Will and Rider have cha cha’d across the ballroom, maneuvered through the castle, and survived the island, but now they face their biggest challenge yet: the Bravoverse.

Our expert hosts are heading downtown to recap the inaugural season of the highly anticipated Summer House spinoff, “In the City.” Neither Will nor Rider have ever watched a Bravo show, or even followed an unscripted soap opera in general, so it goes without saying this is their first exposure to "Scamanda.”

So join us for the debut episode and find how Rider references French philosophers AND learns the definition of “F boy” in the SAME episode. It's time for the unthinkable - it’s Pod Meets Twirl'd: Metropolitan Mess!

Pod Meets World's Will Friedle & Rider Strong were sitcom stars 30 years ago. The concept of reality TV is honestly pretty foreign to them. But when their best friend Danielle Fishel competed on Dancing with the Stars in 2025, the boys committed to watching their first TV dance competition, and quickly became addicted. And undeniable experts. That is, if you ask them.

 

With their podcast, Pod Meets Twirl'd, they decided to share their newfound discovery, and self proclaimed expertise, of unscripted TV and now they'll continue their journey through the genre. The newly formed cultural thought leaders are ready to start recapping, reviewing and rehashing all the hottest reality shows! Even if they've never never seen it before.

 

First up, the show Rider has never heard of and Will THINKS he can win - Traitors!
