  • PCAP: Margaritaville Profit Share
    Feb 8 2026

    This week, Jess and Daisy are drowning in must-watch reality TV, and honestly, what a great problem to have. They kick things off with breaking Bravo news out of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, debate whether the franchise is finally fun again, and casually shatter a few illusions about DJs along the way.

    Over in Summer House, the hosts celebrate the long-awaited return of the Hamptons crew and why this cast still knows how to party better than anyone else on Bravo. Meanwhile, Beverly Hills delivers a shockingly solid episode (miracles do happen), and this episode of Southern Charm may have been a filler episode, but with Sally and Austen circling each other, next week is gonna be good (not to mention Whitner's casual Jimmy Buffet connection).


    And because the Bravo gods were feeling generous, Chef Ben is back in the galley on Below Deck, even if he's a patronising ass. If you love Bravo, reality TV drama, behind-the-scenes tea, and sharp takes with zero patience for nonsense, this episode has everything.

  • PCAP: Rich Food, Hot Heads
    Feb 1 2026

    This week, Jess and Daisy tackle the mess that is Amanda from Beverly Hills, break down why Amanda's tactics feel so manipulative, why she keeps weaponizing tragedy to dodge accountability, and why Boz is the only one who can actually call her out. On Southern Charm, the only story is Craig destroying on Austen at his birthday dinner. Is Craig a bully or just a terrible drunk, whether this friendship can recover, and what happens to the show if they can't get their shit together.

  • PCAP: Haunted Opium Beds
    Jan 25 2026

    This week, Daisy and Jess debate a very important question: would you rather have a friend you have to walk on eggshells around, or a shameless shit-stirrer? On Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Sutton vs Jennifer Tilly becomes the perfect case study in fragile friendships, with Kyle Richards doing what Kyle does best. We also get into the “Amanda problem,” why her tactics feel manipulative.


    Then it’s onto Southern Charm, where the same theme plays out with even messier consequences. Finally, we wrap on the only storyline that truly matters: Shep’s haunted opium bed coffee table.
