Reality TV, Trader Joe's, and the Anti-Meatball Campaign
On this weekās episode of After Reality, Iām joined by Daniel, the mayor of Huntington Beach, and weāre diving headfirst into all things reality TV. Daniel shares his 15-week self-imposed fitness āboot campā journey, and we talk about why actual human interaction at the grocery store beats self-checkout any day. Itās a little reality TV, a little Trader Joeās, a little fitness ā and a whole lot of fun. We break down the latest season of Married at First Sight ā what went down, which couples made it, and all the relationship dynamics we canāt stop analyzing. We also wander into a few of our other obsessions, including The Summer I Turned Pretty, some true crime recommendations, and even the unhinged hype around those limited-edition Trader Joeās tote bags. We also get into our thoughts on season 3 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Taylor Frankie Paul as the next Bachelorette. Zig and zag with us. Hosted on Acast.
