About this episode

Melissa and Mel discuss life updates, influencer culture, and recap popular reality shows.

This week Melissa and Mel catch up on life — from kindergarten orientation meltdowns and sudden espresso addictions, to college move-ins and a beautiful wedding. Then they dive into the bigger conversation about influencer fatigue, pocket watching, and who "deserves" to ask for money online. Plus: a full Married at First Sight recap, Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion reactions, Ultimate Girls Trip first impressions. Thank You to Our Sponsors!
