The show opens with a sharp rundown of the White House scrambling to contain the fallout from President Trump’s Truth Social post calling for Democratic lawmakers to face sedition charges “punishable by death.” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tried to soften the message, but critics and the RSMS crew weren’t buying it—especially after Trump snapped at Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, calling her “piggy,” continuing his long history of demeaning women. In entertainment chatter, Gary with Da Tea dove into Bravo chair Frances Berwick hinting that both Kenya Moore and a long-awaited Nene Leakes return to RHOA are “not off the table,” which had the cast cutting up. 

A standout moment came when certified sex and intimacy coach Tana C. Gilmore joined the crew to talk holiday dating — from matching pajamas to avoiding messy Thanksgiving questions — while Ricky hilariously went off about women ignoring friendly gestures at gas stations and stoplights. The episode closed on a heartfelt note as Chadwick Boseman was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, celebrated by his widow Simone, Ryan Coogler, and Viola Davis. Simone’s tribute, reflecting on his kindness, brilliance, and dedication even while privately battling cancer, left both the studio and listeners moved.
