165: The Gin & Juice Podcast | Church Retreats, Chili's Trump Drama & Love Overboard's Race Problem
Episode 165
Thursday, 2 April, 2026
Melissa and Melanie are back with a packed episode of Gin & Juice!We kick things off with a heartwarming story about Jo's Catholic school church retreat — and the emotional closing ceremony that had Melissa crying for an hour and a half. Then, the conversation takes a turn when tragic news hits close to home.From there, we dive into the Chili (TLC) drama — did she intentionally repost something anti-Michelle Obama, and is she a Trump supporter? Melissa breaks down the algorithm, the accidental repost theory, and what the donations actually tell us.We also get into the epidemic of AI-generated deepfakes and misinformation spreading across TikTok, Instagram, and X — including the fake Druski/Erika Kirk beef that had everyone fooled — and why these platforms need to be held accountable.Then it's a full rant on the state of hairstylists today (location in your bio, please!), followed by a deep dive into the Hulu dating show Love Overboard — and why, once again, black women were set up to fail on a reality dating show.We wrap up with quick takes on Paradise Season 2 finale, Married to Medicine reunion drama (Steve, sit DOWN), and hype for the return of Real Housewives of Atlanta.ZBiotics – zbiotics.com/GJ | Code: GJ for 15% offShopify – shopify.com/GJ | $1/month trialBask & Lather – baskandlatherco.com | Code: GJ for 20% offBetterHelp – betterhelp.com/GJ | 10% off your first monthSend Your Pop The Trunk Story: https://www.speakpipe.com/gjLet's Connect on Socials:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrskevonstage/- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrskevonstage-Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrsKevOnStage-Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/kevonstagestudios-Business Inquires: hello@mrskevonstage.comShop My Outfits: https://www.liketoknow.it/mrskevonstage0:00 Intro1:19 Long Story Short: Joe's Church Retreat17:34 Pop the Trunk: Chili (TLC) & the Trump Allegations31:38 The Versus Battle & Druski Drama32:10 AI Deepfakes & Misinformation on Social Media35:13 Holding Platforms Accountable for Misinformation53:56 Rant: Hairstylists Need to Put Their Location in Their Bio1:03:47 Love Overboard: Intro & Show Overview1:07:00 Love Overboard: Black Women on Dating Shows1:22:09 Love Overboard: The Plank Ceremony Drama1:22:06 Love Overboard: David & Lauren's Storyline1:43:23 Paradise Season 2 Finale Discussion1:51:25 Married to Medicine Reunion Recap2:07:05 Real Housewives of Atlanta
