Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by friend of show Teddi Mellencamp to dive into all things pop culture and reality TV - we first get her thoughts on the four-part Rachel Leviss podcast with Bethenny Frankel. We also talk about Scooter Braun being dropped by his largest clients, Taylor Swift and her impersonator both creating chaos, and Ariana Grande releasing new music. We then have a Texting Office Hours caller who is a new mom and struggling to establish boundaries with one of her friends, who continues to grab, hold, and feed her baby without her permission.

“This was a W for Bethenny and an L for Rachel.”
