In this episode, the crew breaks down some of the wildest news stories and cultural moments. First, we react to the insane story of an Atlanta janitor who was accidentally paid $620,000 in overtime—and immediately vanished! Then, we dive into the creepy reality of AI-powered trash trucks in Dallas using FLOCK cameras to scan homes and issue fines. Are we living in a total surveillance state?Plus, the guys discuss the new male birth control "Pause Pill" (why would you want to bust inside yourself?!), the disgusting new KFC Gravy Cereal, and the rigged job market where nepotism rules. Don't miss our thoughts on the "A Different World" reboot and why Hollywood needs to stop with the reboots!
We sit down with a blunt prompt from our “Is It Okay” series: is it okay for a single woman to use birth control? What sounds like a simple yes-or-no turns into a deeper conversation about the real issue: what God designed sex and marriage for. We also name the cultural pressure, the church's growing silence, and the way “just in case” choices can quietly reshape a Christian conscience.

Can birth control trigger migraines or make hormonal migraines worse? The answer may have less to do with simply having “too much estrogen” and more to do with how your hormones rise, fall, and change over time.In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores the connection between migraine, hormones, birth control, and the menstrual cycle, including why migraine attacks may appear around menstruation or during the hormone-free days of contraception.You'll learn:
For the past 25 years, we've been hearing that male contraceptives are just a few years away. And then a few more… and then some more after that. So for something that has been in development for such a long time, what is with the hold up? In this episode, Dr. Kaylee Byers takes us through the history of birth control – from silk condoms to beaver testicles – before heading back to high school bio for a good old-fashioned male anatomy lesson. Then, urologist Dr. Premal Patel walks us through the current options for males (spoiler alert: not a lot), and endocrinologist Dr. Stephanie Page gives us the lowdown on some of the promising gels, pills, injections and other methods that could finally change the game. So hit play for some sexy science– from vasectomies, to genomics and infertility research, to reproductive equity for all. -Highlights2:18 - The wacky history of contraceptive methods7:54 - Breaking down misconceptions of vasectomies 18:29 - A gel and a frontrunner for male birth control -SourcesThe History and Future of Birth Control - Live ScienceWorld Contraception Day: 10 of history's most horrible contraceptives - BBCBreakthrough takes big step toward safe, reversible male contraception - Cornell
On this episode of Verbal Shenanigans, we sit down again with veteran actor Gregory Scott Cummins, best known as the intimidating, unblinking, and legendary Luther McDonald—Mac's ex-con dad on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Beyond Paddy's Pub, Gregory boasts a decorated 30-plus-year Hollywood career with over 100 credits, including his standout turn as Detective Robert "Crate" Moore on Bosch, iconic roles in 80s and 90s action classics, and appearances in major blockbusters like Batman Returns. We pull back the curtain on how he crafted Luther's cold-eyed glare, what it's really like working alongside Rob Mac and the Sunny crew, and the art of playing Hollywood's most unforgettable hardasses and character roles. Scott ruins a job application, Mike picks up a unique item while DoorDashing, and we wonder why people care what Ed Sheeran thinks. Another great episode!

What happens when the treatment offered to quiet your symptoms also quiets the hormonal signals you are trying to understand and working hard to support?In this episode, Louise Valentine, a leading functional health and fitness expert for perimenopausal active women and recreational runners, shares why she decided not to use birth control as a way to manage perimenopause symptoms. As an example of things to consider, she walks through her complicated health history, including periods of underfueling, overtraining, gut issues, hormone challenges, and the difficulty of navigating fragmented women's healthcare.Louise explains why she wants to address root cause factors first, such as gut health imbalances, stress, cortisol regulation, and adjusting nutrition, lifestyle, and training. She clarifies why hormone suppression therapy is not the right next step for her. You will learn the importance of tracking symptoms, asking questions about testing and scans, and understanding that what works for one woman may not work for another.Ready to become an informed participant and fierce advocate in your own care?

In this episode, Dr. Mike Hart and OB-GYN Dr. Salome Masghati examine how common hormone interventions can affect women far beyond pregnancy prevention or symptom relief. They discuss the risks and tradeoffs of different birth control options, possible effects on mood, libido, testosterone, and attraction, and why individual responses can vary significantly. The conversation then explores when to consider HRT, the roles of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, thyroid testing beyond TSH, and how shifting hormones may contribute to mast cell symptoms during perimenopause. The episode provides a practical framework for making more informed and personalized decisions about hormone care. Dr. Salome Masghati is a board-certified OB-GYN and functional gynecologist whose work focuses on individualized hormone care for women throughout their reproductive years, perimenopause, and menopause. Her approach combines symptoms, menstrual patterns, comprehensive laboratory testing, metabolic markers, and treatment response to understand each patient's complete health picture rather than relying on a single test or standardized protocol. She works with bioidentical and rhythmic hormone strategies, thyroid care, sexual wellness, and root-cause assessment, emphasizing informed choices, careful monitoring, and helping patients move beyond temporary symptom control toward better long-term health and function.

What happens when we stop viewing the menstrual cycle as an essential part of female biology and start treating it as something to suppress? In this episode, Dr. Leah Gordon and Dr. Morgan MacDermott take a deeper look at the history and culture surrounding hormonal birth control, how women came to view their cycles as inconvenient or problematic, and what can happen when symptoms like painful periods, PMS, acne, irregular cycles, or heavy bleeding are suppressed instead of investigated. They discuss the difference between contraception and treating the root cause of hormonal symptoms, fertility awareness and modern cycle tracking, potential side effects and risks of hormonal birth control, informed consent, fertility, and why individualized care matters. Most importantly, this isn't an argument that every woman should avoid birth control, it's a conversation about understanding your body, knowing your options, and making intentional decisions about your reproductive health.00:00 — Trailer & Introduction03:38 — The War on Female Biology07:05 — The History of Birth Control11:08 — Is Birth Control Fixing the Problem?13:58 — The Fire Alarm Analogy16:40 — Informed Consent & Birth Control19:21 — When Birth Control Has a Place24:22 — A Personal Experience With Birth Control30:21 — What Is “Woman Essence”?34:54 — Fertility Awareness vs. Birth Control40:10 — The Truth About the Rhythm Method41:58 — Public Health vs. Individualized Care44:42 — Can Birth Control Mask Fertility Problems?45:32 — The Potential Risks of Hormonal Birth Control47:46 — Depo-Provera & Emerging Safety Concerns49:09 — How Much Do We Really Know About Long-Term Risks?51:37 — Birth Control & Fertility: What We Know53:03 — Why Did Male Birth Control Studies Stop?53:59 — Birth Control, Responsibility & Choice56:09 — Feminism, Motherhood & the Modern Woman60:39 — Is Our Culture Designed for Mothers?63:15 — Know Your Why Before Taking Birth Control63:44 — Your Cycle Is a Vital Sign64:57 — What Real Reproductive Freedom Looks Like65:50 — Learning to Value the Female Cycle67:47 — Finding Joy in Your Womanhood71:09 — ClosingResources From This Episode:Download Dr. Leah's Free Fertility Lab Guide - https://drleahgordon.com/fertility-lab-guide-freebieJoin Womanhood Wellness membership - https://drleahgordon.com/joinPeriod as 5th Vital Sign - https://youtu.be/HIKr1R3iYKo?si=mLjYzAPYON15ArM0Preparing Body for Pregnancy After Birth Control - https://youtu.be/THaoCkFAxWk?si=787HpG-E06M4L5AqHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond
Hair loss isn't just cosmetic. It can change how you recognize yourself. So why does androgenetic alopecia happen—and can you actually stop it from progressing? And what do birth control, GLP-1 medications, supplements, wigs and hair toppers have to do with it? Hair loss can carry a psychological burden that is often underestimated. Androgenetic alopecia—also known as male or female pattern hair loss—is one of the most common forms of hair loss, affecting both men and women. Yet behind the statistics are people dealing with anxiety, depression, shame and a changing sense of identity. In this episode of Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Suran Yoo, founder of Silk or Lace, whose own experience with hair loss led her on a years-long search for solutions—and ultimately to build a human-hair wig and topper company. Together, they unpack the science, the treatments and the emotional side of losing your hair. In this episode, you'll uncover:

Planned Parenthood has been under attack in Texas for years. This has resulted in a lack of access to affordable healthcare, lack of access to birth control, and worsening maternal health outcomes. Shellie Hayes-McMahon, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Texas, which is the 501(c)(3) arm of Planned Parenthood Texas Votes, sits down to talk with us about the perfect storm of attacks to reproductive health and rights in Texas, which provides a perfect blueprint for other states who wish to follow suit. The current push at the national level centers on defunding Planned Parenthood via Medicaid. Patients who lose their Planned Parenthood provider in Texas cannot just find a new provider. In fact, the state is currently seeing a decrease in providers generally, as well as medical students. Cancer screenings, birth control provision, critical counseling, and more, are services that are becoming increasingly more expensive for Planned Parenthood to provide, while crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are receiving millions of state dollars. In Texas, public school-provided sex education is abstinence-only, while misinformation around birth control is currently skyrocketing. The nationwide attacks on mifepristone, one of the safe and effective drugs used in a medication abortion, began in Texas.

If you are a woman, there is a good chance someone handed you a prescription at 15 or 16 and told you almost nothing. Maybe it was for acne. Maybe it was for cramps. Nobody sat you down and explained that it does not only turn off your ability to get pregnant, it turns off the hormones that were building your brain. We have never followed a generation of women long enough to find out what happens when you start at 13 and stay on it until you are 35. We just did it, and we called it health care. Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Sarah Hill, a research psychologist and professor at Texas Christian University who has spent more than 20 years studying women's hormones and neuroendocrinology. She is the author of This Is Your Brain on Birth Control and The Period Brain. Her interest in the subject started personally. After more than a decade on the pill, she went off it and, within three months, felt like parts of herself were coming back online. She went to the research literature to find out why, and found a body of evidence almost nobody was talking about. This conversation covers what hormonal contraception actually shuts down, why the alternatives are less studied than most women are led to believe, and what a generation of young women walking away from it are walking toward instead. What you'll discover: What Dr. Hill noticed within three months of going off the pill, and why she went straight to the research [15:03] Why ovulation is not just about releasing an egg, and what stops when it stops [18:23] The cultural hypothesis about hormones, femininity, and how young women dress today [23:18] Why there is no such thing as a locally acting hormone, and what that means for the hormonal IUD [24:47] How synthetic progestins interact with androgen and cortisol receptors differently than your own progesterone does [30:49] The calming compound your body makes from progesterone that synthetic progestins never produce [34:19] What the research actually says about long-term birth control and fertility, including the caveat most women never hear [40:55] Dr. Hill's take on the growing number of premenopausal women being put on estrogen therapy [47:08] The percentage of healthy, regularly cycling college-age women in her lab's studies who are not ovulating, and the reason why [55:13] What we know, and mostly do not know, about starting hormonal contraception while the brain is still developing [1:01:47] The bottom line: We cannot make good decisions without good information. For an entire generation of women, the information was never on the table. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

In this mash-up episode, I'm bringing together key conversations about birth control, PCOS, PMS, and the hormonal changes women experience from their 20s through perimenopause. We unpack why birth control is so often used to manage symptoms, what it may be masking, and how hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, and cortisol all fit into the bigger picture. We also talk about the different birth control options women may consider as they get older and why the right approach can change throughout different stages of life. From painful and irregular periods to PCOS, weight struggles, low libido, anxiety, fatigue, and the transition into perimenopause, this mash-up brings together the questions women are asking and the answers they deserve to hear. Topics We Cover in This Episode: Why birth control may be masking more than you realize The hormone connection behind PCOS and weight struggles What your period could be trying to tell you Why your 30s and 40s can bring unexpected changes The connection between cortisol, insulin, and androgens When painful or irregular periods deserve a closer look How gut health and stress fit into the hormone picture Why the same treatment may not make sense at every age Tune in for the full mash-up and hear these conversations come together in one place. You may walk away with a very different perspective on birth control, your symptoms, and the questions you should be asking about your own health.

Luke brings up a topic he has been nervous to raise: does the way American Catholics apply the Church's teaching on birth control account for what happens to a person's freedom under real constraint? It's a good conversation. It's not heterodox (we promise). No need to send that email. Gomer walks through his own family's case and then through what the Church actually says about grave matter, full knowledge, and consent of the will. The conversation runs long enough that the fellas decide to finish it next episode. In This Episode: Luke's caveats before the topic: not arguing the Church's teaching, not arguing Humanae Vitae, only asking what full consent looks like when someone's freedom is genuinely constrained Gomer's own case—three miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy that almost killed Shannon, the doctor's warning that another pregnancy could kill her, and the principle of totality that had to be satisfied before a hysterectomy could be recommended The three conditions for mortal sin, and what pornography, hypersexualization, and monetary inflation do to knowledge and consent Having a lot of kids as a measure of Catholic seriousness, the people who feel judged for three or four, and the practical questions about the pill, IUDs, and abstinence Occasions of sin and why this became a two-part conversation Resources Mentioned: Catching Foxes Website Pope Francis Generation Humanae Vitae by Pope St. Paul VI Love and Responsibility by Karol Wojtyła Catching Foxes on Substack Chapters: 00:00: Intro 02:15: Rethinking the American Catholic approach to birth control 04:59: Humanae Vitae, and what is not up for debate here 07:53: Full consent, the unitive good, and when NFP does not work 10:16: Gomer's story—miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy, and the principle of totality 16:49: What mortal sin requires, and growing up in a culture of death 23:48: Settled teaching and where the Church is still exploring 31:38: The pill, IUDs, and abstinence that wounds the marriage 35:10: Psychological impairment, cultural conditioning, and mitigated guilt 50:25: The alcoholic, the crack addict, and near occasions of sin 01:01:09: IVF, the heroically moral choice, and postpartum realities 01:07:40: Unitive and procreative—von Hildebrand, Wojtyła, and splitting the conversation Produced by Saint Kolbe Studios

Can you imagine getting pregnant while on birth control? For United States Naval Officer Jordan Johnson, this rare surprise became a reality when she beat the statistical odds and conceived while her IUD was still in place. What started as a journey of unexpected joy—complete with a cross-country military relocation and a beautiful baby shower—tragically shifted just two weeks later.

Most people today understand contraception as central to women's liberation, and when the birth control pill arrived in 1960, the media thought it would usher in a sexual revolution. But a surprising number of religious Americans in the mid-twentieth century also saw contraception as part of God's plan, a tool to create happy, prosperous American families in the post–World War II era. In this episode, Fred Stella speaks with author Samira Mehta about her book "God Bless the Pill," which traces the remarkable story of how mid-twentieth-century Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish voices promoted the use of birth control and made it more accessible for many Americans. They hoped birth control methods would curb divorce rates by encouraging sexually dynamic marriages and families unstrained by “too many” children—thereby creating a postwar upwardly mobile middle class. Religious leaders also promoted this understanding of the family as tied to Cold War capitalism and encouraged neither racial nor gender equity. But then came the backlash, both from the Right—which failed to anticipate the feminist potential of contraception—and from the Left, where women, particularly women of color, sought to ensure that birth control was a tool of liberation rather than one rooted in patriarchal and racial oppression. Ultimately, Mehta offers compelling new insights into the way religion accommodates itself to social, technological, and medical change. Samira K. Mehta is an Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies and the Director of Jewish Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. Theme music "Nigal."
It's just two brief words in Billy Joel's rapid-fire historical anthem, We Didn't Start the Fire, but it represents one of the most seismic cultural shifts of the 20th century. In this episode of History Ignited, we're unpacking the invention and explosive impact of the birth control pill.Approved by the FDA in the early 1960s, the first oral contraceptive was a medical marvel that fundamentally altered the fabric of modern life. We explore how "The Pill" catalyzed the sexual revolution, transformed women's access to higher education and the workforce, and sparked intense political and social debates that continue to this day.Join us as we explore the trailblazers who fought for its approval, the science behind its creation, and the lasting legacy of the little pill that changed the world.Send us Fan MailAbout History Ignited: History Ignited is the award-winning kids and family history podcast inspired by Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire.

WHERE IS THE C*M!?! No seriously you guys that's the question we're asking today and also apparently…. men are BEGGING for this? News to me.On today's episode, I sit down with L.R. Fox, founder of NEXT Life Sciences - the man creating birth control for men among other science breakthroughs for both men and women. That's right - GET EXCITED because it's finally here. Ladies... we're almost free!!We break down Plan A—the non-hormonal male “IUD,” a hydrogel designed to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years and be reversed whenever he's ready for a baby. Boom, bam—it's baby making time. We also get into the PausePill, an on-demand birth control pill for men. Guys in relationships could take it daily, while the single lads could pop one just two hours before sex for 24 hours of protection. INSANE, RIGHT?! But perhaps not as insane as one unexpected side effect.... it may help men last longer.Ladies, forget flowers. One day, the hottest anniversary gift might be your man looking you in the eyes and saying, “Babe, you can get off birth control. I've got this.”SEND THIS EPISODE TO YOUR MAN BECAUSE HIS TIME IS COMING...

Your periods are still regular and your labs may even look “normal.” So why aren't you sleeping? Why has your mood changed? And why do you suddenly feel like a different version of yourself? In this episode of the As a Woman podcast, Dr. Natalie Crawford talks with Dr. Alicia Robbins, a board-certified OB/GYN, certified Menopause Society Practitioner, and founder of The Elm. They discuss why sleep and mood can change before hot flashes or irregular periods begin, how cycle tracking may reveal patterns, and how progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone are considered in individualized perimenopause care. They also explain the connection between fertility and perimenopause, what else should be ruled out, and how to advocate for better care when your symptoms are dismissed.

In this week's episode of The Wellness Effect, Jensen sits down with Lacey (Kira's off camping) to get into the parts of her story she doesn't usually tell. They trace her health journey all the way back to birth — a difficult delivery, years of chronic illness and unexplained symptoms as a kid, going on the pill before ever having a natural cycle, a wild university era of diet pills and toxic relationships, seven years of bodybuilding, and finally the autoimmune flare that led her to functional health. It's a raw, unfiltered look at how decades of "small" symptoms compound into bigger health issues — and how healing often starts with looking back, not just forward. KEY TAKEAWAYS Health issues rarely appear out of nowhere — Lacey's autoimmune disease was the result of decades of compounding red flags that started in infancy. Starting birth control before ever having a full natural cycle can shape hormonal health for years to come — Lacey didn't have a regular period until age 29. Extreme diet and exercise control (like bodybuilding) can mask real health issues under a "healthy" facade, and often functions as a coping mechanism for a lack of control elsewhere in life.

That mechanism is the Comstock Act, an 1873 federal anti-obscenity statute that criminalized mailing contraceptives and abortion-related materials. It has gone unenforced for a century but remains on the books. Hawk walks through how, per the call, Blanche pledged to stop physicians in states where abortion is legal from mailing medication to patients in states that have banned it, and argues the Comstock Act is the only existing statutory tool that would let him attempt it. He lays out the stakes: of roughly 1.1 million abortions in the US last year, about 65 percent were medication abortions, meaning several hundred thousand a year could be affected. Hawk notes the call was hosted by the White House Faith Office, recorded by the group Intercessors for America, and included a request for journalists to hang up. Senator Richard Blumenthal raised it before the committee vote, calling Blanche a zealot seeking to advance the president's position against reproductive rights. Hawk closes on what a nationwide effort against mailed medication, and potentially contraception, could mean.

We can't wait to experience miracles with you! Welcome to a new episode of the Future Generations Podcast! Today, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Katie Collins, a certified physician assistant, wife, and mother of (almost) three, who has become a powerful voice for parents seeking true informed consent. Katie shares how COVID, urgent care medicine, and a biased vaccine curriculum pushed her to question the system and rethink everything from birth control to childhood vaccines. In this episode, you'll hear her journey from conventionally trained PA to medical freedom advocate, her faith-driven approach to health, and how she helps parents navigate risks, benefits, alternatives, and intuition in one of the most polarized conversations of our time. Highlights: "To say every vaccine reaction is a coincidence is not just wrong medicine, it's bad medicine." "Most chronic disease isn't being fixed; it's just being managed with more and more meds." "Parents don't just need experts. They need true informed consent and permission to trust their intuition." "The pharmaceutical industry doesn't have your child's best interest at heart. You do."

She describes herself as "conventional and crunchy" because she prioritizes healthy living and supporting the body naturally, using Western medicine interventions only when necessary. After working in family medicine, urgent care, and weight loss medicine, she has transitioned to opening her own practice while also providing informed consent and education for families on childhood vaccinations, pregnancy, and more. She is a follower of Christ, a devoted wife, and a mother to two children, with her third due in October. Her mission is to bring glory to God through her work as a mother and to help other moms do the same.

For decades, women were handed a birth control prescription and sent home. Side effects were minimized. Questions were met with reassurance instead of real information. That left a vacuum, and into that vacuum poured a wave of claims that hormonal birth control is toxic, wrecks your hormones, causes infertility, and takes years to recover from. The truth? Birth control isn't as simple as "good" or "bad." It's nuanced, and nuance is exactly what the algorithm can't deliver in a 60-second video. In this episode, Dr. Natalie Crawford is joined by Dr. Fran Haydanek, a board-certified OB/GYN, residency faculty member, and one of the most trusted physician voices in women's health on social media. Together, they unpack the biggest birth control myths and viral health claims, separating what's supported by evidence from what's misunderstood, oversimplified, or simply untrue. No agenda. No fear. Just evidence-based medicine and two physicians who believe women deserve honest information to make the best decisions for their own bodies. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: * Whether hormonal birth control is actually harming your hormones or fertility * Why so many birth control myths continue to spread online * Which viral hormone claims are backed by evidence and which aren't * How different birth control methods affect fertility, PMOS, and egg freezing * What every woman should know before choosing, stopping, or changing birth control * Why better conversations with your doctor can completely change your care Whether you're choosing a birth control method, planning for pregnancy, managing PMOS, or simply trying to separate fact from fiction online, this episode will help you better understand your body and make more informed decisions with confidence. Topics covered: hormonal birth control, birth control myths, birth control pill, fertility, infertility, PMOS, post birth control syndrome, hormonal IUDs, IUD insertion pain, Depo-Provera, Nexplanon, tubal ligation, salpingectomy, egg freezing, Dutch Test, estrogen dominance, adrenal fatigue, women's hormones, reproductive health. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Why birth control misinformation spread so fast 05:13 The list of doctors who will tie your tubes 08:52 Can you get your tubes untied later? 10:13 Does removing your tubes lower your ovarian cancer risk? 11:32 Does the pill treat PMOS or just mask it? 15:40 Does the pill ruin your hormones? 17:10 Do you need to detox from the pill? 17:50 When to stop the pill if you want to get pregnant 19:30 Annual visit vs problem visit, and why it changes your care 22:05 Does birth control cause infertility? 23:15 Does the pill save your eggs for later? 27:00 Does Depo-Provera cause brain tumors? 29:47 Two doctors disagree about progestin IUDs 32:48 How patients changed IUD insertion pain 36:10 When to take out your IUD before trying 39:56 How your birth control affects an egg freezing cycle 41:50 Do blood draws cause miscarriage? 43:44 Do you need supplements for adrenal fatigue? 45:40 Is estrogen dominance real? 46:34 What is the Dutch test, and why won't most OB/GYNs order it?

The brilliant pop culture expert Farai Bennett joins me to break down all the behind-the-scenes secrets of the exclusive Love Island premier party he just attended, including how the show actually operates and the burning question: how much real intimacy is actually happening on camera? Next, we are diving deep into part two of the explosive Summer House reunion to unpack the shocking revelation that Amanda apparently knew West had a full-on girlfriend while they were hooking up. Dorit Kemsley's new book is out and I share whether I think her behavior was justified on this season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
