Welcome back, Trash Box listeners! SO. After a brief hiatus, I have returned with a solo episode to discuss the last month in Orange County (omg Noella), Miami (omg Alexia), and Salt Lake City (omg EVERYONE). But before we dive into the coverage, I have a little announcement: I'm taking a break 'til spring. Life has gotten extra busy for me this winter. And when I return, I'm leaning towards revamping the podcast into something that's more general pop culture/celebrity gossip. A ridiculous...

This week on Trash Box I welcome stand up comedian Dan Udy, who has a PhD in reality TV! Actually! I initially thought he was joking when he told me, but I discover the fantastic truth a third of the way into this episode. So get ready for an extremely intellectual discussion about The Real Housewives.  First up is the Nicki Minaj reunion, which was so so so fun. Then Dan gives us his thoughts on the Orange County premiere (I didn't watch, and I'm still on the fence about this season)....

This week drag/comedy sensation Viza DeCline has returned to dish on the middle-aged narcissists of the Bravo-verse.   After some talk of horoscopes, ghosts, and psychics, we jump into the surprisingly entertaining Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip #RHUGT. Guess what’s not a surprise! Ramona being the worst! Duh! Then it’s onto this amazing season of #RHOSLC. We are living through history, people! This ensemble is spectacular. Finally it’s the third part of the Potomac reunion, and...

IT'S HERE! And because two "real guests" fell through, I am joined by my lovely boyfriend, Eli Weinstein, to talk Jen Shah's arrest and Potomac reunion Part II (Real Housewives Ultimate Girl's Trip isn't available yet in Canada). It actually works out, cuz I have no problem talking over him or telling him his opinions are wrong :-) Anywho, enjoy our reaction and recap of this instantly iconic episode of #RHOSLC. Jam packed full of drama and ridiculousness. What an ensemble! Then we jump...

Comedian and friend Alessandra Vite is back to talk about The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City! Cuz Salt Lake City is the only Housewives city she watches! I do solo coverage of the first part of the Potomac reunion immediately after.   But yeah... Salt Lake City. WOW. What an episode. Lisa Barlow is pretty damn lucky that Mary Cosby and Jen Shah are on this show, because otherwise she'd be Public Enemy #1. Instead she's #3. The pre-arrest footage is... magnificent. But the pre-Mary...

I haven't laughed this hard in some time. That's all thanks to this week's hilarious guest, Tamara Shevon. Catch her debut solo stand-up album "Purse Wine," out Friday November 12, and follow @teemair on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram.   This week we start with Part 4 of the Beverly Hills reunion. Um... was that necessary? And why are we applauding Erika for telling lie after lie after lie? Next up is Potomac, where Michael Darby is on the brink of death and nobody wants to climb those...

Welcome to another week of Trash Box! Comedian/friend Tom Hearn is back back back, and guess what? HE FINALLY WATCHED POTOMAC. Phew! What a relief, I was really starting to resent him. So! This week we're diving into Potomac's 2-day drama-packed trip from hell, the latest Salt Lake City (which Tom is fuzzy on because he watched most of it drunk), and the third part of the Beverly Hills reunion. This... didn't need four parts. But I will take Erika's lies over Jennie and Duy's horrible...

This week I'm joined by actress/writer Rachel Mutombo! Fun facts about Rachel: she's loves Mary Cosby, she thinks Erika is a liar, and she's broken enough bones in her life to know that doctors gave Gizelle the *walking boot*, therefore Ms. Bryant can haul her butt down some stairs to a shared bathroom.  This week we cover the latest Potomac, the second part of the Beverly Hills reunion (um... THE LIES, THE LIES, THE LIES), and Sunday's episode of Salt Lake City. Who the f**k is this Duy...

This week I welcome back the stunning, sassy drag superstar Selena Vyle! After airing our grievances (I had a showdown with the guy delivering my new bed frame, a train employee stupidly came for Selena), we dive into Part 1 of the Beverly Hills reunion. Um... is Erika OK? Also, Team Garcelle and Sutton, obviously. And Lisa Rinna can get f****d, BOOOOO! Then it's Potomac, where Candiace goes low and White Chris goes high. Finally, Salt Lake City, where it's Jen Shah vs. Brooks, "that little...

Trash Box is back after a week hiatus (it was a family wedding, give me a goddamn break!), and I missed you. I did. Three really strong eps of Housewives to recap/snark on this week, but first I talk a bit about the new LA Times interview with Garcelle, Sutton, and Crystal. Worth a read, very entertaining! First up is the finale of Beverly Hills, where I Google everybody's net worth, fawn over Crystal's Chinese New Year party, champion Sutton, and wish bad things on the Fox Force Five (I...

This week I’m joined by my buddy/repeat guest, zee hilarious Tom Hearn. And guess what? We get suuuper worked up about this week's Beverly Hills and Salt Lake City. Cuz, like me, Tom has a wee bit of a temper (see: his very real Twitter feud with Iggy Azalea). Which means the Fox Force Five gaslighting Garcelle, Erika’s constant lies, and Jen Shah’s ice castle manipulations have us screaming at our TVs, foaming at the mouths, and saying things which could be held against us in a court of law....

Hello hello, and welcome to the latest episode of Trash Box! On this solo ep I cover the RHONY reunion cancelled (eyeroll emoji), the Salt Lake premiere (party hat emoji), Beverly Hills (bride emoji?), and Potomac (wide forehead emoji).  I'm on Taria S. Faison's What Else Is Going On podcast this week to cover Salt Lake, so give that a listen, and next week we have comedian Tom Hearn back to dish on the latest Housewives fuckery. Also, help me find synonyms for the word "crazy"! Follow us...

It's a solo Trash Box ep! I recorded this mere minutes after I watched this week's Beverly Hills, so my emotions are FRESH. And most of the emotions are rage, fury, anger. Erika is evil! Lisa was not drunk! Kyle needs to pick a lane! Oy. I gotta take a breath. Maybe it's time to go back to therapy? Before we dive into #RHOBH, I publicly eat shit and read aloud the fan mail I sent to Erika back in 2017. This extremely real Instagram message is so, so embarrassing, and I'd like to formally...

This week I am so lucky to be joined by a fellow Housewives podcaster, Taria S. Faison. Taria is the host of What Else is Going On? @weigopodcast. In this very special super-sized episode we recap this week’s Bravo offerings and dive into a variety of topics, including (but not limited to): -Internet trolls, racists, and Housewives fans -how these women need to be breaking the fourth wall -the different types of chain restaurants in America and Canada (extremely relevant) The first show...

Trash Box has returned from vacay to report on the news of the day! This week I'm joined by my friend, proud Housewives obsessive Natalie Metcalfe, an actress/writer/comedian known for her sketch duo Christian & Nat and her work with the Second City, Toronto. First up is the last Real Housewives of Potomac, which was an instant classic and the best episode of the season. Thank God for Ashley's messiness ("she blows it up, grabs her breast milk, and leaves!"), Wendy coming for...

F**k off, Lisa Rinna. F**k off, Erika. F**k off, Ramona.  Welcome to this week's sorta-solo episode of Trash Box. First we need to talk about the Salt Lake City trailer: WOW. They're really going there with Jen Shah, thank Christ! Speaking of fraudsters... RHOBH! Erika Jayne's b******t tears and Lisa Rinna coming for Garcelle is rage-inducing television. Flames... flames on the side of my face. Next up is Real Housewives of Potomac, which is hopefully setting itself up for some ridiculous...

Last September Nicky Nasrallah (A.K.A. drag sin-sation Selena Vyle) made the terrifying choice to watch every single Housewives show and episode in the order of when they aired. They have viewed 64 seasons in less than one year. And, somehow, they lived to tell the tale. First up Selena shares their Top 3 Hottest Househusbands (mystery #1 is who the title of this episode refers to... and it's not who we expected). Then we dive into Beverly Hills, where Emily callously compares Erika to OJ...

On this week's episode Emily is joined by Trash Box superfan (lol) Amanda Pereira, actress/comedian/host of The Liquid Courage Podcast. Get ready for an extremely passionate episode. Emotions run high and opinions run wild. First up is RHONY, where the consensus is egomaniacs Ramona and Lu need to get packin'. Then, even though there was no new Beverly Hills episode this week, Emily and Amanda discuss the reviled Erika Jayne and fan favourite Kathy Hilton. Amanda has some truly shocking...

Welcome to this special solo episode of Trash Box! Emily is back from her family cottage trip where there was no WiFi and no Housewives on TV (LE GASP). But she's caught up on what she's missed and is here to share her very important opinions. First up is New York, which actually isn't the worst this week (thank you Bershan!). Does Sonja have an alcohol problem? Is it wise to confront her about it at the bar? Does the Salem psychic have access to Google? Yes, no, yes. Then it's over to...

It's a big week, folks! The much anticipated Potomac premiere, a RHONY episode where something actually happens (kudos, Bershan), and Erika's lawsuits blow up on Beverly Hills. Joining us is Nik from The Real Housewives Out of Context (@rhoutofcontext), a fantastic meme/fan account that you can find on Instagram and Twitter. Also, he's Emily's online pen pal, so we're pumped to finally meet in person and talk shop. First Emily and Nik talk about all the casting shakeup rumours swirling...

This week Emily is joined by Canada's most critically ignored drag superstar, THEE Viza DeCline. We're talkin' New York City, Beverly Hills, and anxiously counting down to the premiere of Potomac this Sunday.  First up is RHONY: Scorpio Ramona is a nightmare, LuAnn goes blue, Viza thinks Bershawn deserves a promotion, and how do you solve a problem like Leah? Then on RHOBH we talk about Erika's most recent legal issues, how much we appreciate both Crystal the Smug and Sutton the Sensitive,...

This week Trash Box welcomes back the high-larious Canadian Comedy Award-winning actor/comedian Tom Hearn. After shooting the shit about pandemic stress and Below Deck, it's time for a Beverly Hills deep dive. Emily and Tom discuss the fall of Erika Jayne (Tom's former favourite Housewife), the gift that is Kathy Hilton, the never ending Crystal vs. Sutton feud, and THEE ONE. THEE ONLY. MR. POPPINS. There's also lots of segues about body image, the definition of "convoluted" and the...

Welcome to another week of Trash Box and Real Housewives dramatics. In this episode Emily is joined by the hilarious comedian/TV writer/fitness wench Gillian Bartolucci, who's here to discuss the big Erika Jayne ep of Beverly Hills. What is true? What is lies? Is Bravo really selling Ms. Jayne as a victim? Will anything be definitively proven this season, or will the ladies continue to kiss Erika's ass?! Gill also shares her dance-world connection to THEE "pat the puss" icon Mikey Minden,...

On this week's Trash Box we have a surprise twist: No Marshall Lorenzo, due to scheduling issues. Just Emily Richardson, doing her best not to talk herself into madness. Don't worry! He'll be back next week. First Emily covers the exciting new Orange County casting news, then dives into the Erika Jayne doc; we touched on it last week, but now's the time to talk about Danielle's hair, Danielle's one liners, Danielle's blinding ego-- oh, and the people Tom stole money from. That was truly...
