Boy Meets Bravo

The Boy and LP take the reins this episode and play an impromptu game of "Everybody Knows" as we wax nostalgic after watching the Quiet on Set document, gush over all things Cowboy Carter, and give flowers to the NCAA Womens' Basketball Queens. Next: Preston for President! We are LOVING Summer House Martha's Vineyard. It's giving Black excellence. It's giving drama. It's giving a home and cast glow up that we're obsessed with. Keep it coming!

We head to the Hamptons this week and have lots to discuss! West and Jesse Solomon have claimed our hearts and Paige and Craig continue to be #couplegoals (but you can pay for our rent, Craig!). We're torn on whether they ship Ciara and West - take our Spotify poll to tell us where you stand - and is Kyle too old for the share house??

We are shocked the internet isn't broken because Bravo TV news is BREAKING! We had so much to cover this episode that we brought in reinforcements with our podcast besties Josh and Terrence from Bravo Boyfriends podcast! We cover the latest allegations against our very own St. Andy Cohen, Rachel Leviss's lawsuit against Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval, the accidental Real Housewives of Atlanta shake up, and more!

Take a trip down memory lane on the first anniversary of #SCANDOVAL!

2023 St. Andy Award winners for Best Dressed, the Southern Charm cast is back for their reunion show! The Boy stands up for Shep amid is mid-life crisis, er, vulnerable moment, Olivia's deepest, darkest secret is revealed (BARF), and JT tries...he really tries, y'all. And Sam Feher claims this week's St. Andy Award!

The reunion we've all been waiting for since that ICONIC scene on the beach in Barbados has dropped! This week we discuss all things Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Reunion Part 1! Who IS Monica? Who IS RealityVonTease? Who REALLY gave Heather the black eye? The boy has some thoughts...

In this concluding episode of 2023, join us as we celebrate the year's highlights and unveil our final awards. With the OG BMB 3, we dive into a throwback episode of The Millionaire Matchmaker, featuring former NFL star Marcellus Wiley, and delve into the latest drama surrounding Shannon Beador. Stay tuned as we revisit a previously awarded category from the last episode!

The 3rd Annual St. Andy's are here! Stephanie from the Mocha Minutes Podcast stopped by to help the group gives out this year's awards. Before the awards are presented, LP has an axe to grind with the United States Postal Service. They also discuss the latest news surrounding Kim and Kroy, OnlyFans and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (get 'em, Erika!), the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip drama.

It. All. HAPPENED!! Our BMB Baby and 4th tiny co-host has made her way into the world along with Kate Chastain's Bravo Baby - yay for us! And BravoCon Take 2 news has dropped! We've secured a babysitter and are heading to Vegas, baby. Our girl Eboni K. Williams has been trending in the news and we catch The Boy up on #Scandoval. Our baby-themed episode continues with a current RHONJ update and a throwback to Season 2 where Teresa gives birth to sweet Audriana...a labor and delivery experience MUCH different than Brie's. And a very, very special game time...on Part 2!

Another week of Bravo TV, and Happy Trumpito Day! We start this week's episode off with a congratulatory virtual cheers at the news of a Trump indictment - congrats, America - and an update on #SCANDOVAL...oddly kind of the same level of ick. And then The Boy Meets Real Housewives Ultimate Girl Trip 3 all the way in Phuket, Thailand! Anyone else wonder how Vicki Gunvalson took it knowing Peacock increased their RHUGT budget by at least 600% since the Berkshires trip? We learn that RHUGT 3 resulted in a change in The Boy's Top Housewives List - way to get up there, Candiace! - and we discuss Gizelle's unreasonable shadiness as well as all of the residual angst coming off of recently filmed seasons of Real Housewives of Potomac and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Finally, we've got a St. Andy Award to give out! Hint: Pepsi '24.

Another day, another Scandoval update before we introduce The Boy to the Real Housewives of Miami Season 5 Reunion! He recaps the season based on maybe 90 minutes worth of watch time (don't worry, we fill in the gaps), we determine which of Larsa's lies are truths (fun fact: none), Ariana's new hit is added to The Boy's playlist (it's on fiyah, if you will), and the Give Marysol a Peach campaign begins! We've also got a St. Andy Award to give out; here's a hint: O Captain, My Captain!

We're here for the same reason every other Bravo TV podcast held an emergency recording session last week...the #SCANDOVAL of it all.

As a podcaster, when you get to fan girl/boy over your radio role models...it's a good day. This week, we welcomed fellow ATLien, comedian, and host of Davi the Scapegoat Podcast Davi Crimmins to the BMB Zoom Room! We catch up on her current goings on - starting her own podcast, gearing up for her comedy tour - and then Davi Meets Bravo TV! We get Davi's take on current Bravo TV drama with some real scenarios (that may feel like fiction) and play "I Hate That Guy! or I'd Date That Guy!"

We're taking it WAY back for our very first From the Vault episode! We introduced The Boy to Real Housewives of Potomac Season 1, Episode 1! This was a fun one as we got to revisit our girl Katie Rost, the OG Grand Dame Charrisse Jordan, and remembered 27-year-old Ashley (formerly) Darby! Join us on this blast to the past and let us know what you want us to check out next!  

We hopped back into the BMB Zoom Room early when Jen Shah's sentencing finally occurred...and yes, The Boy is mourning. Is Jen Shah really the ultimate villain or is she just a cog in the machine? We *mention it all* and play a Shahmazing game of Chopped!

Happy New Year! We've got a Baby Bite of BMB full of all. the. Shahmazing. things. coming your way, so join us as we catch up after the holidays as Desmond becomes America's Top Bravo Insider - Rinna's RHOBH exit, Jason from Winter House caught on a potential date with Gizelle Bryant, RHONY Legacy - to keep us from the real tea. 

The Second Annual St. Andy Awards are here!! And please be warned: The winners are totally subjective, so take it up with management, y'all. But first...

Part 2: Jenny Blaze from Bravo and Blaze joins us as we recall our respective BravoCon experiences, our thoughts on the new additions to Winter House (see: The Girl Who Expects Compliments + did Jason invite Jenny to the Winter House?!), and do some preliminary judgements on the newest crew to Bravo from Southern Hospitality (Pump Rules but makin' it Gen Z). Finally, who ACTUALLY gave Heather Gay her black eye??

And the categories for the 2022 St. Andy Awards are...

Part 1: Dynamic Duo | Cutest Couple | Andy's Pet | Miss Bravo TV | Bravo MVP

Part 2: Best Side Hustle | Moment of the Year | Best Overall Franchise | Rookie of the Year | The Boy's Choice

Our guest:

The Second Annual St. Andy Awards are here!! And please be warned: The winners are totally subjective, so take it up with management, y'all. But first...

Part 1: With besties of the pod, Jost & Terrence from Bravo Boyfriends and Nyemade Boiwu from Bold, Black, and Addicted to Bravo, we touch on highlights from Below Deck (saying a temporary farewell to our forever Captain Lee), Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (Desmond's Shah Squad leadership remains intact), Real Housewives of Potomac (peak Housewives!), and Family Karma (increase that marketing budget, Andy!).

And the categories for the 2022 St. Andy Awards are...

Part 1: Dynamic Duo | Cutest Couple | Andy's Pet | Miss Bravo TV | Bravo MVP

Part 2: Best Side Hustle | Moment of the Year | Best Overall Franchise | Rookie of the Year | The Boy's Choice

Our guests: 

Part 1: Crazy. Surreal. BANOODLES. These are just a few words we use to describe our trip to Mecca...we went to BravoCon and nothing will ever be the same. Before we rehash the best weekend of our lives, Desmond solidified himself as leader of the #ShahSquad after a BIG Instagram follower joined his personal page, we dissect Eboni K. Williams's completely justified read of The Singer Stinger, and get ready to introduce our baby GIRL to the world of Bravo! 

Now, BravoCon highlights: NYC traffic interactions are terrifying, we continue to do the tough journalism work and ask Hubb House and Ciara the hard-hitting Austen Kroll question of the century, RHOA delivered with a side of Bolo stick, and Desmond is down to return if the bar is open at 9 AM again! 

We're bringing a baby... to BravoCon?! You heard it here first, y'all: BMB Baby headed our way in Spring (Summer, September...?) 2023! So...we'll be going on break in approximately 6 months, but until then, we're psyched to hit NYC and meet some of our podcasting BFFs and Bravolebrity faves at BravoCon! LP is crafting us the most ideal Saturday schedule, we're hitting a Bravo happy hour with fellow content creators, and Desmond is prepping his opening line for when he hopefully meets RHOA's Kenya Moore. During Tea Time - not to be confused with British Tea Time - we head back to our Season 1 roots with the ladies of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City! The Boy still heads up the ATL Division of The Shah Squad, we're surprised by the alliance shifts (bad weather coming through!), but do we miss Mary M. Cosby? Finally, The Boy shows off his RHOSLC knowledge in a game of "Who Said That?!" Check out Chiks n' Flicks anywhere you get your podcasts! And if you like what you hear, please subscribe, give us 5 stars, and leave a review! 

St. Andy answered our prayers because the one and only Real Housewife of Dallas that we want back on our television screens, Dr. Tiffany Moon, is in the BMB Zoom Room! We catch up with Dr. Moon and get the scoop on her busy life since we've seen her on RHOD, from mommying to doctoring to comedian...ing?! You know she does it all! ALSO, move aside Karen Huger because medical-themed candles anyone?! Check out Aromasthesia by Dr. Tiffany Moon for your household smell good needs! Finally, Dr. Moon spills all the tea with us: she reveals if she is still in contact with any of her former cast members, the one item in her closet that she loves the most but is also secretly ashamed of, and what it would take to get her back on Bravo TV (Andy Cohen, you know Married to Medicine Dallas is MADE FOR HER!).  

As we surmise the details of BravoCon beyond the Bravolebrity list, we get to break the news to The Boy that 3LW & her husband (the Gorgas) did not, in fact, attend the Jersey wedding of the century! Meanwhile on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, art imitates life as Covid quarantines the housewives in waves. The Boy turns on Fancy & we are still Sluttin’ for Sutton. We pick up on Kyle’s secret Executive Producer title - you tried, but we see you, girl - and are impressed by Erika pulling some Rinna Hustle with her many revenue streams during these *unprecedented* & broke times. 

WE ARE GOING TO BRAVOCON! We're coming home, Andy!! And no idea how we forgot about this, but we got tickets to see Sonja in our city! RHONY's Sonjarita put on quite the show in our hometown of Atlanta with local drag queens, audience participation, and more fun than Austen and Craig would know what to do with on their live tour (sorry, not even a little bit sorry). This episode, we set our eyes on Blue Stone Manor where Dorinda continually tries - and fails - to Make It Nice...yikes. As ATLiens, we were thrilled to have a Phaedra redemption season and did Eva top Paige DeSorbo on The Boy's Top Bravo Queen spot?? We classify Jill as a (SURPRISE!) take it or leave it cast member but Dorinda needs to be on Andy's television forever. Finally, Desmond practices his Calm App Story Time audition and we give an impromptu St. Andy Award! 

After we lust over Christopher Meloni's naked Peloton ad (Thank you, thank you, thank you, Peloton!), we confront The Boy about the recent news of his first Bravo TV love's self-proclaimed guilt in the court of law...Jen Shah is guilty and he cannot escape this truth! But good news: our Bravocon hotel is BOOKED! Bad news: 3-day ticket prices to Bravocon. That's it. That's the tweet. ANYWAYS, Southern Charm is back with a few familiar faces and a handful of newbies to shake things up (for better or for worse). We debate Chleb's actions prior to his breakup with Kathryn, we wonder if Naomi’s voice overs give Southern Charm a Gossip Girl vibe, and are we *gulp* Team Shep?! Finally, The Boy casts Southern Charm: Atlanta! 

Who's booked their Bravocon hotel because we want to do hoodrat stuff with our friends! After spending 30 minutes of pre-production finding the perfect walking distance dwellings near the Javits Center, Desmond brings his most important Bravo News and LP details the most awkward lunch conversation of her adult life. Brie falls back into the Below Deck universe (thank you, Aesha) and we try and fail to understand Diana Jenkins's social media downfall. But onto Bravo TV's most beautiful newbies, the ladies of Real Housewives of Dubai! Keep the goats, Chanel Ayan, but also here's your Reality TV Emmy after only the season premiere. LP gets Big Stalker Energy from Caroline Brooks, we want to snatch center peach from Caroline Stanbury, and Phaedra, girl, what are you doing in Dubai?? Finally, we've got a St. Andy to give out that goes beyond the Bravo TV universe and hits close to home for us.

 Another week of Bravo! And we have returned from our trip to Cali to discuss our favorite ladies in Cali with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 12 premiere! And before we head to Californiaaaaa, we give you the scoop on LP and Brie's midweek trip to Austen & Craig's Pillows and Beer Live Show when they came to Atlanta! Spoiler alert: We didn't have enough content to make a whole episode out of it, so there's that. BUT LP did get to ask Austen a live question and you'll want to stick around to hear it (NSFW!). Real Housewives of Beverly Hills starts with the biggest news we fans discovered while they filmed: Dorit's home invasion. This is obviously traumatic and we are so glad she and her family are well. But happy birthday to Harry Hamlin! Sorry your birthday dinner went left in what seems to be the theme of this season: Sutton Stracke v. Everybody. We meet Diana Jenkins, a very rich bitch and Erika's hopeful new BFF, and Desmond - our resident Bravo Insider - forgot Crystal was even on the show...if she's never trending on Twitter, that's a problem. This week, The Boy is in charge of Game Time as we play "Desmond's Descriptions."

We are back with Part 2 of our RHOA Season Premiere recap with our good friend Nela from Fix My Life Podcast! Brie made a major mistake last episode and forgot to mention what we've all been waiting for our (hyperbolic) literal whole lives: the return of BRAVOCON! We hope to see you all in NYC in October!! You can find The Boy wherever Kenya is, probably. And for the meat of the episode, our hometown peaches are BACK and we can't get enough of it all! Our favorite bone collector is back - hey, Sheree! - and Marlo has her peach! Sonya and her family can stay as long as they'd like if it's up to us, and Nela thinks the premiere episode might need to be named "Everybody Hates Drew." We get some tea about Marlo's billionaire sugar daddy and The Boy and Nela discuss whether any attractive billionaires actually exist. Finally, Nela gives us an exclusive tarot reading!

It's the BEST DAY because friend of the pod and fellow Bravo lover, Nela from Fix My Life Podcast, joins us in the BMB Zoom Room! If a podcast could be action-packed, this one is because we had to publish in two parts! In Part 1, we *mention it all* as far as Bravo TV is concerned. LP finds a fellow Below Deck fan (#captainleeforlife), we learn about Jen Shah's Trump University background(?!), The Boy is schooled on the OGs of the OCs and the Housewives origin story, AND Nela drops some bombs about the Manzo's alleged mobster ties! It's a wild ride - join us! 

Life be lifin', y'all! We are back with the OG BMB crew and in our hometown of ATL as we dive into new Bravo TV favorite Kandi & the Gang! The dysfunction is hot in that kitchen and we thank Auntie Kandi & Uncle Todd for it all. Before we discuss ATL's VPR, we talk about our current podcast obsessions - a little bit of 2 Teas in a Pod and a whole lot of Crime Junkie. Brie & LP landed *free* Pillows and Beer Live Tour tickets, so it's investigative date night! We will circle back with our findings...but on to Kandi & the Gang. We quickly agree that we could not employ family members unless we were rich enough to gamble with business success, but if the food is food (and it is, we've tried it) and business seems to be booming, more power to the Old Lady Gang! And finally, we've got a St. Andy Award to hand out to the man, the myth, the BEAT LEGEND Brian Redmond himself!

We found another Boy to meet Bravo! This week, The Boy finds camaraderie in another boy whose fiancee is a friend of the pod, Bravo IG group chat member, and fellow Bravo TV superfan! Brittany and Monty join us to talk all things Bravo TV - from our reactions to the RHONY 2.0 news to Monty's precious Teresa Giudice impression, we *mention it all*! Summer House had an Emmy Award-winning episode that we had to discuss, so we break it down in the BMB Zoom Room. In a Summer House fight, do we want Paige or Danielle to have our backs? Did Ciara look desperate when Austen "Woody from Toy Story" Kroll comes tearing the Summer House family apart for Hubb House's birthday? Did we miss having ZERO Kymanda drama?! And finally, our BMB Game Master LP leads the two couples in a game of We Stan or No Ma'am!

Bienvenidos a Miami, mi gente! We are thrilled to be back in Coral Gables with the Real Housewives of Miami in The House That Elsa Built (may she rest in peace). And we've got a friend of the podcast, Veronica, joining us for the first time in the BMB Zoom Room! Veronica was anti-Bravo TV until she accidentally watched RHOA from Season 1 to present in a week...happens to the best of us. The Boy admittedly loved him some RHOMiami this week! He was already a fan of Larsa('s ass) and we certainly were glad to have all of Alexia's telenovela lifestyle back on our screens via Peacock (just take our money forever at this point). While we couldn't agree on a rating for this comeback season, we did agree that Marysol deserves a peach, Andy! And Tea Time takes a sharp left turn...something about a ball in a Cuban shaft?? We've got a St. Andy to give out, too! 

This week, Simone & Erin from Bravo's Housevibes Podcast join us in the BMB Zoom Room! We bond over our obvious love of Bravo TV while accidentally deep diving into reality tv past (Style Network, anyone?). The Boy and Simone go down a Kanye rabbit hole (RIP 2008 Kanye) and LP tries to convince us all that Below Deck is worth the hype. As Real Housewives of Salt Lake City winds down in the Season 2 finale, we all admit a deep, dark secret...we're going to miss Mary M. Cosby. And while The Boy continues to Stan for his girl, Jen Shah, we wonder if RHOSLC peaked in its sophomore season and we slam the door on Jennie Nguyen who ended the season in a way that really makes just so much sense now. We end with a game brought to us by our resident gamemaster: Would You Rather?!

This week was the BEST because we had Bravo podcast favorites of ours, Donny and Quin from Know That Podcast, in the BMB Zoom Room to chat about all the Bravo TV things this week! We discovered our shared love for Summer House while trying to convince The Boy that his dog Detective Benson needs a Detective Stabler buddy. #peerpressure  On to the Real Housewives of New Jersey where we had several questions: Does RHONJ need new blood and should Bravo TV bring Snookie in to shake things up? Will the Melissa/Teresa family feud ever end (short answer: no)? Will America get another montage of the Giudice home before the girls move in with Red Flag Luis? And why, Jennifer Aydin's plastic surgeon, why??  Finally, we round out the episode with a St. Andy Award that is long overdue!  

The gang plus some new attractive friends are back in Montauk and all is right in our world! The Boy admittedly loves him some Summer House - could it be all of the gorgeous women running around in bikinis? *ding ding ding* - and he has lots of thoughts this week! Somehow, everyone seems to have had a glow up and Sober Carl is truly the best Carl. We've got a new meathead on the block - here's looking at you, Alex - and Summer Kyle is back in full force..and it's not a fun time. We will never understand the Kymanda unofficial official alcoholic pre-marital contract(?) and can ANYONE understand how Paige could choose Craig over our Italian angel Andrea?? Before we give out this week's St. Andy, motion to find the broad who kicked Andrea in the face! We are ready to get our Liam Neeson on, broad.

Happy 2022, fam!! This week, we catch up on all things Bravo TV - from Below Deck's Maury Moment (Jean Luc, you ARE the father!) to finding the most random content (Lunchtime by Bravo?). Nonetheless...we Stan. Someone we no longer Stan is Jennie Nguyen from RHOSLC who took zero accountability for her racist social media posts and was swiftly fired from her franchise. So, we would like to formally rescind her 2021 Rookie of the Year St. Andy Award. Sorry, not sorry. But this week, The Boy Meets Porsha's Family Matters! We hop down to the beaches of Mexico - where we would have attended Lauren's many meditation sessions, good job, girl - and discuss the confusing train wreck that is Porsha's hopeful blended family. Besides the Simon of it all, we can't imagine taking a vacation like this one, Bravo-funded or not.

Our last St. Andy Awards bonus episode is one of our favorites of 2021 because Big Frank Catania from Bravo TV's Real Housewives of New Jersey joined us in the BMB Zoom Room! He fills us in on the status of his kids, Dolores, and the family's NINE dogs, we get some insight on the shenanigans between the other Househusbands of New Jersey, and Frank accepts our invitation to Atlanta. The theme of his visit: areolas and lips. You don't want to miss this one!

The Boy is officially inducted into the Bravo TV Fan Family because he was in the presence of reality tv greatness! We were so blessed and excited to welcome St. Andy Awards winners and Real Housewives of New Jersey favorites Margaret Josephs. Joe Benigno, and Marge Sr. to the studio this week! In this very special bonus episode, we get all the scoop on the true bromance that is the real Househusbands of New Jersey, how Margaret got involved in RHONJ, and the strangest place Marge Sr. had sex?! You don't want to miss this fun time! Enjoy!

⭐Rookie of the Year

⭐Cutest Couple

⭐Andy's Pet

⭐Bravo TV Mom of the Year

We have a supersized season finale and end of 2021 episode this week! In Part One, we welcome some of our favorite friends of the podcast and fellow Bravo TV fanatics to the Zoom Room: Colin Hanks, Nicole, and Josh & Terrence from Bravo Boyfriends Podcast! We had lots of highs and lows this year on Bravo TV, with all of the court-related dramas topping both of those respective lists. From Erika Jayne Girardi's alleged knowledge of her husband's thievery to Jen Shah's alleged fraudulent behavior, the tea has stayed PIPING hot. And even though The Boy is the sole traveler on the Shah Squad train, we can all agree that Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip should definitely be Ramona Singer's swan song (bye wig!) and we lament the way Cynthia is leaving Bravo TV with her woeful experience on RHUGT. Also, we have conflicting emotions about Nene's new relationship status! Is OG House Husband Gregg's passing too close or did she fulfill her "till death do us part" vows? Join us for our end of year Bravo kiki!
