This week, Sophie Cunningham and West Wilson welcome Real Housewives of Salt Lake City icon Meredith Marks for an episode that goes everywhere—in the best way. Meredith breaks down the infamous airplane incident (and why the “footage” would’ve made things way less interesting), plus she shares her favorite seat on a flight and the wildly calming secret she falls asleep to: airplane cabin noise. From there, it’s pure Bravo-meets-business. Meredith gets real about being more than a “housewife,” what fuels her entrepreneurial drive, and how a major life moment pushed her into building her luxury empire—jewelry, caviar, and everything in between. West also has one burning question: was he robbed of the Fashion Forward award? Meredith weighs in, and they swap style talk—from fashion inspirations to what it’s actually like pulling looks for big events. And because it’s Meredith, we’re talking DJ life too: how Pride gigs turned into a full-blown career, what crowds hit the hardest, and what her DJ tour schedule looks like now. Plus: Brooks Marks tracksuits get their flowers, and Meredith dishes on the chaos of live appearances—including her and Jesse Solomons’ on-stage singing adventures.Get an Arby's Double Roast Beef or Double Beef 'n Cheddar in-store or Doordashed today. https://www.arbys.com/Shop SKIMS Fits Everybody Collection at https://www.skims.com/showmeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
