    Season 2, Episode 5 — S2E5


    The Winds of Change and the Whiplash of Drama


    We’re stirring the pot and updating the plot — starting with a major podcast announcement that sets the tone for what’s brewing next.

    ICE is back in the headlines, and let’s just say history repeating itself is not the kind of throwback anyone asked for. The FBI raiding a reporter’s home raises serious questions about press freedom, while the administration’s messaging continues to clash with reality. Polls suggest younger Americans may be shifting politically, and we discuss what that could mean. Plus, we take a look at the proposed tax breaks for the 2025 filing season and whether they’ll hit your wallet or miss entirely.

    The Reali‑Tea:

    Now for the mess we sip with intention.

    NeNe Leakes is officially back on Bravo — the door wasn’t just open, it was revolving. Candiace tells Carlos King she doesn’t hate Ashley “Forehead” Darby; she’s simply operating under emotional duress, your honor. RHOSLC delivers a reunion that’s equal parts frosty and fiery, and Monica Garcia has thoughts she’s more than happy to share.

    Drag Race is serving a fierce cast this season, and we’ve already seen our first queen sashay away. And to close things out on a hopeful note, we spotlight The Trevor Project and some genuinely uplifting news.

    A little heat, a little hope, and a whole lot of tea — Episode 5 pours it all.

  • Season 2, Episode 4 — S2E4 From Hard Truths to Hard Teas
    Jan 15 2026

    We begin with a comprehensive look at the week’s major developments. In Minneapolis, the investigation into the death of Rene Good continues, alongside ongoing protests, official statements, and the broader community fallout. We also cover the escalating standoff in Washington, where a former president has refused to testify before Congress, prompting contempt proceedings.

    Additional national updates include the continued delay in releasing the Epstein files as the House of Representatives takes the Department of Justice to court, renewed debate over whether marijuana and hemp could be reclassified after seven years, and the growing wave of restrictions on transgender care for minors across several states.

    The Reali‑Tea:

    Now for the chaos we sip on. The Traitors is serving shockwaves with Momma Donna revealed as a Traitor, Swifties spiraling, and Michael Rapaport becoming the most‑hated Faithful on television. Over on RHOP, the ladies are battling a house with no running water and accommodations that absolutely do not meet their standards — plus rumors swirl as two Housewives may be dating women.

    Speculation is bubbling about a potential RHOSLC spin‑off, while MAGA Minaj is catching stray commentary on Watch What Happens Live. And we close with the Married to Medicine reunion, where Dr. Heavenly is introducing a new family dynamic that has everyone talking.

    A week of heavy headlines and high‑octane drama — poured hot.

  • The Weight of the Moment Season 2, Episode 3 — S2E3
    Jan 10 2026

    We begin this episode on a more serious note. Renee Nicole Good was killed during an encounter with ICE agents in Minnesota, and we take time to discuss what happened, the community response, and the broader implications.

    Later, we examine the proposed legislation aimed at limiting President Trump’s war powers and what it could mean moving forward.

    From there, the tone shifts as we turn to pop culture. Cardi B has a few pointed words for people who owe her money, Karen from The Real Housewives of Potomac is making an early return, and questions swirl around Amanda from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and her reputation for one‑upping, attention‑seeking, and possible scheming.

    We also break down the chaotic Real Housewives of Salt Lake City finale, then speculate about the secret traitor on The Traitors.

  • Cardi, Caracas, and Chaos. Season 2, Episode 2 — S2E2
    Jan 7 2026

    The new year is already unhinged. Maduro was arrested, Venezuela’s power vacuum is giving full telenovela energy, and the rumor mill is spinning wild fantasies about annexing Cuba and even Greenland.

    Bravo is in full meltdown mode: RHOSLC is a snow‑globe of fights, breakups, and trailer‑level chaos, while RHOP and RHOA keep the drama pipeline overflowing. Canada’s Drag Race is serving northern excellence, and RuPaul’s Drag Race premieres with Cardi B, a design challenge, and — the gag — no talent show to start the season.

    We wrap with a smarter, shadier alternative to your tired New Year’s resolutions.

    Season 2 stays global, glam, and gloriously messy. Let’s sip.

  • The Ball Dropped, and So Did the Tea. Season 2, Episode 1 — S2E1
    Jan 2 2026

    We’re opening the new season of Clock the Tea with a kettle whistling so high that it's hard to find the note! Mamdani’s inauguration is here, a Heated Rivalry is bubbling up, and Drag Race returns January 2nd to recalibrate the gay universe.

    Bravo‑land is also buzzing with speculation of Nene's return and Heather Dubrow's departure from OC. Stay tuned in because we’re also breaking down the evolution of queer language — and circling back to Maga Minaj to spill the hottest, freshest, sizzling tea.


    Season 2 starts now, loud, proud, and fully caffeinated. Let’s sip!

  • Episode 10: Liars, scammers, and cheats.
    Dec 20 2025

    Episode 10: Liars, scammers, and cheats.

    In the Season One finale of Clock the Tea with Dr. Long, we’re calling out the liars, scammers, and cheats running wild across politics and reality TV like they’re auditioning for a reboot of To Catch a Predator: Clout Chaser Edition. From politicians who rewrite their own history every Tuesday to reality stars who scam with the confidence of someone who’s never been caught on camera, we’re breaking down the foolishness, the finessing, and the full‑blown fraudulence. It’s petty, it’s punchy, and it’s the perfect bow on a season full of chaos. Happy New Year — may your resolutions be scam‑free, even if the headlines won’t be.
