Get ready for laughs, real talk, and a whole lotta gratitude as Honey dishes out wisdom for aspiring queens and anyone craving a glow-up. This episode is pure drag royalty, darling.

Amir & Monica are back in The Vault to break down the juicy premiere of Real Housewives of Orange County Season 19—and let’s just say, the drama didn’t wait for a mid-season build. They dive into Katie’s transformation from misunderstood underdog to full-blown villain, Tamara’s unexpected therapy journey (is it autism or storyline bait?), and Emily’s aggressive Ozempic-fueled arc. The duo debates whether Gina and Travis’s reconciliation feels real or reality-TV forced, and why authenticity is harder to find than a sober housewife in Orange County. Plus, they spill some behind-the-scenes tea on Katie’s off-camera chaos, her strained ties with podcasters, and why she might not make it to Season 20. Grab your champs—RHOC is back

and messy as ever.

Buckle up, peaches — Amir & Monica are back in The Vault for the Season 16 finale of Real Housewives of Atlanta, and chile, the drama is piping hot! 🍑

Mr. Marcus is out here tossing accusations at Phaedra like confetti, and your fave hosts are calling BS — is he shady or just thirsty for camera time? Meanwhile, Porsha’s navigating real grief over her cousin’s passing, Shamea’s throwing a concert (and questionable fashion choices) that would make a Bluetooth headset wearing uncle proud, and Brit’s backstage beef with Shamea is messier than a spilled wig glue.

They’re giving the finale a solid 9.5/10 for entertainment — even if some of these ladies need a stylist, a truth serum, or both.

Tune in for shady side-eyes, savage fashion reads, and plenty of speculation on who’s coming back for Season 17. The peaches may be bruised…but they’re never boring.

This week on The Vault, Amir & Monica sit down with legendary comedian Maz Jobrani for a raw and thought-provoking conversation that blends laughter with life lessons. Maz takes us through his journey from aspiring Eddie Murphy superfan to one of the first Iranian-American voices in mainstream comedy — all while dodging his parents’ dreams of him becoming a lawyer.

From the groundbreaking Axis of Evil Comedy Tour to crowd work horror stories and heckler comebacks, Maz brings the truth about being Middle Eastern in comedy, tackling political hot buttons, and pushing past stereotypes. He also gets candid about the emotional toll of life as a comic, the realities of addiction and depression in the industry, and the healing power of laughter — especially when it’s rooted in your own story.

Whether you’re a comedy nerd, first-gen kid, or just someone who loves a good underdog hustle, this episode is packed with wisdom, wit, and the kind of vulnerability that makes Maz a true icon.

This week on The Vault, Amir & Monica welcome the brilliant, bold, and refreshingly honest Tituss Burgess for a masterclass in perseverance, purpose, and pure talent. From earning his equity card at Disney World to lighting up Broadway and stealing scenes on 30 Rock, Tituss shares the highs, the heartbreaking lows — including eviction notices and career doubts — and the divine intervention that led him to the iconic role of Titus Andromedon on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

He doesn’t believe in imposter syndrome, and how to navigate the politics of Hollywood, and why living outside the LA bubble keeps him sane. Tituss gets real about the hustle of voice acting (spoiler: it’s not as glamorous as it looks), the reality of making money in entertainment, and why multiple income streams are a must.

We also hear his take on the social media-to-stardom pipeline, what it’s like working with legends like Tina Fey and Eddie Murphy, and how staying spiritually grounded has been his superpower. And he has made up with Andy Cohen! This episode is raw, reflective, and filled with the kind of hard-won wisdom that can only come from someone who’s truly done the work — onstage and off.

Amir & Monica are back, dragging the Met Gala for losing its fashion crown—because if Rosa Parks ends up on underwear, the theme has clearly gone off the rails. From Nicki and Rihanna’s slay to Megan Thee Stallion’s off-theme outfit, nothing is safe.

Angela emerges as the voice of reason (and shade), while Shamea plays team Porsha with zero maturity. We’re breaking down prophets, fake apologies, and why Brit’s husband looked more bored than betrayed. Plus, a little side-eye for Love Hotel and a sprinkle of praise for Basketball Wives. Grab your sweet tea—this one’s spicy.
