3 Days of BravoCon in 60 Minutes – LVP, Tom Sandoval, Summer House & More
Three days of BravoCon in Vegas distilled into one hour. Ariana and Renee talk about crossing paths with Lisa Vanderpump, and unexpected run-in with Tom Sandoval, and the Summer House excitement that kept following them around. Recording straight from their Bellagio bed, the girls unpack what BravoCon felt like from the inside: the energy on day one, the encounters that shifted their perspective, a night out that escalated fast, and why seeing certain Bravolebs in person completely changed the way they watch their shows. They also get into the panels that delivered, the franchises that surprised them, the merch they couldn’t leave without, and the spontaneous idea that might shape future episodes. It’s messy, warm, and very much a love letter to Bravo fans who know the ecosystem too well. Timestamps: 00:00 – Welcome from the Bellagio & how BravoCon hit differently this year 05:00 – Early impressions, first encounters & the fan-to-Bravoleb energy shift 12:00 – A dinner moment featuring one very iconic Housewife 16:00 – A night out in Vegas that became the centerpiece of the trip 22:00 – Bravolebs IRL: who surprised them and what felt unexpected 30:00 – Panels, sneak peeks & the franchises with real momentum 38:00 – Final-day highlights & the conversations that stuck with them 44:00 – Merch, memories & the spark of a new Friend Of idea 47:00 – Final reflections before their last Vegas dinner Friend Of is proudly presented by Hayu, the home of reality TV.

Deleted Photos, Kids Named Slim Easy & Angie vs. Everyone
Today the girls are breaking down the Kardashian birthday fallout, RHOSLC chaos, and the pop-culture whiplash of the week. Nothing's off limits from Kris Jenner’s ultra-produced party (and the mysteriously deleted Harry & Meghan photos) to the alleged Bruno-Mars-price-tag discourse, the girls spiral through celebrity optics before settling into Bravocon prep, millennial-nostalgia TV rewatches, and influencer-world absurdities.

RHOL’s Nessie & Juliet on Season One, Global Fandom & Mum Life
RHOL’s Nessie & Juliet join us to unpack S1: what surprised them watching it back, the fan hellos from around the world and how mum life looks when the cameras are up. Nessie and Juliet reflect on their first year as Housewives — the watch-back realizations, what felt different once the full story aired, and how they’re processing it now. They share the sweetest recognition moments (from London streets to global DMs) and what international fandom has meant IRL. Then it’s motherhood on TV: staying grounded for their kids, school-run reality versus glam, and the boundaries that keep family first — plus the one piece of advice they’d give any future London Housewife: be yourself…and buckle up.
