    Episode 007: A Tale of Fraudulent Heffas

    This week on The Life of Leek Podcast, I’m diving DEEP into Summer House Season 10 — the chaos, the friendships, and the reunion drama. I break down Kyle & Amanda’s divorce and explain why I ultimately believe Amanda played a major role in the downfall of their marriage while Kyle carried the pressure of keeping both the household and Loverboy afloat. We also get into Kyle & Carl’s complicated friendship, including the emotional fallout over Carl’s brother’s death anniversary, the Loverboy tension, and why Carl seems emotionally dependent on the people around him. Plus, I recap Part 1 of the reunion:• Amanda & Wes’s suspicious joint statement• The cast group FaceTime drama• What really happened on reunion day• Ciara finally snapping on Amanda• And why I think West is a calculated social climber who picked the wrong side This episode is messy, opinionated, dramatic, and VERY honest. #SummerHouse #BravoTV #RealityTV #TheLifeOfLeekPodcast

  2. Episode 006: If U Can’t Feed The Baby, Then Don’t Have The Baby

    Episode 006: If U Can’t Feed The Baby, Then Don’t Have The Baby

    The Life of Leek Podcast — Episode 6: If U Can't Feed The Baby, Then Don't Have The Baby!!! After disappearing for a minute, Leek is finally back behind the mic with another chaotic catch-up session. From realizing working from home is NOT the vibe, to trying out a new recording location because the bed keeps winning every time, this episode is full of random thoughts, hilarious commentary, and pure unfiltered energy. I share a conversationI had with my dad after he told me he wants me to become a single father — and why I had to shut that idea down REAL quick. Internet chaos, and the state of people in 2026. Life has been lifin'… but the podcast is BACK. 😭🎙️

    Episode 005: America Runs on Drug Fronts & Bad Decisions

    Episode 5 is CHAOS in its purest form. We start off spiraling (as usual) — from world events to Housewives premieres — before diving headfirst into everything that’s been rotting my brain this week. We’re talking: • Real Housewives updates (Atlanta is BACK, Jersey returns, Rhode Island is messy already) • Why I am officially at war with short men • The 2026 “early 2000s nostalgia” that collapsed in real time • TikTok rabbit holes that made me lose faith in humanity • Why people are literally creating their own relationship problems • My theory that half of America’s businesses are actually drug fronts (and I stand by it) • Why being broke in college used to hit different • Airbnb hosts losing their minds — and why I do NOT feel bad Then we get into the main event… Amanda. Wes. Ciara. The mess. Because how do you fumble public support after a divorce THAT badly? We’re unpacking the betrayal, the weird timing, the racial undertones, and why some people are just… not good friends. Also: • A Chicago Bulls player learns actions have consequences • The Hannah Montana reunion disappoints me deeply • And yes — I’m still holding grudges from middle school. Forever. This episode is unfiltered, a little unhinged, and probably my most honest one yet. Press play. You’ve been warned.

  4. Episode 004: Don’t Touch My French Toast.

    Mar 24

    Episode 004: Don’t Touch My French Toast.

    We’re starting off strong with a story that still has me heated: a coworker, my breakfast, and zero utensils in sight. From there it spirals (as it should). I get into doomsday prep TikTok, why I don’t actually want to survive an apocalypse, and recap one of the most overbooked weekends of my life. We unpack a viral prison pregnancy story that sounds like pure fiction, talk Harry Potter reboot concerns, and call out the Duggars (again… because it never ends). Also: defending Jack Harlow, side-eyeing Chappell Roan, draft rumors, and pitching better Summer House locations. Reality TV breakdowns include: Jesse’s nonsense, Ciara deserved better, Kyle being… Kyle, and my honest thoughts on Karen Huger, Wendy, and the state of Potomac. And yes — we have to talk about that Traitors finale.

  5. Episode 003: Hiatus Over. Chaos Resumed.

    Episode 003: Hiatus Over. Chaos Resumed.

    Two weeks off and absolutely nothing healed. This week on The Life of Leek, I’m back and unfortunately… still opinionated. We’re unpacking Punch the Monkey, my ongoing irritation with Tara on The Traitors US, and the chaos that never sleeps in Bravo-land. I also take a moment to say RIP to Eric Dane, get into Jill Zarin being metaphorically fired on her day off (again), and break down Shia LaBeouf wreaking havoc at Mardi Gras like it’s performance art. Then we slide into Summer House and whatever is going on with Kyle Cooke, plus Part 1 of the RHOP Season 10 Reunion — because you know I have thoughts. The hiatus is over. The tolerance is not back. Press play.

  6. Episode 002: Hot Takes From Under the Covers (Grammys, Jailhouse Lies & Reality TV Chaos)

    Feb 9

    Episode 002: Hot Takes From Under the Covers (Grammys, Jailhouse Lies & Reality TV Chaos)

    Recorded horizontally because comfort > everything, but the opinions are still loud. This episode I’m dragging the 2026 Grammys (the wins, the snubs, the “why was THAT on stage?” moments) before giving flowers during a 100 Years of Black History celebration, because culture built this — period. Then we get messy. Karen Huger’s post-jail interview gets reviewed like a book report on denial. Over on The Traitors, the traitors are finally traitoring each other and the paranoia is delicious. Meanwhile, the Summer House premiere said Kyle & Amanda are back in their yearly “we hate it here” relationship era. And I close with love for a real legend — Wendy Williams — her impact, her voice, and why pop culture will never be the same. Cozy setting. Uncozy truths.

    Feb 2

    Episode 001: Crowns, Chaos, No Mac, No Peace

    For the very first episode, Leek dives headfirst into the mess. He breaks down The Real Housewives of Potomac season 10, unpacks the strategy and chaos already surrounding The Traitors season 4, and finally addresses the cultural mystery that refuses to die: why white people don’t have mac & cheese at Thanksgiving. Plus, he revisits the original royal entanglement—Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and Camilla—proving that long before reality TV, the crown was already serving scandal.
