Erin is joined by the hilarious Keisha from The Libra Lounge With Keisha podcast to recap the glorious garbage heap of LALU. Tiffany (and, ahem, Keisha) have a newfound love for Kevin, who can knock a guy out cold without even dropping his cig. We don't like Martel's attitude about Kayla's housekeeping, though, nor do we have even ONE nice thing to say about Earl-Chance-Pitt. Because for real, you guys: He. Is. Scary. Not the fun kind of scary either. #SaveTheShrimps Also, please save Antion...

Erin is still in Belize searching for her 27 year old fiancé Ryan and his cousin Harris so MP is chatting with Katie of A Date With Dateline about s3, ep 15 “Cold and Calculated”. Wow, Mike... no means no and leave means leave. We came out of this episode solidly "Team Ximena." Gino and Jasmine spend their last night together fighting over his ex wife’s last name. Memphis and Hamza get married and have some bed creakin’ sexy time! Oh and she’s pregnant on a very questionable timeline. Kimber...

431 - Love After Lockup (s4, ep4) “Rule Breakers and Love Makers” with Kimberly of A Date with Dateline

March 28, 2022 13:23 - 1 hour - 70.7 MB

Erin is still in Belize searching for her 27 year old fiancé Ryan and his cousin Harris so MP is chatting with Kimberly of A Date With Dateline about S4, ep4 “Rule Breakers and Love Makers”. We have very strong feelings about RayDean and her forcing a throuple upon poor Rick (or Ricky, as Kimberly calls him). Yeah, we talk about her teeth too. We finally find out what happened to Harry…and it’s sad and it’s dark, but at least he can verbalize it. He’s still a terrible boyfriend (and driver) ...

430 - Patreon bonus “Temptation Island” premiere episode!

March 24, 2022 12:00 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MB

On this week’s bonus Patreon clip, Mary Payne and Erin talk about the premiere episode of Temptation Island. We are just getting to know these 4 couples but we can guarantee that most of them WILL be tempted, and not by Mark Walberg’s giant new teeth. You can find the Temptation Island recaps over on Patreon on the Andrei’s Rage level, the Family Pink Shade level and the levels above that! Follow us on Instagram @pinkshadepod! Click the link below to RSVP for our DC area meetup!

March 22, 2022 17:14 - 1 hour - 61.1 MB

Erin is in on spring break in Belize searching for Ryan and Harris, so Katie of A Date with Dateline is helping MP cover Before the 90 Days!  Well, this was quite an episode. Gino and Jasmine get engaged after she tells him “you don’t want ME as an ex.” Sojaboy writes a banger for Queen Kimbaaallyy and she falls in love all over again. Memphis talks MORE about the pre-nup and post-nup and Hamza declares he’s marrying a woman, not a paper. Bible Ben just doesn’t get it and he also has zero fa...

428 - Love After Lockup (S4E3) recap with Keisha!

March 21, 2022 20:21 - 1 hour - 80.8 MB

Erin is in Belize searching for Ryan and Harris so MP is talking Love After Lockup with Keisha. This episode “Don’t Track Me” (S4,E3) was a doozy! We got to really see RayDean’s teeth as well as how much her family just LOVES her girlfriend, Kay! (Poor dumb Rick). We agree that this Chance/Tayler situation feels a little icky. We are confused as to why Kevin is the hottest man in Arlington, TX. We are Team Kurtis, even though we just met him. We hope Harry just goes ahead and breaks up with ...

427 - Best of Patreon with Erin and Mary Payne

March 17, 2022 12:00 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MB

On this week’s BEST OF PATREON, Mary Payne and Erin talk about some real old lady shit… sun damage and dermatologist appointments! That subject leads us right into Erin’s feelings on Jesse ("He keeps coming back like a malignant mole.”) Jesse unites us in a common feeling - our hatred for Jesse. We also double down on our love for Florian! To join us on Patreon, go to www.Patreon.com/pinkshadebunkies See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

426 - 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days “There Is No Fear In Love” with Erin & Mary Payne

March 15, 2022 15:53 - 1 hour - 75.5 MB

This week, Erin & Mary Payne accept the fact that there is literally no one to root for on 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days. Why is everyone such a garbage human? Except Hamza, and Mother Hamza, who goofs on Memphis in a bridal shop. We are here for Hayet's humor - and her cheekbones. Bible Ben sends Mahogany ten pages of texts, like the psycho he is. Gino's temper flares over a Legoland controversy. His fungal toenail infection also flares, which the camera crew are only too happy to troll...

425 - Love After Lockup “P.O. Problems” with Erin and Mary Payne

March 14, 2022 16:33 - 1 hour - 70.5 MB

Erin and Mary Payne are back together to talk about S4, Ep 2 of Love After Lockup! Wow, we have some real mouth hole situations to talk about this week. There’s Indie and Harry, whose teeth are ok, but not a lot of brains. Then there’s Tayler and Chance and while Chance may be Brad Pitt’s cousin, Tayler has a screeching laugh and the bedroom of a college freshman. Rick and his leather vest are both 50 and his no-teeth girlfriend is 20? Or 30? Unclear. Then we have Kaylah who has been waiting...

424 - Best of Patreon with Erin & Amye Archer

March 10, 2022 13:00 - 19 minutes - 17.6 MB

Last week on Patreon, Amye Archer of the 'Gen X This is Why' AND 'Six Degrees of Reality' podcasts joined Erin to discuss season two of Love Is Blind - and the SHAKE of it all. <cringe> We also recapped part one of the Darcey & Stacey Tell All, in which every single person in Darcey's life stages an intervention with her. Take a listen to these 15 minutes of a One Hour and 31-minute episode. And if you want to hear MORE - head over to Patreon.com/pinkshadebunkies PLEASE FOLLOW US ON INSTAGR...

March 08, 2022 22:35 - 1 hour - 75.2 MB

Erin is joined again by our buddy, Kimberly, from A Date With Dateline podcast to recap 90DF Before The 90 Days: Head Games. Kimberly & Erin can no longer defend Mike ever since his 2013 garbage social media posts were uncovered. Damn, Mike! You suck dude. Now we have to be #TeamXimena. <sigh> Gino dances like he is having a full body seizure. Jasmine's mom is horrified by Gino, Gino's "Panama" hat, Gino's yellow toenails, and the general Gino-ness of it all. But she's going to let Jasmine m...

422 - Love After Lockup (Season 4 Premiere) “Happily Ever After?” with Erin & Keisha from The Libra Lounge!

March 07, 2022 19:32 - 1 hour - 78.1 MB

 Erin is joined by our fabulous friend Keisha from The Libra Lounge With Keisha podcast. Our dream of recapping a new season of LALU has finally come true! It's the best sh*tshow on television, and we're here to break down the six disasters that WeTV is showcasing. We've got Indie & Harry taking their whole mess to Oh-HI-O. Kaylah, who allegedly hasn't had sex for 13 years, is waiting for Martel to get out of prison and immediately give her a $40k ring. Because, of course. Biker Rick wants u...

421 - Best of Patreon with Erin and Mary Payne Recapping the Darcey & Stacey Finale

March 03, 2022 13:00 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MB

Mary Payne & Erin recap the finale of Darcey & Stacey (TLC). There was a lot of Georgi pretending to be "in love" with our girl Darce last week, but we are really looking forward to the reunion where Starcey wears Party City wigs and Georgi is a no show. We also talk about butt zapping and why we are too old for it. Take a listen to these 15(ish) minutes of a One Hour and 44 minute episode. And if you want to hear MORE - head over to Patreon.com/pinkshadebunkies PLEASE FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRA...

420 - 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days “Back To Square One” with Erin & Kimberly from A Date With Dateline!

March 02, 2022 00:49 - 1 hour - 73.6 MB

Erin is joined by Kimbaaaaaaaly from A Date With Dateline podcast to recap the burning hot trashcan fire that is Before The 90 Days. Kimberly & Erin cringe at Bible Ben's abject creepiness - and his terrible Instagram captions. We agree that Ximena is SAVAGE, but Mike needs to stand up for himself too. Gino buying Jasmine an engagement ring that costs roughly the same dollar amount as his Sugar Babies cost is just wrong on ALL levels. As is the sad metaphor of the relationship-toothbrush. Ha...

419 - Love During Lockup “The Boy Is Mine” with Erin & Mattie from Reality Gays!

February 28, 2022 20:30 - 1 hour - 64.1 MB

Matt Marr from the Reality Gays podcast joins Erin to recap the season finale of Love During Lockup! We bond over our shared loathing of Gabby and Max, both of whom we hope to never see again. Matt thinks black-and-white-cookie Haley will keep getting conned by Dalton (who will definitely appear on a Dateline episode in 3-5 years). We wonder just how much sewage is floating in the water below Haley & Emily's gondola boat, and we ponder how much hand sanitizer Harry is drinking in the halfway...

418 - "Best of Patreon" with Erin and Payne (Erin sings Doin’ It Big!)

February 24, 2022 13:00 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MB

417 - 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days “Time's Up” with Erin and Mary Payne

February 22, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 71.2 MB

MP and Erin recap this week's BT90! Mahogs is REAL, Bunkies. Like, an actual human woman. Ben has the ordacity of Bethenny to criticize Mahogany's filtered photos, while Mahogs just tries to avoid looking directly into Ben's one good eye. Kimbaaaaaly's shameless begging for sex pays off. Usman is willing to traumatize himself for more videogames. Ximena leaves Mike to go up in da club until 9am, then makes us all barf by drinking a gigantic glass of milk, hungover. Hamza runs around on his r...

416 - Love During Lockup “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not” with Erin and Mary Payne

February 21, 2022 17:10 - 1 hour - 60.4 MB

MP and Erin sit down to discuss last week’s LDLU. OK, so Haley is the ONLY PERSON on this show to ever catch a clue and cut somebody off? Wow. You know who will never catch a clue, nay a brain cell, is Indie! We love Harry and Indie’s mothers and think Yolanda needs a spin off. Tai pulls a Matrix move on Boston at a place called "Fattey Beer” and MP and Erin talk about “Willie Bobo” like the 2 old white ladies they are. We won’t discuss Max and his DC/VA/MD fakery, we are just Mother Debbie ...

414 - Bravo Breakdown w/ Erin & Ryan Bailey

February 16, 2022 21:18 - 1 hour - 62.2 MB

Erin & Ryan Bailey from the "So Bad It's Good With Ryan Bailey" podcast go deep on RHONJ, then dabble in a bit of RHOSLC & RHOC drama. Ryan wonders when Teresa's new "king" Louie's Zen mask will fall off, and Erin just hopes the color underneath that mask is less purple than Louie's current face. They see both sides of the Marge/Jennifer fight, but gotta admit they're #TeamMargaret in the end. The strange fever dream of this season's Salt Lake City continues to baffle everyone - but no one's...

413 - Love During Lockup “Bye Felicia” with Erin and Mary Payne

February 14, 2022 17:52 - 1 hour - 67.8 MB

MP and Erin chat about Santiba and her amazing friends! We love Indie’s mom, Yolanda, and need her to check on EVERY person who ever appears on this show. We also love Dalton’s mother who tells it like it is in a very calm, possibly sedated, voice. We aren’t sure if Gabby is ever going to pick up Chris at whatever prison he is currently in but we do know that his family hates her with a burning fire. And, we still can’t figure out why 2 grown women are fighting over a man named Hottie who is...

412 - Bonus patreon content with Kate Casey!

February 10, 2022 13:00 - 15 minutes - 13.8 MB

Before MP and Kate talked about SET!, they chatted about what’s going on in the OC. Kate lives in the OC and is friendly with many of the cast members, so it’s always fun to hea...

411 - 90 Day Fiance Before The 90 Days “Bad Romance” with Erin and Mary Payne

February 08, 2022 17:31 - 1 hour - 85.5 MB

Erin is back! MP and Erin talk about this week’s BT90, in which Jasmine reads Gino for filth. Gino is officially the dirtbag of the season and we are #TeamJasmine all the way. Jasmine wearing a thong swimsuit while reaming Gino out is just icing on the cake! Erin performs a live reading of Bible Ben's "Runaway Train" story, and she gives it a grade of D-. We say BUH-BYE! to Caleb and Alina. Good riddance to them. Tickle-Me-Memphis is more annoying than ever (someone - anyone - save Hamza!). ...

410 - Love During Lockup “Lost in Love” with Erin and Mary Payne

February 07, 2022 19:35 - 1 hour - 66.7 MB

Erin is back! MP and Erin talk about this week’s Love During Lockup “Lost in Love”. (S3, ep65, no that’s not a typo) Erin thought Talsey’s name was Tall-Z and MP may never get over it. We chat about Indie (female Daonte) and her amazing mom Yolanda and her hot brother John. We still hate Max and hope Santiba is not being scammed, but yeah, Santiba is being scammed. We love Buzz and yeah, Haley is also likely being scammed. We thoroughly enjoyed Gabby’s chat with Chris’ brother Steven even th...

408 - Before the 90 Days “Calm Before the Storm” with Keisha!

February 01, 2022 21:38 - 1 hour - 81.9 MB

Mary Payne chats with Keisha of the podcast The Libra Lounge with Keisha about this week’s Before The 90 Days episode “Calm Before the Storm” (s3, ep 8). One assumes this is referring to Gino and Jasmine because JUST when she says she trusts him and thinks he’s so amazing (Bruce Willis, no less!) - she finds out he sent nude photos of her to his ex. Now come on, Gino, why would you do that? The title could also refer to Kimberly and Usman because she’s calm and then she’s stormy? Either way,...

407 - Love During Lock Up “Buy Buy Love” with Amye Archer

February 01, 2022 01:31 - 1 hour - 59.6 MB

Erin is out dealing with a family emergency so MP is chatting with Bunkie Amye about Friday’s Love During Lockup episode titled “Buy Buy Love”. Indie is literally MOVING to Ohio (with her toddler) in an under packed U-haul with her amazing mom, sister and brother. She doesn’t care if Harry kidnapped someone because he didn’t have any DV on his rap sheet. She’s Daonte II. Gabby tells her friend that Chris's ex sent her some voice memos where he claims he’s not with her so she’s wondering what...

406 - Patreon bonus “Love Me” with Mary Payne and Erin

January 27, 2022 23:05 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MB

From her Payne in the Pod days (RIP) Mary Payne talks to Erin about the Amazon Prime (formerly on Netflix) documentary, Love Me. This documentary is about a bunch of sad sacks riding around Ukraine on a tour bus looking for love. This shitshow is the precursor to all 90 Day Fiance shows and if you look close enough, you can see "Wig" in the background on one of his 24 trips to the Ukraine (just kidding).

Please follow us @pinkshadepod on Instagram! Erin is out of town dealing with a family issue, so MP is joined by Katie of A Date with Dateline to talk about Before the 90 Days. Wowza, we feel sorry for Mike but agree with Ximena on this whole “farting and burping” thing. As for Alina and Caleb, we are sorry to see Elijah go and think Caleb will never commit to her. We think Jasmine is batsh!t crazy and does not understand the term "double standard." Usman is never going to bang Kimbaaaly, an...

404 - Love During Lockup “Catch and Release” with Kimberly of A Date with Dateline

January 25, 2022 00:25 - 1 hour - 66.3 MB

MP is joined by Kimberly of A Date with Dateline to talk about the latest episode of Love During Lockup (Catch and Release). We agree that Gabby is spoiled and wonder just how much Chris’ mom hates her. We think Tai should stick with Angel, a real live man. We like Santiba’s vibe but didn’t love her questionable boudoir photo shoot! We don’t care about Max and his fake story line but we REALLY need to know if Dale drove a locomotive or a child’s Choo Choo train. Also, we applaud Haley for RE...

402 - Before the 90 Days: Burns and Betrayals with Katie of A Date with Dateline

January 18, 2022 19:14 - 1 hour - 85.6 MB

MP is joined by Katie of A Date with Dateline to talk about Before the 90 Days. Katie rescinds her assertion from earlier in the season that Caleb and Alina are going to make it. MP actually thinks Gino and CrazyPants might make it. I mean, they will make it - or she will murder him. We also have high hopes for Mike - maybe not Mike and Ximena. Mahogany is not real and Ben is having an epic mid life crisis and we are here for it! We wonder if Memphis and Hamza will actually get married and k...

January 11, 2022 17:05 - 1 hour - 76.3 MB

Erin & Mary Payne are finally reunited to recap BT90, and whoa, do they have a lot of trash to talk! Erin ponders on the many splendored ways she loathes DJ CAH-LEB, and wonders WTF is really under Gino's hat. MP & Erin both weirdly love watching Jasmine on TV, but are scared she might murder Gino with her bare hands. Both of them pray that Mike isn't also "offed" by one of Ximena's exes. But MP does convince Erin that Mike & Ximena might be the only couple to "make it" among this season's d...

Erin is on break so Mary Payne is chatting with our special LALU correspondent, Kimberly from A Date With Dateline, about the FINALE! This episode is titled Prison Promises and it was SUPER LONG. We find out that Ray PROMISES to marry Britney by the end of the year… well, it’s almost the end of the year, so did it happen? We sadly see that BonnieKristy is still missing although Instagram shows us something different. And we think JohnClyde looks good with a Man Bob. We didn’t enjoy the Britt...

391 - Before the 90 Days premiere with Kyle of Cray Cray

December 15, 2021 01:04 - 1 hour - 71.6 MB

Mary Payne talks with Kyle of 90 Day Fiance Cray Cray about this week’s premiere episode of 90 Day Fiance Before the 90 Days (aka BT90)! Kyle and MP both have a lot of opinions on Caleb and Gino. If Steven and Larry had a kid, it would be Gino! We aren’t sure what to make of Jasmine, but we do know what to make of Baby Girl Kim and it ends in heartbreak. And, we hope for the best but prepare for the worst for Memphis and Hamza.  Follow Kim and Kyle on Instagram at @90dayfiancecraycray and @...

390 - Life After Lockup with Kimberly of A Date with Dateline

December 13, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 62 MB

Erin is on break so Mary Payne is chatting with Kimberly from A Date With Dateline about the “almost finale” episode of LALU! This episode is lazily titled Bitter Baby Mamas and BaeCations. Really, WeTV? Who is writing these titles? We are really hoping Amber and Puppy aren’t near a mountain edge or it’s gonna be a full Thelma and Louise situation! We have real fear that Ray is gonna bust out a promise ring and get thrown off the lame rooftop deck party in Miami. We can’t believe Shawn is ab...

389 - Bravo Breakdown with Mandy Slutsker

December 11, 2021 04:22 - 1 hour - 76.2 MB

Mary Payne talks with friend Mandy Slutsker of the "Is this Real Life?" podcast. MP is always so impressed with Mandy’s Bravo knowledge and hot takes. We have to talk about our favorite show, VPR, and the rumors about what went down at the reunion. We chat about why we think RHOSLC is the best show on Bravo right now. We are here for the return of Heather Dubrow on RHOC and LOVE Gina’s energy… but that’s about it. MP predicts this is Shannon’s last season (you heard it here first!) At the en...

388 - 90 Day TOW Tell All recap with Matt of Reality Gays!

December 08, 2021 04:42 - 1 hour - 92.9 MB

Mary Payne talks with the hilarious Matt of the podcast Reality Gays about the 90 Day Fiance The Other Way Tell All. Wow, this was quite a journey. We agree that we liked Ari’s takes on everyone’s situation but her own. We just cannot believe that Alina is going to stick with Steven, but she’s going to have to either be 5150'd by her mom or learn her lesson the hard way and we just hope they don’t have kids together while she realizes he’s a creep who will never change. We loved how Kenny pu...

387 - Life After Lockup with Kimberly of A Date with Dateline

December 06, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 67.8 MB

Erin is on break so Mary Payne is chatting with some truly amazing co-hosts… like today’s guest Kimberly from A Date With Dateline! While we are impressed with Nicole’s public restroom makeup vanity, we were not impressed with Daonte’s fake car wreck and sneaking up on the wedding. We don’t care about Shawn proposing to Sara but we do think she’s currently pregnant with his 7th child. We don’t think it’s a good idea for Ray to break out the ol’ promise ring on their Miami trip. We don’t unde...
