Kiki and Kibbitz

It’s our last podcast of 2020, so, bottoms up, kids! On this charter, the guests are a cross between the Lucky Charms leprechaun and Rainbow Brite, once again proving that money can’t buy you class. That said, they might not be as entitled as Elizabeth, who finds “work” an imposition on her aspirations towards enlightenment or James, who thinks “taking work seriously” is a sign of poor character. That is why they call it “work,” children. But who cares—here comes Rob, who’s not only hot, but a brainiac, to boot. He comes from a long line of pirates and hookers…who could ask for more than that? Maybe in 30 years he’ll attain Captain Lee status (as IF that’s possible). Happy New Year, everyone—may 2021 be a year where no one ever comes armed with only one bottle of rosé, where we can once again travel freely, and where pandemics are just a thing you read about in the history books.

The hilarity level stays high in this episode (we’re still so grateful The Other Way is over — so depressing!) with three beautiful Eastern European girls suffering intense culture shock. Julia is stunned that Brandon’s mommy wants to spend every waking minute with them and interrupt what could be a promising bang trip. Yara does not want to stay in the bayou with her swamp boyfriend and thinks his mom’s fricassée (which looks delicious) doesn’t have tasty flavors. Jovi demands to stay at mom’s overnight…probably because he wants to get drunk and not drive home. Natalie is terrified of how dark it is on the way to Squim and finds his house cold and dirty (and appears frightened of his cat). Hazel is also overwhelmed by Tariq’s big house, which he thinks is clean, but has half-eaten food in the kitchen and clutter everywhere she looks. This week we meet a new couple—Andrew and Amira. Amira is chic and French. Andrew wears funny hats and runs a daycare in Roseville, CA. This should be fun. We won’t be live next week, but will be airing an exclusive interview with Usman Sojaboy Umar! Happy holidaze! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

The musician. The myth. The man-whore. PCP is diving into the Real Housewives of John Mayer’s Exes!  The love life of this WWHL lothario has made headlines and inspired music for years. He’s dated young starlets, A-list actresses, pop divas, and even a Pump Rules SURver. The breakups are just as legendary as the relationships, spawning feuds, interviews, and revenge songs. This episode is a wonderland. This week’s lineup includes: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, and Bravo’s own Scheana Marie! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It‘s Sundance season in SLC and these ladies are busy! Lisa Barlow is in mogul mode coordinating a jillion events (self-appointed #QueenOfSundance), and Meredith is prepping for Park City Fashion Week (Park City has a fashion week?). Jen’s film premiere at the Shah Chalet brings us a Pump Rules crossover with Katie and Lauren from Utah- but the main event here is watching Heather get her groove back!  Mary NEVER fails to sketch us out- how do you not know your cousin/housekeeper of 20 years?? Also, how are Brooks‘ generic tracksuits considered fashion?  How did we not see  that Brooks is like nails on a chalkboard before this?   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Oh, yeah. She’s a bunny boiler. Chef Rachel has gone full psycho. We knew it was coming, but we had no idea how far it would go. We recap the episode, and then we spill all the inside tea (more to come later in the season, so stay tuned!). On this episode, Sunshine sinks down below the horizon and he finally gets that plane ticket home. Somehow, Elizabeth — who turns out to be an incessant complainer — survives. There are no participation medals in yachting, LIZ. A cautionary tale about alcohol, kids: some people (like us) just get silly when they drink. Others (like Elizabeth and James) get horny. Still others (like the bunny boiler) go full Mrs. Hyde and get straight up SCARY. Who said this season was boring? Side notes: 1) Brianna’s sound is a bit wonky, since her power went down and she had to record on her phone. 2) If you hear ice cubes clinking during the episode, that’s Jen, who’s on her second glass of rum (ask her how big a “glass” is—dare you). 3) And when you hear the ADORABLE accent and sexy voice, that’s our number-one fan, King Willie, who finally left us a voice message! Virtual hugs (with masks on), our friends. Stay safe, stay home, and please take care of each other. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

The foreign spouses are landing and we’re taking bets on who’s going to break up first. The episode title “Shame on You” can definitely apply to 80% of the couples. Shame on Brandon for not telling Julia about the separate rooms. Shame on mom and dad for being so bass-ackwards, too. The shame doesn’t stop there — Jovi and Yara obviously hate each other. He’s completely unconcerned about her needs, and she’s yelling because his taste in decor is “I don’t care” and because she doesn’t have enough hangers. (They’re doomed.) Rebecca runs around telling everyone who will listen about what bad judgment she has for importing an obvious axe murderer with no job history. Mike has forgotten what a total bitch Natalie is and kicks poor uncle/cousin Beau out with his great moto jackets. Meanwhile, Hazel can’t wait to get to the US because of all the hot chicks. Then again, she’s coming to be with Tariq, who’s literally cutting up cilantro with a sword (yes, really). So, maybe she should get out quickly. Stay home, stay safe, and stay well, everyone. See you back here next time! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Stacy, Nate, and Jordan are taking you back to Mid-Aughts with the Real Housewives of Pop Princesses. Some are still megastars, some were one hit wonders- but these divas all brought us the drama we crave. Feuds, love triangles, divorces, meltdowns, and most importantly, shattered innocence. This episode features billion dollar empires, sold out tours, tabloid headlines, and... the mother of all conservatorships. Hit me PCP, one more time! This week’s lineup includes Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore, Willa Ford, and Jessica Simpson.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

The chaos continues at Mary’s Met Gala luncheon when Jen Shah calls her out for a convenience store “phobia“. Poor Valter. 7/11 didn’t deserve this! Meredith’s marriage reaches a breaking point (Is she having an affair?? Will she make it work with Seth?), and Whitney is taking her dad to rehab.. again. Heather struggles with being the cool, modern mom and Mormon outcast, and Lisa FINALLY admits that she isn’t perfect. LB may throw Rolexes out the car window, but she still deserves gifts ”just for breathing”.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Ahoy there, maties! Below Deck might be a little slow this week, but we’re as buzzed and enthusiastic as ever! That said, if we were charter guests, there’d be no spilling red wine all over the gorgeous teak deck. Sit your puppy ass on the porch, peeps, because it’s just bad form. Rachel has lost her fool mind, but not quite enough for Jen. We’d like to see a little more drama, but maybe we’re a bit desensitized after the shit show that was last season’s Below Deck Med. Captain Lee is as salty as ever, but can you blame him? UC Berkeley or no, Shane can’t even count to four to properly drop the fenders. Thrust this, baby (visualize Brianna flipping Shane off). The Americans on the show are just making us look bad, but we promise you, rest of the world, lots of us work plenty hard without complaining. (Look, we’re podcasting on a work night!) Stay safe, everyone. Wear your masks and stay home or you’ll leave Captain Lee standing on deck with his dick in his hands. Rate! Review! Subscribe!

Ahhhh, another season of 90 Day Fiancé OG! We’re stoked—new season, new couples, new mess. And after the bummer that was 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way, it’s a welcome relief. First, we’ve got a demon man baby whose mom is so involved with him that she’s calling the OB-GYN to get birth control for her soon-to-be-imported Russian daughter-in-law. Next up, a cute Cajun boy who has the good sense to be nervous about his Ukranian fiancée (she’s not sure she loves him, soooo). Rebecca and Zied are back (so mach beautiful!), as are the ill-fated Mike and Natalie. The common thread? None of these fools should be together (and we’re here for it). Anyone want to take bets on who will break up first? Seems like an excellent drinking game. Stay well, stay happy, and stay home, everyone!

The man, the myth, the WWHL Clubhouse LEGEND, Jerry O’Connell, joins Stacy and Jordan for a very special edition of Kiki & Kibbitz! We discuss all things Real Housewives at the deepest of levels -- RHOC, RHOSLC, RHOBH, RHONY, and more. We dive into current headlines rocking the Bravosphere (divorces, bankruptcies, sobriety issues, and coming out), as well as his real-life experiences hanging with Bravolebs. Jerry has seen it all, met them all, and filmed with most...and now he’s on K&K to share!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It’s a wrap for Season 2 of 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way! Unlike pretty much every other episode of the season, the finalé was almost upbeat — and not just because we’re so relieved it’s finally over. Ari and Bini get engaged, Brittany gets smart and leaves Jordan, Jenny is happy with a promise ring (geez), Deavan looks beautiful in her wedding dress (try to forget how that story ends), and Kenny and Armando *literally* ride off into the sunset. Thanks to our intrepid guest co-host, Stacy Noelle Conner, and stay tuned for the return of 90 Day Fiancé OG next week! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

Champagne, caviar, and foie gras…all the things that expensive yacht charters are made of (except if you’re us, in which case, just bring on the bubbly). This season of Below Deck has finally started to heat up after a bit of a slow start. Somehow, Sunshine didn’t get fired after his nap (maybe next week) and Rachel is approaching full-tilt crazy. We object to the half-empty plates, of course. Gordon Ramsey is definitely screaming expletives at the screen, if he’s watching. It looks like something is missing (such as a giant slab of filet mignon…just sayin’). These guests aren’t quite as evil as Charley, but they’re still not folks you’d want to invite over for dinner. Basically, eff us in the mouth—if I’m cooking, keep your booty in the seat, yo. Elizabeth has crystals in her bra and seems like she would make a great match for stoner Shane. They’re equally sloppy about their work and flaky AF. At least this week’s beach picnic went better. Stay safe and visit https://beautysociety.com/kikiandkibbitz for the best skincare products we know…and to support your favorite podcasters (that’s us—duh!). Till next time, hugs, kisses, and champagne dreams, friends! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

It‘s Thanksgiving week and RHOSLC is giving us a feast of drama to be grateful for! Heather copes with Mormon guilt as she plans a 5-mom baby shower, and Mary opens up to Meredith about her, umm, unusual marriage and wedding night. Brooks starts Vag-Gate against Jen Shah, and tensions boil over a canceled sleepover (Are they in junior high?). We get to see Preacher Mary in action at her church (that gold mic!), and Whitney’s Roaring 20’s party that isn’t very 20’s.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kikiandkibbitz/message

This week on Below Deck, we continue with Jax and Dax and Max (or whatever their names are — does it really matter?). Thanks to the slow pace of the interior staff, they’re so wasted that they’re basically two jello shots away from a jet ski accident. Lest you forget, those girls were LITERALLY starving. Someone, quick, tell them what literally means. And while you’re at it, explain what tipping is and why one should do it. The crew goes out for yet another ho-hum night, returning to the boat faster than any Below Deck crew ever. Maybe they bore each other as much as this episode is boring us. We close out the episode with Shane sleeping in his bunk while everyone else is working, sporting a “Do Not Disturb” eye mask. Eddie sees him and stalks off, hopefully to tell Captain Lee and end the collective torture. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Stay safe, wear your mask, and consider spending a quiet holiday at home.
