On a Real Note

Noah and Aidan are putting the spotlight on America's favorite fraudulent family: the Chrisleys. In this episode, they dive deep into the surprise clemency granted to Todd and Julie Chrisley and discuss exactly how they got out early, what they were actually convicted of (spoiler alert: fraud) and the duplicitious money trail that landed them behind bars in the first place. But the real twist? Todd and Julie didn't even unpack before hopping back in front of a camera. That's right, they're already filming a brand new reality show for Lifetime — and Aidan and Noah speculating on what this post-prison rebrand could look like, what the network is really banking on, and whether the Chrisleys will go back to their old ways.

Noah and Aidan love watching reality shows you're curious about but don't want to invest actual time in. This week, the duo tackles the premiere of Polyfamily, TLC's newest entry into the relationship reality genre focusing on a "closed quad" navigating polyamorous family life in suburbia. Aidan and Noah break down the four core cast members and their surprisingly layered dynamic, from co-parenting logistics to in-law reactions and the everyday balancing act of love, sex, and shared calendars. The show dives into the highs and lows of polyamory with the TLC flair we've come to expect—tense dinner conversations, group therapy, and lots of couch confessions. The hosts explore why these four were clearly cast with intention (there's a home birth, a firefighter, and a lot of emotional vulnerability), and how the show dips its toes into everything from medical bias to societal judgment to romantic logistics. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or just nosy, Aidan and Noah serve their trademark commentary on the mess, the meaning, and whether Polyfamily is here to start a cultural shift or just stir the pot.

A dolla still makes Alana holla. This week's deep dive is Lifetime's I Was Honey Boo Boo, the dramatized retelling of child pageant queen Alana Thompson's rollercoaster ride through fame, family dysfunction, and growing up on reality TV. Aidan and Noah break down the made-for-TV moments—from the early Toddlers & Tiaras days to Mama June's scandals, custody battles, and Alana's hard-earned attempt to reclaim her narrative. With great casting, perfect voice work, shocking reenactments, and Lifetime's signature trauma-forward tone, the film tries to strike a balance between exploitation and empathy. The hosts ask: Does it work? Does Alana really get to tell her side? And how does the movie stack up against the real-life spectacle we all remember? From generational trauma to college girl redemption arcs, the hosts give their trademark comedic commentary on one of reality TV's most infamous families and Lifetime's innovative docu-biopic offering.

Is it therapy? Is it television? Is it both? Noah and Aidan love watching reality shows you're curious about but may not want to invest actual time in. This week, the duo dives deep into VH1's *Family Therapy with Dr. Jenn* (2016) which was a chaotic, emotional, and often unhinged experiment in televised healing similar to Couples Therapy or Marriage Boot Camp. From Tiffany “New York” Pollard and Sister Patterson's mother-daughter warfare to Bam Margera's post-Jackass unraveling, the show brings together celebrity family units for group therapy sessions that are part breakthrough, part spectacle. Aidan and Noah unpack the show's wildest moments, the surprisingly touching sibling arcs, and Dr. Jenn's signature therapy techniques (including rage rooms, bracelet affirmations, and emotional photo analysis). They also address the shows' lukewarm ratings, its place in VH1's golden age of reality TV, and whether anyone actually got healed.

Noah and Aidan love watching reality shows you're curious about but don't want to invest actual time in. This week's culprit is Love Hotel on Peacock — a romance reality show that gathers four Bravo veterans under one roof in the name of love. Ashley Darby (Real Housewives of Potomac), Luann de Lesseps (Real Housewives of New York), Gizelle Bryant (RHOP), and Shannon Beador (Real Housewives of Orange County) check into a luxury retreat to flirt, compete, and maybe even connect with a lineup of age-appropriate bachelors. Aidan and Noah dive into the first two episodes, breaking down everything from the chaotic casting of the bachelors, the chemistry between the Housewives and the beautiful backdrop that is Cabo. There's talk of surprising emotional moments, if this format can handle a sequel and whether this show actually lets these women thrive or just packages them for another round of televised heartbreak. If you've been wondering whether Love Hotel is worth checking into, Aidan and Noah have your back.

Spoilers begin at 34:00 — stop there if you want to experience the show spoiler free. Noah and Aidan love watching reality shows you're curious about but don't want to invest actual time in. This week, they tackle Got to Get Out on Hulu — a new twist on the “escape the room” format that traps some of reality TV's most polarizing personalities under one roof. The cast includes Omarosa (The Apprentice), Spencer Pratt (The Hills), and Real Housewives alums Kim Zolciak and Cynthia Bailey (Real Housewives of Atlanta), all trying to outsmart each other (and the producers) to escape a mansion with raggedy stairs and win the prize pool which went up to $1,000,000. Aidan and Noah break down the format of the show and how it's unlike anything they've seen in the reality landscape, dive into the cast which takes a subtler approach to the reality television supercast, the tension built on the show, and how it's the perfect reality show for a streaming network.
