[00:30] The Dementia Wars (50 minutes) The media is praising Joe Biden for his impressive mental powers while claiming that Donald Trump is losing his mind. However, the evidence is clear which president is really struggling with cognitive decline. At the end of Biden and Barack Obama's star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles, Obama had to lead Biden away when he became confused. Meanwhile, the New York Times said the quiet part out loud when it stated, “The Resistance to a New Trump Administration Has Already Started.” [50:30] Feedback (5 minutes)
Debbie Matenopoulos steps Behind The Rope. So much has been written about Debbie's time at The View, exit from The View and working relationships with her co-hosts but Debbie is here today to set the record straight regarding all of that. Debbie chats about what it was like to be twenty two and personally invited by Barbara Walters to audition for a career changing job on a show that would go on for twenty six seasons and counting and become not only a culture defining hot topics go to but a piece of pop culture iconography which has been the subject of much controversy throughout the decades. Debbie chats co-hosts Barbara Walters, Star Jones, Meredith Viera and Joy Behar, the book Ladies Who Punch, what the backstage atmosphere was really like and many of The View's famous co-hosts since - Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Rosie O'Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, Jenny McCarthy, Candace Cameron Bure and last, but certainly not least, Meghan McCain!

And that kind of self belief I have, saved me.I don't think I'm better than anybody else, or I'm a superwoman or any of that. But I do know that the stuff I do, I can do, and I'm good at it.

Welcome back to another Reject or Renew where everything's made up and the numbering of episodes doesn't matter.

Today we cover the Big Mouth of DC properties, the Harley Quinn animated series to close out our Ladies Who Punch series. Join us for Trevor's stress dreams, Little TJ in a Can, and (shudders) … Mr. Whiskers.
Sally Jessy Raphael steps Behind The Rope. Icon in the Flesh. The first female host to have a syndicated daytime talk show. With her Iconic red glasses in tow, we chat with Sally about the full extent of her career. A career which began in radio and spanned several decades leaving a permanent mark and having created the landscape of daytime TV. Sally opens up about her best and worst guest, the topics she loved and did not love talking about, all of the celebrities she has interviewed, the cultural significance of being “the first" and just how much the industry has changed over the years. Speaking of being “the first”, we chat with Sally about some of the others she has paved the way for - Oprah (yes, we chat about the Meghan and Harry sit down), Ellen (yes, we chat about her mean girl reputation and the loss of 1 million viewers as a “supposed” result), Wendy Williams (and all she is going through), Drew Barrymore (newbie) Kelly Clarkson (is it an easy transition for actors and singers?), and last but certainly not least, Miss Bethenny Frankel (well, that was short lived.). Of course, we chat with Sally about The View - all the rumored back stage infighting, “Ladies Who Punch”, Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Kelly & Ryan. Since we have an Icon in our presence, we discuss the late night talk show scene such as Daddy Andy Cohen's WWHL and Joan Rivers' infamous short lived stint. Remember we mentioned those iconic red glasses, we chat with Sally about the origins of her trademark look, how many pairs she actually has, does she ever go out incognito, and whether she ever tires of them. An unbelievable trip down memory lane with the pioneer herself, Miss Sally Jessy Raphael. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: NATIVE - www.nativedeo.com/velvet (20% Off Your First Order.

Hang tight because this was a long one. Kolbi got drunk and f*cked up the audio at the end...but this week's weekly segment was "The Recap Bookclub" where we read "My Sister the Serial Killer" by Oyinkan Braithwaite. Andy chose the book for November and it's called "Ladies Who Punch" by Ramin Setoodeh. Lastly...Kolbi showed a very obscene video near the end of the podcast and followed it with a picture. This is what we were laughing at for a good 5 minutes. Here are the links. View at your own risk. 1. Fangs - klbgry.com/recap41 (NSFW) 2. I honestly can't even show the picture here...but listen to context clues and look up beef curtains.

Ramin Setoodeh is the author of the NY Times best seller “Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View. The book landed on the New York Times' Bestseller list within its first week of release. Ramin shares his behind-the-scenes work he did to write this look at this long-running day time show that started with Barbara Walters.
“When Barbara Walters was in her 30s and 40s, her father was a nightclub owner and he gambled away his family’s fortune on these investments and as a result of that, Barbara was always very conscious of money and always very afraid that her fortune could disappear one day.” That’s Ramin Setoodeh, our guest today, talking about the one and only Barbara Walters, creator of The View. Ramin is the author of Ladies Who Punch. It’s a brand-new book that takes a deep dive into the personalities behind The View. If anyone here listening is a fan of The View, or once upon a time watched it, this episode is for you. Ramin’s book has become an instant New York Times bestseller, despite initially being rejected by publishers over 20 times. Can you believe that? You heard him talk a little bit about some of the financial fears that Barbara Walters harbors. Ramin went deep with this book looking at how The View came to be, the surprising rejection that The View received in the beginning of Barbara Walters’ pitch, as well as the behind the scenes of how some of the co-hosts handled the drama that ensued being on The View. Ramin also provides his own personal experiences with money, growing up the son of immigrants and climbing up in the world of news. He is an award-winning journalist and the New York Bureau Chief for Variety. Ramin was formerly a senior writer at News Week and he’s also written for the Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times and many other publications.
