This week Aidan and Noah look into one of the most prolific Real Housewives of New York: Bethenny Frankel. They start off by taking a step back to where it all began for Bethenny on reality television - Martha Stewart's The Apprentice. The hosts discuss how Frankel's personality and quick wit helped her stand out on the show, leading to her being cast on The Real Housewives of New York. From there, the hosts focus on Frankel's numerous failed spinoff shows, including Bethenny Getting Married?, Bethenny Ever After, and Bethenny & Fredrik. They also discuss her more recent endeavors, such as Money Court and A Big Shot with Bethenny on HBOMax, which failed to gain the traction that her previous shows had. Aidan and Noah examine the reasons behind Frankel's lack of success in her spinoffs, including her personality clashes with other cast members and the oversaturation of her brand in the reality television industry. They also explore how her tumultuous personal life may have impacted her professional career. This is a good one notetakers!
With all of this nostalgia floating around the BravoVerse these days, we couldn't think of a better Bravolebrity to have join us than "Fan Favorite" Julie Plake McMinn. You know Julie Plake, The “Coordinator of Chaos" from the Iconic Bravo shows “Bethenny Getting Married” and “Bethenny Ever After.” Checking in from her home in Pittsburgh, PA, with husband and 3 kids in tow, Julie takes us back to the beginning. She moved to New York City basically overnight on a whim when she got a job offer to work at a series of famed New York City magazines. It was at one of those magazines, Hamptons Magazine, that she met Bethenny Frankel, who was hired to cook a brunch at Julie's boss' house. Julie was sent to be Bethenny’s Sous-chef for the day. In typical Bethenny fashion, Julie was thrown right into the job never having been asked by Bethenny of her qualifications or experience in the kitchen. They bonded. After that brunch, Julie said to Bethenny, (1) you are going to be famous and (2) when you are, call me and I will come work for you. News flash. Bethenny did become famous. Very famous. Another news flash. Julie did end up working for her, as seen on Bethenny’s two blockbuster Bravo shows. Julie takes us on her journey of working for Bethenny during the start, rise and sale of the Skinny Girl Empire. She bestows us with the wisdom she learned from Master B herself, what a typical work day looked like, what it was like to film a hit Bravo TV show, the decision to ultimately leave the B, and what that conversation looked like. Julie was also there for the beginning of Bethenny’s relationship with Jason Hoppy, which we dissect. We chat with Julie about recent developments in Bethenny’s life - a hit Podcast, brand new apprentice style show “Big Shot With Bethenny” and engagement - Paul Bernon we are looking at you, as well as in her own life - new business “The Learning Match” which helps connects parents to the educators they need and ongoing "JPM Branding and Consulting” where she shares the wisdom she learned from the best business man, woman, anything we know, Bethenny Frankel, with the rest of the world!!! Sign us up! Thank you Julie for stopping by and entertaining our many never ending questions on all things B!!

This winter, the planets aligned and miraculously made "Bethenny Getting Married?" and "Bethenny Ever After" available in the US and UK, on Peacock and Hayu respectively. Beautiful meme creator Joe Gunn joins Molly Mulshine to talk all things Bethenny and her ill-fated solo reality venture. This episode will leave you saying, "Wow, Bethenny, wow."
While we enjoy our holidays (and we hope you are too!), we are giving you a sneak peek into what we will be recapping over on Patreon: Bethenny Ever After!We are so excited to take this journey with you of Bethenny Ever After (?). Since we made the mishap of watching Season 2, thinking Season 1 was out in the ether, we recapped both of the first episodes from each season. FYI, Season 1 is listed as Bethenny Getting Married. (You can watch this on Peacock for FREE.99!) We need to know when Jason turned, because honestly, we were loving him in these episodes. Perhaps more than Bethenny loved him? Can you believe we all spent an hour a week watching her? Love her or hate her, she is our Bethenny. Wild times... Come judge with us and happy holidays to you all!We also want to thank all of you for keeping us together in what has been a truly crazy year. TJG has always been a fun outlet to escape reality and laugh at Bravolebs together and its been so amazing to have a community of like-minded jurors.

From 2010: Give "Real Housewives" star Bethenny Frankel her due: she knows how to build a brand and milk it for everything it’s worth. When life gives you or me lemons, we make lemonade. When life gave Bethenny a role on the hit Bravo series “The Real Housewives of New York City,” she made two books, a career as a natural foods chef, a bun in the oven, a fiancée and now a spin-off reality TV series, "Bethenny Getting Married?”
