Description

Comedians Lauren Davis (Fox, Hulu) and Michele Baber (Kidd Kraddick) are hysterical women, and we're batsh*t crazy about reality TV. We're two former stand-up comedians and joke writers with a long list of comedic accomplishments and mental illness diagnoses- and now, all of our time, obsession, passion, talent, wit, and neuroses are dedicated entirely to recapping reality shows. We do hours of research to get inside the minds of other gifted and deeply unwell women- the goddesses of reality TV (and their terrible husbands and boyfriends). You'll learn all about these divas' humble beginnings, scandals, relationships- all the stuff that never made it to TV that you want to know but are too lazy to scour the internet to find. We do deep-dives into enigmas like Bethenny Frankel to Hilaria Baldwin to Kelly Bensimmon- and finally give you some answers to the question, "Why on earth do they act like that?" Plus, we do regular comedy recaps of the best reality TV shows on the air to keep you up-to-date with the fast-paced news cycle of Bravolebrities. And enjoy our celebrity guest interviews with reality TV performers, producers, comedians & pop culture icons like Deux Moi, former Bravo top exec Lauren Zalaznick, and Traitors contestant/WOW former World Champ Simone Williams! If you've got a reality TV obsession or want your friends to understand your reality TV obsession, Lauren and Michele will break it all down for you in one hilarious, jam-packed hour of tea and laughs.

Ep. 235- Pop Culture Episode w/ Doménica Feraud
2026/11/14
Pop Culture episode is back! Author and playwright Doménica Faro joins Lauren  to discuss how television shaped our understanding of womanhood, sexuality, and culture. From Gossip Girl’s questionable life lessons to finding comfort in Bravo after losing her mother, they explore why reality TV is so much more than women screaming at each other over dinner. They get into grief, race, representation, and the producers who can turn a harmless comment into a season-long feud. Turns out, Bravo is basically a sociology class with more wine, worse decisions, and a three-part reunion.

Whitney reveals she’s moved into the guest bedroom, while Bronwyn opens up about her own marital struggles. But the real shitshow begins at Bronwyn’s Studio 54 party when Lisa and Meredith decide the night needs a little entertainment and perform their diss track, “Hypocrisy and B******t.” Nothing says disco fever like publicly insulting your host! The women are stunned, the drama escalates, and Lisa and Meredith refuse to take accountability. Meanwhile, Bronwyn reaches her breaking point and walks out of her OWN party with Brandon. Because apparently, the only thing messier than these marriages is this friend group. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep. 225- RHONY S16 Ep. 6 Recap with Pallavi Gunalan
2026/10/16
We're so back, baby! We missed you, Breakdowners! Michele is still on vacay but Lauren soldiers through her sickness to recap RHONY; And she is joined by comic, friend-of-the-pod and "Millennial Mood Board Podcast" host Pallavi Gunalan (Dropout TV- SmartyPants, Dirty Laundry). Pallavi and Lauren honestly have a surreal and confounding time trying to recap this episode, where Carole is heroically questioned by Sai re: the extensive documented correspondence between her and Ghislaine Maxwell in the Epstein files. and Carole is.... mad about this? Somehow cannot fathom a world where someone would be genuinely concerned about her participation in that particular friend group??? Feels it is impolite to point out someone has given three completely contradictory stories about their relationship with the famous financier????? Daisy dukes it out with Sai over the proper ettiquette on holding Carole accountable and what she should've redacted. Sai learns that Erin leaked her separation across Manhattan and hits her with a major zinger; Then outs her for outing Pavit's rumored Equinox gay love affair (Jessel's response: "This is a lie! He doesn't go to the gym!") And it's a bloodbath, literally, when Erin cuts her foot open in the pool, and gives an icy smile as Sai ends the episode injuring her knee at Giant Tennis and being evaluated for a medevac. A star turn for Sai, and like her, "we're not buying it".
