207. Some Wives with Some Lives: RHOSLC & RHOP w/Priscilla (@itspkav)
#207
Yesterday at 4:00 PM

Content Creator and Social Media hilarity Priscilla (@itspkav) is in The Mix with Mani to get back to their roots-- Housewives. After some quick laughs and hot takes on holiday traditions (sorry parents, but those elves...), the two comb through Salt Lake City and its many (house)wives with secret lives. From SLOMW to RHOSLC and its most recent revelations in marriages and the Boston Spill the Tea party. Of course they go over to the east coast for RHOP and the shenanigans at Pride events, Monique and her ex-husband's relevance, and Podcast events with randoms but not hosts! So...

#206
11/26/2025

What is in the snow in UTAH?!?! Kaya was scheduled to get in to The Mix to discuss Season 3 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Fresh thoughts, not so episodic, the season as a whole and all the ups and downs, editing, and production decisions. The drama was abundant and gave plenty to discuss.

BUT THEN
That dang Demi and Jessi got into it and Kaya got an answer to the question she waited two years for:
What is "Fruity Pebbles" (and how can we now unknow it). Part 1 of SLOMW before the reunion, our opinions...

#205
11/21/2025

BIG week in bravo news. Even though Selle came to The Mix to talk the new season of Selling Sunset (the good the bad the cringe), there was also some news right before recording that needed to be discussed. Then of course this new season of Selling Sunset (LA) NEEDED to be discussed and if you follow Selle on threads, you know she had big thoughts and opinions (didn't we all!) about Chelsea v Mary, Chrishell v Emma's poor choices, and the bald men behind it all. Jump back into the Mix with us!

#204
11/19/2025

The RHOP have had QUITE a cast trip to Nevis. Dinners with husband stealing, robes and notes without words, slutty* bachelorette parties without a theme, shady room assignments, and even shadier ladies. Vanessa is here from her own Reality TV Recaps to break down what has happened at BravoCon, what has happened after, and, most importantly, WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN THE P. Or in Nevis rather.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are still spreading rumors (allegedly from Lisa), yelling at each other (mainly Lisa) and deciding where they all fall in their relationships (also with Lisa). Is there merit to their arguments and reasonings for questioning her? Is Baby Gorgeous in the wrong (probs)? So many QTNA! We talk Day 2 of the yacht trip and there's a lot...
