Discussing their son’s dream of opening a strip club/car wash? Having the reunion in someone’s back yard? Yeah, me too. I’m Jen and I love watching classic reality tv. each week on this podcast, I’ll discuss old episodes of classic reality tv with a focus on the real housewives franchise. I’ll have my friends join now and then and share their opinions on our rich history. So let’s watch what happened then… and dive right in….
