    213. Gabbing about Greek Tragedies: RHOSLC Finale w/ Gibson Johns (@gabbingwithgib)

    Happy New Year and happy SLC finale, Mixies! Host of Gabbing with Gib, Gibson Johns is in The Mix with Mani to breakdown and discuss the nuances of the final episode of the RHOSLC season. Was ending on a cast trip a good idea? Was there resolve anywhere this season? What was cut out? And how about the line drawn in the sand and two sides emerging at the tail end. Is anyone being a good friend...to anyone? But undeniably the finale was A LOT to behold so Mani and Gib have a lot to unpack. Jump in The Mix! Like being in The Mix with Mani? Leave a review/rating!

    208. RHOBH is BACK to Boujie and SLOMW Reunions (That Should've Been Emailed) w/Vanessa (@realiTEA_recap)

    RHOBH is BACK! Vanessa and I talk the premiere of Real housewives of Beverly Hills. The cheesy intros we love. the opulence and friendships that only show up with cameras. and the fashion statements made while talking ca$h Sh!t about your co-workers...or friends. The BH girlies are back and back to their roots of wealth and delusion and with a new wife in tow---Rachel ZOE! Thoughts on her ushering in as a housewife now and not the titular talent of a Bravo show as she once was.Over in UTAH we wrap up the SLOMW season with more questions and big complaints about that sorry reunion. Could it be that only Bravo and Andy know how to reunite a cast and get some results? Or were there simply too many men present? Are we still excited for season 4? Vanessa always comes with the kiki and the tea so jump into The Mix with us!

From SLOMW to RHOSLC and its most recent revelations in marriages and the Boston Spill the Tea party. Of course they go over to the east coast for RHOP and the shenanigans at Pride events, Monique and her ex-husband's relevance, and Podcast events with randoms but not hosts!

    206. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives or Baddies Utah Feat. Fruity Pebbles w/Kaya (@bravowhileblack)

    What is in the snow in UTAH?!?! Kaya was scheduled to get in to The Mix to discuss Season 3 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Fresh thoughts, not so episodic, the season as a whole and all the ups and downs, editing, and production decisions. The drama was abundant and gave plenty to discuss. BUT THEN That dang Demi and Jessi got into it and Kaya got an answer to the question she waited two years for: What is "Fruity Pebbles" (and how can we now unknow it). Part 1 of SLOMW before the reunion, our opinions as black girlies watching and judging and making way too many jokes to cope with fruity pebbles.  Come mix it up!  Catch up on Kaya's BravoCon coverage and content @bravowhileblack  Listen to their pod Bravo We're Black Listen Early and Ad-Free In the Mix on Patreon: patreon.com/mixingwithmani Follow me on Instagram and Threads @mixingwithmani Be back after Thanksgiving--THANKFUL TO YOU FOR LISTENING!
