In true Scheana fashion, Stassi acts as the hinge between her hit show, and the newly minted "Summer House." The Hamptons haters (Katie, Stassi, Kristen and Scheana) head to Montauk for Stassi's bday and wind up giving us the gift: a young, fresh-faced Kyle and a VERY horny Carl. 
Our slate is refreshing as  we add RHOC (seasons 20 AND 1), McBee Dynasty, and House of Stassi.

Buckle in, y'all, this is a long one. We ran through the first half of season 2, making our way to the grandprize of McBee season 3. Steve Sr. is missing, Cole is expecting and Jesse is our unproblematic king.
Our slate is refreshing as  we add RHOC (seasons 20 AND 1),  and House of Stassi, and always, vintage Vanderpump.

Summer House is almost born and Stassi, et al head to the Hamptons (all of them). Meanwhile, Ariana & Co board a Lala-less Sonoma Express. Scheana is the odd-girl out and the unmuzzled witches are giving cliquey, slumber-party energy. 
As the Pinot Pod winds down our time In the City, we’re heading west to claim our oranges as we take on the Real Housewives of Orange County’s 20th season. As a treat for y’all and us, Emilie and I are also going to revisit season 1, way back in 2006

A midweek mini-crossover episode where we talk about things outside our Bravo bubble. This week we chatted about the Apple series, Cape Fear, and Sundi geeks out about its Southern Gothic-ness. Jeff gets to talk about all the new releases (from old favorites Madonna, Beyonce and Olivia Rodrigo) and Sundi shares a few faves. We run down the movies we can't wait to see and celebrate some of our faves' Emmy noms.

In this episode of Vintage Vanderpump (S5E7), we get the (now)infamous diagnoses from Stassi, in which Jax is found to be a (duh!) sociapath and she gets off easy as an "alcoholic." There are two cliques heading to separate birthday celebrations, but Lala stands one of them up.

The second-to-last episode of this Summer House wanna-be takes us to Connecticut, where Lindsay's "single mom card" is called into question and Kyle has a classic meltdown. *sigh* We'll see you next week.

Sundi and Nolin cover McBee Dynasty season 1, episodes 6–10. Here's where it all starts to fall apart for these American "cowboys." The VC deal falls through, one of the boys gets engaged while the others make it Instagram official. 
Steve Sr. continues to be trash and Galyna has a real revelation. 
Sundi is a pop culture professor who will watch anything and Nolin is always down to dish. Find us at @takeapinotpod on Instagram, Tik Tok and  YouTube, and Questions, complaints, and hot takes go to jeff@pinotpod.com. Make sure to leave a review so more people can find us and commiserate.
