Not Your Basic Basic: Recent Episodes

Emma Martine

Welcome to Not Your Basic Basic, the show where I talk about the things that I love and the things that you love! From the overdone and mainstream, to the obscure and unheard of, nothing is off limits. Because what’s more basic than pretending to be into something you don’t give a shit about?

BASIC BITCHES IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK!

Okay, okay, I know I said it last time but this time it's for real (I think...)

Trauma is rollercoaster y'all, and I've been riding the hell out of it lately. I've been doing a lot of soul searching and reflecting and OF course watching tons of reality tv.

Listen to this week's episode for a reality catch up, a supersized life update.

Let's get back to basics together!

Welcome to another episode! Today we're doing a life update, a VPR finale breakdown and also looking at what else is on our screens right now!

We go all over the place today, so grab a snack, get comfy, and let's get back to basics together!

Hello basic bitches! This week was a long and pretty crappy one if I do say so myself. But nevertheless she persisted. 

How the heck are you? Did you almost cry while watching the finale of the Challenge? Because I sure did. Listen to this week's episode to hear a rapid fire recap of all the content you should have consumed this week with a side of sarcasm and despair.

Welcome to the year of memoirs with this week's obsession tour, Craig Conover's book, Pillow Talk.

Here's hoping this week is a little kinder to me than the last, and as always wishing you all nothing but the good things.

I fell again this week, and injured myself because my aging body can't take the heat anymore I guess. Catch up on some content with me, and let's break down the latest season of Real Housewives of Potomac with a little roundup, academia style. Class is in session, Professor Emma presiding, and I present to you the RHOP Season 7 report cards. 

Listen to find out my new fave facial spot in Ottawa, why I think this could be one of Vanderpump Rules' best seasons in a while, and I somehow forgot to talk about the RHONJ premier completely, so we'll get to that another time!

Bitches, this episode includes spoilers about the season 2/series finale of the Gossip Girl reboot!!

This episode had me screaming, crying, throwing up, and just feeling all of the emotions. Listen to find out why this episode surpassed all expectations and why I am choosing to live in the delusion that it was created with me in mind. Three words: Andy. Cohen. Cameo. 

I also share my thoughts on the downward spiral that is Heather Gay's fan ranking, and why if you're still sleeping on Potomac I politely urge you to wake up!

This is a short, weird and reflective episode about thoughts I've had lately.

Jen Shah has kept Real Housewives of Salt Lake City fans on our toes since her arrest in 2021 and this week has been no exception. In the Shahk (see what I did there?) heard 'round the Bravo-verse, Jen Shah changed her vehement not-guilty plea to guilty, in a last minute decision. 

In this episode I talk about Jen's time on Housewives so far, my limited knowledge on the case, and what might come next for the show and for Jen. 

I'll be back at the end of the week with a normal episode, this was just too wild to not have its own moment.

Welcome back to another episode bitches!

We've got tons of reality to recap this week; Beverly Hills, Atlanta, Dubai, the premier of Season 8 of Southern Charm, and of course, All Stars! 

All these episodes were so good this week, with Atlanta being the weakest in my opinion. 

This season of Southern Charm is going to be so good, I can already tell!

Don't forget that coming up we'll have Alisha on to do an All Stars check in, we're going to round up a list of who we all want to read tell all books by, and soon we'll have the new season of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip (Ex-Wives Club) to recap too! The episodes are delayed to release in Canada, for some reason to do with licensing or something like that. But oh well, I have that to look forward to.

A big and hearty NYBB welcome goes out to the first guest of the pod, my friend Alisha! Alisha and I are sharing our thoughts on the premier of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars - aka the all winners season! We were interrupted by our book club that never was, and the storm of the year! 

We also randomly talk about 'dirty sodas', Alisha shares an it seemed like a good idea at the time, and I had a Drag Race related night thought.

Let's get into it!

Until next time, stay basic!

SO many things happening things week in the reality slash Bravo world!

In this episode I break down why I'm basically obsessing over the Real Housewives of Dubai trailer; and I mean, if you're a housewives fan and you aren't obsessing over this, are you a housewives fan? 

We talk the Southern Charm trailer ands possible cast photo drama, Melissa rightfully moving the fuck on from Teresa, and my sadness at the latest Bravo couple to bite the dust. 

Then I share my thoughts on the most recent episodes of Beverly Hills, New Jersey and Summer House. My end of the week tired kicked in before I could talk about Atlanta, but that will come! 

Stay tuned for another episode this week where my friend Aisha and I talk about the new season of Drag Race All Stars!

See you next time!

We survived another week... barely. In this episode, we're heavy on the reality, it was a busy week in the reality world, what can I say? We get into the season 12 premier of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the Summer House reunion awkwardness, and I have a laugh at Kris Jenner's lack of self-awareness. 

As always we have night thoughts, it seemed like a good idea at the time, and find out what I've been basically obsessed with this week. 

Next week my friend Alisha and I will give our reactions and thoughts about the Season 7 RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars premier! I don't wanna say I predicted the all winners season.... but I'll let Alisha confirm that for everyone next week. 

Until then, stay basic, I'll see you next week!
