Here we are at the last episode before the finale. Don't worry...there is no shortage of EXCLUSIVE tea, but it is also the perfect time to clear up all the misconstrued information being spread on Twitter, Figure out why there were 2 Vanessas at Jackie's house the day she decided to get her revenge on Teresa and why Rachel can't stop thinking about hot dogs--even while at one of New Jersey's finest steakhouses.

Welcome back! I may be flying solo dolo, but you won't find that means I am lacking opinions. This week we dive into a little of the Bennifer and JLo (inevitable) divorce, and is Ben ALREADY linked to someone? And does that someone have a VERYCLOSE link to an ex presidential candidate? I'll share my thoughts on Chappell Roan's recent comments about "superfandom" and how having fame should not mean you have to make exceptions. I also dive into how unhealthy being a "superfan" can be, especially when it borders on obsession and stalking like in the case of RHONJ and the Teresa & Louie effect. Its all here on Pop Culture with Balls! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gabriela, or @melissasoldnose on X was infamous for being a "hate account" spewing vile tweets and doing even more vile things behind the scenes for certain cast members. After coming to the realization that she was being used and manipulated, she has decided to tell her side of the story...buckle up for this one! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Talk about going out with a bang! We went from a podcast talking about Teresa's dorters in thongs to actually seeing her youngest twerking in one on a boat in Turkey, to my IG getting hacked by a lawyer who's office in AC is 2 doors down from the meth clinic...according to Marge, anyway. It was the best of times talking about the worst of times, but some good times too, and Gabriela and I couldn't have done it without our listeners. Thank you for making us an "appointment" every week! We appreciate the love and love you guys right back. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Usually, a Season Finale signifies an ending - a big finish. While I think it's pretty safe to say we got the big finish, I don't see an ending in sight, especially not after the after market editing of Teresa's latest podcast episode. After a long season that actually turned out better than most thought it would, we got a plot twist that no one saw coming as icing on the cake. Now, we wait while Bravo decides how to move forward without taking any steps backward. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Take a deep breath. Now exhale. Do you feel that? No weight on your shoulders? A clear conscience? That is definitely more than you can say for Teresa and her cult of personality. The Fuda Fail and the IG Confession were really a 1 2 punch reality check combo for them this week and its not getting better. With Teresa and Louie off to Greece for the wedding of the "fiscal year", we will be at home watching what looks like a hostage situation ithat she calls vindication and reading a 200+ page document all about Louie,...if you were lucky enough to get your hands on one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With the Season 14 Finale right around the corner, you would think things in New Jersey would be almost packed up with a pretty bow, but as we know from watching this season unfold, always expect the unexpected. This week, Krissy and Gabriela dive into Jen Aydin's DISASTEROUS (last?) Watch What Happens Live appearance and new Louie/Vinivia involving an innocent family...and is Teresa STILL giving irrelevant information on her cast mates to a blogger??? (Yes, Yes she is). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are getting down to the wire, the nitty gritty, the bitter(sweet) end of Season 14 of RHONJ. The show is back on Sunday after taking a week off so that everyone could enjoy ACTUAL fireworks, rather than what they see on TV. In this episode we discuss Jen Aydin. America's Favorite Pastime may be baseball, but for Jen, her favorite sport is calling strangers names and insulting them, and she sure has been active lately, what with her FINALLY getting the okay to grace WWHL's stage. We also talk at length about Melissa's Envy Fashion Show that I attended, with some emphasis on the atmosphere and what I saw as guest, and we also touch on Teresa's "Namaste Bitches" Podcast event that took place in the middle of nowhere, New Jersey and her drunk cohorts trying to eject people out of there seats and out of the event itself. Get ready because you are in for a wild listen! *programming note: I misspoke and called the RELEASE form from Bravo that I signed at the Envy Fashion Show an NDA - which it was not, otherwise I would NOT be speaking about it right now! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We made it! 10 Episodes actually sustaining and gaining listeners? Little ol' us? Though in all honesty, we can't take the credit when the content is SO good. Even though there is no new episode of RHONJ this week, we are certainly not at a loss for material. There are Bravocon texts, Namaste Bitches Drama and Jen Aydin in a hospital with a face full of glitter blaming her brother's mother in law for HER entitlement, not to mention throwing the word "ghetto" around with very certain implications, like it was nothing. This is a milestone show not to be missed! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Don't Start None, Won't Be None" - That's what Jen Aydin said, but after seeing last weeks episode one acronym in particular comes to mind: FAFO. Fuck Around and Find Out, and that's exactly what happened, just ask Jen. This week we will see the aftermath of the Slap Heard up and down the Garden State Parkway, which has Jen questioning Teresa's loyalty. Coming up this week will also be Jackie's book signing where Gia speaks for her mother and Fessler has NONE of it, and Danielle's Boujee Kids relaunch, fresh off her suspension...much to Aydin's dismay. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It may be 95 degrees here in Jersey, but Krissy and Gabriela are STILL serving the HOTTEST RHONJ tea! On this latest installment of Pop Culture with Balls, "A Tumbler in Tulum", they not only discuss the very anticipated scuffle between Danielle and Jen Aydin that had both of them in hot water with Bravo, but they also review last Sunday's episode FULL of failed attempts for relevance including that "gift" from Jim Leonard (& not Louie), that Krissy and Gab have been telling you about for weeks, what was supposed to be Jackie's big moment at Melissa's Housewarming, (big surprise, it wasn't), and the pivotal moment that will go down in Housewives history as the most iconic text message timing ever...lest we forget Louie and yet ANOTHER pesky lawsuit he is about to be embroiled in. All this and more on this episode of Pop Culture with Balls! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Pop Culture with Balls we spill the spoiler tea per usual, as has become our specialty. Everything from Fuda and Johnny Walker Blue at the Housewarming, to Jen and her obsession for riling up Danielle leading up to their squabble. Also, we cannot forget about Teresa looking like a deer in headlights on WWHL when Andy asked her THAT question and she and Louie's "Laundering" Services and his latest business going suspiciously bust. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Pop Culture with Balls, Krissy (who is solo dolo this week), discusses the cancellation of the Reunion, which is perhaps the toughest hand this cast has ever been dealt! Gabriela IS with Krissy in spirit however and made sure to share from her EXTENSIVE notes regarding the tea from tonight's episode regarding the Gorga's Housewarming, Fashion Week and the anticipated sit down between The Fudas and the Ruelas'. There is also the pesky matter of that $1million loan that Louie casually took out...Its all packed into this weeks' pod so sit back, have a listen and watch the show to compare notes! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we discuss so much even BEFORE we get into Gabriela's BTS episode notes, including our newest fan Roxanne, Teresa's ORIGINAL Troll who now seems to be getting our news from her new "sources close to production"...us. Gia's inclusion in the show, her IG live and it's hidden meaning ;-), we dip into Louie and Teresa's possible c*iminal activity and Twitter Tre Stumps and their absolute adoration for their "Queen". Programming Note: This episode was recorded one day PRIOR to the BOMBSHELL announcement that there will be no "traditional" reunion for Season 14, but as you know that does not negate ANY of the tea spilled and we still have more than half a season to go, so there is PLENTY more to come...Enjoy and Thanks for Listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of the award winning Pop Culture with Balls Podcast, Gabriela and I dive into another round of RHONJ Pregame Tea to talk about Bravo trying their best to big dick us. Lina at the head of the Patio Table discussing Danielle and her so called philanthropy and the annual RHONJ v. Maimonides Softball game to benefit Breast Cancer research. We also jump ahead of Bravo and their promos and into Jen and Teresa doing their best to try to take down Danielle, and we find out what Teresa said when she FINALLY spoke to Melissa on camera. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Pop Culture with Balls, Gabriela and I discuss Bravolebs that have entered the chat after finding out their names are in Teresa's mouth and how it might spurn a new clothing line courtesy of Kate Chastain (#focusonkate Activewear, anyone?), RHONJ Egos amid all this spilled tea and most importantly she answers the question of what REALLY happened at Bravocon last November between Louie, Teresa & Melissa Pfeister and the aftermath, which may or may not have spelled the beginning of the end of the Namaste Bitches partnership! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Pop Culture with Balls, Gabriela returns for a kiki about the as yet unaired 2nd episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey and all the BTS drama that took place during filming--we also blow up Teresa's "bombshell" storyline. She also teases information about Louie's Bravocon BLOWUP with Melissa Pfeister (yes, its ALL true)! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
