   My Big Fat Italian Concussion

   Maddy is still reporting live from Italy, this time with a concussion and an unexpected lesson in Italian healthcare after asking a question no American is emotionally prepared to ask at a hospital… “So… where do I pay?” Back in Arizona, Priscilla has been patiently waiting for Maddy’s brain to come back online because there are significantly more important matters to discuss including Producer Joe’s interpretation of “black tie.” One gala later, Priscilla has discovered both a shocking gap in Producer Joe’s formalwear knowledge and a potential new career selling mattresses that cost more than some houses. Meanwhile, Maddy’s Tuscany personality transformation continues. There are truffles, cheesemaking, saffron honey, an incredible dinner at Demetra Cooking School, a stop at Maccari Montalcino, and yet another food category she’ll probably be unbearable about when she gets home. She also makes a confession about Italian food that no one (least of all Maddy) saw coming. For Whine & Dine, the girls have questions for whoever decided every minor inconvenience in modern life deserves its own app, followed by an official plea to make venue food good again. Naturally, this turns into a very serious discussion about cocktail-hour strategy, the superiority of family-style dining, emergency purse snacks, and what guests will eventually be served when the Aftertaste anniversary party exists outside of their imagination. Then it’s time to Spill the Matcha, where Verity, TSA chairs, Landon Barker and Ashton Earle, and one deeply troubling confession from Alix Earle all make the agenda. Priscilla attempts to catch Maddy up on Dancing with the Stars despite Maddy once again stretching the definition of “watching,” before the girls put some of the millennial and Gen Z zeitgeist on trial in a new Palate Cleanser: Is It Cheugy? Tory Burch Miller sandals, espresso martinis, Starbucks Pink Drinks, and plenty more await their verdicts.

   Garlic Breath Is a Green Flag

   Maddy is still reporting live from Italy while Priscilla is recording with a sick kid, as approximately twelve interruptions stand between them and a finished episode. Somehow, they persevere. Maddy shares her latest Italian discoveries, including becoming a full-blown balsamic vinegar snob, accidentally ordering enough gnocchi for a small family, and learning that sometimes the restaurants with the rudest service are serving the best pasta of your life. Back in Arizona, Priscilla is mourning the impending loss of her neighborhood Jamba Juice immediately after achieving Gold Elite status (cruel), officially entering her Kindle era, and taking a firm stance on one of the internet’s latest debates: please leave your iced coffee in the car before a job interview. The girls also investigate whether anti-blush is actually a trend or simply Gen Z discovering mauve. For Whine & Dine, Maddy would like everyone to relearn the kindergarten-level skill of standing in a line without either becoming someone else’s backpack or leaving enough space for a Trader Joe’s to be resurrected. Then it’s time to Spill the Matcha, where things take a sharp turn from genuinely heartbreaking internet news to John Mayer’s Sphere residency, his extremely questionable lore, Taylor Swift discourse, and VMA looks that apparently require an explanation of what exactly constitutes a chic furry. They also recap Dancing with the Stars despite Maddy’s increasingly questionable definition of “watching.” They finish with a light Palate Cleanser featuring of impossible Would You Rathers. Come hungry, leave fed with a lot of Italian food taste buddies!
