Coffee Cups and Porn Classmates

Do you believe Teresa Giudice’s table flip is just as iconic as a Sopranos beatdown? Did you Kim-Kardashian-ugly-cry when Angela and Michael finally tied the knot on 90 Day? You’re not alone, the messy women of reality television have made us feel seen!

They get into reality-related breaking news, and occasionally try to solve the genre’s greatest mysteries, like what exactly did Juan Pablo say to Andi in the fantasy suite? Then they bring on a special guest to do a deep dive into their favorite show from the past or present - everything from classics like The Hills to hidden gems like Too Hot to Handle.
