrating July 4th!)

Plus, our examination of the "untouchable" Mark Francis: the man, the myth, the legend- and his defense mechanisms (did he really not know Destiny's Child?)

Last, it's Myka's Polo Party birthday, and Martha has a horse therapy breakthrough. Margo and Mark save their showdown for next week's big finale, and we guess what's coming next season for this fabulous crown jewel of a Bravo show.

In this week’s pop culture episode, we sit down with THE Jordy Cray (yes, we’re unwell about it). We break down all the Bravo chaos, including “West Side Story” (derogatory), Southern Hospitality, RHORI, and everything in between. Tune in as we fully lose composure and fan girl like it’s our full-time job.

Michele is joined by fan fave Farai Bennett to recap the latest Summer House episode. Amanda, Kyle, and West start making everything worse for themselves. Amanda stirs things with Sabrina, Kyle fumbles a basic apology to Carl, and West suddenly has a lot to say now that it is too late. Carl tries to express himself and mostly succeeds emotionally but not verbally, while Ben locks in to defend his relationship with zero hesitation. And while all of that unfolds, Ciara quietly outshines everyone by focusing on her life, her family, and staying above the nonsense.
