Hot Takes & AI Fakes

from Scheananigans with Scheana Shay

This week, Scheana is joined by pop culture expert Gibson Johns for a very necessary debrief on the current state of reality TV. What’s not quite landing with viewers of The Valley this season? Which shows might be overdue for a casting refresh? Did Bravo fumble The Golden Life? And what does the future look like for franchises like Summer House and SLOMW? Plus, can MomTok actually survive the recent exodus of moms? Elsewhere, Scheana and Gibson give their unfiltered opinions on this year’s Met Gala carpet: who slayed, who fell short, who was “giving vendor,” and what was even real after all of the AI dupes tricked both of them online. With Blue Ivy Carter making her Met debut, will Kim Kardashian have her hands full trying to keep North West off the carpet next year… or trying to get her on it? And speaking of having your hands full, Scheana reveals that she and Brock have expanded their family by three… kittens. The names are revealed in the episode, but first: how exactly did Brock ruin the name “Lychee” for Scheana forever? Oh — and Scheana finally released her EP! Head wherever you stream music to listen, and tune in to hear the surprisingly emotional role Lance Bass played in making the project even more special. Follow us: @scheana @scheananigans Co-Host: @gibsonoma Purchase your very own copy of the NYT Best-selling book/audiobook MY GOOD SIDE at www.mygoodsidebook.com! Episode Sponsors:Shop at REVOLVE.com/GOODASGOLD and use code GOODASGOLD for 15% off your first order. #REVOLVEpartnerGet prepped for patio season for way less.
