We had an upstairs/downstairs situation as the SUR dummies had to serve LVP and the cast of RHOBH. Shocker... Kristen had a meltdown and her relationship is hanging on by a thread. We do learn that the worst couple you know stars in a movie together that we're determined to find and watch. 
We also jumped timelines when we got a season 2 glimpse of one of the major players in the current season 12 and the back alley cemented its place as the 8th cast member. 
Stay tuned for our coverage of the new season 12, we've affectionately dubbed, "The New Glass," with new episodes dropping every Wednesday morning.

The fallout from Katie's yardsale bombs continue to rock the gang (and the pod) and Stassi is determined to get to the bottom of the rumors floating around about her and she could care less Katie is in a full blown meltdown. We also get to see a shirtless Jax, Peter and Schwartz on their Spring Break Brunch and new Mob Wives-inspired confessional look from LVP
Jeff and Sundi share their hangover cures and what their apology tours looked like back in their good time girl days. (pssssst - seems like Jeff was the bigger good time girl of the both of us). And ever the marketing genuis, Jeff invents a brand for Jax Taylor, "Balls Deep."

Welcome back to season 12!  We will slow it down, lay down our crystals and heed the words of advice from the title of this episode as we set to "Manifest and Chill" out and talk about this episode.
There are friendships, relationships and situationships of all kinds to get to the bottom of and we even get to hear two people in their 40's discuss what Third Base is; did they get close? Pour up a Pinot and get your inner Venus on as you can relax and let these Survers do the work.

Another birthday disaster for the dummies this week as Peter comes out of his shirt for a bday lap dance. Jax goes on a date and Jeff has some suggestions for slogans for Jax's pretend cologne brand "Balls Deep."
Katie really shows her self after a few tequilas and makes it weird for everyone and LVP turns up at the party to pay the bill.

In a true remote but GOAT show, Jeff takes the Pinot pod on the road for a bit of departure from our normal content. We discussed the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives S3: Reunion Special in which Sundi's picker continues to be broken and Jeff ALMOST agrees to watch Vanderpump Villa.  
It's not a beat-by-beat recap, but we do talk Stassi's hosting style, reality stars as "co-workers"  and which wife would be perfectly okay without this show. We diverge a little bit on our favorite husbands, but we're ready for them to stop trying to make #DadTok happen anyway.
 
Visit @takeapinotpod on Instagram for lots of fun visual aids (including a totally unsolicited ranking of the women's 'fits) and silly jokes Sundi thinks are funny.

This week's episode is Pride-themed, although that is about the extend of any proud-feelings we have about the dummies' antics. The gang take their animosities on the road during the WeHo pride parade and, much to Jeff's dismay, allow it to disrupt their shift immediately following. 
Jassi fight blah, blah, blah... Krandoval give us second hand embarrassment, blah blah blah, and poor Peter is the workhorse of the cast. He works hard for his money. 
Join us this week as we take on a new journey, recapping the new season 12, we've affectionately dubbed, "The New Glass," with new episodes dropping ever Wednesday morning.

The SUR dummies throw a sexy, unquie party for Gladalie (Jeff's 'ship name for them) and reluctantly take Jax's side as he is further ground down to a nub under Stassi's boot. The Pinot pod's feelings diverge on Kristen this week, but it still wasn't as disturbing as watching Stassi and Katie do a burlesque routine. 
We have decided to take on the new dummies on the block in season 12, so join us on this journey as we recap the older seasons and premiere "The New Glass," We'll have a foot in both worlds.

We've decided to cover the new season, so The Pinot pod braved all the spoilers to watch fun look-back of 11 seasons of Vanderpump Rules.  And boy, are we glad we did. We learned what this show was ALMOST called, we saw that Jax will always be a dirtbag and that Katie ages like a fine wine. 
Join us on this journey as we recap the older seasons and premiere "The New Glass," in which we watch each week unfold in real time. We'll have a foot in both worlds.
