The Golden Life Episode 4: Harry Dubin Meets the Boys of Hot Goss
2026/11/11
Harry Dubin has spent decades inside the world of the women of RHONY.
Now the guys from Hot Goss want answers.
Eyal Booker and Lonnie join Rachel and Harry for a very different Episode 4 recap of The Golden Life, bringing their own reality TV experience, behind-the-scenes perspective, and plenty of questions about Harry’s long history with Sonja, Luann, Ramona, Dorinda and the rest of the group.
They get into the reality behind reality television, whether the camera really does lie, how editing can reshape a conversation, Eyal’s experience on Love Island, modern dating, and why Harry keeps finding himself at the center of the drama.
Then things get even more chaotic when Rachel turns the tables with a Hot Goss-style hot seat.
Who would Eyal couple up with from The Golden Life?
Which woman could talk Lonnie into apologizing when he did absolutely nothing wrong?
And what should Harry’s dating reality show be called?
Apparently: Down With Dubin.
The Golden Life Episode 4 recap just got a lot hotter.

Air Traffic Control: The Voices We Trust With Our Lives
2026/11/10
After a deadly Learjet crash near West Palm Beach, the radio exchange between the cockpit and air traffic control left Rachel Uchitel thinking about the person answering those calls. In this episode, she sits down with a former air traffic controller with more than a decade of experience whose career has since taken her to NASA. They explore what’s misunderstood about the profession: how you become a controller, whether you need to know how to fly, what controllers can actually see, and how they make decisions under extraordinary pressure. From training and retirement to the emotional weight of helping someone through their final moments, this conversation introduces the people behind the voices we depend on every time we fly.

S****y Week in Palm Beach: Plane Crashes, Floods, Bathroom Chaos & Harry Dubin
2026/11/07
This week was… a lot.
Rachel and George recap one of the strangest weeks they’ve had in Palm Beach, from Halloween and a devastating local plane crash to flooding so bad that school shut down and parts of the neighborhood were basically underwater.
Then things get much less serious.
George reveals what was actually happening during a Wi-Fi meltdown in the middle of a recent interview, Rachel explains why stress sends her straight to the bathroom, and somehow the conversation turns into $350 “poop shoes,” public bathrooms, and behind-the-scenes podcast chaos.
They also catch up on everything happening with the show, including Blake Mycoskie’s episode, why the Harry Dubin recaps are suddenly exploding, the unexpected attention Harry is getting from other shows, and what’s coming next for Miss Understood.
Plus: the Patreon mystery box winner, upcoming guests, travel plans, and a lot of things that probably should have stayed off mic.
A very s****y week in Palm Beach… in more ways than one.
Harry Dubin Has Had Enough: The Golden Life Episode 3 Recap
2026/11/06
Harry Dubin is back for week three of The Golden Life — and this time he is not pretending to love the episode.
Harry and Rachel break down Episode 3, “Where’s the Stylist?”, including Sonja’s increasingly chaotic behavior, Luann’s cabaret, Dorinda becoming the voice of reason, Kelly staying out of the drama, and Ramona’s treatment of Palm Beach stylist Linda.
Rachel also brings some behind-the-scenes context to the Ramona/Linda confrontation after speaking directly with Linda, who says Ramona absolutely knew who she was before filming.
Then Rachel puts Harry’s decades of Housewives history to the test.
Kiss, Marry, Block: Sonja, Ramona and Luann.
Who would he trust to choose his next girlfriend?
Which woman knows too much about him?
Who gets access to his unlocked phone?
And which former Housewife would Harry ever date again?
As usual, Harry does not hold much back.

Blake Mycoskie: What Happened After the $650 Million Success Story
2026/11/03
Blake Mycoskie built one of the most recognizable purpose-driven brands in the world.
Before TOMS, he was already a serial entrepreneur, launching businesses ranging from a college laundry service to online driver’s education. Then a trip to Argentina inspired an idea that would change his life: sell one pair of shoes and give another pair to someone who needed them.
TOMS started with just $3,000 and grew into a global phenomenon, eventually giving away more than 100 million pairs of shoes.
But while the company was exploding, Blake says he was quietly struggling.
In this deeply personal conversation with Rachel Uchitel, Blake opens up about the pressure to constantly achieve, the external validation that never made him feel like he was enough, the effect that struggle had on his marriage, and the depression that followed the sale of TOMS.
He also shares his experience being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, why he believes that diagnosis was incorrect, what happened after he began taking medication, and how close he came to ending his life before finding a psychiatrist who helped him begin rebuilding.
Blake explains how confronting his own core wounds changed the way he approaches business, relationships and fatherhood, including the emotional conversation he eventually had with his children about the pressure he believes he unintentionally passed down to them.
Today, Blake is still building companies, but he says success no longer determines his worth.
He also talks about the Enough movement, his mental-health work, his podcast No Magic Pill, and a new business created alongside his daughter Charlie.
This is the story behind the success story.

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: Inside the Wild, Weird World of Gilly the Clown
2026/10/31
Happy Halloween from Miss Understood — and who better to celebrate with than a professional clown?
Rachel sits down with Gilly the Clown, aka actor and filmmaker Guilford Adams, for a conversation that is funny, surprisingly thoughtful and occasionally just as bizarre as you’d hope a conversation with a clown would be.
Gilly has spent roughly two decades professionally clowning around Los Angeles, performing thousands of parties and events while also building an extensive acting career. He’s appeared in more than 100 film and television projects, with credits including Modern Family, Glee, Lucifer, The Morning Show and more. He’s also the co-director of the documentary American Clown, which explores what happened to one of America’s oldest forms of entertainment as clowns went from beloved pop-culture figures to something millions of people genuinely fear.
Rachel gets into all of it.
Why did clowns become scary? What actually separates a great clown from someone who just puts on makeup? What happens when a kid at a birthday party is being an absolute nightmare? Are there rules professional clowns are supposed to follow? How much money can you actually make clowning? And what happens when those rules involve drinking, smoking... or apparently the occasional bong rip?
Gilly also talks about raising twins, balancing acting with clowning, his years working parties around Los Angeles, the 2016 “clown panic,” medical clowning, his documentary, and why he still believes there’s something genuinely important about making people laugh.
Yes, we have plenty of fun with Gilly.
But by the end of the conversation, you’ll probably have a very different idea of what it actually means to be a professional clown.

The Golden Life Episode 2 Recap: Harry Dubin Spills on Sonja, Luann, Ramona & Dorinda
2026/10/29
Harry Dubin is back with Rachel Uchitel to break down Episode 2 of The Golden Life — and this time, the recap gets personal.
As Sonja Morgan’s behavior, her history with Luann, and her mysterious new boyfriend take center stage, Harry brings more than just an opinion. He’s known Sonja for more than 30 years, dated women in this circle, attended Luann and Tom D’Agostino’s wedding, and has plenty of off-camera stories of his own.
Harry reveals the wild way he first tracked Sonja down after meeting her in Washington, D.C., weighs in on her lack of boundaries, gives his unfiltered take on Ramona Singer, explains why he believes Luann has a history of going after Sonja’s men, and casually reveals that Dorinda Medley once threw a shoe at him.
Plus, Rachel shares what Tom recently told her about Sonja’s claims that he was “hers first,” Harry talks about his own marriage to Aviva Drescher, and he has a very specific reaction to Sonja announcing she has a boyfriend.
Another episode of The Golden Life. Another 30 years of history for Harry to unpack.

Ranin Karim Revisited: The Other Side of Carl Lentz’s Infidelity Story
2026/10/27
Carl and Laura Lentz are speaking publicly about infidelity, forgiveness and rebuilding their marriage again with the release of their new book, Overcoming Infidelity.
But there is another person whose life became part of that very public story.
In 2023, Rachel sat down with Ranin Karim, the woman whose relationship with former Hillsong NYC pastor Carl Lentz became one of the biggest scandals surrounding the megachurch.
Now, with Carl and Laura telling their story again, Ranin has provided a new statement about the conversation happening today. We’re bringing back Rachel’s original interview because her perspective feels just as relevant now as it did then.
Ranin takes Rachel inside how she says she met Carl without initially knowing who he was, when she discovered he was married, how their relationship continued, and the private conversations she says they had as everything began to unravel.
She also opens up about being labeled “the mistress,” why she ultimately decided to speak publicly, the Hillsong culture surrounding Carl, and why she believes accountability extends far beyond one affair.
At one point, Ranin says Carl told her not to worry because her name was being buried.
Her response became much bigger than the scandal itself: she wasn’t going to allow someone else to decide how her story would be told.
This is an encore presentation of Rachel’s 2023 conversation with Ranin Karim, newly introduced with Ranin’s response to the conversation surrounding Carl and Laura Lentz today.

NYC Chaos, Dan’s Glow-Up & Why Miss Understood Is Having a Moment
2026/10/24
This week has been a LOT.
Rachel and Dan are back in New York, Rachel is recovering from more work with Dr. Ira, and Dan finally did something about the eyelids he says have been bothering him for years. Spoiler: he is now very into looking at himself in the mirror.
We also get into Rachel’s SiriusXM appearance, Harry Dubin officially becoming our weekly Golden Life recap co-host, the possibility of Aviva Drescher joining us, and why the timing of the Michelle Wilkins/Kurt Cobain episode could not have been crazier.
Plus, Rachel, George and Dan talk about what it actually takes to run Miss Understood independently, being in the Top 10 in Society & Culture without a network behind us, and why learning through the chaos has become part of the formula.
And because it wouldn’t be Patreon without some relationship therapy, Rachel and Dan admit they may have become better business partners than romantic partners lately… so George gives them a very questionable alter-ego solution.
We also tease what’s coming next, including new developments in the Amy Tripp saga and a bonus revisit of Rachel’s original interview connected to Carl Lentz and Hillsong.
Basically: cosmetic procedures, podcast chaos, reality-TV crossover, relationship problems and way too much caffeine.
Welcome to Patreon.

Who Killed Kurt Cobain? Michelle Wilkins Reopens the Questions Behind His Death
2026/10/20
Kurt Cobain’s death was ruled a suicide in 1994.
More than three decades later, Michelle Wilkins believes the case deserves another look.
Michelle is the creator behind Who Killed Kurt?, a project dedicated to reexamining the circumstances surrounding Cobain’s death through witness accounts, forensic analysis, public records and the original investigation.
In this episode, she sits down with Rachel Uchitel to explain why she believes the official story leaves major questions unanswered.
Michelle walks Rachel through the account of a man who says he was at Cobain’s Seattle home the night he died, the amount of heroin found in his system, questions surrounding the shotgun and shell casing, the controversial final lines of the note found at the scene, and an outside pathologist’s interpretation of the autopsy.
She also explains how her team brought a large body of research to the Seattle Police Department and why their goal is not to have police simply accept a homicide theory, but to reopen the case and examine the evidence again.
Rachel goes into the conversation knowing very little about the decades of speculation surrounding Cobain’s death.
By the end, she has a lot more questions.
Was the original investigation thorough enough?
Does the physical evidence support the official narrative?
And after all these years, is it time to take another look at what really happened to Kurt Cobain?
This episode discusses disputed claims and theories surrounding Kurt Cobain’s death. His death was officially ruled a suicide, and allegations discussed in this conversation are not findings of fact.

Rachel Got Served: Amy Tripp Finally Filed
2026/10/17
Well… it finally happened.
Rachel was served legal papers from Amy Tripp.
In this Patreon episode, Rachel and George break down what happened when the process server showed up at her house, what Amy is alleging, the damages she is seeking, why the case was filed where it was, and what Rachel’s next steps may look like.
They also get into the history behind this whole situation, the claims Rachel says are false, the messages and documentation she still has, and why this latest move takes the drama to an entirely new level.
Plus, we talk about what could happen next, whether an astrologer could have predicted any of this, and why Harry Dubin may suddenly become a very important character in this story.
The legal saga is officially real now.
And yes, Rachel has thoughts.
This episode reflects the hosts’ opinions and discussion of allegations contained in a legal filing. Allegations are not findings of fact.
Chronic Chaos: Ann Marie Farino on Richard, Grief & Finding Joy After Loss
2026/10/16
Earlier this year, Rachel sat down with Ann Marie Farino for an unforgettable conversation about her son Richard, addiction, suicide, grief and the difficult journey toward finding joy again.
Today, we’re bringing that conversation back for a very special reason.
Ann Marie’s memoir, Chronic Chaos: A Son’s Addiction, A Mother’s Love, and Her Quest to Find Joy, is now available.
Rachel was honored to provide an endorsement for the book, and with its release, we wanted to revisit the conversation that introduced so many Miss Understood listeners to Ann Marie and Richard’s story.
Richard was funny, charming, rebellious and endlessly capable of creating what Ann Marie affectionately calls “shenanigans.”
But underneath that larger-than-life personality was a young man struggling with his mental health and addiction.
His journey took his family through marijuana, opioids, heroin, treatment programs, wilderness programs, an overdose, the criminal justice system and even an unbelievable encounter in which the FBI approached Richard about going undercover with an anarchy group.
Eventually, Richard got sober.
For the final three years of his life, he remained sober, built a career, fell in love and became engaged.
From the outside, things finally seemed to be moving in the right direction.
“There were no red flags. There were green flags,” Ann Marie tells Rachel.
The night before his death, Richard sent his mother a photo and told her, “It’s a great day.”
The following day, at 24 years old, Richard died by suicide.
Ann Marie opens up about the call that changed her life, the guilt and questions that can follow suicide, the work of grief therapy, learning how to get out of bed again, the signs she believes Richard continues to send her and the moment she began allowing herself to experience joy without guilt.
She also explains how helping other people through loss became part of her own healing and ultimately part of her purpose.
That journey is now told in full in Chronic Chaos, a memoir about a son’s addiction, a mother’s enduring love and what it means to build a life after unimaginable loss.
This is an encore presentation of Rachel Uchitel’s conversation with Ann Marie Farino, released in celebration of Chronic Chaos, available now.

Matt Easton: The Cheat Codes to Confidence, Communication & Getting What You Want
2026/10/13
Matt Easton knows how to sell.
But this conversation is not really about sales.
It’s about the tiny interactions that can change your career, your relationships and the way people respond to you.
Matt joins Rachel Uchitel to explain the “cheat codes” he believes most people are missing when it comes to confidence, communication and getting what you want without manipulating anyone.
His philosophy started long before he became a sales coach. Matt grew up with a single mother who made roughly $4,000 a year. As a child, he struggled to read and believed he wasn’t smart. Then a chance interaction with a salesman driving the exact Porsche Matt dreamed about changed the way he saw the world.
From buying business cards for companies that didn’t exist, to throwing a rave despite never having attended one, to figuring out how to get into a nightclub every weekend without owning a car, Matt built his life around one question: how can I make someone else’s life better while solving the problem in front of me?
Rachel and Matt talk about why ego can destroy opportunity, the difference between confidence and arrogance, why most people have forgotten how to communicate, how simply asking can change your dating life, why small everyday interactions matter more than we realize and how Matt believes AI should actually be used.
And yes, there are sales lessons.
But Matt’s bigger argument is that every interaction is an opportunity to practice how you move through the world.
Because life may not be fair.
But according to Matt, there are cheat codes.

What Is a Sugar Baby? My Seeking Arrangement Tell-All
2026/10/10
Before the "honey please" texts made sugar babies front-page news, I was hired by Seeking Arrangement — the controversial dating website — to destigmatize sugar baby/sugar daddy relationships, taking the argument all the way to the Wendy Williams Show! Filming from New York with my friend Diana, I tells the full saga: how I got hired, what a sugar baby actually is, and how it connects to the scandal engulfing Kimberly Guilfoyle, whose lawyer disputes the reported $100,000 "honey please" texts.
