Chris Derosa (Fixing Famous People) is a tv producer who has worked with some of your favorite housewives! Natalie dives back into the Bravo-verse to pick Chris’s brain about the value The Real Housewives franchise has brought to television and how they are the representation we have of older women in media. From health scares, unemployments, jail sentences, divorces, and other life hurdles, The Real Housewives has given a platform for women to talk about their life stories. The two friends also touch on how The Real Housewives may promote this idea that we always have to keep up with everyone around us and stunt for Instagram, but they also offer an example of people who are confident enough to not need to race their peers to the top. Also, are The Real Housewives conflict resolution icons? We know for a fact that they are women living loudly and boldly!

Sometimes, dreams really do come true and that’s what this episode is this week! Kristen Meinzer (The Daily Fail) joins us this week to talk about misogyny in the royal family. Natalie and Kristen will talk about the double standards Kristen has observed as a professional royal watcher. Whether it's pitting Kate against Megan, the press being more lenient on men, or the royal pressure of women to be perfect wives that produce perfect heirs; you can’t deny that misogyny has woven its way into royalty and has been there for generations.

Tara Jabbari (Who Was She Podcast) is going to do Natalie a solid this episode and explain the information she studied about parasocial relationships during her graduate thesis. Parasocial relationships are a niche interest for Natalie because she loves being a fan girl for her favorite creators, musicians, and actresses but often feels personally attacked by all this talk on toxic parasocial relationships. Natalie and Tara will talk over the true definition of a parasocial relationships, the cons that come along with having a one-sided relationship with someone in the public eye, and how Natalie has actually turned those parasocial relationships to actual memories and connections with the people she admires. Of course there will be special mention of Natalie’s other niche interests: Taylor Swift, the cast and crew of Dropout Tv, and Kesha.

Natalie is joined by new friend Kristiana to do a bucket list topic! It is finally time to give the men of Grey’s Anatomy the Team Tolerator treatment! They will discuss how the likes of Derek Shepherd and Preston Burke projected a lot of expectations on Meredith and Christina without actually taking into account how both those women would feel about those expectations. There will be a special shout out to George O’Malley and Owen Hunt for treating women like they’re something due to them and not actually investing in who they are as people. And finally, we will discuss how the women of Grey’s Anatomy rose to the occasion to hold their own at Seattle Grace despite how the men of the hospital were treating them.

Natalie had the pleasure to talk to Laura Danger after being a huge fan of her social media presence on the idea of “weaponized incompetence”. Laura will go over how fair play has a role in healthy expectations and boundaries within your marriage and relationships. Natalie and Laura will also discuss distinct examples that they have witnessed of this idea of weaponized incompetence where your partner gets to just not know how to do something and you pick up that emotional/physical/mental labor. Not only do they find that as a really petty excuse to not be involved in a laborious activity, but they also discover that weaponized ignorance is also at play when it comes to how women are treated within their homes, society, and the world.
