Lovett or Leave It

Greetings from Mamdanistan! This week, Lovett or Leave It takes a bite out of the Red Apple from Brooklyn’s beautiful Crown Hall Theater. Zohran Mamdani takes City Hall and Democrats across the country give us a reason to keep living. Ana Gasteyer flies off the handle, while David Krumholtz kvetches with the best of them. The Rant Wheel opens some eyes in the city that never sleeps, and musician Victor Jones brings us all the way home.

Democrats Rocked By Good News

This week, Trump’s got us all in a Catch-22nd Amendment, Reagan battles tariffs from beyond the grave, and Mike Johnson does what he does best: shut down. Steph Tolev and Daniel Webb drop the gavel on ChatGPT erotica and Lily Allen’s revenge album, and join Lovett to dig up the most ghoulish dating stories ever told. And we end the show like Bruce Springsteen would have wanted: by making sure our biopics cut the mustard.

Sauvignon Blanc Nationalist

Parvati Shallow on femininity and flirtation as reality TV weapons, and how the "Black Widow" moniker cast a shadow on her real-life relationships. Parvati talks about how her strange childhood informed her decision to compete on Survivor, how reality TV has evolved, and how she has evolved with it. She's been a contestant on The Traitors, Deal or No Deal Island, and five seasons of Survivor, and being seen as a vixen-coded "villain" has given her a singular look into the expectations for women on screen and off. A fascinating conversation with one of the greats. And for an even deeper look into Parvati’s story, check out her book, “Nice Girls Don't Win: How I Burned It All Down to Claim My Power.”

Forever Young Republicans

Olivia Plath joins to talk about leaving Welcome to Plathville and leaving behind the fundamentalist Christian community in which she was raised. She shares what it’s like to leave a marriage that began on television when she was very young, why as a teen she felt she needed a gun to protect against a Hillary Clinton victory, and why she decided to talk more about the anger and abusive aspects of her relationship that did not end up on TLC. Olivia has been on a journey, much of it for the world to see, and it’s given her a fascinating perspective on reality TV, on what happens to kids when their parents seek fame, and what it’s been like to grow up in one world and then choose to live in another.

In this special limited series, Lovett sits down with reality icons who helped lead a hostile takeover not just of television, but of our culture. In intimate and revealing conversations, Lovett and his guests explore the ways these shows blur the line between authenticity and performance, the compromises of putting your life on television, the reality-TV-ification of our politics, and the secrets that don't make it on screen. What have reality stars learned about themselves, about television, and about America? And what happens to a society when the only thing worse than being hated is being boring? These are the questions we are trying to answer - either here, or at the reunion.

The Real Housewives of Antifa

In our premiere episode, Lovett goes under the knife with Dr. Terry Dubrow, an icon of reality TV who has lived his life as a surgeon, husband, and father in front of the cameras on shows like Botched, The Swan and of course the Real Housewives of Orange County. You can see why Terry is considered one of the best dads and spouses in the Bravo Universe. And in this surprisingly open conversation, he also goes off on what he dreads most about filming Real Housewives, the ways housewives manufacture controversy to cling to fame, the risks of being a parent on television, and why he keeps coming back for more. Oh, and Lovett also asks him, “What kind of plastic surgery should I get?” because of course he did.

Lovett or Leave It Presents: Bravo, America! (with Dr. Terry Dubrow)

Today, the Lovett or Leave It team is off. But we’re excited to share an episode with you from one of my favorite YouTube series from the hosts of Hysteria called This F*cking Guy.

On this episode of "This F*cking Guy," Host Erin Ryan, and Crooked Media's Julia Claire dive deep into Stephen Miller's xenophobic past and obviously present. From his racist beginnings as a student, to helping implement the Muslim Ban as Trump's Senior Advisor, to his continued obsession with illegal immigrants in Trump’s second administration, this is truly one of our most depraved guys yet.

If you enjoy this episode, you can subscribe for video versions of This F*cking Guy on Hysteria's YouTube channel or by searching This F*cking Guy on YouTube or Spotify. You can also subscribe to Hysteria wherever you get your podcasts to hear audio versions of the show, now twice a month!

Thank you, Texas!
