This week the sisters catch up on Jo's prom and upcoming graduation, Keith Lee's inaugural FamLee Day Festival in New Orleans, and a packed weekend that included a WNBA Atlanta Dream game featuring A'ja Wilson and Angel Reese. Then they break down what the raccoons-have-knives phrase actually means before diving deep into this week's TV obsessions.On the TV front, the ladies go off on Real Housewives of Rhode Island's most chaotic scene yet -- a bullhorn, a blueprint, and a door slam that had them rewinding. They also tackle Real Housewives of Atlanta, calling out K. Michelle's confusing behavior with the oyster situation, the Blaque drama, and her bizarre Twitter energy. Plus: Kelly's stylist needs to be fired. Finally they spend serious time breaking down Couples Therapy Season 5 on Paramount, covering all four couples including Sienna and Chris's cuddling confession, Drea and Nessa's doomed romance, Jason and Marjorie's weight and sobriety breakthroughs, and Shay and Clinton's deeply nuanced autism and accountability conversation.EPISODE CHAPTERS0:00 -- Intro and Welcome1:18 -- Long Story Short: Mel's Neighborhood Kids Story17:54 -- TV Talk Begins1:05:45 -- Perfect Match Season 2 and I'm Worth It Merch1:05:59 -- Couples Therapy Season 5: Overview1:44:18 -- Closing Remarks and Sign-OffSend Your Pop The Trunk Story: https://www.speakpipe.com/gjLet's Connect on Socials:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrskevonstage/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrskevonstage-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrsKevOnStage-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/kevonstagestudios-Business Inquires: hello@mrskevonstage.comShop My Outfits: https://www.liketoknow.it/mrskevonstage

Melissa opens up about an emotional moment imagining dropping her son JoJo off at college now that he has officially enrolled. Then the ladies get into Kevin's viral moment on the Cam Newton podcast, breaking down their faith journey and why clip culture misrepresents who people really are. They address the online backlash directly, talk about what it means to have "heirloom faith," and why unsolicited opinions hit differently when real people in your life are affected. From there it's all reality TV: Secret Millionaire on Netflix, Real Housewives of Atlanta, and the absolute chaos happening in Rhode Island.Send Your Pop The Trunk Story: https://www.speakpipe.com/gj0:00 Intro0:26 Welcome & Intro0:38 Long Story Short + Sponsor Shoutouts1:42 Josiah Enrolls in College5:37 Kevin on the Cam Newton Podcast8:00 Kevin Goes Viral / Addressing the Backlash9:33 Heirloom Faith & Deconstructing Religion21:32 "I'm Built for This" - Melissa on Standing With Kevin30:34 Secret Millionaire on Netflix38:34 Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap56:14 Real Housewives of Rhode Island Recap1:04:01 OutroLet's Connect on Socials:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrskevonstage/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrskevonstage-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrsKevOnStage-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/kevonstagestudios-Business Inquires: hello@mrskevonstage.comShop My Outfits: https://www.liketoknow.it/mrskevonstage

Melissa and Melanie are back with a packed episode of Gin & Juice!We kick things off with a heartwarming story about Jo's Catholic school church retreat — and the emotional closing ceremony that had Melissa crying for an hour and a half. Then, the conversation takes a turn when tragic news hits close to home.From there, we dive into the Chili (TLC) drama — did she intentionally repost something anti-Michelle Obama, and is she a Trump supporter? Melissa breaks down the algorithm, the accidental repost theory, and what the donations actually tell us.We also get into the epidemic of AI-generated deepfakes and misinformation spreading across TikTok, Instagram, and X — including the fake Druski/Erika Kirk beef that had everyone fooled — and why these platforms need to be held accountable.Then it's a full rant on the state of hairstylists today (location in your bio, please!), followed by a deep dive into the Hulu dating show Love Overboard — and why, once again, black women were set up to fail on a reality dating show.We wrap up with quick takes on Paradise Season 2 finale, Married to Medicine reunion drama (Steve, sit DOWN), and hype for the return of Real Housewives of Atlanta.ZBiotics – zbiotics.com/GJ | Code: GJ for 15% offShopify – shopify.com/GJ | $1/month trialBask & Lather – baskandlatherco.com | Code: GJ for 20% offBetterHelp – betterhelp.com/GJ | 10% off your first monthSend Your Pop The Trunk Story: https://www.speakpipe.com/gjLet's Connect on Socials:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrskevonstage/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrskevonstage-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrsKevOnStage-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/kevonstagestudios-Business Inquires: hello@mrskevonstage.comShop My Outfits: https://www.liketoknow.it/mrskevonstage0:00 Intro1:19 Long Story Short: Joe's Church Retreat17:34 Pop the Trunk: Chili (TLC) & the Trump Allegations31:38 The Versus Battle & Druski Drama32:10 AI Deepfakes & Misinformation on Social Media35:13 Holding Platforms Accountable for Misinformation53:56 Rant: Hairstylists Need to Put Their Location in Their Bio1:03:47 Love Overboard: Intro & Show Overview1:07:00 Love Overboard: Black Women on Dating Shows1:22:09 Love Overboard: The Plank Ceremony Drama1:22:06 Love Overboard: David & Lauren's Storyline1:43:23 Paradise Season 2 Finale Discussion1:51:25 Married to Medicine Reunion Recap2:07:05 Real Housewives of Atlanta

Then Melissa shares the wild story of how she landed a dream TV opportunity... only for the whole company to get shut down hours later. We also get into Jo's college journey — he got accepted to his reach school (!) but can't seem to make a decision, so we're pulling out the pros and cons lists this weekend.Then we dive deep into the Love is Blind Season 10 Reunion: Nick and Vanessa finally showed up, Chris got all the smoke (deservedly so), Devonte skated by way too easily, Amber and Jordan's mess, and why Brie is still not the girl's girl she thinks she is. Plus — our thoughts on single parents going on marriage-focused dating shows.We also talk TikTok's algorithm getting too curated, Facebook trying way too hard to be Instagram, the Afroman trial, Love is Blind: Age of Attraction (a solid hate-watch), and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 — specifically the Taylor and Dakota chaos that takes over the final episodes.Send Your Pop The Trunk Story: https://www.speakpipe.com/gjLet's Connect on Socials:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrskevonstage/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrskevonstage-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrsKevOnStage-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/kevonstagestudios-Business Inquires: hello@mrskevonstage.comShop My Outfits: https://www.liketoknow.it/mrskevonstage

They vent about adult children who won’t fully move out, gym struggles, and why school fundraisers need to leave everybody alone. The conversation jumps from hair tension, sew-ins, and wigs to Sky Zone adventures, bedtime battles with little kids, and the very real exhaustion of parenting at every stage.Of course, they also get into reality TV mess — breaking down the latest drama on The Traitors, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion, and Married to Medicine (because whew). There’s plenty of laughing, side commentary, and “did that really just happen?” moments along the way. Plus, Melissa explains why she absolutely refuses to do her niece’s hair.As always, it’s stories, opinions, and unfiltered sister talk — just like you’d get sitting in the room with them.Timestamps:00:00 Hair struggles & gym mishaps01:07 Welcome to Gin & Juice02:23 Long story short: weekly recap03:22 Sky Zone with the kids06:20 Skating rink nostalgia11:48 Hair care, sew-ins & tension talk16:39 Cozy Earth shoutout19:55 Empty nest (with training wheels)32:14 Earnin shoutout42:15 Money stress, pennies & inflation44:19 Why everyone needs to stop asking us to round up46:31 The Traitors drama (Michael Rappaport & Colton)50:39 Traitors recap & cast chaos01:01:01 Revolve fashion finds01:04:19 RHOSLC reunion yelling (again)01:11:05 Housewives relationships & rumors01:15:21 Married to Medicine breakdown01:22:54 Wrap-up & goodbyeSend Your Pop The Trunk Story: https://www.speakpipe.com/gjLet's Connect on Socials:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrskevonstage/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrskevonstage-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrsKevOnStage-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/kevonstagestudios-Business Inquires: hello@mrskevonstage.comShop My Outfits: https://www.liketoknow.it/mrskevonstage
