Summary
This week Mandy is joined by two incredible (and hilarious!) guests - Tom Hamlett from the Dumpster Dive podcast and Anthony Lario. First Tom and Mandy breakdown the RHONY premiere including the amazing entrance of new Housewife Eboni, Leah’s conversation, and LuAnn’s lovable narcissism (14:30). Then, Anthony Lario and Mandy discuss Margaret Joseph’s book, “Caviar Dreams on a Tunafish Budget” (1:16:00) - which you should all read (it’s good!). Plus, hear Mandy’s thoughts on the Summer House reunion part 2.
