S03 E09 & 10: Blend's not so grand opening

Reporting to you live from quarantine. We missed you guys! Since we last spoke, Anna got a cat, Laura got way more into "Cats" and Alex had a huge, non-socially-distant birthday party! We talk about what our favorite "Siesta Key" stars have been up to since social distancing started and give you an update on the podcast going forward. 

This episode had it all. Breakups! A determining the relationship talk! Cowboy hats! Georgia! But most importantly, shrimp kabobs. Laura breaks it all down -- from Ish being on the other side of the camera to Alex's horrible, toxic behavior -- and prepares for next week's finale. Send good vibes to Anna, who has the flu!

Okay guys we have lots of tea to spill this week on the Crescent Club, who ACTUALLY runs it and what ACTUALLY goes on there. How do we know? We went there ourselves. We also talk about Jared's ex-wife and the word "slut." It's a doozy! 

Yes that's right. Anna and Laura finally went to the watch party at the Sarasota Modern and met Jared and JJ! They were super nice. We discuss that, plus Juliette's altercation with Alex and Alyssa, our frustration at the totally manufactured pregnancy story line and Robby's influencer marketing agency, which is apparently taking over the WORLD!! 

This was a good episode of "Siesta Key" ! Laura and Anna are appreciative of what feels like authentic drama between Juliette and Robby, Alex and Juliette and well, everyone else. We talk about how Garrett should take it easy, Brandon should guard his heart and how Jared should leave Kelsey and Jake be. Plus, Laura can't decide how she feels about JJ's face and Anna tries to speak Norwegian for all of our Norwegian listeners!

So much vanity in this week's episode! Juliette is really feeling herself, telling Alex he'll never find a girl that's hotter than her. Laura and Anna talk about Alyssa, Robby, Jake and Kelsey's chemistry and Laura's outing to the boutique where Juliette "allegedly" works, Blend Fashion House. 

Anna and Laura are convinced Juliette and Robby do not live in the real world. I mean, who asks to go to Greece when you're just starting a new job? We also discuss Crescent Club, Classico, Lemon Tree Kitchen and other Sarasota locations ... and talk about our attempt to interview Pauly Paul. 

Can you picture Juliette in jail? Neither can Laura and Anna, but they have the police report from the incident in-studio and are going to read it for you! They also discuss Juliette and Robby's lack of palpable sexual tension, Cara's "hot little evil soul" and Alex's return, which Anna was at least excited about! Laura's new pug puppy Linus is in-studio too, but he doesn't have much to say. 

Laura and Anna recap the chaotic — and violent — second episode of the third season, where Chloe gets her hair extensions pulled and Robby gets excited about Instagram likes. They also discuss what it means to be an influencer and Pauly's recent social media tirade against Juliette. 

Madisson has a new man, Juliette is a college graduate and we have a new cohost! Laura and new cohost Anna Bryson talk about Madisson and Ish, the tired reality TV trope of chugging wine and seeing Juliette's new boyfriend on Bumble one time.
