Legal team, this week we are departing from our Bravo cinematic universe and jumping into the world of drag to discuss the trademark dispute between Pattie Gonia and Patagonia.

Please don't judge our British accents too harshly while we read out loud the personal text exchanges between Dorit, PK...and their children. And make sure to listen to the end of the episode to hear an update on Kandi Burruss’ divorce!
