Boy Meets Bravo

It. All. HAPPENED!! Our BMB Baby and 4th tiny co-host has made her way into the world along with Kate Chastain's Bravo Baby - yay for us! And BravoCon Take 2 news has dropped! We've secured a babysitter and are heading to Vegas, baby. Our girl Eboni K. Williams has been trending in the news and we catch The Boy up on #Scandoval. Our baby-themed episode continues with a current RHONJ update and a throwback to Season 2 where Teresa gives birth to sweet Audriana...a labor and delivery experience MUCH different than Brie's. And a very, very special game time...on Part 2!

Another week of Bravo TV, and Happy Trumpito Day! We start this week's episode off with a congratulatory virtual cheers at the news of a Trump indictment - congrats, America - and an update on #SCANDOVAL...oddly kind of the same level of ick. And then The Boy Meets Real Housewives Ultimate Girl Trip 3 all the way in Phuket, Thailand! Anyone else wonder how Vicki Gunvalson took it knowing Peacock increased their RHUGT budget by at least 600% since the Berkshires trip? We learn that RHUGT 3 resulted in a change in The Boy's Top Housewives List - way to get up there, Candiace! - and we discuss Gizelle's unreasonable shadiness as well as all of the residual angst coming off of recently filmed seasons of Real Housewives of Potomac and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Finally, we've got a St. Andy Award to give out! Hint: Pepsi '24.

Another day, another Scandoval update before we introduce The Boy to the Real Housewives of Miami Season 5 Reunion! He recaps the season based on maybe 90 minutes worth of watch time (don't worry, we fill in the gaps), we determine which of Larsa's lies are truths (fun fact: none), Ariana's new hit is added to The Boy's playlist (it's on fiyah, if you will), and the Give Marysol a Peach campaign begins! We've also got a St. Andy Award to give out; here's a hint: O Captain, My Captain!

We're here for the same reason every other Bravo TV podcast held an emergency recording session last week...the #SCANDOVAL of it all.

As a podcaster, when you get to fan girl/boy over your radio role models...it's a good day. This week, we welcomed fellow ATLien, comedian, and host of Davi the Scapegoat Podcast Davi Crimmins to the BMB Zoom Room! We catch up on her current goings on - starting her own podcast, gearing up for her comedy tour - and then Davi Meets Bravo TV! We get Davi's take on current Bravo TV drama with some real scenarios (that may feel like fiction) and play "I Hate That Guy! or I'd Date That Guy!"

We're taking it WAY back for our very first From the Vault episode! We introduced The Boy to Real Housewives of Potomac Season 1, Episode 1! This was a fun one as we got to revisit our girl Katie Rost, the OG Grand Dame Charrisse Jordan, and remembered 27-year-old Ashley (formerly) Darby! Join us on this blast to the past and let us know what you want us to check out next!  

We hopped back into the BMB Zoom Room early when Jen Shah's sentencing finally occurred...and yes, The Boy is mourning. Is Jen Shah really the ultimate villain or is she just a cog in the machine? We *mention it all* and play a Shahmazing game of Chopped!

Happy New Year! We've got a Baby Bite of BMB full of all. the. Shahmazing. things. coming your way, so join us as we catch up after the holidays as Desmond becomes America's Top Bravo Insider - Rinna's RHOBH exit, Jason from Winter House caught on a potential date with Gizelle Bryant, RHONY Legacy - to keep us from the real tea. 

The Second Annual St. Andy Awards are here!! And please be warned: The winners are totally subjective, so take it up with management, y'all. But first...

Part 2: Jenny Blaze from Bravo and Blaze joins us as we recall our respective BravoCon experiences, our thoughts on the new additions to Winter House (see: The Girl Who Expects Compliments + did Jason invite Jenny to the Winter House?!), and do some preliminary judgements on the newest crew to Bravo from Southern Hospitality (Pump Rules but makin' it Gen Z). Finally, who ACTUALLY gave Heather Gay her black eye??

And the categories for the 2022 St. Andy Awards are...

Part 1: Dynamic Duo | Cutest Couple | Andy's Pet | Miss Bravo TV | Bravo MVP

Part 2: Best Side Hustle | Moment of the Year | Best Overall Franchise | Rookie of the Year | The Boy's Choice

Our guest:

The Second Annual St. Andy Awards are here!! And please be warned: The winners are totally subjective, so take it up with management, y'all. But first...

Part 1: With besties of the pod, Jost & Terrence from Bravo Boyfriends and Nyemade Boiwu from Bold, Black, and Addicted to Bravo, we touch on highlights from Below Deck (saying a temporary farewell to our forever Captain Lee), Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (Desmond's Shah Squad leadership remains intact), Real Housewives of Potomac (peak Housewives!), and Family Karma (increase that marketing budget, Andy!).

And the categories for the 2022 St. Andy Awards are...

Part 1: Dynamic Duo | Cutest Couple | Andy's Pet | Miss Bravo TV | Bravo MVP

Part 2: Best Side Hustle | Moment of the Year | Best Overall Franchise | Rookie of the Year | The Boy's Choice

Our guests: 

Part 1: Crazy. Surreal. BANOODLES. These are just a few words we use to describe our trip to Mecca...we went to BravoCon and nothing will ever be the same. Before we rehash the best weekend of our lives, Desmond solidified himself as leader of the #ShahSquad after a BIG Instagram follower joined his personal page, we dissect Eboni K. Williams's completely justified read of The Singer Stinger, and get ready to introduce our baby GIRL to the world of Bravo! 

Now, BravoCon highlights: NYC traffic interactions are terrifying, we continue to do the tough journalism work and ask Hubb House and Ciara the hard-hitting Austen Kroll question of the century, RHOA delivered with a side of Bolo stick, and Desmond is down to return if the bar is open at 9 AM again! 

We're bringing a baby... to BravoCon?! You heard it here first, y'all: BMB Baby headed our way in Spring (Summer, September...?) 2023! So...we'll be going on break in approximately 6 months, but until then, we're psyched to hit NYC and meet some of our podcasting BFFs and Bravolebrity faves at BravoCon! LP is crafting us the most ideal Saturday schedule, we're hitting a Bravo happy hour with fellow content creators, and Desmond is prepping his opening line for when he hopefully meets RHOA's Kenya Moore. During Tea Time - not to be confused with British Tea Time - we head back to our Season 1 roots with the ladies of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City! The Boy still heads up the ATL Division of The Shah Squad, we're surprised by the alliance shifts (bad weather coming through!), but do we miss Mary M. Cosby? Finally, The Boy shows off his RHOSLC knowledge in a game of "Who Said That?!" Check out Chiks n' Flicks anywhere you get your podcasts! And if you like what you hear, please subscribe, give us 5 stars, and leave a review! 

St. Andy answered our prayers because the one and only Real Housewife of Dallas that we want back on our television screens, Dr. Tiffany Moon, is in the BMB Zoom Room! We catch up with Dr. Moon and get the scoop on her busy life since we've seen her on RHOD, from mommying to doctoring to comedian...ing?! You know she does it all! ALSO, move aside Karen Huger because medical-themed candles anyone?! Check out Aromasthesia by Dr. Tiffany Moon for your household smell good needs! Finally, Dr. Moon spills all the tea with us: she reveals if she is still in contact with any of her former cast members, the one item in her closet that she loves the most but is also secretly ashamed of, and what it would take to get her back on Bravo TV (Andy Cohen, you know Married to Medicine Dallas is MADE FOR HER!).  

As we surmise the details of BravoCon beyond the Bravolebrity list, we get to break the news to The Boy that 3LW & her husband (the Gorgas) did not, in fact, attend the Jersey wedding of the century! Meanwhile on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, art imitates life as Covid quarantines the housewives in waves. The Boy turns on Fancy & we are still Sluttin’ for Sutton. We pick up on Kyle’s secret Executive Producer title - you tried, but we see you, girl - and are impressed by Erika pulling some Rinna Hustle with her many revenue streams during these *unprecedented* & broke times. 

WE ARE GOING TO BRAVOCON! We're coming home, Andy!! And no idea how we forgot about this, but we got tickets to see Sonja in our city! RHONY's Sonjarita put on quite the show in our hometown of Atlanta with local drag queens, audience participation, and more fun than Austen and Craig would know what to do with on their live tour (sorry, not even a little bit sorry). This episode, we set our eyes on Blue Stone Manor where Dorinda continually tries - and fails - to Make It Nice...yikes. As ATLiens, we were thrilled to have a Phaedra redemption season and did Eva top Paige DeSorbo on The Boy's Top Bravo Queen spot?? We classify Jill as a (SURPRISE!) take it or leave it cast member but Dorinda needs to be on Andy's television forever. Finally, Desmond practices his Calm App Story Time audition and we give an impromptu St. Andy Award! 

After we lust over Christopher Meloni's naked Peloton ad (Thank you, thank you, thank you, Peloton!), we confront The Boy about the recent news of his first Bravo TV love's self-proclaimed guilt in the court of law...Jen Shah is guilty and he cannot escape this truth! But good news: our Bravocon hotel is BOOKED! Bad news: 3-day ticket prices to Bravocon. That's it. That's the tweet. ANYWAYS, Southern Charm is back with a few familiar faces and a handful of newbies to shake things up (for better or for worse). We debate Chleb's actions prior to his breakup with Kathryn, we wonder if Naomi’s voice overs give Southern Charm a Gossip Girl vibe, and are we *gulp* Team Shep?! Finally, The Boy casts Southern Charm: Atlanta! 

Who's booked their Bravocon hotel because we want to do hoodrat stuff with our friends! After spending 30 minutes of pre-production finding the perfect walking distance dwellings near the Javits Center, Desmond brings his most important Bravo News and LP details the most awkward lunch conversation of her adult life. Brie falls back into the Below Deck universe (thank you, Aesha) and we try and fail to understand Diana Jenkins's social media downfall. But onto Bravo TV's most beautiful newbies, the ladies of Real Housewives of Dubai! Keep the goats, Chanel Ayan, but also here's your Reality TV Emmy after only the season premiere. LP gets Big Stalker Energy from Caroline Brooks, we want to snatch center peach from Caroline Stanbury, and Phaedra, girl, what are you doing in Dubai?? Finally, we've got a St. Andy to give out that goes beyond the Bravo TV universe and hits close to home for us.

 Another week of Bravo! And we have returned from our trip to Cali to discuss our favorite ladies in Cali with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 12 premiere! And before we head to Californiaaaaa, we give you the scoop on LP and Brie's midweek trip to Austen & Craig's Pillows and Beer Live Show when they came to Atlanta! Spoiler alert: We didn't have enough content to make a whole episode out of it, so there's that. BUT LP did get to ask Austen a live question and you'll want to stick around to hear it (NSFW!). Real Housewives of Beverly Hills starts with the biggest news we fans discovered while they filmed: Dorit's home invasion. This is obviously traumatic and we are so glad she and her family are well. But happy birthday to Harry Hamlin! Sorry your birthday dinner went left in what seems to be the theme of this season: Sutton Stracke v. Everybody. We meet Diana Jenkins, a very rich bitch and Erika's hopeful new BFF, and Desmond - our resident Bravo Insider - forgot Crystal was even on the show...if she's never trending on Twitter, that's a problem. This week, The Boy is in charge of Game Time as we play "Desmond's Descriptions."

We are back with Part 2 of our RHOA Season Premiere recap with our good friend Nela from Fix My Life Podcast! Brie made a major mistake last episode and forgot to mention what we've all been waiting for our (hyperbolic) literal whole lives: the return of BRAVOCON! We hope to see you all in NYC in October!! You can find The Boy wherever Kenya is, probably. And for the meat of the episode, our hometown peaches are BACK and we can't get enough of it all! Our favorite bone collector is back - hey, Sheree! - and Marlo has her peach! Sonya and her family can stay as long as they'd like if it's up to us, and Nela thinks the premiere episode might need to be named "Everybody Hates Drew." We get some tea about Marlo's billionaire sugar daddy and The Boy and Nela discuss whether any attractive billionaires actually exist. Finally, Nela gives us an exclusive tarot reading!

It's the BEST DAY because friend of the pod and fellow Bravo lover, Nela from Fix My Life Podcast, joins us in the BMB Zoom Room! If a podcast could be action-packed, this one is because we had to publish in two parts! In Part 1, we *mention it all* as far as Bravo TV is concerned. LP finds a fellow Below Deck fan (#captainleeforlife), we learn about Jen Shah's Trump University background(?!), The Boy is schooled on the OGs of the OCs and the Housewives origin story, AND Nela drops some bombs about the Manzo's alleged mobster ties! It's a wild ride - join us! 

Life be lifin', y'all! We are back with the OG BMB crew and in our hometown of ATL as we dive into new Bravo TV favorite Kandi & the Gang! The dysfunction is hot in that kitchen and we thank Auntie Kandi & Uncle Todd for it all. Before we discuss ATL's VPR, we talk about our current podcast obsessions - a little bit of 2 Teas in a Pod and a whole lot of Crime Junkie. Brie & LP landed *free* Pillows and Beer Live Tour tickets, so it's investigative date night! We will circle back with our findings...but on to Kandi & the Gang. We quickly agree that we could not employ family members unless we were rich enough to gamble with business success, but if the food is food (and it is, we've tried it) and business seems to be booming, more power to the Old Lady Gang! And finally, we've got a St. Andy Award to hand out to the man, the myth, the BEAT LEGEND Brian Redmond himself!

We found another Boy to meet Bravo! This week, The Boy finds camaraderie in another boy whose fiancee is a friend of the pod, Bravo IG group chat member, and fellow Bravo TV superfan! Brittany and Monty join us to talk all things Bravo TV - from our reactions to the RHONY 2.0 news to Monty's precious Teresa Giudice impression, we *mention it all*! Summer House had an Emmy Award-winning episode that we had to discuss, so we break it down in the BMB Zoom Room. In a Summer House fight, do we want Paige or Danielle to have our backs? Did Ciara look desperate when Austen "Woody from Toy Story" Kroll comes tearing the Summer House family apart for Hubb House's birthday? Did we miss having ZERO Kymanda drama?! And finally, our BMB Game Master LP leads the two couples in a game of We Stan or No Ma'am!

Bienvenidos a Miami, mi gente! We are thrilled to be back in Coral Gables with the Real Housewives of Miami in The House That Elsa Built (may she rest in peace). And we've got a friend of the podcast, Veronica, joining us for the first time in the BMB Zoom Room! Veronica was anti-Bravo TV until she accidentally watched RHOA from Season 1 to present in a week...happens to the best of us. The Boy admittedly loved him some RHOMiami this week! He was already a fan of Larsa('s ass) and we certainly were glad to have all of Alexia's telenovela lifestyle back on our screens via Peacock (just take our money forever at this point). While we couldn't agree on a rating for this comeback season, we did agree that Marysol deserves a peach, Andy! And Tea Time takes a sharp left turn...something about a ball in a Cuban shaft?? We've got a St. Andy to give out, too! 

This week, Simone & Erin from Bravo's Housevibes Podcast join us in the BMB Zoom Room! We bond over our obvious love of Bravo TV while accidentally deep diving into reality tv past (Style Network, anyone?). The Boy and Simone go down a Kanye rabbit hole (RIP 2008 Kanye) and LP tries to convince us all that Below Deck is worth the hype. As Real Housewives of Salt Lake City winds down in the Season 2 finale, we all admit a deep, dark secret...we're going to miss Mary M. Cosby. And while The Boy continues to Stan for his girl, Jen Shah, we wonder if RHOSLC peaked in its sophomore season and we slam the door on Jennie Nguyen who ended the season in a way that really makes just so much sense now. We end with a game brought to us by our resident gamemaster: Would You Rather?!

This week was the BEST because we had Bravo podcast favorites of ours, Donny and Quin from Know That Podcast, in the BMB Zoom Room to chat about all the Bravo TV things this week! We discovered our shared love for Summer House while trying to convince The Boy that his dog Detective Benson needs a Detective Stabler buddy. #peerpressure  On to the Real Housewives of New Jersey where we had several questions: Does RHONJ need new blood and should Bravo TV bring Snookie in to shake things up? Will the Melissa/Teresa family feud ever end (short answer: no)? Will America get another montage of the Giudice home before the girls move in with Red Flag Luis? And why, Jennifer Aydin's plastic surgeon, why??  Finally, we round out the episode with a St. Andy Award that is long overdue!  

The gang plus some new attractive friends are back in Montauk and all is right in our world! The Boy admittedly loves him some Summer House - could it be all of the gorgeous women running around in bikinis? *ding ding ding* - and he has lots of thoughts this week! Somehow, everyone seems to have had a glow up and Sober Carl is truly the best Carl. We've got a new meathead on the block - here's looking at you, Alex - and Summer Kyle is back in full force..and it's not a fun time. We will never understand the Kymanda unofficial official alcoholic pre-marital contract(?) and can ANYONE understand how Paige could choose Craig over our Italian angel Andrea?? Before we give out this week's St. Andy, motion to find the broad who kicked Andrea in the face! We are ready to get our Liam Neeson on, broad.

Happy 2022, fam!! This week, we catch up on all things Bravo TV - from Below Deck's Maury Moment (Jean Luc, you ARE the father!) to finding the most random content (Lunchtime by Bravo?). Nonetheless...we Stan. Someone we no longer Stan is Jennie Nguyen from RHOSLC who took zero accountability for her racist social media posts and was swiftly fired from her franchise. So, we would like to formally rescind her 2021 Rookie of the Year St. Andy Award. Sorry, not sorry. But this week, The Boy Meets Porsha's Family Matters! We hop down to the beaches of Mexico - where we would have attended Lauren's many meditation sessions, good job, girl - and discuss the confusing train wreck that is Porsha's hopeful blended family. Besides the Simon of it all, we can't imagine taking a vacation like this one, Bravo-funded or not.

Our last St. Andy Awards bonus episode is one of our favorites of 2021 because Big Frank Catania from Bravo TV's Real Housewives of New Jersey joined us in the BMB Zoom Room! He fills us in on the status of his kids, Dolores, and the family's NINE dogs, we get some insight on the shenanigans between the other Househusbands of New Jersey, and Frank accepts our invitation to Atlanta. The theme of his visit: areolas and lips. You don't want to miss this one!

The Boy is officially inducted into the Bravo TV Fan Family because he was in the presence of reality tv greatness! We were so blessed and excited to welcome St. Andy Awards winners and Real Housewives of New Jersey favorites Margaret Josephs. Joe Benigno, and Marge Sr. to the studio this week! In this very special bonus episode, we get all the scoop on the true bromance that is the real Househusbands of New Jersey, how Margaret got involved in RHONJ, and the strangest place Marge Sr. had sex?! You don't want to miss this fun time! Enjoy!

We have a supersized season finale and end of 2021 episode this week! In Part One, we welcome some of our favorite friends of the podcast and fellow Bravo TV fanatics to the Zoom Room: Colin Hanks, Nicole, and Josh & Terrence from Bravo Boyfriends Podcast! We had lots of highs and lows this year on Bravo TV, with all of the court-related dramas topping both of those respective lists. From Erika Jayne Girardi's alleged knowledge of her husband's thievery to Jen Shah's alleged fraudulent behavior, the tea has stayed PIPING hot. And even though The Boy is the sole traveler on the Shah Squad train, we can all agree that Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip should definitely be Ramona Singer's swan song (bye wig!) and we lament the way Cynthia is leaving Bravo TV with her woeful experience on RHUGT. Also, we have conflicting emotions about Nene's new relationship status! Is OG House Husband Gregg's passing too close or did she fulfill her "till death do us part" vows? Join us for our end of year Bravo kiki!

How is 2021 almost over?! We are so close to having a total Bravo TV convert in The Boy, but we'll use this week as another opportunity to reel him in. LP and Brie give Lala Kent her flowers for walking her talk and leaving Rand in the dust after the cheating rumors prove to be true. Besides helping to keep Vanderpump Rules afloat, she's also making boss moves in her podcast and in her personal life. Cheers! The consensus this week is clear: Give us more Winter House! 6 episodes is far too short, so bring it back ASAP, Bravo. Oddly enough, you'll (briefly) find us on the same page as Austen while simultaneously anticipating his sad Shep 2.0 storyline on the next season of Southern Charm - sorry, not sorry. And the Nicki Minaj takeover we didn't realize we needed has arrived! The Boy is a fan of how Nicki's appearance brought the women of RHOP together AND he delivers his first St. Andy Award of the season!

Happy Thanksgiving! This year, we are thankful for our Bravo TV podcast community and, as always, Bravo TV. This week, we channel our inner, awkward Thanksgiving dinner conversation by discussing RHONY's official hiatus, per Andrew Cohen, and whether we blame Eboni for this season's flop. Should reality tv really be a "break" from the reality we live each day? And The Boy stays loyal to his girl, Jen Shah. He reminds us that the court of public opinion is not, in fact, the law of the land (tell that to Bravo Nation). And Boy Meets Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip! In spite of just so much naked Ramona, we are really enjoying this feel-good spin-off franchise. We discuss what Bravo merch we would bring with us if we were stuck on an island, and we give out a St. Andy Award to one of the RHUGT OGs!

Did anyone else wake up and remember that the Real Housewives of Miami was returning to our screens?! We fill Desmond in on the ladies of RHOM and were surprised by his thoughts on founding housewife Larsa Pippen, and Desmond politely declines to comment on Mama Elsa...may she rest in peace. We also catch up on our weekly non-Bravo TV-related obsession, Law and Order: Organized Crime (more commonly known as Daddy Stabler's show) and we are pretty intrigued by Part 1 of the Real Housewives of Potomac Reunion. Some questions, though: Why is Candiace's mom pulling a Mama Joyce? Why won't Gizelle fire her stylist? What's Darby's Barbie's secret to the ultimate snap back after baby?!? And on to the episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City we've all been waiting for...the arrest, y'all! How Desmond's girl came up with the internal bleeding excuse unde such stress and short notice is beyond us. All of the ladies reactions really support what we know about their personalities and we discuss which housewife we are in this scenario (spoiler: Desmond is Stuart). And this week's St. Andy Award goes to Lindsay Hubbard for reacting appropriately and with boss energy to Austen Kroll's abysmal WWHL appearance. We will never understand The Austen Effect, but we Stan a woman who knows her worth and acts on it!

On today's episode, we get ready to say farewell to Below Deck (Desmond gives up and we kind of do, too), but before that we welcome Hub House to Winter House and love to hate Austen even more for the "I love you...like a sister" BS. We also definitely knew The Real Housewives of Dubai was being announced this week, but our city ideas were way, way off. And while the OG Below Deck Boat Daddy and Eddie's cute face has kept us coming back, we say an official goodbye to Below Deck. It's been real. Finally, we play a Watch What Happens Live Halloween-themed game with "Hibachi or Versace?"

Winter should be fun, and we agree that the cast of Bravo TV's Winter House is off to a great, boozy start! Before we jump into the premiere of Bravo TV's first series collab, we reminisce about our TV watching pasts (Degrassi: Next Generation, anyone?) and talk about Desmond and Brie's weekend discussing Bravo TV with Nyemade Boiwu of YouTube's Black, Bold and Addicted to Bravo! There is also much Bravo TV news to cover, so a big congratulations goes out to Madison Lecroy who has finally met her attractive match in a fiance! And in between gushing (lusting?) over the Winter House cast, we lament Kyle's angry leprechaun return over Primary-Bedroom-Gate and have so. many. questions. about why half of the house wants in Austen Kroll's bed?! We end the episode with Game Time - it's time for Bed, Wed, or Dead: Winter House Edition!

Check out our guest appearance on Bold, Black, and Addicted to Bravo! on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdS8x6eFR_k

Another week, another time to dish! We catch up on the week in Bravo TV news before we join the superior West Coast wives at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion AKA The Housewife and the Hustler Part 2. But first: A big Jersey congratulations are in order for Teresa Giudice, Real Housewives of New Jersey OG and Bravo TV icon. We hope Luis is, as they say in Bachelor Nation, "in it for the right reasons." This week, we tackle Parts 1 & 2 of the RHOBH Reunion. We take a seat on our self-proclaimed Fashion Police thrones while The Boy surprises us all with some Garcelle slander (not Fancy?!). He and LP remain loyal to Erika Jayne Girardi, but our big question is this: Who do we have to bribe to get a coveted copy of the already sold out Not All Diamonds and Rosé?!

We go down a TV rabbit hole at the start of this episode - Squid Game was a thrilling surprise and Dog the Bounty Hunter can't arrest people?!, but what Bravoholic can't appreciate some off topic analysis (see: Lisa Rinna deflecting from Garcelle's accusations in RHOBH Part 1 Reunion...)? This week, The Boy returns to Potomac and Salt Lake City, two of his ADMITTED favorite Bravo TV franchises! Listen as he defends being Team Candiace in the Mia/Candiace "Yo Mama" debacle and how we might approach drama with our mother's friends (hint: we wouldn't. at all). We've also got a St. Andy Award to give out, and for the first time, it goes to a House Husband!

The Boy has BIG NEWS: *drum roll* Real Housewives of Salt Lake City icon Jen Shah officially follows us on Instagram, which means we are one step closer to holding our own peach... But really, so much Bravo TV and so little time, y'all! Before we jump into Pump Rules, The Boy grudgingly offers his congratulations to Summer House's Kyle Cook and Amanda Batula on their recent nuptials (while Lp and Brie offer their heart eyes to Carl who looked dapper as the officiant of the Kymanda wedding!) We discuss even more Real Housewives of Atlanta cast news as we lament the exit of Portia Williams but applaud the potential entrance of Akon's not-wife to the cast. So messy. And as intrigued as we are about a 4-part Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, please let Andrew Cohen know that this does NOT excuse the total dismissal of Real Housewives of New York and the robbing of Eboni K. Williams's first reunion. This week, The Boy dubs Lisa Vanderpump "Madame Mogul" as Bravo TV nation is reintroduced to the new-ish cast of Vanderpump Rules. We are all flabbergasted at DJ James Kennedy's gall to come after a Vanderpump offspring, and we also have questions about being California sober? And someone check on Charli and Bambi Eyes...remind them not to come for our girl, Lala. Finally, we've got a St. Andy Award to give out!

 The Boy has returned for the Season 2 premiere of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City! And this episode is very unofficially brought to you by LoverBoy because it finally made its way to Atlanta! Try the White Tea Peach; you won’t regret it. This episode, friend of the pod and fellow Bravo Superfan, Nicole, joins us in the Zoom Room to dish on all things RHOSLC. We admire the editors’ shadiness in reintroducing Jen Shah to Bravo Nation, discuss the cold front in the form of Meredith Marks that has joined Team WHeather, attempt to understand Mary Cosby’s newest podcasting venture?, and gush over newbie Jennie Nguyen as she makes her Bravo debut! Finally, we award our weekly St. Andy Award — check us out and let us know what you think!

For this BONUS episode of Boy Meets Bravo, LP and Brie get The Boy caught up on the what’s been going on in Bravo Nation during their end-of-summer hiatus. They give well-deserved flowers to Gregg Leakes, an OG House Husband who left this world too soon, chat about the Real Housewives of New York finale (with no reunion in sight, Andy?!), anticipate the return of Desmond’s self-proclaimed favorite franchise Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, recount the legal woes of the Housewives and MORE! Make sure to subscribe so you’re notified of our return - Season 3 is coming to your ears soon!

A Bravo TV dream has come true for us because we have finally embarked on our Inaugural Bravo TV Food Tour - Atlanta Edition! We traveled around our home city to experience what the past and present Real Housewives of Atlanta have to offer, and...we have thoughts. Before we talk tastes, we discuss the week on Bravo TV. Zen Wen is fooling no one on Real Housewives of Potomac, and Ashley Darby is our MVP for being SO pregnant and still coming to work - and we thank you! Desmond experienced Hurricane Lexi on Below Deck Mediterranean and we still don't understand how Chef Mat is constantly surprised to learn he has to cook...which is his job, right? Real Housewives of New York continues to be Awkward City, and we have some ideas on why that might be... To be clear: This is a Kathy Hilton Stan podcast, so thank you Andy and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for allowing her into our lives and onto our screens. We continue to obsess over Family Karma - if you haven't watched, what are you waiting for?! The eye candy is more than enough and the content is GOLD. On to the food: We visited PJ's dad's restaurant, The Original Hot Dog factory, Auntie Kandi's flagship restaurant, Old Lady Gang, and Cynthia Bailey's Wine Cellar. And y'all...TV magic is real. Bon appetit!

It's time to head to Croatia, y'all! We are back this week and are introducing The Boy to Below Deck Mediterrean! Before we dive in - see what we did there? - we reminisce on our time in the virtual audience of Bravo TV's Watch What Happens Live and pray for the day we can make it to Mecca in person (call us, Andy!). After seeing Erika open up about her husband's legal issues on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we have some updated thoughts...and it's a billionaire rocketship showdown in America! Are Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos being good stewards of their money by indulging in this race to the edge of space? And does Desmond missing out on that Urban Outfitters track suit correlate to counting these billionaires' pockets?? On to the first few episodes of Below Deck Mediterranean: Do we miss Hannah Ferrier? Tremendously. Do we love to hate on who LP calls "The Rat Pack" for sending Hannah away from our televisions? Yes, forever. Does Chef Matt have the chops to stick it out in the galley? Hard no. Finally, we play a Watch What Happens Live inspired game called "What Would You Stew?" where we put The Boy into Below Deck scenarios of seasons past.

Happy Potomac Day! Finally the ladies of Potomac are back and we are more than ready to introduce The Boy to the gorgeous word on the street that is RHOP with friend of the podcast and self-proclaimed Real Housewives of Potomac superfan, Nicole! We give a sneak peek into our Bravo TV Atlanta Food Tour experience (hint: order takeout from OLG...) and catch up on Bravo TV news from the past couple of weeks. Southern Charm's Naomie Olinde suffers heartbreak at the discovery of Metul's inappropriate texts...HOW AND WHY, Metul?! LP sheds light on her very recent Bravolebrity encounter - turns out Charli Burnett from Vanderpump Rules is much more chill and carb-accepting than Bravo TV makes her out to be. After dishing on all the RHOP ladies' Love It or List It moves to nipple cupcakes to a Karen v. Gizelle fire starter, we are READY for this season, y'all! Finally, we have a 3-part St. Andy Award to give out. 

First and foremost: #FreeBritney. We believe women in any and all cases, so we hope and pray that she receives the freedom and justice she rightly deserves. On to shallower pastures: Before diving into RHONY, we share our Bravo TV hall passes and potential (cross every finger, knock on all the wood) Bravocon plans this fall. And since The Boy chose to head back East and catch up with the ladies of Real Housewives of New York, his wish was our command! After what felt like a million years in The Hamptons, the ladies find themselves back in the city just in time for the 2020 election (#BYEDON) where Eboni struggles to find common ground with Ramona, something we all take issue with. We get a little deeper than usual and discuss "all the race talk" on Bravo TV lately - we love it - and take a stab at the Eboni v. Bershan case that begins to unfold at Harlem Nights with Eboni K. Williams. Finally, it's game time! We pay homage to America's favorite late night talk show, Watch What Happens Live, and play "Who Has LP Met?!"

We are BACK, vaxxed, and a little hungover. LP joins us from the floor of the studio as we meet Family Karma this week! We discuss the goings-on in our worlds - Bert Weiss from our favorite morning radio show, The Bert Show's, jinx on Atlanta sports, Desmond being fully vaccinated, and LP's regrets from last night - and say a grateful goodbye to Kelly Dodd as the Real Housewives of Orange County attempt to regain their OG footing in the Bravo TV world. In Tea Time, we start our chat with Shahs of Sunset and beg to ask: At what point do you call a friendship quits? The Reza/MJ feud is getting a little tired and why the hell can't Mike keep his dool off of iMessage?! Finally, we talk about our possible new favorite show, Family Karma. We drool over the beauty of this cast and Desmond attempts to find nicknames that stick (Bruno Romeo Santos is definitely a winner). We end with our St. Andy Award where we give GG what she is owed!

This is a very special episode because we got to hang in the Zoom Room with Dominique and Kelly from the Bravo Group Chat Podcast! It was basically a Bravofan's dream come true to prove to The Boy that other Bravo TV fans do, in fact, exist. Brie and LP begin with a disucssion on recent Bravo TV news, like the Real Housewives of Orange County cast shake up (from all of our prayers to the Bravo TV gods' ears) and the instantly infamous The Housewife and The Hustler Hulu documentary. Then, we dive into literally all the Bravo TV things with Bravo Group Chat - from dishing on our true love for the beautiful cast of Family Karma to determining how to use "Stan" in grammatically correct form to The Boy shocking Bravo Group Chat with his top Bravolebrities, we "mention it all!" We end with our favorite thing, Game Time! 

Love is a strong word, but The Boy is getting there! This week, since LP is Summer House-ing for the week on the Jersey Shore, we take a visit to the East Coast and talk Real Housewives of New York and Part 2 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. We are both exhausted and thoroughly entertained by Sonjarita's Wells Fargo/JP Morgan Chase meltdown, and we wonder at what point might RHONY need a total shake up...? On the otherhand, while we can understand the big eye roll that is dealing with Ramona Lee Gifford, Mob Leah's vow of silence could really continue because the newbie we learned to love last season is really working our nerves at the moment. Over on RHONJ, we dissect the chauvinism disguised as "old school" mentality and get personal discussing our own sexual harrassment experiences in the workplace (someone forward this episode over to Teresa...). Finally, it's Game Time! We channel our inner Kathy Hilton and play Two Truths and a Lie, Bravo Style!

We'd like to begin with a direct quote from The Boy: "Summer House and Real Housewives of New Jersey are two shows that I will have to continue watching." WE HAVE A CONVERT! And while he wasn't super enthralled with the season premiere of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, veteran Bravo TV fans can see signs of a promising season, so we are staying optimistic. This week, we welcomed a friend of the podcast and special guest, Colin Hanks, to chat with us about both Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Real Housewives of New Jersey Part 1 reunion! We discuss Lisa Rinna somehow becoming a walking book of platitudes, Garcelle's sophomore season rise to Bravo TV fame, and Crystal Minkoff's breakout episode as a newbie of the cast. We also award the St. Andy award to the RHONJ cast member who put Kameron Westcott's little pink briefcase of receipts to shame...listen to why we believe Jennifer Aydin has made matriarch of RHONJ Teresa Guidice proud!

Is it the holidays because Bravo was the gift that kept on giving this week! From what may become the Real Housewives of Atlanta's saving grace to a weekend in the Hamptons with the ladies of RHONY, even The Boy is shook, y'all! We loved all of the Watch What Happens Live specials last week, however, first things first: Porsha, girl, what?! How did Simon go from a friend-of's older husband to your fiance and more importantly, WHY?! We break this conundrum down as best we can, so join us in the confusion! Later, we tried Million Dollar Listing New York, but *help us, we're poor* and couldn't quite get on board, so off we went to Burning Man in the Hamptons with the RHONY ladies! We applaud Ramona's current emotional restraint - doesn't she seem VERY polite, lately? - and continue to stan for our girl Eboni K. Williams who receives our St. Andy Award this week. 

We didn't cook or clean, but we definitely made it nice with our new friends and special guests, Terrence and Josh from Bravo Boyfriends! This week, we met in our Zoom Room as we broke down the long awaited Bravo TV premiere of the Real Housewives of New York! From Eboni K. Williams making the world immediately Stan for her #blackgirlmagic to Luann shamelessly hoping we'd believe she didn't know Tom lived across the way (girl...), we discuss it all! We have some questions about Leah's recent decision to convert to (Orthodox?!) Judaism as well as concerns about how Wharton awards credit to Sonjarita's interns. The Bravo Boyfriends rate the RHONY ladies' new taglines as a Bravo Top or Flop and they play "Desmond Taboo" as The Boy does what only he can do and describe the women of Bravo TV for the Boyfriends to try and guess. 

 We tried to step out of the safety out our shady tree but we immediately failed at being Top Chef watchers, BUT we have turned a corner, people! The Boy admits to loving Summer House! *cue heavens opening and angels singing* This week, Desmond reveals a change in feelings towards a Summer House cast member, LP feels lots of feels for Elliot Stabler’s return to the Law and Order family, and Brie wants to know if anyone used to record radio songs on their boom box? We are all confused with Drew Sidora’s take on fancy white elephant Friendsmas on the Real Housewives of Atlanta finale and have thoughts on what a cast shake up could look like in ATL. Finally, we hand the St. Andy Award to the giver of the world’s most awkward sex talk...you don’t want to miss this episode!

After a short break, we are back to the Bravo TV business! This week, Brie and LP recap the most recent week in Bravo TV, as well as all the hot Bravo goss that went down while they were on vacation. The Boy is SHOCKED that Jen Shah got arrested, and refuses to speak poorly on his self-proclaimed favorite housewife, and we've got some thoughts on Jax Taylor becoming a father... The Boy also takes a look at the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills trailer, and ... wait for it ... he's excited to watch! In Tea Time, we discuss Real Housewives of Dallas and Brandi's (surely) impending walk from the show, as well as Dr. Tiffany Moon's continuous perfection as she shows the ladies how to balance work and motherhood. Later, LP admits that she has been turned into a Summer House fan! Desmond thinks Luke was in the right in the ironic Kyle-Carl-Luke-producers-hold-me-back-almost-fight that went down in The Hamptons. Finally, it's game time! We each draft our Bravo Dream Team. Whose team would reign victorious on the field? You decide!

Time flies when you’re talking Bravo TV, and this Boy Meets Bravo Podcast Season 1 finale episode is all love! In honor of Brie and Desmond’s upcoming nuptials, we discuss our favorite Bravo TV couples. From Below Deck boatmances to Southern Charm dysfunction to the couple that dungeons together...we share our comprehensive list of Bravo TV’s best boos. Then, it’s game time! LP puts on her WWHL Clubhouse Game Maker hat and leads us in Double Date or No I Ain’t! and Bed, Wed, or Dead. Who is walking down the aisle and who gets the axe? Join us for a listen as we close out our inaugural season!

We tried…we really tried…but Married to Medicine is not for us. We are completely here for the strong Black women and men in Atlanta holding it down during the Covid pandemic and beyond, but we acknowledge our moral shortcomings and we need more drama! So this week, we travel back to Montauk to see what’s up with Bravo TV’s favorite roommates in Summer House because "Summer should be fun!" We give Lindsay Hubbard her props for having and keeping high relationship expectations for herself – fish and chips by the pool, Stravy? Really?! – and we talk about our own roommate pasts. Finally, a big congratulations are in order for Vanderpump Rules stars Lala Kent and Randall Emmett as this week’s St. Andy Award goes to Bravo TV’s newest baby love, Ocean Emmett! 

First and foremost: Happy Birthday to our forever queen and very favorite Bravo TV Housewife, Dolores Catania! On this episode of Boy Meets Bravo, we enter Kandi’s Dungeon, which somehow ended up as a Law and Order episode? After catching up on all the de-BACH-ery that was the latest episodes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, we unpack the reality tv gold that was #Bologate. We try and figure out Kenya Moore’s motives as she plays detective to find out what truly went down after the cameras went off during Cynthia Bailey’s bachelorette party. After taking a stab at creating our own dungeon names, we wonder whether the truce between Kenya and Marlo Hampton is the real thing and reminisce on famous Bravo TV show feuds through the years. Finally, we play a Boy Meets Bravo version of The Newlywed Game where The Boy describes Real Housewives so his fiancée can guess who based on his creative descriptions.

Our all-time favorite ladies are back and they do not disappoint! This week we welcome a friend and fellow Bravo TV fanatic, Colin Hanks, to chat it up about the Season 11 premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey! We review the iconic Bravo TV moments that New Jersey has blessed us with – “Prostitution whore?! Engaged 19 times?!” and “Your husband’s in the pool” – and frequently tap into our true love for Dolores Catania. We discover that The Boy is pretty unfazed by the idea of Jackie Goldschneider publicly exclaiming what she won’t do for her husband in the bedroom and he’s just as impressed by the first fight of the season. We agree that Teresa Giudice is throwing verbal hands, but we definitely think the The Real House Kids are off limits. Kandi Burruss’s dungeon party for Cynthia’s bachelorette night wins our St. Andy Award – Holy Bolo, Batman - as we prepare for a bachelorette weekend of our own!

Another week of Bravo TV is under The Boy's belt and we are so proud of his growing fandom! This week, we discuss Parts 1 and 2 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Reunion. Spoiler alert: The Boy still stans for Jen Shah but may actually be growing fond of Mary M. Cosby?! We discuss the Team Weather (Whitney + Heather) vs. Team Lisa drama, we somehow have even more questions about Mary M. Cosby's marital origin, and we try (and fail) to contain our excitement about the return of The Real Housewives of New Jersey!

What was Meredith Marks wearing on her face on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City finale show? Do Kyle Cook and Amanda Batula have a new addition in the family? Is Lindsey Hubbard's 3-year plan really all that outrageous? And who could even consider cheating on Jennifer Lopez?! Find out the answers to these questions and more as we recap this week in Bravo TV and introduce The Boy to Summer House! We virtually travel to Montauk, New York to join Bravo TV's favorite summer roommates as they quarantine together for 6 weeks this season (sounds like a disaster but also great TV so thanks, Andy Cohen).

The Boy took notes this week?! We introduce our newest Bravo TV fan to the world of reunion shows with The Real Housewives of Orange County, and we discuss reunion show highlights from past years. We then return to Salt Lake City to catch up on the *Queen* Jen Shah and Whitney Rose drama and the hosts disagree on whether Jen Shah reacted appropriately at Coach Shah's surprise hip hop birthday party. Ultimately, Coach Shah receives our St. Andy Award and we ask for help on what The Boy should watch next!

Another week, another reason to dive into Bravo TV! Both the hosts and The Boy dig in to the newest season of The Real Housewives of Dallas, which is relatively new to all of them. They discuss the newbie, Dr. Tiffany Moon (we very quickly stan), cancel culture in Bravonation (yes, we're looking at you, Pump Rules), and in honor of the Dallas housewives' get together, they play a game called Dimmy Sum of Them Questions!

The ladies convinced the Boy to indulge in another week of Bravo TV! This week, The Boy provides insight into his impressions of the ladies of our hometown, Atlanta! While he doesn’t quiet stan for Porsha like he does Jen Shah, the social justice warrior of the Real Housewives of Atlanta is a close second. The hosts discuss weddings in the time of Covid-19, Ralph’s marital shortcomings, and award the St. Andy Award to Bravo TV's social justice queen! 

Welcome fellow (and future) Bravo TV fans! In the inaugural episode of Boy Meets Bravo, the ladies determine what the Boy already knows about Bravo TV and introduce him to the newest (dare we say...the best?!) housewives installment in Salt Lake City, Utah. As they break down their views of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, the hosts discuss Jen Shah's obvious queendom, question why Mary M. Cosby keeps shoes in her Birkins (among other things), and award the first St. Andy Award of the season!
