2 SEP 2026 · When the Girl's Trip is too Ultimate, It's time for the Mix in the Box with Mark and Mani again. And what is more ultimate than the return of Nene Leakes to Bravo!
The cast of RHUGT makes their appearance in Atlanta and so does the ultimate peach holder herself--Nene.
Mark and Mani have so much to recap and talk about with Nene's return, her beautiful reception, and her respect of all the icons.
Plus the drama that went down at the alter ego party and a couple detours into real housewives news, and then you've got a Mix in the Box! Not just a recap, we mix it up!

10 AUG 2026 · What a reunion--Between Tom and Mani! Fresh off his podcast rebrand (Dumpster Dive Pod), longtime friend to the show Tom Hamlett is back in the Mix for what is important: the first part of the Real Housewives of Atlanta season 17 reunion! The two talk about the current cast, the rumors, Andy Cohen's role in it all, and if there is a path forward with this cast or if some other women need to come back to the fold. Before diving into the legendary performances of the peaches in this first part, Tom and Mani also touch lightly on RHUGT premiere (more coverage to come!), WWHL, the ladies in the media, and how Tom is liking RHOC and the return of Vicki to the fold. And a shocked Mani takes reconciles with a housewife Tom has come to be fond of that just...she didn't see coming. All that and much more when in The Mix!Get in the Mix with us!

6 AUG 2026 · Back in the Mix for more this week! Real Housewives Ultimate Girl's Trip (RHUGT) is about to premiere and a little party was had where Andrew did some interviews. Discussed...
Mani and Chantel are here to cobble the peaches more. That Real Housewives of Atlanta season as a whole gets a closer look through the lense of the finale. Now that it is over, who flopped as housewives? Three names come up and points are made. Speaking of flop housewives, Beverly Hills casting announcements were made in real time and there was some things to unpack there.
And Chantel gives her boots on the ground Potomac coverage with updates on the Osefos, Stacey's wedding, the upcoming season's casting and filming events. All that and so much more than a recap; let's get in the Mix!

5 AUG 2026 · Official TMWM Real Housewives correspondent Mark (@thepinkpopbox) is back in The Mix to break down the news coming out of Rhode Island (yes Rulla and that man...and that woman) and Atlanta (casting rumors and casting confirmations?). Then moving along in OC we're still covering it for now and finally found a moment that caused (small) gags! And the season of RHOA is ended but the drama and talk has just begun. This reunion will be quite a ride we already know. Also let's discuss these new reality shows just popping up...Mark watched the Stassi show so Mani wouldn't have to and Mani was shocked at what she heard transpired. All that and more gossip in The Mix!
