Toxic Waste of Time
Your two smartass aunts, Ivy Hensley and Katie Boothe, unscientifically analyze toxicity in every relationship. What do you need to detox from?
Have you ever reflected on your relationships and wondered - Is this toxic? Sure, many of us have experienced toxic friendships, romantic relationships, or family members. But what about your relationship between you and your phone? You and your favorite Pop Star? The relationship between your cat and that one blue jay who won't stop dive-bombing him in the back yard? (That one's probably toxic.)

Reality Check: The Toxicity and Exploitation of Reality TV
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome aboard the most dramatic detox yet! This week, we dive overboard into the wild waters of reality TV. From Below Deck to Real Housewives, we’re spilling the unscripted tea on who’s leading, who’s losing it, and who’s lurking behind the scenes pulling the strings (cough Andy Cohen cough).
We’ll break down the birth of reality television, the boss dynamics you didn’t know you were watching, and the shady producer tricks that keep the chaos rolling—often at the expense of the cast’s mental health. Spoiler alert: when the cameras stop rolling, the manipulation doesn’t.
Whether you're a Bravo-holic or a casual hate-watcher, this episode is your backstage pass to the toxic power plays behind your favorite guilty pleasures.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: exploitation, alchohol abuse, s*xual misconduct, r*pe, injury
