On the RHONY finale, Ubah emerged as the season’s superhero - she said/did/wore everything right! Ubah’s hot takes were the saving grace in an otherwise bitter bowl of Erin & Sai soup. Also, Jessel finally came to play and, while Sai may be “the hungry one,” tonight it was Jessel who ATE! Now blow out the candles on your Nancy Drew cake, cut yourself a nice corner piece with lots of frosting, and enjoy it with this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

As Ramona & Margee reflect on the RHOC Reunion episodes, Margee tries to curb her cussing, Ramona fears the Gunvalson Portal, and both ladies award themselves (i)PhDs! They also weigh in on the cast’s neon-pastel-ice-cream-esque color story, and break down the inaccuracy of the notion of a “bony vagina” and the hilarity of the declaration, “It’s too vagina.” So put on your best blue smokey eye and let’s send out this season of Orange County in style on this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

**NOTE:  This episode was originally posted on 10/2/2023. It showed up in some listeners' feeds, but not for all. We're reposting just in case you didn't catch it last week.**
We take a detour from RHOC this week to visit New York and, while Frank Sinatra may have wanted “to be a part of it,” Ramona & Margee did not! Erin gave us the ick. Sai was a sourpuss. And Jessel’s sex life storyline - like her sex life - was a snooze.  Grab your leftover macarons to munch on as Ramona & Margee break it all down for you in this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

The RHOC season finale felt like a Sponcon/product-placement-palooza! Shannon pitched her butt fountain. Tamra hawked current CBD and future dildos. And Cirque du Soliel suspiciously “inspired” Gina’s circus party. And it was yet another episode spent figuring out who called who a “loser” at BravoCon. Ramona & Margee’s feelings about that storyline can be best expressed in this Heather Dubrow quote: “You are laboring under the misconception that I give a shit.” Thank god/booze for Taylor showing up to the Cirque (#ad) party as a drunken sack of Cotton Candy, giving us some comic relief, and surely birthing a new meme of her housing that ice cream cone the way Scooby Doo wolfs a sandwich. Now, please cut your hair elsewhere first, and then come back in the kitchen to join us for A Therapeutic Dose!

S1E18: RHOC - Full Hyp-s

Thursday Sep 21, 2023

Thursday Sep 21, 2023

On RHOC this week, Heather threatened to leave Mexico, to which we say, “Don’t threaten me with a good time!” Shannon managed to make vacation joyless & annoying. And four white, blonde women gave a disconcerting salute to a Shaman. There were redemption moments for our villains! Of course they were brief & fleeting, and they all quickly returned to full-hypocrite stasis. Ramona & Margee also touch on HR, DUIs, and Diegos. So, it's time to call a functionally depressed friend, stay on the phone with them as they put toothpaste on their toothbrush, and enjoy A Therapeutic Dose!

S1E17 RHOC: Amigas Fatigue

Thursday Sep 14, 2023

Thursday Sep 14, 2023

On RHOC this week, the Tres Alcoholics reunite to piss themselves, cry about nothing, test the limits of their livers, and test the limits of Ramona & Margee’s patience! Other takeaways from Mexico include: Heather’s “gift” was a trash box full of trash; Vicki has gone a facelift too far; Tamra is mean; Water aerobics is hard; and Heather needs to take Snuffleupagus’ name out of her mouth. Now, grab your mini, monogrammed Mexican blanket and Snuggle-up-with-us for A Therapeutic Dose!

The Orange County housewives give us a drunken luncheon at Vea (where cotillion is held, of course) and a ridiculous dinner on a beach in Mexico. Heather gets pissy at both meals. But, to quote Ramona’s sister, Dominga, “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the Fireside.” While the Dubrows continue to be virtue-less phonies, Ramona & Margee did find some mental health bright spots among the housewives to shine a light on this week! So, pull up a Sit-olinic, “eat your fucking food and shut up,” and enjoy A Therapeutic Dose!

Like the gym of the same name, this week’s Real Housewives of Orange County SHREDZ! Everyone showed up as highly-concentrated versions of themselves and put all their lunacy on parade. Heather is at her greediest. Tamra is at her annoying-est. Shannon is at her martyr-i-est. John Janssen is at his scratchiest. And, even in the briefest phone cameo, Teddi is at her boring-est! From Terry attempting to Cabbage Patch, to Shannon unraveling at a Pumpkin Patch, Ramona & Margee had a heyday analyzing everyone’s behavior in this week’s A Therapeutic Dose.

Friday Aug 25, 2023

On RHOC, Shannon unravels at her fiesta venue as cast members call, text, and come by to cancel, because her friendship is about as authentic as her mini sombrero. Ramona & Margee agree that force-feeding a kitten, and forcing her adorable son to speak on his adoption, were not great looks for Jenn this week. However, they were not able to reach consensus when it came to the hot button topic of microwaved coffee! Ramona & Margee also agree that suede kitchen cabinets - like the Dubrows - are excessive and absurd. However, feelings on animatronic closet racks divided them once more! But Emily remains a constant source of accord. Emily’s affinity for cold brew, burgers, bread, and justice speak right to Ramona & Margee. In conclusion: Emily is us. We are Emily. Señor Noodlez is appalling. A Therapeutic Dose is the antidote!

S1E13 RHOC: Narrative No More!

Thursday Aug 17, 2023

Thursday Aug 17, 2023

Since Bravo denied us a new RHOC this week, Ramona & Margee go back to what inspired them to drop their very first Therapeutic Dose – Scandoval! Turns out Scandoval can be infuriating in all new ways when an entirely uninformed Bethenny and an utterly unrecovered Raqu/chel weigh in. Ramona & Margee break down the first two parts of Bethenny’s three-part interview/exploitation of Ms. Leviss upon her emergence from 90 days of treatment with results ranging from questionable to none. Ramona & Margee also briefly touch on 41 recent Georgia indictments, 1 ancient trial-of-the-century, and 2 planets currently in retrograde. This week’s A Therapeutic Dose is to be taken with anything but a Skinnygirl margarita – a beverage as disgusting as the skinny shitlord who created it!
