  • 439: The Kennedy Center Will Not Hold
    Feb 7 2026

In a barnburner of an episode, Lisa Rinna takes the Lovett or Leave It stage to take us behind the scenes of Traitors - and explain what happens when the inner Housewife is released. Then Rachel Bloom is back and we fall in love all over again. And we wrap it all up with a few second thoughts that are second to none.
