    25: Faking Car Accidents & Flaking On Dates

    This week's episode is full of confessions, including the libelous lengths we'll go to in order to get out of dates at the last minute. After this soul cleansing via public airwaves, we review the far cry from reality that is Emily in Paris, the new show taking Netlflix and basic bitches everywhere by storm. Finally, Lauren issues a public statement and robust rebuttal against new accusations lobbied at Meghan Markle. And last but not least, we have a juicy interview with dear friend who was once recruited by NXIVM's one and only Marc Elliott. Buckle in, baby. Learn more about your ad choices.

    9: Whatever the Truth

    This week we make our triumphant return and discuss all of the pop culture news no one has, or should, care about during the last two weeks, like the demise of Sophia Richie and Scott Disick's romantic union, the dramatic removal of Kylie Jenner from Forbes' billionaire list, and the deeply inspiring ways Kate Middleton is saving, and salving, the people of England.

    8: Au Pair Nightmére

    This week we dive into it all. Like nannies everywhere being forced to quarantine with their bosses around the clock thanks to Corona. Lauren reveals her own nanny nightmare spent in the South of France that led to a transatlantic rescue by Deb and 14-year old Chanler. Chanler wistfully recounts her LA life and identity coming to a close this week. We offer our thoughts on the pivotal end of an era VPR finale, wherein Lauren exposes a passionate and potentially unhinged defense of Jax Taylor. And of course we share other unhinged thoughts about the real housewives...and their husbands. We also cover the astonishing results of our Tom Girardi hot or not poll on IG and a bit of arm chair psychology regarding what the hell is going on with Dorinda Medley. Buckle in, baby.
