Emily and Lauren kick off their brand-new pop culture pod the world didn’t know it needed. Broadcasting straight from the heartland with their cornfed commentary and Midwestern POV, they dive into all things BravoCon 2025, discuss Vicki finally getting her orange back, the Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Shep’s embarrassing casino meltdown, break down the chaos in Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, chat Whitney Leavitt and Selling Sunset drama, and cover so much more.
Every girl needs a bestie, and we’re gonna be yours!
