[39:00] THEN, Jess welcomes Dr. Amador, Bethenny Frankel’s therapist on her spinoffs + RHONY season 7. We go deep on the infamous “Lost at Sea” episode in which Dr. Amador took Bethenny & Jason on a sailing trip to Nantucket in which he lost GPS signal and they were stranded at sea for 30 hours. Dr. Amador shares his observations of Jason Hoppy and why he was not surprised at his behavior during the divorce. We also chat about the authenticity of “reality TV therapy” and Dr. Amador sheds light on Bethenny's addiction (or habit) to being seen.

It was a mess from the jump, and she walks Gibson through how she hot involved and what was happening behind the scenes, including a pissed off Daryn Carp & Dorinda crying on the street.

Jess sits down with Summer House OG and Loverboy in Charge, Kyle Cooke. They immediately get to the question on everyone's mind: will they be able to film Summer House in late June amid social distancing rules and safety concerns? Kyle lays out three different possibilities of how they could successfully film the 5th season of the show this summer. We also discuss why the house had to move from Montauk to Southampton/Water Mill, why the current Summer House is on the market for sale, whether his wedding to Amanda Batula will happen in September, and WHY there are always so many packages left on the front door each week. He also shares a ridiculous story of a drunken conversation with RHONY Sonja Morgan last year while selling her wares at a pop-up shop.

Perez is the original celebrity social media influencer dating back to his infamous blog which he founded in 2004 under the name “PageSixSixSix.com.” We talk about the lawsuit filed by the New York Post which forced him to rename his brand and site PerezHilton.com freeing him to become a household name able to move beyond his site into a full blown celebrity pundit/influencer. Jess also gets his hot takes/predictions for the new Lady Gaga era, as well as Britney, Madonna & Justin Timberlake, Jessica Simpson & John Mayer. We then chat about Housewives in general, dating back to when he outed Bethenny’s pregnancy during season 3 of RHONY and became a storyline himself on the show.
