161. Paige's exit; Marriage and phone etiquette; Next Gen NYC; Jax is just plain dangerous
Paige announced her exit from Summer House this morning, coming off the final reunion episode of Summer House season 9. We have thoughts on why she's leaving and what might be next for her. Amanda and Kyle shared that they have had struggles in their marriage over the last year - and we have some tea on how Kyle's behavior isn't exactly matching up with his words. Is it ever appropriate for a married person to give another person (of the sex they are attracted to) their phone number? How do we handle this situation in our real lives? Next Gen NYC is here and we are pleasantly surprised that we loved the first episode. We do a breakdown on each castmember - backgound and who we're liking and who can go. Plus, our thoughts on why this show really could become Bravo's next big franchise. And last, we share a comment from our friend and Cocktail Party member, @stonecolddaddy about Jax. We couldn't agree more. We hope you're listening on this one, Bravo. This week's podcast is sponsored by Caraway Home. This summer, quit cooking with toxins and make a healthy swap to Caraway.

160. Summer House reunion; Breaking down the Lexi vs Lauren Manzo situation; Valley Casting tea
The Summer House season 9 reunion aired this week, along with it a few details about Paige and Craig's breakup. Do we believe that Craig had bought Paige a ring? Ciara shares about her family dynamic, and it makes a lot click into place for us. Would the girls have been more supportive of Lexi if she had taken the time to get to know them? We break down the Lexi (Dina Manzo's daugher) and Lauren Manzo drama. We have some exclusive Valley tea you won't hear anywhere else. Brittany finds out that Jax hasn't been paying the mortgage: We have two different reactions to this situation. The Valley is casting for season 3, and we share who was interviewed and who's vying for a spot. And it's not just Scheana, lol.

159. 3 year pod-aversary; Summer House; Our thoughts on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
Cocktails and Gossip is THREE years old! Thank you, Cocktailers! We start out with a tangent on what we need in our lives...from home organization to personal assistants who push us to get massages, lol. We have a RHONY casting update plus B has a prediction about Summer House. Amanda's been creeping on Lindsday Hubbard's stories to see whether there is evidence of a gentleman's things in her new apartment. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives dropped ten episodes, and of course, we need to make it about ourselves and the tea we dropped about Jessi Ngatikaura, allegedly, of course. Are these women just mean girls hiding behind their religion? Honest question for everyone - where are the foundations of Momtok written and why is there always dancing? And why we both find all religions to be an interesting topic...

158. A Housewives throuple? Bret Micheals; Did Lexi outplay Jesse at his own game?
Tracy is here and making us laugh, as usual. The RHONY whiplash continues into this week. We're hearing different things from different sources - listen to hear the tea. Love Hotel... and would we date a man who doesn't eat vegetables? Or only eats turkey sandwiches, lol. We have some WILD Real Housewives of Rhode Island Tea. And we mean wild. The Valley continues in its unhinged-ness. Do we see what Kristen sees in Luke now? Does Michelle still have feelings for Jesse? Should we be worried about Danny's darkside? B has a strong, possibly unpopular opinion about Brittany. And on Summer House, did Lexi catch on to Jesse and outplay him? This week's podcast is brought to you by our sponsor, Caraway Home.

157. Bravo's new shows - you heard it hear first, years ago. Another new Housewife city filming?
Bravo announced four new shows this week. You heard it here first, in some cases as many as three years ago, lol. But for real, it's a great time to be a Cocktailer and say, I told you so to any of the naysayers who didn't believe that there would be a Real Housewives in Rhode Island...Speaking of, we have more tea on another possible Housewives city that's currently filming plus theories on why we're still not hearing anything about RHONJ. And there's a big rumor going around about a Housewife moving cities...we'll share what we know. And we share why we find the picture of the RHONY cast minus Brynn to be a little sus. Plus, some breaking Summer House tea.
