51. A Year of D-List Diaries | The MLM spiral, ChatGPT junkies, spam calls & scam artists
It’s been one full year of D-List Diaries, and Nicole, Gina, and Kirsten are celebrating with an unhinged (and very on-brand) episode. First up: we finally get answers in the Connie Franklin spam call saga.The girls also spiral into a conversation about MLMs they’ve joined (don’t judge), how easily influenced they are, and whether Gina might accidentally get recruited into another one. Plus, they talk about their codependent relationship with ChatGPT, which is apparently now Gina’s dentist?To round things out, Gina shares a story about a salon client gone rogue, and Nicole proposes a genius (but probably illegal) idea: a “bad client” database for service industry workers. It’s equal parts chaos and comedy—basically, classic D-List.Have questions or comments?

49. Cortney Hendrix Sherman from Married at First Sight Season 1 spills the realiTEA
What happens when you think you’re auditioning for a dating show... only to find out you’re agreeing to legally marry a stranger? On this episode of D-List Diaries, Nicole and Gina sit down with Cortney Hendrix Sherman, OG bride from Season 1 of Married at First Sight, who shares the truly wild casting process — from meeting fellow bride Jamie Otis in a bathroom to trying to dodge Dr. Pepper’s home visit. Cortney spills on the moment the casting team dropped the marriage bombshell, how her marriage unraveled, and why the show was way more documentary than drama-driven.Cortney also opens up about life post-divorce, reflects on how MAFS ultimately led her to the love story she was meant for, and dishes on everything from the ethics of kids on social media to her current favorite conspiracy theory (yes, it’s wild). This one’s part reality TV throwback, part real talk — and totally worth the listen.Have questions or comments?
