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 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
