  • Updated Weekly

Check Me Boomer is a weekly father-daughter podcast about reality TV. Dad's obsessed with Bravo. Maybe even more so than Isabella. Every week, the show covers the Real Housewives franchises (Beverly Hills, New York, Atlanta, New Jersey, Potomac, Salt Lake City, and Rhode Island), along with Summer House, In the City, Next Gen NYC, Southern Charm, Ladies of London, Southern Hospitality, The Valley, Love Island, and whatever else pulls them in. Sometimes they agree. Sometimes they don't. Either way, listeners get two people who actually love reality TV, working through it together. What they watched, what they side-eyed, and what they can't stop thinking about. Dad watches almost everything. Isabella watches everything too, plus catches every clip, group chat, and podcast take the internet has to offer. So the conversation runs from what happened on screen to what the fans are saying about it. Honest takes on the drama, the cast dynamics, and the moments worth rewinding. New episodes drop every week.

Then it's on to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, where Taylor Frankie Paul's chaos keeps escalating and the Dakota, Miranda, and Layla fallout gets messier by the episode.

    Reunions and Reckonings: RHOA, The Valley, and Ultimate Girls Trip

    It's a reunion-heavy week as Dad and Isabella break down the Bravo slate — the Ultimate Girls Trip crew touching down in Beverly Hills, an explosive Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion, and The Valley's Season 3 finale reckoning.  On this episode of Check Me Boomer, father and daughter Dad and Isabella open with Bravo's Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, where the group leaves Orange County for the Beverly Hilton and the tension between Vicki Gunvalson and Gizelle Bryant boils over, alongside Vicki's surprise apology to Teresa Giudice, a plate-sharing standoff with Luann de Lesseps, and Kyle Richards navigating her separation. They then dig into Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion: the K. Michelle and Kelli Ferrell pre-reunion blowup, the Shamea and Porsha family feud, Pinky Cole's bankruptcy defense, Cynthia Bailey's new song, and a cryptic "device" storyline. From there the conversation stays on Bravo. Next Gen NYC's love triangle builds between Ariana Biermann, Charlie Zakkour, and Liam Obergfoll, while Shai Fruchter and Brooks Marks find a rare mature reset and the news of Kandi and Todd's divorce lands hard for Riley Burruss. On Below Deck Mediterranean, Max returns as a jolt of energy while Captain Sandy's crew wrestles with an especially demanding charter. And The Valley closes its season with a Part 3 reunion centered on Danny Booko's drinking, Lala Kent's pointed advice to Nia, Janet Caperna's emotional moment, and Kristen Doute's change of heart. Beyond Bravo, the two step into documentaries: a new Boeing exposé (Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing) that left them both rattled about flying, and Netflix's Quarterback, following Baker Mayfield, Joe Flacco, Jayden Daniels, and Cam Ward across the NFL season. Isabella also closes the book on Stassi Schroeder's series House of Stassi.  --- Find us:https://checkmeboomer.comTikTok @check.me.boomer · Instagram @checkmeboomer · Facebook @checkmeboomer Music: "Goodbye to Joey" by The Mundahs, used with permission.
