It’s a wrap — literally.

In this special Crime, Cocktails & BS 2025 Wrapped episode, Alex and Kajsa are looking back on a wild year of CCBS: the cases that haunted us, the reality TV moments that sent us spiraling, the cocktails that slapped (and the ones that maybe… didn’t), and all the chaos in between.

We’re breaking down our most memorable true crime stories, the Bravo scandals we couldn’t stop talking about, standout episodes, unexpected guest moments, and how the podcast evolved over the past year — from what surprised us most to what absolutely did not. We also get candid about behind-the-scenes lessons, favorite running jokes, audience moments we loved, and what we’re manifesting (and side-eyeing 👀) for 2026.

Think of this as our Spotify Wrapped… but with crimes, cocktails, and significantly more BS.

Pour a drink, get comfy, and let’s recap 🍸

This week, we’re each bringing our own revenge murder case to the table. Two stories fueled by obsession, betrayal, and the kind of plot twists that make you question humanity and pour another drink. Then we dive straight into the new season of Southern Charm, where the “pick me” energy is practically a cast member at this point.

We’re also talking the surprising (and fabulous) return of Rachel Zoe on RHOBH, because yes, dolls, the fashion is finally back, and we unpack whether the brand-new Vanderpump Rules reboot stands a chance of recreating the absolute cultural chaos of the OG cast.

True crime, Bravo breakdowns, and unfiltered opinions — just another week on CCBS.

Step into the pods with us because this week we’re sitting down with Love Is Blind breakout Taylor Rue. We’re talking everything from life after the show, to what producers don’t tell you, to how she’s navigating her newest adventure: motherhood.
It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and full of behind-the-scenes tea you won’t hear anywhere else.

Fasten your seatbelts, dolls — this week’s episode is a chaotic cocktail of true crime, celebrity delusion, and Bravo-level mess.

First, we’re diving head-first into crimes of passion and full-on beheadings — the kind of cases that make you clutch your pearls, question humanity, and triple-lock your doors. We break down what pushes someone past the edge, the wildest twists from recent cases, and why these stories haunt us long after the headlines fade.

Then, we’re teleporting straight to BravoCon 2025, where the wigs were big, the egos were bigger, and the drama was absolutely unhinged. Cast feuds, surprise appearances, shady fan questions — we’re spilling everything you missed and everything Bravo wishes they could’ve edited out.

And finally, we’re wrapping things up in Salt Lake City, because the latest episode of Real Housewives of SLC gave us more chaos than a beauty lab grand opening. We’re breaking down the screaming, the scheming, the tears, and the truly iconic moments that prove these women are carrying reality TV on their backs.

It’s gruesome crimes, Bravo glitter, and Mormon-mountain mayhem all in one episode — and yes, we made a cocktail to match.

Fasten your seatbelts, dolls, because this episode is one wild ride. lex and Kajsa dive headfirst into the most unhinged crimes of the week — from twisted true-crime tales to jaw-dropping chaos straight out of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Expect cocktails, cackles, and a little bit of delusion as the dolls dissect what’s criminal, what’s camp, and what’s just plain crazy.

🎙️ Ever wondered why we’re so obsessed with celebrity gossip? This week we’re joined by the amazing Shannon from Fluently Forward to unpack the psychology and sociology behind it — from blind items to PR spins and why curiosity isn’t a crime. 🧠💅(Also… Kajsa’s mic was hanging on by a literal wire. ⚡ Promise the convo’s worth the chaos.)

This week, we’re diving into two wild corners of the cult world: the modern, media-savvy Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light and the snake-handling, strychnine-drinking Church of God with Signs Following. From international recruitment tactics to Appalachian backroads, these stories are as unsettling as they are fascinating.

And of course—we’re breaking down all the latest drama from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Buckle up for cults, chaos, and cold Utah shade.

This week on Crime, Cocktails & BS, we’re joined by the radiant Theresa Nist, fresh from Golden Bachelor fame, to break down Season 2, Episode 1. From first impressions and standout entrances to the biggest surprises of the night, Theresa shares her unique perspective on the Golden journey, life after the spotlight, and what it really feels like to step into Bachelor Nation.

Alex and Kajsa are back with a full roundup of what’s happening in both true crime and reality TV. From shocking new cases making headlines to the latest Bravo buzz, they catch you up on everything you might’ve missed. After a slow Bravo summer, the lull is officially over—Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has returned, and with it comes the drama we’ve been waiting for.
