Summary

Chelsea and guest Minor League TV host Rachele Friedland take a deep dive into “Real Housewives of New York” star Dorinda Medley’s memoir “Make It Nice,” but first they take a detour to share a few thoughts on season 4 of “The Traitors.” Then, they trace Dorinda’s path from a buyer at Macy’s to marrying into extreme wealth, her life in London society (including making a sweater for Princess Diana), a Met Gala dress drama, and her fish-themed wedding. Plus: a wild run across the DRINGO squares, from psychic moments to a cameo by one of the biggest DRINGOS of them all… Henry Kissinger.
