Read the Rich: Recent Episodes
RTR
Read the Rich is a space where we try to make sense of the world through the cultural juggernaut that is The Real Housewives.
Be Thou my vision, Oh shade in my heart Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art Thou my best thought, by day or by night Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Hey guys! Ashley here, we want to know how we are doing as we review the show and spew leftist propaganda. Leave a review with your opinion. And let us have it. Rip into us. We like it. Yes, I mean in THAT wayđ. So you'd be doing us a HUGE favour. Thanks guys đ.
There are but a handful of feuds that mankind shall recall for eternity: the Hatfields and the McCoys, Capitalists vs The Working Class, and Jen Shah vs Angie Harrington. If you want the truth out of Angie Harrington, you may need to take it from her cold, dead hands. Luckily, Jen Shah might be just the lady for that job; someone has to pry open those desperate fingers clinging to the scraps of fame Snowflake-Holders are willing to throw her. Poor thing. Join us as we do a play by play of the Finsta Feud on episode 7 of Read The Rich.
Six! Six! Six! Episode Six of Read The Rich is a number befitting our first guest, who just happens to also be a member of the clergy!
Join us for a religious experience as we chat everything from tithing to choirs to Satan (aka Ronald Raegan).
We had such a great time fellowshipping with another Bravo-liever.
We offer this podcast as a sacrifice to the fandom and pray Meredith Marks sees the light soon.
Amen.
PS. I realize during the editing of this video Tara used her veto on my ratings and as a result we are no longer friends.

Oh no! Itâs happened! Halloween has come to Read The Rich! Episode 5 of Read the Rich is haunted with green & blue lighting and a nameless demon that creeps inside the minds of our hosts. âIt That Shall Not Be Namedâ makes paying attention difficult, gives them hyperactivity such that their knees QUAKE and eventually they canât control their own impulses.
Jk thatâs just ADHD and we deal with that all the time. Itâs just the spooky lighting thing, that part is true. But we just talk about Taylor Swift and fashion. No need to be afraid of that :)
Or is there?âŚ..Mwahahahha
Safe work environments, reverse logistics, sensitivity training and cultural appropriation. We swear it's not the boring corporate episode of our podcast...but honestly our ADHD got the best of us and we can't remember what we talked about, but we sure hope it was funny.
Blowjobs, microchips, our new charity involving starving children in Africa. How do all of these things connect? We discuss all this and more is episode 3 of Read the Rich, Jazz on my face. Itâs also episode 3 of RHOSLC, and we pick up right where we left off last week. Whitney has opened up to the group about being abused as a child. She reveals she has almost no memory of her childhood from ages 9-17. As she says in a talking head, thereâs no right time or place to share this information but she needs her friends right now.
The girls show their support. Heather says her heart is breaking for her right now. Jen expresses her empathy. Lisa says the worst part of this is that she isnât friends with Meredith anymore, and she apologizes again to Meredith for calling her a piece of shit garbage whore.
Meredith is NOT ready to make nice, Lisa keeps interrupting Meredith to debate her into being her friend again. Meredith talks to Lisa like sheâs 5 years old and says that if Lisa goes to therapy and learns how to more effectively be Meredithâs friend, sheâll consider making amends. Lisa makes a suicide analogy, which offends Meredith because she has a family member that tried to commit suicide.
Luckily, Jen Shah is there to make it about herself. She says that she really loves her family, and sheâs really close to them, and loves them and they love her. Maybe Meredith and Lisa can be like Jenâs family? It doesnât really make sense but everyone thanks Jen for being such a wise sage of peace. Meredith says sheâs not ready right now but maybe one day Lisa can be forgiven.
Whitney asks the group if theyâd like to burn something to get over this weird dinner.
The next morning, Jen wakes everyone up with a megaphone and they all go to a drinking trolley, one of those giant cycle bar things where a bunch of people pedal and you drive around the city drinking. Instead of drinking, the ladies throw wine at each other and all over the trolley. The guy driving them does his best not to lose his shit on them and somehow succeeds.
In this podcast we review episode 2 of Season 3 of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Our ADHD takes us down a wondrous path to sharkcuterie to basketball to new age spirituality.
Episode 2 of RHOSLC starts out with the first of 4 scenes this episode where Jen steps into a new acting challenge by playing the role of a victim. In this one, sheâs talking to her mother about the haters and bullies sheâs getting on line as though she made a problematic tweet and didnât defraud the elderly on a large scale. Her mom barely seems to be paying attention.
Meanwhile, Whitney talks to Meredith about Lisa. Meredith says she would NEVER talk about Lisa behind her back, and also reveals that Lisa slept with someone to help her tequila business. Whitney speaks to her brother on the phone about their childhood, and discovers she might be repressing memories of childhood abuse. She speaks to her husband about this, as well as another brother of hers. Everyone seems very supportive which is good to see. One of the heavier scenes Iâve ever seen on any Real Housewives franchise.
Itâs a girls trip to Arizona to accommodate Jen âFlight Riskâ Shah! Lisa and Whitney head to the Arizona mansion a few hours early for some one-on-one time in the hot tub. Lisa says sheâs apologized to Meredith 4 times already and now the ball is in her court. Then the rest of the girls show up, and the momentâs over. Meredith does not acknowledge Lisa at all.
Later that night, the group meets with a white lady calling herself a shaman who gives them all cacao to drink, sort of like a Shirley Temple version of Ayahuasca. Itâs a weird moment. Lisa gives a 5th apology to Meredith who snaps at her, making her go back inside.
Finally at dinner, after listening to Jen Shah successfully drum up sympathy from the other women about how tough it is to be credibly accused of wire fraud, the show pulls one of its grosser cliffhangers when the episode ends just as Whitney shares with the group that she recently learned she was abused as a child. Tune in next week to see how this tragic and vulnerable moment plays out!
What do fantasy housewives, cocoa butter and mutually assured racism have in common? They all come up in conversation as we review Season 3 Episode 1 of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
Jen Shah, stressed and distracted by constant court appearances, expresses her CONFUSION that all of her alleged coconspirators have plead guilty and taken plea deals. Why would they do that? Theyâre all innocent of any crime!
Even more confusing, former mortal enemies Jen Shah and Meredith MArks are best friends now, hanging out in a massive hot tub and talking shit about the other housewives.
The two discuss how Meredith and her former best friend Lisa now find themselves at odds. After Lisa spread nasty rumours about Meredith in the Season 2 finale, Meredith implies she knows some terrible things about Lisa, but luckily for Lisa Meredith would NEVER say any of it.
Meanwhile, Whitney decides to officially leave the Mormon faith and physically remove her name from a register at the church which is apparently the guest list for heaven. This means sheâll be sentenced to outer darkness when she dies. Heather is impressed by her tough friendâs willingness to doom herself to Mormon super hell.
Jen Shah hosts a âHarlem Nightsâ themed birthday party for her husband Sharieff (Coach Shah). Everyone is invited. The party looks expensive and by the looks of it likely cost at least a few Grandma pensions to put on.
At the party, Meredith ignores Lisa. Lisa has a tearful conversation with Merdithâs husband Seth about the state of their friendship, but Seth is not ready to be Lisaâs friend again and indicates Meredith isnât ready either.
Merriam Webster would define the verb to read as being able to receive or take in the sense of (letters, symbols, etc.) especially by sight or touch. We at Read The Rich would say she is a garbage clown who should watch her back. In this our first podcast episode, we cover everything Real Housewives of Salt Lake from pet peeves to who allegedly donated to Ted Cruz to who's husband is in the little leaguesđ...
