"The Love Bomb & The Reckoning"

This week, we consider becoming grifters after a look into Amazon Prime’s 2-part docuseries "RomCon: Who the F**k is Jason Porter?" - a masterclass in love bombing, life coaching scams, and suburban con artistry. We examine Heather’s whirlwind romance-turned-true-crime saga: from meet-cute to financial fraud, with pit stops at fake Italian vacations, shady business moves, and a suspicious amount of missing jewelry. We break down Jason’s playbook of manipulation, the women who tried to warn each other, and the trail of lies that ends in court cases and journalist exposés.

"Season 2 Reunion"

This week, we recap the Season 2 reunion episode, and let’s just say: the drama flowed faster than Mikayla’s coffee enemas. Demi ghosts the group (but not the group chat), Whitney burns bridges to defend her, and Jessi gets thrown under multiple buses—some driven by Marciano, some by TikTok.

We unpack it all: from #MomTok infighting and #DadTok trauma reveals, to JZ Styles color styling warfare and an incredibly awkward Dancing With the Stars reveal. There’s accountability theater, Mormon loophole logic, and enough passive aggression to fill an entire Relief Society potluck.

"Ship Happens"

Anchors aweigh and plumbing in disarray! This week, we recap Netflix’s Trainwreck: Poop Cruise—the story of the Carnival Triumph, aka the floating porta-potty that gave new meaning to “all-inclusive.”

We walk through every septic twist of the eight-day nightmare: failed systems, nonexistent plans, PR spin that smelled worse than the ship, and passengers praying over bagged poop. From the moment the engine failed to the glorious tugboat rescue, we break down how this luxury vacation turned into a literal hot mess.
