Ep 77: RomCon - Who the F**k is Jason Porter?

"The Love Bomb & The Reckoning" This week, we consider becoming grifters after a look into Amazon Prime’s 2-part docuseries "RomCon: Who the F**k is Jason Porter?" - a masterclass in love bombing, life coaching scams, and suburban con artistry. We examine Heather’s whirlwind romance-turned-true-crime saga: from meet-cute to financial fraud, with pit stops at fake Italian vacations, shady business moves, and a suspicious amount of missing jewelry. We break down Jason’s playbook of manipulation, the women who tried to warn each other, and the trail of lies that ends in court cases and journalist exposés.   Find All Our Links in One Place:beacons.ai/survivingpodLove the Show?Be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share the laughs with your fellow reality TV junkies!

"Season 2 Reunion" This week, we recap the Season 2 reunion episode, and let’s just say: the drama flowed faster than Mikayla’s coffee enemas. Demi ghosts the group (but not the group chat), Whitney burns bridges to defend her, and Jessi gets thrown under multiple buses—some driven by Marciano, some by TikTok. We unpack it all: from #MomTok infighting and #DadTok trauma reveals, to JZ Styles color styling warfare and an incredibly awkward Dancing With the Stars reveal. There’s accountability theater, Mormon loophole logic, and enough passive aggression to fill an entire Relief Society potluck.   Find All Our Links in One Place:beacons.ai/survivingpodLove the Show?Be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share the laughs with your fellow reality TV junkies!

"Ship Happens" Anchors aweigh and plumbing in disarray! This week, we recap Netflix’s Trainwreck: Poop Cruise—the story of the Carnival Triumph, aka the floating porta-potty that gave new meaning to “all-inclusive.” We walk through every septic twist of the eight-day nightmare: failed systems, nonexistent plans, PR spin that smelled worse than the ship, and passengers praying over bagged poop. From the moment the engine failed to the glorious tugboat rescue, we break down how this luxury vacation turned into a literal hot mess.Don't miss our Plathville crossover with Dr. Adam! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/welcome-to-plathville-2-8-my-everything-guest-starring/id1719547118?i=1000714609258 https://linktr.ee/thesisterwivesprofessor   Find All Our Links in One Place:beacons.ai/survivingpodLove the Show?Be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share the laughs with your fellow reality TV junkies!

"Delusion at Depth" This week, we take a pressurized plunge into Netflix’s documentary about the Titan submersible. We’re talking questionable engineering, billionaire thrill-seekers, and a CEO who treated safety regulations like a personal insult. We unpack the red flags that were waving harder than the ocean currents, the media circus that followed, and how this became the most predictable tragedy no one stopped. Was it hubris? Was it capitalism? Was it a Logitech controller? Yes. Buckle up—we’re going 12,500 feet under, but don’t worry, our hull integrity is fully intact.   Find All Our Links in One Place:beacons.ai/survivingpodLove the Show?Be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share the laughs with your fellow reality TV junkies!

"Whoooo Killed Kathleen?" We're flapping our wings into the The Staircase and the infamous Owl Theory - yes, the one where a random bird is the prime suspect in Kathleen Peterson’s death. We break down the bird facts, the suspicious feathers, and discuss how this theory somehow makes more sense than anything Michael Peterson said under oath.   Find All Our Links in One Place:beacons.ai/survivingpodLove the Show?Be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share the laughs with your fellow reality TV junkies!
