    This episode is packed with major headlines. We're discussing Alex Cooper's pregnancy announcement and what this next chapter could mean for the Call Her Daddy host and media mogul. Then we're diving into the internet frenzy surrounding Alix Earle after her mysterious Malibu Starbucks date was finally revealed.

    Over in the Bravo universe, we're recapping Summer House Reunion Part 2, unpacking the biggest confrontations, lingering questions, and where the cast may stand moving forward. We also share our thoughts on the premiere of The City and whether the iconic reality series revival lives up to the hype.

    Of course, we have to talk about The Valley. From relationship drama to questionable behavior, we're discussing the latest episode and why Danny Booko has viewers talking.

    Finally, we're covering the shocking murder-suicide that recently shook Houston's River Oaks community and discussing the details surrounding the tragic story.

    You might have seen my cycling around the news, which is crazy its happened 3 time this year......but yes, that was me on KPRC and Inside Edition for being held in the stockroom of my local HEB while there was a gunman in the parking lot on Cinco De Mayo. All ended up being good and everyone was safe due to the fast action of HEB! PS. I'm still waiting for a call for my partnership...

    I'm joined with Alyssa Polinsky who is not only a fashion girlie and your favorite bravo astrologer, but also an author! Pre-order her new book Styled by the Stars at all major retailers!

    We breakdown the Summer House Reunion Part 1 and In The City.
