Jaz apologizes (again) for her absence and shares her experience of meeting Brooke Hogan at the Orlando Podcast Studio. She expresses her appreciation for the studio and discusses her love for TV and reality TV shows. Jaz focuses on the Real Housewives of Potomac and the drama between the cast members. Despite not wanting to watch ("I can't watch Dr. Osefo go out like that."), social media will provide the clips whether you want them to or not, which leads Jaz to highlight the inability of the cast to move on from past conflicts and discusses the relationship between Robin and Juan Dixon.
