The fact that you love the housewives makes me love you even more if that's possible. And for me Potomac right now is my favorite, with Beverly hills a very very close second
As someone who lives at the Jersey shore and spent a lot of time in seaside back in there not so sober days haha, I can tell you that's the kind of thing that happens there or at least used to before superstorm Sandy and they cleaned it up.. a lot of people around here didn't like it because they thought it made New Jersey look bad. But I can attest to the fact that that's how things went down there, it wasn't the kind of place you brought your entire family so to speak
Ah the housewives. Glad you had such a fun fan girl moment 😂 In the fog of early parenthood, I watched a lot of all the housewives shows. Also, my mom LOVED it, so it’s one of the shows I’ll watch to feel a little closer to her since she died 🧡 I believe her faves were Potomac, Beverly Hills and NJ.
Omg, I loooove Potomac! Just like you and Sofia, I started binging Potomac during Covid lockdown and was hooked! Peacock has been my most watched streaming service for quite some time now.
If you already haven’t, Housewives of Dallas was another one I binged and was surprised how entertaining it was! Also, The Traitors is soooo good and has some Housewives on it! Phaedra Parks is everything on that show!
I would probably explode if I ever got to go to Bravocon. I don’t think my brain could handle it, haha.
I totally agree! The winner of the first season deserved it, since they did exactly what you were supposed to do! Easier to say because I wasn’t on the show, but I don’t think I would have reacted that way……but who knows?!
Wait, you’re going to BravoCon?? Lol my 10 year old calls the Housewives “the show where the ladies scream at each other all the time” as he rolls his eyes. I call it junk food tv, delicious! 😋
That’s so exciting. I myself am a fan of NJ and BH. However, I am a HUGE fan of Vanderpump Rules. When I was in LA for your show in August we went to TomTom and met Tom Schwartz and Sandoval (eww) lol. I was so excited. Tom Schwartz was so incredibly nice and he was so handsome in real life. He hugged me longer than I episode expect a stranger to hug you haha. I also went to eat at SUR. It’s fun to immerse yourself into someone else’s reality who is so different from you.
Thanks for posting! Is there a way you could do a video and an audio next time?
(Me editing- sorry, another long one! I could talk dogs for hours!)
Dogs, a topic I could go on endlessly about. Wow, 2020 is when you got Georgia, so she’s turning 4 this year? Time flies!
Getting Grover changed my whole world, except, (thank goodness) he wasn’t/isn’t a puppy! He was rejected from the seeing eye dog program after doing nearly the whole thing, because he got too excited with other dogs. Now he’s with me, my assistance dog some of the time and a happy pet dog the rest of the time, much more his speed. I acknowledge how lucky we were to get Grover, and I love how respectful he is of things like knowing not to jump up on the dinner table and respecting our food, things that may seem easy but keep in mind he’s a Labrador! He was only 14 months when we got him so there was, of course, a few bumps, he chewed threw a couple pairs of my favourite jeans and so many underpants at the start before we realised he needed more mental stimulation, and being a young dog he still likes to test the boundaries, but we are so lucky!
Having said that, with the place my mental health was in at the time (and is, to a certain extent still in) I wouldn’t have been able to handle a puppy. Not to mention over the course of the months we were trying to get him, we applied for 10 other dogs before we got a reply.
As I’ve started looking into getting a puppy for next year, as a sibling for Grover, I can recognise the differences though. Not to mention the stories I’ve heard from the dog community that we’ve built up, about their dogs as pups. I’m hoping by next year I’ll be in a much better place and ready to start to tackle saving for a puppy. There’s so much to save for! Jeez! Vet bills, beds, toys, food, leads, collars, etc.
while I could go on forever about dogs, I’ll move onto the other part I planned to mention. I know next to nothing about real house wives, but I’ve never been super into reality tv shows so I haven’t tried it. I do however get what you mean about wanting a light escape sometimes. I still watch shows that are probably intended for middle school aged kids, for the reason of wanting a contrast from a lot of the other dark shit I watch/go through. If you’re way of escaping from the world isn’t hurting yourself, or others, then who am I or anyone else to judge. I don’t like to judge other people’s escapes from the world, we all need to do it sometimes.
Can I just say, I just looked up Candice (the girl in the pic with you) and laughed when I saw part of her last name. One of my favourite dog breeds (one of the ones I want to get in the future), is called a basset hound. And part of her last name is basset! 😂. So it all ties in!
I felt for you when you quoted the ‘bye Sara’ toward the end. I wouldn’t know, but it probably felt really good but also kind of shit? (An acknowledgment, but to the wrong twin).
Unfortunately, if I post a video I can't post audio. There are some limitations of Substack I can't change. Sometimes I have to choose! And I really wanted to share that video. :)
ANOTHER PUPPY! You're brave. Although sometimes I'm like...should WE? LOL
PS: it’d be great if you could outline the differences between upgrading to the ‘loners club’ tear level and just being a paid subscriber? What I really want to know is, will we still get zooms too? (They just get an extra on the same day?). I’m going to keep asking this question until eventually I get an answer, not to be annoying just to make sure you see it.
Ok, are you sure about the zoom? Because last time there was a substack zoom there was two, one for the higher tear and one for all the paid ones. And I still get paid content like when T&S share demos or acoustic stuff.
Yes only loners club get the zoom, if you log out and go to the sign up page as if you were going to be a new subscriber it tells you what each tier gets, only the $150 loners tier has the zoom not crossed out.
These are new tiers so I’d consider things to be different then they were before. Plus the t-shirt club Zooms were different.
Tiers
•free - unlocked content
•$6 -paid content. WDTGG
•$60 - Paid content. WTDGG
•$150 Loners, formerly Founders, that has all the perks listed in the substack Sara did in the announcement. And what the person stated above.
Zooms so far as we know are for The Loners club as it was initially for the Founders. There has not been an update stating otherwise. I hope that clears up your question.
There are so many housewives shows that I just wouldn't know where to start 😂 That's so cute that Georgia has a show she relaxes to with you 🥰 For our two girls, Ru Paul's Drag Race is the one show that gets their attention, & they actually sit and watch it sometimes! They aren't too bothered about anything else, although our youngest does growl at every single animal she spots on the TV 🫠 Is there anything that Georgia doesn't like TV-wise? xx
losing my mind at this—I LOVE rhop, it’s the only housewives franchise I watch but I watch it religiously. I met Ashley Darby at an event in dc last year and she was SOOO nice and was so thrilled when I commented on her “pride” rainbow heels (guess I looked gay?)!
love this!!! my roommate got me into bravo a few years ago with atlanta and potomac (will always be my favorite since i'm from maryland and love googling every restaurant or store they go to).
and in turn i deep dived into most of the other housewives and got him to watch the rest with me. there are so many housewives who sing but candiace and kandi are the Singers so i love that it's her you ran into!
I got hooked on married at first sight Australia last year,sometimes you need a no brained to watch lol.Have to say my dog is quite chilled watching Greys anatomy at the moment ,she just turned 9 months so her taste might change as she grows up 😁.
watching reality tv is a must tbh it relaxes me like no other tv show
same! 😂
Lol. Great story…Sara. 😉
The snapshot of Georgia giving you a big lick on the face tells me everything about your dog mom capabilities. Ya did good. 😊
We also like the mindless fun shows at the end of a long day. There are so many good shows out there but you really have to focus.
For me, it’s Kitchen Nightmares or anything Gordon Ramsay. I think I would squeal if I saw him IRL, too. We get you.
Glad you’re unharmed from the deluge and home safe (I assume?)
yes, we luckily missed the worst of the storms.
The fact that you love the housewives makes me love you even more if that's possible. And for me Potomac right now is my favorite, with Beverly hills a very very close second
same.
Awesome 👍🏻😎
Tegan do you watch Jersey shore cause you seem like that kind of guy
LOL. I haven't. Should i?
Is it too late now? I’ve maybe seen two eps but I feel like the era of you back then would have def liked it. Tap into that if you try haha.
😆

💛💛💛
Well now I don't feel so bad admitting that I watched the entire original RHONY during the first 6 months of covid.
I mean, we went back and caught up on all seasons of the four we watch. sofia is desperate for me to watch vanderpump now too.
you HAVE to. and if you're gonna do that, you might as well add Summer House (and Winter even though it's been put on pause)
My dog looks like Georgia in the video...always on her back....means they're happy :-)
I get it about the show....I watched all seasons of Shameless. Now I'm rewatching House M.D.; any show with sarcasm in it will do :-)
I love Shameless. Watching The Bear? We just binged both seasons on our vacation. So good!
Not available (yet) in my country. But will look into that when it's playing; thank you for the tip ;-)! Jeremy White is awesome.
Omg, I loooove Potomac! Just like you and Sofia, I started binging Potomac during Covid lockdown and was hooked! Peacock has been my most watched streaming service for quite some time now.

I would probably explode if I ever got to go to Bravocon. I don’t think my brain could handle it, haha.
Ok. maybe i'll try dallas next.
WE LOVE Traitors. Season one though...WTF, everyone was so whiny about losing. COME ON!
I totally agree! The winner of the first season deserved it, since they did exactly what you were supposed to do! Easier to say because I wasn’t on the show, but I don’t think I would have reacted that way……but who knows?!

I am going to try yeah. I have it marked off on our calendar for T&S. LOL
Fun!

I gotta get into it.
You do.
I love vanderpump,it's so trashy but I just can't stop watching it lol 😂
Same. I LOVE it. I’ve watched from the beginning. I love Katie’s style and I love Tom Schwartz no matter what anyone says lol
They do seem the most normal of the couples on the show,no spoilers on the new season not seen it yet 😀
It comes on tonight. The 3rd episode of the season.
That’s supposed to say would not episode lol

START WITH POTOMAC!
losing my mind at this—I LOVE rhop, it’s the only housewives franchise I watch but I watch it religiously. I met Ashley Darby at an event in dc last year and she was SOOO nice and was so thrilled when I commented on her “pride” rainbow heels (guess I looked gay?)!
WHOA!!! I like Ashley but I'm more of a Robyn fan. I bought her hats when she started her hat line. LOL
I also LOVE Robyn and seriously regret not buying one of those hats!!
also…..what are your thoughts on Juan?
love this!!! my roommate got me into bravo a few years ago with atlanta and potomac (will always be my favorite since i'm from maryland and love googling every restaurant or store they go to).
and in turn i deep dived into most of the other housewives and got him to watch the rest with me. there are so many housewives who sing but candiace and kandi are the Singers so i love that it's her you ran into!
I got hooked on married at first sight Australia last year,sometimes you need a no brained to watch lol.Have to say my dog is quite chilled watching Greys anatomy at the moment ,she just turned 9 months so her taste might change as she grows up 😁.
I think I have to draw the line at Married at First Sight. Or am I wrong?
Definitely worth a watch ,some are better than others,I like the one's with all the drama ,give it a go 😁.
popping in to say I haven’t seen married at first sight (yet) but I HIGHLY recommend 90 day fiancé
That’s so cool! And I completely get it. We all have one show that we watch, that just does it for us, and just chills us out!! ☺️
Adorable, seeing that video, of you and Georgia watching it together.
PS Nothing better, then meeting one of your favs too! ❤️
