Show Notes
Brandi and James are back and Brandi is already in the news — her joke about being ashamed her kids don't do drugs apparently broke the internet, and she has exactly zero regrets about it. They break it all down, plus James drops the confession nobody asked for: he once hooked up with a TMZ paparazzi, and yes, the guy found him.
Also on the agenda: Bethenny Frankel quietly quit her podcast and Brandi has thoughts, Lindsay Hubbard won an argument and then immediately lost it by bringing up the nanny, why middle-aged divorce is a terrible idea, Jussie Smollett's story still doesn't add up, and Brandi's drunk Lionel Richie encounter at Roku Sushi that you need to hear start to finish.
It's messy, sassy, wildly unfiltered, and exactly the kind of spiral you come back for every week.
More from Brandi Glanville Unfiltered
Brandi’s got a surgery date. Dr. Carlo Henrado is going in on Friday to figure out what’s actually going on under her skin — two specific spots, already marked, exploratory. She’s calling it great news, which tells you everything about how the last few months have gone.
Brandi’s face is rattling. That’s not a metaphor. She’s got some kind of fungus situation going on, it’s moving down her body, and she has photos she’s threatening to share with everyone. Recovery continues to be a journey of surprises.
Brandi's giving the real update — where she actually is with recovery, what the bills look like, and the part nobody asks about: what it feels like to owe that many people and mean it when you say you'll pay every one of them back. She and James get into when she's getting back to work, and what "back to work" even looks like right now.
Brandi finally has an answer. After three years of being told it was anxiety, stress, or all in her head, an ultrasound showed fluid on her brain — and suddenly every doctor who brushed her off had some explaining to do. She and James get into what those three years actually cost her: the appointments that went nowhere, the $7,000-a-week treatment her insurance barely dents, the creditors calling, and the GoFundMe her friend Gina set up because Brandi was too proud to ask.
Brandi is flying solo and honestly thriving — James called out last minute claiming his phone got "hacked," and Brandi is not entirely convinced. No cohost means no interruptions, and she's making the most of it, starting with the Kim Zolciak headlines about her 15-year-old son and why everyone needs to wait for actual evidence before piling on a kid.
