Ep. 98 - "6 Angry Housewives" - RHOSLC Episode 11 Recap with Angela Von Hatten
Note: apologies for the audio issues with Lauren's track in this episode!Lauren has the pleasure of learning from a guest teacher on this episode, the wonderful Angela Von Hatten from Wonderful Garbage Podcast.They deep dive into the psyches of our favorite Bad Mormons and delight in another banger Mary luncheon!After seeing the holes in the prosecution's case (Lisa pretending to listen to Kendrick Lamar at customs and no one remembering the end of Crazy Rich Asians), we, like the SLC ladies, are forced to rule in favor of the defendant- although there is some dissent over whether Meredith has met the terms of her punishment by delivering her half-assed apology to Brittany at the end of the episode.And both manifest that we will ultimately get footage of the event in question at the reunion.Then, Lauren and Angela make a strong pro-Bronwyn case, though the jury is still out if Bron will be able to form deeper bonds with the tight-knit cast in her next season when her personal life isn't in utter turmoil;They lightly muse on the curious nature of Mary's riches, and Angela has excellent business pitches for both Heather Gay and Whitney the Wild Rose. All this and some Love Island chat, teasing upcoming collabs, and more!Follow Angela @itswonderfulgarbage on Tiktok and IG, and catch up on old Wonderful Garbage episodes in anticipation of their return in 2026!

Ep. 92- "The Hoedown and The Cactus Stroker" - RHOC Episode 14 & RHOSLC Episode 4 Recaps
Lauren and Michele recap OC and are delighted by the slo-mo return of our flop queen Katie!We plow through Gretchen and Tamra whining, Shannon making the pet psychic work for her coin, and Emily promoting her non-profit to get to our girl's scene with Tamra!Then, its the Hoedown Showdown, where Slade tries to confront Tamra for camera time and she teleports out of the building- relatable reaction.Next, it's another banger episode for SLC, which is really firing on all cylinders. Everyone is firing insults and insanity on all cylinders are usual, but are also taking their time and actually getting to the bottom of the 100 insane accusations we get per episode.Like Lisa accused Angie of... having a credit card? Why is that bad? What does that mean?Are the ladies at their peak performance thus far? We think so, and we have a lot of Freudian analysis on why Brittany can't stop stroking that cactus.

Ep. 89- "From Gout Flare-Ups to Boy Band Blowups": RHOC & RHOSLC Recaps
Michele and Lauren recap SLC where Lisa threw shade and cried, Angie called out Browyn for being a no good gout dick sucker and we go to a daytime brunch in full evening gowns. On OCTamra lost it over boy band rumors and stormed out like it was her side hustle. Jenn tried to act calm, but chaos won anyway. Between facelifts, lawsuits, and meltdowns, both shows proved Housewives never take a day off. Basically, drama: 2, sanity: 0.
